Skull Kid is Confirmed as a Playable Character in Hyrule Warriors Legends

I have to say Hyrule Warriors Legends is just getting better and better ^^.

Edit: According to the article at Zeldainformer Skull Kid will use a Ocarina as a weapon.
Nice .

All right! Now give me the Happy Mask Salesman.

They better make a Legends DLC pack for us Wii U owners!

As one of many who brought Hyrule Warriors and the Pass for it I'm expecting some sort of Legends add on even if pay for it I'm happy too.

@Tops

That'd be cool, but I still have doubts or Skull Kid in Smash, just because he is already an assist trophy. Same with Midna, Girahim, and Waluigi.

So skull kid is a thing? I always thought it was just Link wearing a mask from MM. We have a black messenger bag from Club Nintendo with his picture on it, and I've been telling everybody it's Link.

That statue would be by far the best amiibo ever made, currently Ganandorf.

@whodatninja
Now that there on 3ds they will forget about wii u owners and the extra +60$ we payed for on characters and modes 3ds gets for free

Damn this sucks so much, I am not getting it on 3DS for characters for the Wii U version as I will never play the 3DS one and it would just be an expensive DLC pack.

@rjejr Well they were thinking of making it into an Amiibo but it was mentioned it would've been difficult to integrate the functionality into an existing game. Also Skull kid and Link and two different people especially in Majora's mask.. If Link has any similarities to anyone it is Kafei

Come on Koei Tecmo, let me give you another $20 to get this as DLC for the Wii U version. I would actually be willing to pay the full $40 if it includes future DLC.

I just hope I can transfer my data between both games, especially considering how many levels there are in Adventure Mode and how you have to replay them just to get every hidden item.

Me if all of this new content won't be in the Wii U version:

Cool although I was hoping for Happy Mask Salesman. Can't wait to play it!

Still don't see why wii u owners should pay.... Especially since its free for a console they claim the game was never gonna exsist on.

@Randomname19 @Lady_rosalina

The original trailer at e3 said content could be unlocked from 3DS to Wii U. So you need to buy it on 3DS to get the content on Wii U.

Thats pretty fair, Koei are usually much worse with version exclusive content

@Smash_kirby "integrate the functionality into an existing game"

All they have to do is make it an 8-bit skin in Super Mario Maker, problem solved.

Well if I wasn't sold before I am now lol. Now all we need is Groose and I think I can die!

@Sanicranfast
No plans on buying a new console love... Just for extras.

@whodatninja the trailer implied you buy the 3DS version to transfer the new content over.

Koei almost never support old versions of warriors titles, so a 3DS version unlock would be the better than how they usually treat customers.

@Spoony_Tech

Asking for Groose is for me like asking for SFIII characters in SFV: a running joke. Every announcement is anything else but them.

@Lady_rosalina Agreed fully. Wii U owners whose supported this game should get all this stuff free in a update. We shouldn't have to buy the 3DS version to get this stuff.

@rjejr What I am talking about amiibo functionality in Majora's Mask 3D.

Well I guess it makes sense it's a skull kid from ocarina since the skull kid already appears as part of Young Link's move set.

Curiously, the skull kids from ocarina are also the only ones we have seen defending themselves with weapons and not magic.

@Smash_kirby ahh Well maybe they could make it like Hyrule Warriors and give you 1 rupee each time you tap it. Really, I don't think Ntineod cares all that much about functionality w/ the amiibo. Have you seen any meaningful amiibo contributions to any games? The squid in Spaltoon are all I can think of, the rest are just meh.

I'm very surprised we haven't seen any additional DLC for the Wii U version. Warriors Orochi 3, has like 3 dozen additional levels and tons of costumes. I do intend to play the harder difficulties in Hyrule a Warriors, but no way will it occupy as much time as Warriors Orochi 3 did.

Meh, I still don't know if I want it. I already have it on Wii U. I think it'll depend if I'm desperate for a 3DS game at the time.

@Tsurii So skull kid is a race of people? Well that's interesting. Now I really need to go Google it before one of my sons friends at his party calls me an idiot, thanks.

URGH holds chest You got me, partner... I'll buy your game again, you rogue!

Nice! But if you could be so kind, add Toon-Ganondorf, will ya? At least as a costume for Ganondorf! And Linebeck!

Skull Kid: brings doom in the games he appears in, and hype elsewhere.

@Randomname19 Pretty much yeah! I already bought the game and all the DLC for Wii U, I don't want to buy the game again (and a handheld I guess) just to unlock these on the Wii U version.

That would be like if Mewtwo in Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS was only available for those who owned both versions. (Which I feared it was at first)

@rjejr apparently in Ocarina of Time, Skull Kids are Kokiri kids who could never exit the Lost Woods. They're more like imps than "people".

Also they seem to lack a face (their eyes and mouths float in a ball of darkness) so they like to wear masks to compensate. In Majora's Mask (international version) the head is made of what seems to be wood, apparently because the design from OoT might seem offensive to some.

Edit: In Twilight Princess he simply looks like a generic imp. No wood skin.

For WiiU DLC PLEASE!!!

@Lady_rosalina the characters came free via update patches released the same day as the dlc. Open up hyrule warriors on your wiiu and look at the patch notes. Also they already said the 3ds won't be getting the challenge modes like fury of Gannon

@whodatninja it was for a while. I expect you'll be able to get the dlc a few months down the road.

...Thought the video was a new trailer showing the Skull Kid...TwT

Yep. I'll be getting the 3ds version as well (maybe even a bundle new 3ds and game???).

Majora's Mask is my 2nd favorite game of all time. I'm so happy to see my favorite character in the game! And here I am thinking Tingle and Young Link were the only ones picked. Does this mean we will get a Termina Field or Clock Town stage?

I'm glad I didn't bother with the Wii U version now since all my favourites are being announced for the 3DS version

It is almost certainly NOT his Ocarina of Time appearance, he was not even a real character at that point! It is also very VERY unlikely to be the Ocarina of Time Phantom Ganon. I think this will be Wind Waker's equivalent to Ghirahim and Zant. Which would also make him a new playable character!

If this is true, Skull Kid, Phantom Ganon and Linkle could be the remaining characters!

@NintendoFan64 Agreed! Nintendo did tease that he would be returning in a future Zelda game via Miiverse a long while back. Happy Mask Salesman is possibly my favorite Nintendo character of all-time, so I'd be extatic if he were playable. Another character I want, who has a similar quirky personality, is Ravio from ALBW. Why not give that game some representation? Then again we already have so many playable variations of... On second thought, I'm gonna keep it spoiler-free and not give it away for whoever has yet to beat ALBW. Oh, and I'm gonna jump on the Groose bandwagon and say I want him also.

I want to see the Happy Mask Salesman

I would be excited for it if it weren't for the fact I need a New 3DS to play with the 3D effect.

@Tops Wasnt that confrmed in the very first trailer of the game ?
If im not mistaken, the only thing unclear is, if you need to own both versions and "link" them up to get them on the WIiU, or if it will be a seperate DLC.

@faint
I was one who bought the dlc I didn't know that, I feel even worse now

@Lady_rosalina I had it day one and the adventure maps/challenges made the dlc worth it for me. It added at least 100 hours on.

I swear to god if the content in Legends isn't available as DLC in the Wii U version I'm returning it. I don't want to pay $40 extra just for exclusive characters.

@faint
Guess I'll just go to my corner ;n; lol well last time I get a tk game again :3

I won't buy a game I already own for a set of characters, no sir. Paying for them as a DLC pack, reasonably priced, is another thing entirely.

I love the game and I'm happy to have a version that's portable. I am rather hoping I can transfer progress from the Wii U version, but I somehow doubt that'll be a thing.

I'm so excited for this I went and got a new 3DS XL . , As well I'm looking forward to Tri Force Heros .

@Blast You really should learn how Koei do business then. Especting you to pay £35 for a small amount of content you wouldn't get otherwise is par for the course for KOEI. Hell, they are handling Hyrule Warriors better than the usual DW nonsense.

Please let one of his moves be making the moon fall!

@crimsontadpoles Who knows, maybe some features from the Wii U version will be exclusive, like multiplayer, Ganon mode or some of the Adventure maps, or possibly even costumes. On the other hand, maybe Legends will have its own Wind Waker themed Adventure map. Either way, I'm glad to get both versions.
