Capcom Confirms Monster Hunter Generations x Wind Waker Outfit as Free DLC

Cat Link. This is meowice.

It's important to note that while DLC in Monster Hunter games is indeed free, it is generally NOT easy to obtain. I still have barely any of the DLC content in MH4. And I wanted that hero's bow SO BAD. It's tough to get that content when you have to rely on random online matches to get it because none of your friends IRL play Monster Hunter.

@earthboundlink most people I play with make it easy. And if you play your part and help them it works out.

@earthboundlink That's why you join the forums here and plenty of people would help you. Sure they're random to an extent but the hunters here are really good and don't like to die often lol.

@Spoony_Tech Yeah, may have to do that for Generations. Although it's hard to schedule time to play, because I have two small children, a demanding job, and my gaming time is down to like an hour a week. I've nearly considered not getting MH4U because I don't think I'll have time to play it. But then I realize that's crazy talk. It's Monster Hunter. I have to play it.

I still managed to get to HR7 in MH4U with purely random online groups. It took a REALLY long time to get there, and I have not yet been able to get into a group that can beat the Urgent Quest that will get me into G rank. But because I was focused on ranking up, I never spent much time in the special quests that yield all the DLC goodies. And of course I try to do my part and help lower rank hunters get ahead from time to time.

I definitely hold my own as a gunner, so I don't think most folks were disappointed to have me on their team. I was just sad to have never gotten the LoZ DLC that would have fused two of my favorite franchises. So little of the DLC content is geared toward gunners, and I was really hoping to get that Hero's Bow. Probably too late now, since I will switch to MHG in a couple weeks and start over.

Now I want this game for that only. Still, I've always been interested in mh, but probably won't pick it up as I'd rather get Fire Emblem Birthright

the animal crossing one is odd.
this just takes the cake.
still pretty cool otherwise

Why would you go straight for MHG if you still haven't finished MH4U if your still hr7 you will miss alot of fun. And according to you if that's true and you don't have time what's the point in buying games even if it's MH if you leave them unfinished..

@earthboundlink i still have zero MH4 dlc and I bought it right when it came out. I am so confused how it works. Hardly win the dlc quests and when I do I still can't find out how to obtain the dlc.

this is soooo cute

@iaLgan That's a good set of questions. But I have finished most of the single player content in MH4U. I have to limit my online play, because I can't pause it, and the nature of having small children means a lot of interruptions.

I'm not a completionist, and if I decide to get literally every single thing, then I will never get another game. I want to check out the new areas, new monsters, new mechanics, etc. in MHG. You're right about the time issue, but I'll certainly never have time to play it if I don't even have it!

This is awesome news... I thought it was strange that they couldn't sort out some Zelda outfits for the west.

... 10 DAYS!! Pure hype. So excited you wouldn't believe... downloading it the moment it's available. Will pick it up physically sometime down the line - but this is a game I'm going to want on me at all times.

@Lunarsickness Winning the DLC quest gives you an item or two that you need to craft the DLC items. You will have to beat the DLC quest multiple times to get enough of the items to make a full set. Because that's just Monster Hunter.

Most of the DLC quests really need to be done as multiplayer, especially if you are a gunner like me. If you're trying them on your own, that's probably why you're losing.

Day 1 regardless but since Toon Link is my favorite iteration of the hero of time, I'm giddy.

It's so adorable. I want that outfit

Yeah. I made a lot of really good friends on MH3U Wii U that went over MH4U and to other games. Just assemble your default team that you enjoy hunting with. All that DLC stuff, and then some, will be achievable.

Aww so adorable ;w; kinda reminds me of in Wind Waker when Link pretended to be a cat to sneak up on the girl. Might need to add this to my list of games to play :3

@Tsurii It's not an excuse. The DLC quests are balanced for multiplayer (i.e. monsters have more health). Yes, you can beat any solo quest as a solo gunner (and I have), but unless you're incredible, it's exceptionally hard to beat a multiplayer HR quest as a solo gunner, because you tend to run out of time.

If you're good enough to beat multiplayer monsters as a solo gunner, hurrah for you, but don't pretend that the game is meant to be played that way.

Imagine that, free costume DLC! Take notes, Nintendo. That's how it's done!

@SpykeKat
Yea it definitely reminds me of that. You have to sneak up on a person, and if you follow them, and hide behind a structure, he "meows" whenever they turn around.

Just recently helped my sister finish Wind Waker, and that scene is definitely fresh in my mind. It was really funny!

This palico costume is awesome. Does it come with Toon Link's very own meow-sic effects?

@Tsurii I wasn't fully aware of that. Thanks for the info.

@LasermasterA I played Wind Waker recently too, the expression on Link's face is just too cute when he meows. :3

I don't know but it should do!

@earthboundlink I agree with you about the dlc balance. The quest to get Links sword is not easy at all and to allow 4 ranks to do it just spells disaster. I've been trying to solo it and finally beat it after about 20 tries and about 3 to 4 were with my son at only rank 5. It took forever to beat as well and I'm G2 and have a decent set up. Some of the other ones aren't too hard but it seems like all the ones I want are really hard.

Oh and I only got one ticket of 3 needed after winning that one and I don't feel like doing that all over again 2 more times. I'll wait till my son climbs the ranks a bit more.

They always said that Wind Waker was the game that debuted Cat-eyed Link!

Does anyone know if MHGen will have monthly DLC packs with new quests and content like in MH4U? I really enjoyed getting new content every month, kept the game fresh for a long time

Not a huge surprise, Monster Hunter 4 had a few DLC quests that were given out by 7-Eleven in Japan but ended up being a simple download for the west like the Link and Samus armor.

@SpykeKat If I remember correctly you can dress the cat as Ammy from okami, a tad oxymoronic if ya' ask me.

@Ed_Fairway Ahh I didn't even know that there was an Ammy costume, that's amazing though! ^w^ how's it an oxymoron?

@SpykeKat Oh was that a wrong choice of words? I just couldn't find the right way to describe the situation of the cat being dressed as a wolf, irony?

@Ed_Fairway Both irony & oxymorons are used for contradictary purposes. ^_^;; it's more like a surreal happening in this case.

@SpykeKat Duly noted. Kinda reminds of my experience with the game Catherine, every night the player wakes up in a tower, surrounded by anthropomorphic sheep.

@Ed_Fairway I never played Catherine. :x but it sure looks interesting.

@SpykeKat Well it is brought to us by the minds behind Persona 4; funny enough the main characters, Vincent and Catherine, are voiced by Troy Baker (Kanji) and Laura Bailey (Rise).

@earthboundlink see I actually thought I had to do the DLC quests multiple times! Thank you for confirming. Every time I get online players to help me we usually lose or they won't do the missions like the impossible delivery quests. Also, I couldn't even figure out how access the palicoe costumes such as Sonic. I downloaded every piece of DLC.
