Hyrule Warriors Legends will aim to prove that lightning can strike twice, with the popular Koei Tecmo spin-off making the transition from Wii U to 3DS will all DLC included, with some exclusive content also thrown in. With its Western release a little over a month away, at the time of writing, we can expect Nintendo to give it a relatively heavy marketing push.
The latest showcase trailer to be localised focuses on a familiar character wielding a Trident weapon. It's slightly strange to run around as Ganondorf slaying foes both good and evil, but that's the crazy world that this game inhabits. The footage below shows off some of that chaos.
As a little reminder of the visual changes made for the portable iteration, an old Wii U trailer featuring Ganondorf is below.
Are you excited about Hyrule Warriors Legends, or all button-tapped out from the Wii U original?

Seeing as pig Ganon wields a trident, this only makes sense.
I still just don't see the reason to get this game if I have the Wii U version. Besides some characters. I really don't think that justifies $40 maybe if this was a budget title, I'd think about buying it, but at that price... I just can't fork over that much
I feel it's a missed opportunity that he doesn't summon bats with it to attack foes. But he does spin it around and throw it, so that's nice.
I'm looking forward to this version myself. I had a blast with the original so going through it all again while on the move should be fun.
Has there been any info concerning future updates for the original title? Is there any way of getting the extra content without buying the Legends version?
I think there has been far to much criticism of this game. OK, yes, you could look at this as a cash-in, and yes it is underpowered compared to the glossy HD wii U version, but for a lot of people this will be the first time they have played the game and it is on 3DS, not known for its power.
The new 3DS version includes: all previously released DLC, features the ability to switch characters on the fly, and adds two new story chapters: one based around new character Linkle, and one featuring characters and environments from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker that serves as an epilogue. Tetra, King Daphnes and Toon Link, all from The Wind Waker, along with Skull Kid from Majora's Mask and the original character Linkle, the aforementioned girl who resembles Link, appear as new playable characters. The new characters can also be transferred to the Wii U version. The game's Adventure Mode features a new "My Fairy" system and an additional map inspired by The Wind Waker, as well as more costumes and a new Trident weapon for Ganondorf.
All of that for just £28 in the UK? I'm sold! I pre-ordered mine months ago.
Really interested in the 3DS version of the game. Still interested in the Wii U version as well, but before I take the bait I want to know if buying both will allow me to get the other DLC characters besides the ones from the original HW, which is unlikely considering that would mean less money for Nintendo. However, if the 3DS version actually does act as a season pass for the original title, that would pretty much seal the deal for me.
Looks like he pretty much just has Impa's attacks.
I have the Wii U version so there's no point in getting the 3ds version
I am soon looking forward to this superb game! Gutted my Otaku GF is playing it on her Japanese 3ds right now!
Can't wait. Will buy for the exclusive content, also its pick-up-and-playability fits the handheld scene very well

@AlexSora89 The code that comes with the 3DS version only unlocks the 5 Legends exclusive characters and the Legends exclusive Trident weapon in the Wii U version. To get the other content you have to buy the Wii U season pass.

My wife loves the game but rarely finds time to play the wii-u. She's been dying for this game for ages so she can play it on her break at work or in the car waiting for our daughter to finish dance class. Can't tell you how many times I've heard "hey when does Hyrule Warriors come out for the 3DS again?" Absolutely worth the $40. Now if Nintendo could just put out Splatoon for the 3DS she would be one very happy camper.
@Grumblevolcano
Ouch. Still, thanks for telling me
@Refurin After hearing you say that, I can honestly say I'm considering buying it now. It would be nice to have on the go. Also I would absolutely LOVE Splatoon on the 3DS. Though I know it would be sort of hard to run, and would be a huge graphical downgrade. I'd still love it
@Refurin only if wiiu owners can get 3ds ports of games so we can experience them too. Still waiting for Luigi mansion, kis icarus, fire emblem and paper mario on wiiu...
