Topic: Hyrule Warriors (& Legends) - OT

I'm a bit disappointed by this pack.

I mean, I'm sure I'll love it, but the PH part of it is... So not there.

The map seems to be based on PH... With ST music, wut.

@Meowpheel The Adventure map is actually split into 2 halves, the left half is the Spirit Tracks world and the right half is the Phantom Hourglass world.

Oh joy. That's 50% less PH now.

@Meowpheel The map's mechanics are inspired by PH, like each square you play represents sand emptying from the hourglass and once the sand runs out the map becomes much more difficult. Certain battle types refill the sand and things such as Linebeck Trading Company appear on the map.

Another thing I noticed is the Wii U's character select screen has changed to pretty much suggest there's 3 characters left (excluding Toon Zelda).

Please linebeck. Or maybe they just want to trigger everyone's ocd by having both versions with a glaring empty spot in the character select screen.

Also it's worth mentioning that as expected, the level cap is now 200.

Omg TZelda's victory and chest opening animations. Phantoms have never been this kawaii.

Spotpass content is 1 million rupees, 5 Delicious Life Tree Fruit, 5 Delicious Light Fruit, 5 Delicious Stamina Fruit and 5 Delicious Water Fruit

I unlocked a costume.

Here's some more costumes

Well I got YLink's Lvl 4+ weapon and dang. This thing is ridiculously strong

Juts ordered this game to arrive with my new 3ds next week. I can't remember, so forgive me for the silly question, but is there cross save between the wii u version and this? I would hate to have to redo all those adventure maps. Also, I'm assuming you can't transfer the handheld adventure maps to be played on the wii u version, right

@Operative No cross save. Redoing Legend mode and the first Adventure map gets annoying if you've played them on Wii U recently but replaying the Wii U DLC maps is only really necessary for getting through the level 4+ weapon stages in the LA, PH/SS and ALBW maps which are skippable anyway. Outside of those, getting through the 3DS DLC maps is reasonable even with only level 2 weapons (you get the level 2 weapons on Legend mode and the 3DS exclusive Great Sea map).

@Grumblevolcano thank you for the information! It's a bit of a bummer but I'm sure it'll be just as fun. Also, a random thought, but is that infinite rupee glitch from like two years ago still around?

No, it's gone.

Anyway, the Adventure map is different from the Wii U version. It's much easier and the weapons for ALL characters are spread out.

Never before has there been a game I so badly want to play more of (and buy the DLC) but can't possibly justify doing so if I want to play anything else.

For those wondering, these are all the costumes in the Big Adventures map (3DS):

Copied the list from game FAQs... Because I'm too lazy to write it all myself.

So my copy got here much earlier than anticipated, my new 3ds won't be here till Thursday. I tried it out and so far the game is playable. Well, it's much less awful than online reactions made it seem. Just made me even more excited to play it on the more powerful hardware

Hope you have fun!

About the adventure maps, they're all rebalanced and a tiny bit different from the wiiu (they include missions for all the characters), so it doesn't completely feel like redoing everything.

I bought the DLC for both the 3ds and wii u, just in case. Initially I figured I might as well just play everything on the wii u version strictly for the graphics, but the portable version has its own advantages. I suppose I'll use the wii u version for multiplayer

I never bought the first batch of dlc on the wiiu, and with Legends, I doubt I'll ever buy it.

I did get all the other dlc, including these new characters, though.

Toon Zelda is a tank. I love her
