The "Twilight Princess" DLC pack is just around the corner for Hyrule Warriors, and Famitsu has revealed the downright quirky content that'll be included.
The headline — for us, anyway — is the emergence of a Link costume in which he's dressed like the Postman; it's quite a bizarre sight, and fans of Twilight Princess may also be pleased to see Ilia make an appearance [Update: this is actually an alternative Zelda costume].
Next up we have a blast from the DS past with Zelda summoning statues with a new attack rod, though this was also a feature in Twilight Princess:
As previously announced Twili Midna will be available, and in the screens below you can see her appearance and her attack as she rides wolf-form Link, similar to the standard Midna character.
Ganondorf appears to be swinging around 8-bit chest keys as weapons, which could be quite dangerous.
In addition there'll be a new Adventure Map, once again expanding the content available. Some of the outfits and new characters / weapons are certainly eye-catching this time, though, so let us know what you think.

Best subtitle for a news ever. Kudos for that.
@KeeperBvK To be fair @antdickens came up with it.
Link is so sexy in that picture, and I'm straight!
Midna just looks a bit fat :/ It's those feet xD
Awesome, we didn't really get to see enough of Twilight Midna in Twilight Princess. This game is driving me to re-acquire both Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, partially because my daughter is also playing it. Getting a Pro Controller is also on my list because I really dislike the Remote+Nunchuk controls. Why oh why can't we remap buttons freely?
Midna looks delightful, and Link in that postman outfit is downright bizarre. What about that Ilia model? A skin for some character (Zelda?)? Or an actual character? Looks like a very fun DLC pack.
Wow midna looks really sexy lol, and ilya, really cool, cant wait to play it
Hyrule warriors has really surprised me, it's a wonderful game and very addictive. Can't wait for this DLC!
@ThomasBW84 ...and also humble and generous.
Okay, kudos to Ant, then.
@KeeperBvK I'm warming up what I think is a good DS tagline, so stay tuned...
I like HW's Ilia with pointed ears more than TP's one with human ears.It's a bit closer to the her design sketches and make her look like and older Saria.
Dem legs on Link!
The postman Link costume is certainly unexpected, but hilarious, so welcomed with open arms.
I don't see why it's Zelda whose been given another weapon, given there are other characters who lack multiple weapon choices still, but oh well. I haven't enjoyed using Zelda's standard weapon, so perhaps I'll prefer using her with the Dominion Rod.
According to the Siliconera article about this news, the inclusion of Ilia serves as an alternative skin for Zelda. If true, it's not something I'm a fan of, using skins to have characters become completely different characters.
This DLC doesn't interest me all too much, but it's appreciated all the same, and when I get back to playing Hyrule Warriors I'll sure to have some fun trying all of it out. That said, hopefully the other two DLC packs will be more to my liking and interest (c'mon playable Tingle inclusion).
Link and Midna look hawt as always
...What were they thinking with that first Link DLC?!?
Its pretty disturbing. I know I wouldn't buy it. ._.
Is Underwear Postman Link supposed to be the male answer to Bayonetta? Nooooo!!! lol. Bayonetta should just make a dlc cameo instead.
Lol links hot
Ilia was such a sweetheart, glad she's getting some recognition
Oh. I don't care for HW, but dayumn that Postman outfit is dabes.
It's fun to stay at the Y.M.C.A.!
I really hope there will be Skull Kid and Tingle as playable characters in the next pack.
@PvtOttobot ehh what? she doesn't look fat at all to me, especially her thighs are really skinny... also I think she would have some muscle in her calves
@xerneas If you compare her to her appearance in TP, she just looks off. You know what, it's probably because of the composition, she's got her leg and foot in the foreground so they appear larger.
In Twilight Princess, it's called the Dominion Rod, not attack rod. It's not a throwback to the DS games. Zelda is using the Dominion Rod from Twilight Princess. Also, Zelda possessed phantoms in Spirit Tracks, not statues. And a rod was not used at all.
Sorry for being so nitpicky.
I am utterly disturbed by that Link costume.
I just heard the postman theme going on in my head when I saw this
And then Ganondorf became a Keyblade Warrior.
Okay I'm buying the season pass now and the game later.
The whole game is pleasantly bizarre, so this content really fits right in!
But PLEASE, make a weapon for link with mole mits, a gust jar, and Ezlo as an agressive cap! He hould dodge by shrinking, or finish an enemy by shrinking him and stepping on it, Duke Nukem style...
And a Toon Link and Toon Ganondorf skin, a Wind Waker as weapon, or the hammer. It might be a weird fit, but they come from different era's anyway. And 8bit weapons are awesome too, so why not? Or even some side characters or bad guys from the DS games!
Sadly, no pack is themed Minish or Wind Waker. Still, Tingle...
@Shambo Nailed it shambo..some great ideas there...loving the game and some minish cap elements would be welcomed by me
Ok, they needed an outfit for Link from Twilight Princess and they picked the postman over the more logical Hero's Shade?
My wife said when looking at the Link picture, "wow a realistic looking girl for once!".
The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Post!!!!!
First Class outfit!!!!
When is the delivery of this DLC?
omg postman!!!!!
After the excellent Pikmin movies these are not the Link shorts I wanted!!!
Yes! I was right on my Summoning Rod and True Midna guess!
That is Link as Ilia.
Speaking of DLC, it was finally officially confirmed you can buy Mewtwo for Sm4sh seperately from the promo. https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/535440805054672896?s=09
Okay, I was discussing the possibilities for the TP pack with a friend FOR DAYS, but neither of us were even close to coming up with this - and it's awesome!
Also, I feel like there's a war emerging here. A war of curves between Midna and Shia!
This was the first thing I saw when I woke up this morning. Seriously thought I was still dreaming.
@andyg1971 The Twilight Princess pack is a worldwide release next thursday (november 27th)
I like Twili Midna, and I hope she will be a bit less awkward to play as than Imp Midna. The Dominion Rod for Zelda looks great in that one screenshot. I was expecting a Hero's Shade alt for Link, but the Postman is so out of left field that I can't help but love it. It's the costume no one asked for, but secretly really wanted!
The Wii era Zelda series has been the worst so far. And I'm also accounting for Majora's Mask. Ugh.
@DiscoGentleman Sad to say I noticed that, too. Dude has his own harem in this game and they couldn't even give him a bulge?
What were they thinking with link?!?!
yup, if they can put Link in those white short shorts, then we'll almost certainly see typical Team Ninja swimsuit DLC....
@DiscoGentleman Nope, I'll always refer to her by her japanese name - sounds sexier.
Also, I'm imagining your Toad avatar with dark skin and a beard right now, and I don't knof if I should be scared or amused.
Link looks mad gay.
It reminds me of the Fire Emblem Awakening summer pack. Link in short shorts should be a character in his own right. He could strike 'manly' poses at enemies to kill them.
@Legodavid18 I knew it was out on Thursday I was just making a postman link joke lol
yay for skimpy shorts!
That Link costume.. I don't know whether to be horrified or laugh...
Also, I KNEW it! I knew either Lia? Ilia? However it's spelled or one of the kids with their wooden swords and slingshot would be there!
POST MAN LINK FOR SMASH PLEASE
oh god that awful postman costume! the rest is cool.
Wow, it all looks pretty sweet to me! But I've barely even touched the last DLC adventure map, looks like I'll have plenty to do when I finally decide to start catching up!
It's also kinda unfair Postman Link doesn't get a bigger bulge when pretty much all the women are these busty babes. Someone needs to teach him that wadded up sock in the crotch trick...
...or maybe this is why Link has the sole right to wield the Master Sword...compensating... ;P
@DiscoGentleman Because I only refer to the japanese names if I like them better. Shia sounds sexier, and I'll keep calling her by that, but that's the only Zelda name I refer to in it's japanese version, as I never said I'd do so with any other character.. And yes, I'm well aware of the customs of japanese romanization.
Soooo... jokes back on you, I guess.
Bleh, was hoping the Mailman would actually be a new character. xD
Huh huh - Postman's got a bulge... >.<
@DiscoGentleman Jokes for everyone!
Now all we need is Pants-less Zelda I - Link's Awakening Link.
Lmao, I really love this DLC pack! Love the costumes for Zelda and Link too 😏
Link as the mailman just cracks me up. That's freakin hilarious. Can't wait for next Thursday.
Cool costumes. Really looking forward to playing as True Form Midna. That Link costume getting alot of people riled up lol uh oh...
I absolutely love it!
@Jaunty Postman Link kind of turns me on...which makes me utterly disturbed.
When I first met Ilia she was barefoot and I thought it made sense because she was a rural country girl but later it became apparent she was the only human (hylian) in the entire game that goes barefoot everywhere which made her barefoot situation no matter the location or terrain kind of unusual.
Wat.
Is Link a girl?
Is Link a girl?
Love Twilight Princess, and I might have to get this pack/
Midna!!! Oh my god!
@3DSFlo Yes. Yes he is.
@King_Johobo
You are not the only one, lol
So, Ganondorf gets Keyblades?
@AyeHaley
I agree ...well with the Midna part...but I'm glad OTHER people can enjoy Link in his hot pants XD. Fanservice is justified if they pander to all genders and sexual orientations at once!
@PvtOttobot Excuse me, what?! Fat?! Oh dear.... I'm definitely on the side of things where I think the state of the sexualization of women in media is negatively affecting us. I present this comment to illustrate my point. Really, though. I don't mean to be mean. I just can't look at Midna and say she's fat in this portrayal for the life of me!
Ganondorf's swingin' them 8-bit Keyblades, ay?
@treeofmana grabs popcorn
@3DSFlo are you ignorant?
I didn''t actually remember how Midna looked in TP. Now I'm not surprised that she left no impression: looks generic and boring, almost ugly in my eyes.
But the new costumes for Link and Zelda are surely great!
This is getting ridiculous. The game isn't even that great, and they are starting to milk DLC fanservice so they can get your money :L
But im not gonna lie, playing as twili midna sounds cool.
