Video: We Tackle the Legendary Hyrule Warriors "Master Quest Pack" DLC

I've only tried the new adventure mode map so far. I really like the new challenge where you just KO as many guys as possible.

I got it as well and played around with it for a couple hours last night. Finished the story chapters and scratched the surface of the huge Master Quest map... Very cool they are adding more content and am looking forward to the next couple additions. It is already a very large game with TONS (literally) of things to do. Keeps me busy anyway!

I would like to note that future updates should include: moving the map and objectives and/or dialogue to the Gamepad to free up the main screen; Groose and Majora's Wrath/ Skull Kid but not Tingle as a playable. Adding another big boss or two and another secondary item or two would be cool but the game would be fine as is as well so no complaints at all here; just saying it would be cool. Great game; it's a shame so many passed this off... Bad form.

The new content for this game has been a lot of fun already, and I think at a good value if you get the full $20 pack considering there is plenty more on the way. Epona is a lot of fun to run around with, along with being able to play as the three villains (though technically that was part of a free update not the paid DLC). I'm really surprised to see a whole new Adventure map as well, adding more and more hours to the gameplay. I'm impressed.

The way things are going, I will end up buying this alongside Bayonetta 2.

So much content in this game. Epona is a blast to play with, although I find her hard to control. I'm going to dream that we get Wind Waker skins for the characters. Ganondorf's WW costume is my favorite.

@sinalefa this is definitely worth picking up, as there is an absolute ton of stuff to do, as there is in Bayonetta 2 as well

With the NA numbers at 190K and knowing 100K physical sales in Japan.....it seems highly likely that this is up over 400K in sales which to be honest shocks me. I wonder if the sales will push them to try another crossover in the series....maybe a Fire Emblem Warriors?

That vid reminds me how much I hate item selection, whether buttons or touch screen it just seems like a pain. I'ld sacrifice hookshot if I could have bomb up, arrow right, boomerang left and health down on the D-pad. I don't mind the R button to use, its the selection process that's the problem. The fairies that break the barriers could be auto on R when you're in the correct room if you have the correct fairy, game wouldn't change much if we didn't have to mess up our weapon selection to choose the fairy bottle which in the heat of battle looks a bit to much like the potion bottle to me.

Great game, that's my 1 big peeve. Smaller peeve, no materials inventory list. Telling me it costs 20 brown squares or 5 silver ones to make a Weapon + potion doesn't help if I don't know how many I have. If they at least told me the name I could try and memorize how many of each I have, but it's just a colored square. Badges at least give a name and quantity.

i must be honest this was my biggest surprise game this year because if it wasnt for the demo i played at the Nintendo store i wouldve missed out on this awesome game! the additional adventure maps alone is worth the season pass but like the MK8 DLC i have no regrets and have so much to play im going to be busy for a long time but once Bayonetta 2 comes out everything else shall have to wait for Cereza LOL!

I bought this game as a bit of a risky purchase but I'm so glad I did - it really was an awesome surprise and I can't stop playing!

Looks awesome,i should be picking up my copy soon

I played the game last night and didn't see this new content. Does it download automatically?

Cia is the best!

I was happy with the game before the DLC, this makes it all the more enjoyable. I still need to finish the 1st adventure map, but i liked the few i tried on the new one. and Cia is awesome to use! Wizzaro...ugh...

I thoroughly enjoyed the game and ordered this DLC a couple of weeks ago. I've just got around to beating Ganon in the last map, and have a few days next week to explore the 8 bit challenge map thing and the DLC before the Bayonetta sisters turn up and force me to shelve the game until next year. Saying that, I think being a game you can go back (like MK8 and Smash), will serve me well.

so is it the same adventure map with new objectives or a brand new over world? maybe there will be different maps in future dlc

@Gerbwmu Fire Emblem Warriors? Here, take my money!

@Ouromighave why are you spamming threads? how are mods not deleting you? is it okay to spam here on NL?

@AlexOlney That was my decision to make as well. I went with Hyrule Warriors because I have a feeling if I got the 3DS Smash, I wouldn't touch it again after the Wii U version came out.

@rjejr Yeah, I def. feel your pain with the item selection. Though, personally I'd rather give up the Boomerang and then they could use another one of the items to help you deal with Manhandla.

It shouldn't be this way (but you do what you have to given your options) and I've mastered the art of reaching my right hand over to the d-pad to swap items while still keeping my character in constant motion with the left thumb stick. This is using the pro controller mind you, as it's my preferred.

I also wish they would've done more with info display options on the Gamepad. Seriously, I'd much prefer having a larger map displayed on it or like the ability to toggle between enemies and allies on it.

The apothecary isn't so much an issue to me as when you go and select which mixture to craft it lists every material you have in stock.

I just wish you could hold more than 10 of each weapon type in your inventory, granted this is probably to force you to strategically keep the more slotted, rarer skilled, and higher starred ones, but, sometimes you just want to keep all of them and can't.

Oh, and why can't you just sell a weapon at any time instead of having to wait until you've reached the 10 max? Oy.

These are all small niggling issues for me, but I still love this game to death. Hopefully some of these things will be fixed in future updates.

Everyone just needs to buy this game!

Looks like I'll be picking this up sometime in the new year after all.
Getting all the DLC with the game is nice.
Then again, if the sales pass 1 million, I'll get the game sooner and start my push to get Fatal Frame V imported.
Unfortunately, due to a new Ys game (no word on import status) I'll be getting most indies on PS4 or Vita and Nintendo will lose most of my business.
It might not come out until 2016 here, but it's more anticipated than everything but Zelda and Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Considering that games like Bloodborne and Uncharted 4 will be out and cheaper by that time, the PS4 looks like a smart purchase, even if not for another year or so.

I have never played dynasty warriors before but I have really taken a liking to HW. Love Zelda music mixed with metal. Team ninja did a killer job on the game. Its great they gave it a more adult feel and look. Especially the ladies. lol

I'm really enjoying the Master Quest DLC! It has a lot more content than I was expecting, too. And I'm loving Epona as a weapon!

Epona is fun to use, but Cia takes the cake as a new character/weapon. I know she was free, but she, Wizzro, and Volga were clearly meant to be used with the new DLC.

Question - new DLC has 5 new levels, I played the first 2, Cia and Wizzro, but now I can't find the rest, probably b/c I'm not far enough along in Legend (which I finished and then erroneously had my save point over-written trying to make a back-up copy on my external HDD, long story).

Anyway, anybody know what it takes to get the other 3 to show up?

@SahashraLA
The PS4 might be a good purchase in a year or two but right now it's pretty lackluster and really seems to be selling on the greatness awaits hype. If it wasn't for DCUO and Netflix ours probably wouldn't be used much until next June. The one cool thing right now is the speed of the console, applications open really quickly (which is why it's being used for Netflix).

Meanwhile the Wii U is on a run of great games. I'm still playing through Hyrule Warriors and have Bayonetta 2, Smash Bros, Captain Toad all coming this year.

@rjejr I just unlocked the third stage and it is showing up after Lake Hylia. Haven't got to the rest yet so not sure where those appear unfortunately.

Looks kinda uneasy to me to play with Epona.... too big. lol

@CaPPa That's really subjective, I own both PS4 & Wii U and they are both great and complement each other well. If your PS4 is only playing DCUO & Netflix and you will not get anything until next June then i'd argue you have no interest in the other great games that are out and coming, this is due to your game/genre preference more than a lack of great games actually available and coming out.

@rjejr If you try to make a potion you will get a list of your items to select from when you try to complete the process. Not at home right now but can't you see inventory in the (poorly named) tutorial tab either?

Atleast Link can ride Epona in Hyrule Warriors, unlike the horse bike in Mario Kart 8.

Big surprise, this Game is f..freacking great ! ! !
Won't watch the video, don't like spoilers.
Get get the game, if you haven't already!

The game's still serving me well, so I've not gotten around to the DLC yet, and with Bayonetta just around the corner Hyrule Warriors may have to go on the back burner for a while. Fortunately, as entertaining as Smash is on the 3DS I'm by no means hooked, which means more Wii U time for me.

@Emblem - Ya know, I dont think Ive ever clicked on the tutorial tab, or a bunch of tjose other tabs, I usually just hit the 1st to, battle and confitions maybe, then go down to start. Guess I need to look around more if I keep playing.

@Pahvi @Klinny - Thanks guys, figured it was something like that, just checking to make sute it wssnt one of those you unlock it after beaten the 2nd skulltulla without taking any damage while playing with the Gamepad held sideways. After beating Legend and over half of Adventure I still hadn't unlocked Zant, Agitha, Grihaim or Ruto nor Links ball and chain gauntlets. Then my save point got deleted so Im debating starting over, lost over 30 hours.

I have all DLC purchased but have nothing but the 3 free characters, Do I have to do something to access the rest? Maybe I have to complete the first adventure mode map first?

Nevermind, apparently the update doesn't start from quick starting the game, I had to access the game from the home menu, now it is working, kind of dumb...

My afterschool video game club is really enjoying Hyrule warriors. It is a great co-op game!

I am enjoying playing hyrule warriors at home with my wife. It really helps having a co-op player for the missions because they send you all over the map with objectives. We do a rotation (I choose, you choose) for games, so this is often on my choose lists.

The DLC is awesome. She loves using Epona, and I am enjoying the dark side campaign.

this has been a real surprise for me, and i nearly didnt get it after reading some pretty shallow reviews. i have put many, many hours into it and while i bought the dlc it'll be a long time before i get to it. while i have played Dynasty Warriors games before and wasnt real impressed, this version is much more compelling. the graphics are nice and high contrast so the screen is'nt the usual mess that DW can be. And some really good and varied music and bosses. very very happy with this game. I still dont understand why the touchscreen isnt a map though. I love Midna, what a great character.
edit: i've barely touched the bayonetta demo because of this game

This game is brilliant! The DLC is also brilliant! Soon much QUALITY content!

@GN004Nadleeh
Yes the same map with just new rules wich seems mostly useless, as i've never used a shield, or an item (besides bossbattles), or a healing potion. I mean, you cant get a gold ranking if ur hit enough, so it really doesn't add anything to heal yourself. Storymode also just recycles all maps you've already played. I seem to be in a minority to find the dlc overpriced. it doesn't add any new gameplay besides 1 weapon. Just new colours.

This game keeps getting better and better! I can't wait til I get payed so I can get this DLC!

The new DLC has really fleshed out this already meaty title. I love that playing as Dark Link also makes Epona black.
The new Adventure map is great fun although I do really really hope that the subsequent Adventure mode maps do not just reuse the map from the original.

@DrunkLuigi Assuming you have already paid for the other stuff you may need to start the game from the home menu rather than the quick start one.
