Hyrule Warriors Legends is out now in Japan, bringing mayhem and extra content to the portable. Though only Legends features new story content, it does - however - allow players to 'transfer' new characters to be playable in the Wii U version of the game - namely Linkle, Skull Kid, Tetra, Toon Link and King of Red Lions.

It's certainly a bit of added incentive, and footage is popping up online to show how these new inclusions translate into the HD version of the game. First up we have some high quality footage from NintenDaan, showing Linkle and Skull Kid in action.

Footage of the other characters is available from rips of a Famitsu live stream, but in all cases the quality is particularly low; nevertheless below is that content via Perfectly Nintendo.

Finally, as a bonus, below is the most recent Koei Tecmo video of the 3DS game (well, the New 3DS version) in action.

At the time of writing no details have been given in terms of the characters or extra content being available to purchase directly as DLC in the Wii U version. Koei Tecmo and Nintendo want us to buy the game again for 3DS, for obvious reasons.
