Hyrule Warriors [Name Now Final] - A Collaboration Between Nintendo and Tecmo Koei for Wii U

I'd be okay with an OC Goron.

or this guy

Update: Zelda's second weapon is officially the baton


Now, before you get made, this is cause most likely the Wind Waker itself is going to be one tier of the weapon. Whether it's the weakest, strongest, or both, has yet to be seen.
 
Zelda, what are you doing. Stop waving that fairy stick around and pick up your sword.
Seriously though, The Wind Waker is a cool item and I'm pleasantly surprised that it's getting attention in this game, especially as a weapon.
 
I really should invest in a DW game before or after this.

Good starting points:
  • Sengoku Basara (PS3/Wii, made by Capcom but similar)
  • Crossover titles (Pirate Warriors, DW: Gundam)
I mean, you can hop right into DW, but it's a little jarring, especially for a new player.

I personally highly recommend Pirate Warriors. Both 1 and 2 are perfect Warriors games with unique characters. The only downsides are no weapon choices and the small roster of PW1.

Actually this brings up a certain question. If this is weapon category is called Baton, I assume Link's default weapon is in the Sword and Shield category.

His is the "Hylian Sword and Shield", and we've seen his basic weapon already. Bring back the Razor Sword though!

Hokuto Musou is kinda
different
it's slower and meatier
with a tragically small cast (but a top tier dub)
The second one is more warriors-y but it doesn't have as much character, imo (partially because it wasn't dubbed ;__;)
has a larger cast, though
 
Really, though, the goron rep should definitely be Darmani. In the first half of his HP he's a regular goron, second half he turns into a fucking ghost and wrecks your shit with super ghost powers. Now I know he never had super ghost powers in MM because being a ghost sucked in MM but creative freedoms.

I would say that Darmani and Mikau would work both as MM reps and being the most plausible reps for the Goron and Zora races.
You could say that Princess Fishboobs could work as well, but Mikau has a weapon right there
 
I think you have to be a pretty big One Piece fan to find enjoyment out of the PW games. It's like the opposite of the Batman Arkham games where you don't have to be a fan of the comics/lore to like 'em.

Edit: BIG GORON, YAY.

Edit 2: Wow, you look low-poly as fuck.

Edit 3: Ruin crushes my dreams yet again.

I don't think so. All I did was watch the first season of the 4Kids dub (shudder), and since the story mode is literally the abridged story, you get some good introductions for everyone except Brooke.

Honestly, the gameplay is so good, and the single player adventure mode so fun, that even if you're not a OP fan it's a lot of fun. Knowing them just makes it better.

Hyrule Warriors - Power Glove Trailer

Link just did a fucking shoryuken at 0:23!​
 
That rockin' Skyward Sword theme remix though. Not as good a the Smash 4 version but still badass.
 
Dig/Sky Uppercut, stone pillars, Thunder Punch
Link confirmed for Conkeldurr

Also, if you think this isn't gonna be Link's best weapon style, you are objectively wrong and need to turn in your Zelda Fan Card.
:PUN:

Sheik has been confirmed as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors in this week’s issue of Famitsu magazine. Additionally, Darunia and Princess Ruto are playable as well. All three characters are from Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

So that's 10 characters? Isn't that more than the character select shown at E3?
 
Why am I not surprised at the Ruto thing.

should've been Mikau
 
I was about to say "Just Shiek? Laaame."
But Darunia AND Princess Ruto?
We Sages now.
I had the same reaction, I was kind of hoping that we wouldn't see sheik in favor of other underrepresented characters.

We're also getting info on two new weapons, one for Lana and one for Impa, as well as Gold Skulltula collecting. 8 pages of info, actually.

Place your bets for the weapons, folks.

I'm gonna say:
  • Kung-Fu shoes/gloves for Impa. Gives her the ability to just melee the hell outta people
  • Boomerang for Lana. Call it a hunch.
And finally, I'd be really surprised if we don't get OoT Link and Zelda and Ganondorf as the enemy.

edit: woah I saw @Crayolan on the NeoGAF forum. Is that actually you bruv?

I doubt it. I think they were less put in for their sage status and more for the fact that their race. We needed a playable Goron and Zora, so they picked arguably the most famous ones.

Gerudo and Kokiri are too human-like, IMO. They wouldn't change too much.

Besides, we have a Gerudo. Here's a hint: His last name is Dragmire.
 
There's no one in zelda with that last name, officially

Ganondorf Dragmire sounds kind of cool though. In a strange way.

Anyway, I'm curious how Darunia turns out.
