Details Uncovered of Upcoming Update for Zelda Spin-Off Hyrule Warriors

Increased level cap? Oh, my....

'caps off', and I instantly felt stupid for that split second I thought you were referring to something Minish Cap...

What was the level cap anyway? I didn't play the game all that much yet.

I love the spinner, I laughed a lot using it on TP, and that level was the best one in the series (specially the boss and mid boss).

This game doesn't need leveling, and neither did Dragon's Crown.
It makes some sense in some RPG's, but in the context of LoZ, it makes none. The weapons already have levels - isn't that enough?

@gage_wolf I was on the fence as well when it was first talked about but many naysayers have even said I'm surprised at how much I actually like this game. I think most reviewers were looking for something else when playing it but most who actually get into it find it quite enjoyable.

@nomeacuerdo I agree. That boss battle is still my favorite one to date. And then I barely used the spinner outside of that dungeon and was totally bummed.

@gage_wolf If you don't play too much of too many Warriors games, and are a fan of Legend of Zelda, there's a lot of joy to be had here.
I for one was hoping to get a game one day starring Sheik, and two days later this got announced and I knew Sheik had to be a playable character. But it's much more than that.

What's the current level cap?

I am also on the fence, but all of these updates, news, characters, etc. are really pushing me over the edge. Last but not least (and please someone correct me if I am wrong) the Season Pack counts as points for Deluxe Digital Promo, and that is nearly half a coupon.

At other times, I would just buy it to piss off our gone "doctored screenshots" expert.

@gage_wolf Buy it, this is the Zelda game I never knew I NEEDED!
still looking forward to the next traditional Zelda, but this is great. I keep going back and forth with this and Baynotta right now.

Huh, i never even made a potion in the game yet. But good they keep updating it!

@sinalefa The season pass does, ineed, give 199 ddp points.

Wasn't aware of people disliking the spinner. I always enjoyed it. Didn't get used enough maybe, but most of the 3D Zelda games had that issue until Skyward Sword with its fast item switching.

I'm putting this game on my wish list.

What's the current level cap 100?

@sinalefa - Yup, just checked, 199 points. And another 119 for the MK8 DLC.

So I have a total of 338, need 162 ($16.20?) more for another $5 credit

BUT

we only have about 40 days before all those points just go poof

So don't buy the DLC just for the points, they may not matter soon. Though if it puts you over the top, I'd say go for it. Haven't played it much of late but it was still worth the $20. (Though I bought mine all w/ Target credit for an eShop card and DDP points, so it was basically free for me, just a couple of bucks for tax.)

TW really needs to get on Nintendo about extending the DDP.

Raising the cap for materials is not really necessary for me because I always immediately use them for badges. If only they made the rare drops a teensy bit less... rare. I really don't want to fight the final level over and over again in the hopes that I will get the final boss's rare drop.
I suppose raising the material cap could be handy if you want to make a lot of bronze drop potions, but yeah. The other updates sound exciting, though!

@rjejr @Tsurii897 @wayward

Thanks for the confirmation. I figured that if the MK8 DLC gave points, this one would too. Since I will dl Captain Toad, I will get the coupon no problem.

My main gripe with the game is paying $60 for it. Not for it being light on content, it is more that I am not sure if I will like the gameplay. I cannot rent games here and there is no demo.

I admit the idea of a Zelda spin off is exciting, and the part in SS where you fight an army of Bokoblins is one of my favorites. Again, maybe next week I may find a deal on this.

@sinalefa - Yeah I suppose that $60 can be an issue. I think I used $15 in Kmart credit/points (I remember the receipt being about $45) and got back another $15 that I used to buy my kids a $15 Swap-force figure they needed for free, so that was a pretty good deal. I won't pay retail w/o at least a GC and some store credit to spend. It is a really fun game though. May seem like slow motion to you after B2 but it's a fun story driven beat'em up w/ all the Zelda charm in-tact. And I don't even like the Zelda games, those are slow-mo, but I like the storybook charm.

When does this update happen?

Wait, who doesn't like the spinner? Never years of that one. It's one of the most fun items in Zelda history. The only fault is that there aren't places all over in TP to use it. Excellent dungeon and boss battle, too.

Including it in Hyrule Warriors makes just too much awesome sense.

I haven't got this yet but plan to pick it up after Christmas. I'm glad there are regular updates.

Higher level cap?! Holy Zen, does that mean we'll get even stronger enemies in future adventure maps???

@ACK I, for one, hated the spinner once I was done with the dungeon. It's extremely situational, and actually useless unless there's a grind rail nearby. I don't like these overly-specific powerups that only serve one general purpose.

boy our discs are gonna be burnt to a crisp by the time we achieve 100% competition...

I guess one of these days I will pick this up....

@Yosher
Level 99. I've been playing this with my friend and the highest level character I have is Link at lv.86.

@Angelic_Lapras_King I can't imagine even coming close to 100% ! Maxing out all of the characters? Unlocking and completing everything in the Adventure modes? Oh my goodness.

I've been selling off my weapons with EXP+ on them as soon as I cap the character they belong to. Whoops!

@Captain_Gonru - Thanks, actually picked up 2 $10 eShop cards as gifts for the boys on my first trip to Target this week. 2nd trip I picked up razor blades and a $5 GC. 3rd trip Pokemon and SSBU. I'm at Target a lot. They're down to 1 Wii Mini, I price check it occasionally to see if it gets clearanced. I'ld buy it for $48 for the heck of it.

Definitely getting HW and the season pass with Christmas money. I am too busy with Omega Ruby right now.

"Let us know how you feel about these changes to the Hylian mass murder simulator..."

applause That's well done right there.

I think its nice with how much effort they have done with this game.

Also the "barebone" game is filled to the brim with content.
100% completition was already 250 hours without any DLC etc..

I absolutely love this game. The amount of fan service and content is amazing. I never played a dynasty game before so it was a fresh experience for me. I highly recommend it, if even just for the novelty of something zelda related.

I'm considering buying a spinner for 10 bucks now, so the marketing machine is surely working...

Brilliant game!

@Legodavid18 you can also fight beast ganon in some stages in adventure mode

Level cap increase? why...

I agree with a lot of the others that have been commenting here - this game has been terrific. I've been pleasantly surprised over just how much fun it is. Awesome for local co-op as well.

When is this update coming out?

I haven't even played much of this game, really enjoyed what I have played of it.

"A controversial choice it has to be said, as many fans of the series weren't particularly inspired by the item's peculiar spinning top design"

Really?! Grinding with this item was great fun, and it let to a great boss. Great item!

@Spoony_Tech As a big fan of the Warriors Musuo games, I knew what to expect, and it's the best one I have played, even better than Dynasty Warriors 5 and expansions which I sunk thousands of hours into.
If I didn't have so many games to play I would be trying to complete this at 100% as well.

I have to be honest that I regret blindly buying the season pass before even playing the game. I had a lot of fun with it for the first 20 hours or so, playing through the legendary mode and then some of the adventure maps. But at this point, I am so tired of the game. It is so repetitive and some parts just way too difficult unless you grind for a long time to get a high enough level character (and that takes forever, especially since some modes require a certain character). While I appreciate the company putting so much content into the base game and the DLC, I'm never even going to come close to completing everything in the base game. I have no reason to even try and play through the DLC... especially now that Smash U is out.

Hyrule Warriors is underrated. Its awesome Zelda-fan service and PURE FUN. isn't that what gaming is about? reviewers can s*ck it.

@DiscoGentleman

Yeah, I'd imagine that would help to have someone locally who liked to play this game T_T. I was so disappointed when they omitted online because no local friends play Wii U. That said, I did finally break down and buy this game for myself during a 40% off deal . And I'm very pleased to see they are still adding content!

An increase in level cap, darn. The only character I have at the max level (Fyi it's lvl 99 in case anyone is still wondering) is Link. Everyone else average around 68.

I hope the new potions include a mix to increase The chances of finding materials over weapons in a battle. Still need to increase a lot of people's skills.

@Guybrush20X6
99 is the current top level

@gage_wolf Right there with you, pal!

OMG this game is the gift that keeps on giving. I'm engrossed in smash but when the spring gaming slump hits I'll be working on this.

Sooooo much free stuff even after release. Hats off to the devs
