Video: How Hyrule Warriors Forges A Link With Zelda's Past

TOO BUSY PLAYIN' SMASH

@drewb0203 True dat

Awesome vid guys! @drewb0203 @themac2001 I play warriors (and earthbound) at home, and smash at uni

@drewb0203 Yup

Smash is for on the can and on the go till it comes out on Wii U.

@PvtOttobot Lucky

Good to know everyone here is enjoying the game. You know not talking about Smash or anything. O.o

I've sunk at least 40 hours into this and I'm no where near down. Beautiful looking game and surprisingly more fun then I thought it would be. Cutting through hordes of enemies never felt better!

@Spoony_Tech Same here!! (With Smash i'm waiting for the Wii U version in December)

@whodatninja I seen your video you deleted lol. Of course I was just kidding.

Too busy playing Smash to pick up this game right now.

I love this game !

@Spoony_Tech Haha i know =D

I'm glad I'm not the only one pronouncing it Lake HIGH-lia, instead of HEE-lia. People don't say Heerule do they, no they say HIGHrule

I would defiantly consider this an underrated title for Wii U, this was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Loved the music, locations, gameplay, story, and unlike most of the games on my Wii U, lengthy.

@Hero-of-WiiU zgreed. its a remarkable compilation of all things zelda, and theres Soooo much to do and even more coming. i really hope people end up buying this game down the road

I am enjoying this game much more than I expected I would. Bring on the DLC (not that I've finished Adventure Mode yet, or 100%'ed Legend mode...)

How much is DLC pack?

Totally a game to get. Enjoying it very much

I have sunk lots of hours into the game and I am nowhere near beating it on hero(I beat it playing hard) and have quite a bit of adventure mode left as well. Do you get anything for beating all the lower difficulty levels besides a check mark next to the difficulty?

gosh, you can turn those annoying life-bars on the enemies off you know?

@whodatninja I must admit, I can't imagine why someone would pronounce it any other way than hi-lee-ya!

I (24 years old) have been banned from buying any more games before christmas by my family and girlfriend, so I'm going to have to make Hyrule Warriors last ^_^

Fantastic game and with the large DLC support I think this'll easily be the 2nd best game of 2014 (first being Mario Kart 8 which also has good DLC support).

@whodatninja I honestly have never heard anyone pronounce it Hee-Lia and I can't imagine why they would. High-Lia just make more phonetical sense.

Been loving this game to death. Can't wait until the DLC arrives. Somehow this game has pushed Smash into the background for me. I've played Smash occasionally on the go, but even then Curtain Call is mostly what's played on the 3DS these days.

Something must be wrong with me...I was super excited for Smash, but then I played Hyrule Warriors...lol.

@Samuel-Flutter

I've always been partial to saying it like Hill-ian, a similar sound to when you say 'Sylph.'

#FreeRyo i was banned from miiverse with over 2000 followers all because i was doing a art academy drawing of Cia! unreal go to my post and #FreeRyo help me lift this ban so i can get back on miiverse!

Whats game play time roughly to beat it? Not wanting a 100% complete time. Just the average 50ish % complete? Not buying this if its only like ten to fifteen hours. At least not anywhere near $60.

@Subie98 Depends on what you want in terms of approx 50% completion. Are you considering "beat it" as reaching the credits in Legend and Adventure mode? I haven't reached the credits of Adventure mode yet and I've spent over 50 hours so far.

@Subie98 I've read that 100% would be something like 230 hours, so 50% would be above 100 hours.

@Ryo_Hazuki-san wow were you drawing Cia naked or something?... Oh wait, nm, it's Cia!

@Grumblevolcano i didnt research the game that much. I have no idea. @jariw that gives me a much better idea. Thank you sir. Seems worth it

@whodatninja
There's no way that Hylia is supposed to be pronounced "Hee-lia"

The japanese name is ハイリア (hairia) ... which is the same as pronouncing it "High-lia" (the same as how the person in the video pronounces it)

@May_Nyan Yes. Thank you.

I want to give this game a chance but we have so many unfinished games and Minecraft is all my kids need lately. Plus, the kill-the-hoards gameplay is not so great for kids. We play the Zelda proper games together and they have their violent moments, but have worthwhile themes and are much more thoughtful and balanced.

I will say I keep going back to the in-store demo and playing it. It has a cathartic mowing-the-lawn feeling to it. lol.

@whodatninja
I pronounce it Heelia personally. If Hyrule is pronounced HIGH-rule, it doesn't mean Hylia needs to be HIGH-lia. So Sonic Boom should be Rise of LAI-ric in your books instead of LEE-ric?

@whodatninja @May_Nyan @Samuel-Flutter
Good point on the Haira is to HIGH-lia but Hylia has another form Hylian. So for me, it's Hee-lian.

Been mostly playing Smash but returned to Hyrule Warriors today. DLC is coming soon and I haven't even finished the first Adventure mode map yet.

@May_Nyan I've just heard a bunch of Youtubers over years pronouncing it Heelia. A pet-peeve of mine i suppose... But nice to have official confirmation from the Japanese side

Hyrule Warriors best game ever!!!

@aaronsullivan Thats what I thought when I played the demo at Best Buy. "Oh this is so repetitive and boring!" However, the Zelda fanboy in me decided to pick it up anyways a few days after release. Bets choice I have made in a while. The demo was boring since it was just the first level. Once you get into the meat of the game with the scenarios getting much more difficult, unlocking cool combo's/upgrading characters, and playing through Adventure Mode...Hyrule Warriors is a must have.

@suburban_sensei Good to hear. I actually meant the comment about a cathartic mow-the-lawn feeling as a good thing for the most part. I do keep going back to it after all.

I am really enjoying this game which is slightly surprising as it looked repetitive. My only grumble is its lack of an online multiplayer mode.
