Through all the stories and all the timelines found in the Zelda series... nobody saw this coming. Koei Tecmo and Nintendo team up to take the Dynasty Warriors formula, toss in a lot of Zelda-franchise fan service, and blend that stuff together in a funky mish-mash of Zelda lore that only the Wind Fish could dream up. That game is called Hyrule Warriors. I was admittedly hesitant on this title upon first announcement. I had no idea what the Dynasty Warriors franchise was all about. I knew I loved Zelda. It wasn't until the excellent Nintendo Direct (embedded below) which sold me on the idea. I'm seeing a lot of reviews, which started coming in today, and they seem to agree that this isn't much of a Zelda game. I have to point out, the name borrows the Warriors from Dynasty Warriors and not Zelda. This alone helps me see what Koei Tecmo and Nintendo were aiming for. This isn't going to be a Zelda main-line game nor is it striving to be. For what it's goals are, and for what Nintendo has contributed to it, I'm pretty excited myself and now there's less than 10 days remaining. The game releases on September 26th, 2014. Fun Facts1.) Sends Link and 12 other playable characters from various Zelda universes into other universes. Mixing things up! 2.) Loaded with various locales, enemies, bosses, items, and music from throughout the Legend of Zelda series. 3.) Series offers plenty of DLC options (detailed below). 4.) Tons of combos and special moves for each character. 5.) 2-player Co-Op (though I hear it's pretty hard on the Wii U processing) 6.) Unique 'Adventure Mode' taking players back into the NES' The Legend of Zelda for a mix of challenges and adventure! (at least on the map) DLC OptionsAmazon.com - Buy from here an you'll get codes for Twilight Princess Costumes Best Buy - Buy from here an you'll get codes for Skyward Sword Costumes Gamestop - Buy from here an you'll get codes for The Ocarina of Time Costumes NOTE: While the Retailer-Specific DLC is day one, shortly after release all DLC will be available for purchase from Nintendo for presumably a small fee.

@DrFinkelsteinNobody is over 50. I think 44 is my top guy, POSSIBLY 46. And man, I was DROPPING it last night. Totally crushing everything. 3-4 quests that were HAUNTING me went down like a sack of hammers. All kinds of new weapons for me (bottom left, and the square to the right of it specifically), and now I've got like 1 spot grayed out. I need another Stepladder though (because I messed up like a dummy); how long until it repopulates?? @VofEscaflowneYeah, I really don't like the Zelda one. I like Greaser Ganondorf though! So rad! @DrFinkelsteinThat Quest was freakin' BALLS. I took SO much damage over and over and over. Never had an issue with time. @VofEscaflowneAnd this one (bottom middle?) was hard as cranks, too. --Where do I go for the Master Quest stuff?? (I bought the $19.99 thing, so I should be set on DLC, no?) Do I need to complete the Adventure Mode completely first? That makes sense to me! (Speaking of which, did anyone else complete the stages equivalent to the locations of the NES Dungeons IN ORDER? I still have to do Level-8.., but only Level-8.) |

@DrFinkelsteinTake up rarer items? I don't understand. **** BUT I THINK I FIGURED SOMETHING OUT. Listen, friends.. I'd been watching the Level-7 Stepladder spot for, like, so many missions. 8 real life hours. Nothin'. So, I started experimenting. I tried filling up my card boxes up there with every other item, thinking it'd pop in. No dice. I started taking down the other Would-Be Dungeon spots to no avail. THEN..and I think this worked, because it yielded a positive result: I did the mission BELOW that spot, which would've been the one necessary to play to OPEN that spot, and voila! Ladder! Super pumped. But then I uncovered that spot and puked in my mouth. F'n hard. Level 3 Gauntlets for Link is a bag of dicks, too. VofEscaflowne said:I'm kinda surprised that the game doesn't even have a "restart mission" option. Going for the Skultulas on Aventure Mode and losing 4 hearts means that you have to either complete the mission or kill yourself which can take a while in some cases. UGH, I KNOW. I'm thinking / HOPING they're going to patch that soon. If I'm doing those Quiz Challenges, and I drop below X amount of hearts, I just let them kill me..especially if Volga is there. He'll have me dead in about 13 seconds if you just stand there. What an asshole. Any good techniques for that guy? He's got my number, big time. @VofEscaflowneThat East Coast Ruto Skulltula you have there is a bitch. I can't stand her. And Zant doesn't open himself up for a huge attack ever. What the F. ------- Questions, citizens: I haven't played Legend in a while as I've been working on Adventure, but with the DLC, I now have access to Cia's 1st Mission and "The Return of Ganondorf" which I left off at and comes naturally with the game. Which makes more sense to start with? I originally though the "natural" one, but the other one is positioned way back when, so I didn't know if the timelines ran parallel? No spoilers, please. EDIT- And judging by these pictures, just to help you know where I am; I'm well behind V and well ahead of Fink. I think I'm in last place on Legend mode though. |
