For some, the announcement of Hyrule Warriors Legends coming to the Nintendo 3DS is a great reason to relive/start the game that originated on the Wii U. However, to those needing more of an excuse, it was confirmed during Nintendo's E3 Digital Event that Hyrule Warriors Legends will come with all the DLC from the original title.
If the above incentives aren't enough, maybe the following is. In an interview with Famitsu, Hyrule Warriors Legends Producer Yosuke Hayashi spoke of even more characters from the Zelda universe being added to the fray:
I can't go into details yet, but we plan to add new character(s) [can mean one or several] other than Tetra and King of Hyrule. There are fan favorites and surprising characters in the game, so I'd be happy if you kept guessing who will join the fight while waiting for follow-up information.
Does this mean more Wind Waker characters, for example Medli? Or perhaps other forgotten staples such as Saria, Nabooru, or Vaati? Only time will tell, so let us know your thoughts of who you want as a playable character in the interim!

If they're listening to fans, it'll be groose. Personally without a new campaign for these characters, it doesn't really mean much, but I hope others are excited for it.
GROOSE! GROOSE! GROOSE!
Salvatore from Wind Waker please... "KA BOOM!" "SPLOOSH!"
My only thing is I don't want this for 3DS, will the DLC go to Wii U aswell like Smash Bros where you have a choice of owning it on 3DS or Wii U or both?
All the wiiu dlc is free in the 3ds one I think @Cloud02 because they are all on the box and in the trailer.
I hope they add femal link.
@patrat3121 I know what I'm saying is any new DLC now on 3DS will it be available for the Wii U as I don't want to buy the 3DS version
Beedle or bust !
I agree with the above posters. @NintendoLife think you could try to find out about this content being added to Wii U?
Groose wouldn't fit well into the game (like Ridley in smash) because he's an idiot, and it would be out of character to see him killing hordes of enemies. Beedle, vaati and skull kid would fit more
Does this mean that we may get more wii u ports to 3ds/ New 3ds?
If so then Nintendo is making a huge step with gaming. This makes other people that oen a 3ds and not a wii u happy. Like myself.
I'll take some revved up CD-I DLC plz!
........
I hope they add Groose, and that female version of Link from the artbook!
Lineback, vaati, skullgirl, din (oracles) and nayru (oracles) will make me very happy.
And the minish cap for link as a weapon, and last but not least deku mask weapon for young link.
The Groose is loose! Other than that, I'd like to see the Happy Mask Salesman and Ravio in.
Groose!!!!
(But only if it's for Wii U also!!!!)
Yes, the love for Groose is strong here. Dumb to see the Groosenator but no Groose.
And yes, if you want me to double dip, add more characters.
@Tsurii I would've thought the Wind Waker characters would be unlocked via those Legend mode scenarios after the main game is finished, well unless Tetra replaces Sheik in the main story as they are both Zelda disguises.
As for my hopes: Groose, Skull Kid, Saria, Nabooru and a few others.
@whodatninja You can transfer the Legends characters to the Wii U version.
Can't wait for this game! Hoping for the Happy Mask Salesman!
Can't put myself through this on 3ds, got about 70 hours in and while fun, was way too much grinding and repetition to ever get near to really completing all the dlc content.
So... the DLC from the Wii U version is all included in the 3DS one.... kind of a kick in the Teeth to Wii u owners if you ask me. Unless the Wii U owners get the 3DS characters for free... lol, what am I saying? I should know that is unlikely.
Wii U too, please.
@whodatninja Should be, you get the Wind Waker characters on Wii U if you hook up your 3DS version to the Wii U version.
Skull Kid, Groose, Ravio, Phantom Knight, Nabooro, Hero Shade, Malon, Onox, Veran, Twinrova Sisters
Unless there's some kind of cross save, I don't see me starting over. Is that too much to ask?
@Angelic_Lapras_King But I don't own a 3DS and don't intend to. I just want to buy the DLC!
@WiiLovePeace
Sploooooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That guy makes me laugh way too much, i'd love to see him dispatch monsters in the most apathetic of manners.
Maple from Oracle of Ages/Seasons would be an awesome surprise.
@MrGawain saw somewhere else that there is a extra epilogue story
Linebeck.
I hope you'll be able to somehow get the extra 3DS characters on the Wii U version without having to buy the 3DS game to receive them (as was shown in the E3 trailer).
The game's insanely massive, and it makes no sense to replay the entire thing on 3DS if you've already done it all on Wii U, especially as it takes many hundreds of hours, and the 3DS version will obviously be inferior (not just the graphics as I can live with that, but FAR less enemies on screen, which is a shame as the whole point of the game is the giant hordes of enemies).
As long as the Wii U gets it, don't really want to get the 3DS one.
Sarasalla. Just cause... You know I like Link to the Past...
Dude, I hadn't even considered, but Vaati would be a blast! As long as we're talking about his Minish Cap appearance, because a big black ball of doom doesn't seem like the best character. XD
Sensei ken,please!
Linebeck!
I still want skull kid, Darmani (although he is already a costume), osfala with the sand rod and yuga with the painting mechanic would be super sweet, Shad, Telma, Auru, Rusl, and Ashei (the resistance from twilight princess), vaati would be sweet.
Even the four sword as a weapon would be chill.
Gimme the three oracles, and you sell me on the game! However, I believe the rights to the oracles, and even Onox and Veran, lie within Capcom/Flagship, since they made the Oracle games. Not sure, though.
And I still say, they'll be made available for the Wii U game at some point in the future.
@Captain_Gonru
I was genuinely surprised Error didn't make it into the Wii U game, he'd be hilarious.
@WiiLovePeace
This guy gets it.
Toon Link!
Groose Groose Groose
I am trying to understand this, but everyone is hyped for the opportunity to repurchase a game they own roughly a year after it released just to get access to a few additional characters? This is basically Nintendo figuring out a way to get everyone to purchase the game at launch and then cheer mindlessly for the privilege of repaying for the GotY edition.
Is the Groose loose yet?
Sweet new characters! I do hope they will be for sale for WiiU though.
@Darknyht I'm sure there are people that don't own a WiiU that want to play this game. As for me I have less free time so I have to game on the go more right now. I prefer the Wiiu but since I'm never home...sigh.
Only a small amount fo vocal people care about Groose. I'm all for Malon, Medli or other characters from good games myself. (did not like Skyward Sword).
LET GROOSE LOOSE!
Also Nabooru, Ashei, Telma, Malon and please give Sheik a 'Smash Bros' style moveset along with the harp.
I understand content is needed to promote this version over the console, but i really hope eventually all that content will make its way to the console, even if its much later.
Buying the Wii U version, at least for me, is still a better choice, HD and all. This game isn't really a "portable" game to be honest. But I can see people really want their games portable. Even though you still have to buy DLC on the Wii U version it's pretty worth it IMHO. I'm not really tempted on buying Legends just because of the new characters, but let's see.
Day one buy, and female Link, please.
@ikki5 I'm pretty sure it's only the DLC characters that's going to be on the 3DS version. Everything else is Wii U exclusive.
I was thinking about getting one of the Hyrule Warriors games at some point, and this is making me want the 3DS version even more now. Still, it's best to wait until I fully know the version differences before choosing one.
@MrGawain The only person who listens to fans is Sakurai. And he isn't even on Nintendo's payroll.
@Goob
Did you read the article?
"However, to those needing more of an excuse, it was confirmed during Nintendo's E3 Digital Event that Hyrule Warriors Legends will come with all the DLC from the original title."
More 2D Love Please!
I will never be free of this game's clutches... and I'm okay with that.
@ikki5 That needs to be changed because it wasn't confirmed, rather only all DLC characters were confirmed in the Digital Event.
@Grumblevolcano
Maybe but they do make it sound like they are all included in the digital event.
"This game is a re-imagining of the Wii U game. It will include all the DLC characters from that one."
Now that could mean it will include them to buy or not but it sure does sound more like they are included in the base game.
@ikki5 That's not what I'm talking about. The Wii U DLC consists of characters, Legend Mode scenarios, Adventure maps and costumes but only the first of these (characters) have been confirmed to be ingame for the 3DS version.
I'm so hungry, I could eat an octorock.
Groose, Sonic, and Female Link are some of the ones I'm calling.
Groose is life
Going to get this game for sure
