Thanks I'll give that a go. I want to play the TP map too but I never really used Imp Midna and she's needed for the second mission.

[Hypershell]

Well, you and I are very different people, is all I can say.  My Midna is a tank.  Where I run into trouble is when Zant and Agitha are required, the latter especially since her attacks are so sluggish.  I think I had to Dojo Agitha up into the 70's (which technically makes her my third-strongest) before finally A-ranking that Dinolfos-ridden hellhole where her third Parasol was.

that twilight field demake is indeed quite amazing

Single player never really gave me a reason to play as anyone but Link (paying for it now I guess), only switching when I needed to for the story. One thing I wish Hyrule Warriors did to mimic past Dynasty Warrior titles was have a version of the main campaign for each character, yeah it might get repetitive doing some of the same stages and other characters would obviously have shorter campaigns than others but they could have easily balanced it for the character level average. *shrugs*

ZELDA Wii U GAMEPLAY (High Quality!) - Game Awards 2014 World Premiere

Hyrule looks masssssive! Also, Star Fox comes out before Zelda! EEEE! 

[Hypershell]

Epona's always the highlight of any game she appears in, but I'm not sure how I feel about the whole auto-horseback thing.  I'll keep an open mind until playing it, though, and it probably is great for combat.

Well, they sorta-kinda-almost do that in that the campaign mode has specific selectable characters and unlockables that only appear for a specific character.  Link is the obvious starter choice, sure, but 2-4 plays to a level are more or less required to get all of the hearts and Skulltulas.

YES I WAS HOPING THIS THREAD WOULD BLOW UP

OH GOD I'M SO HYPED

That map is Skyrim Sized, seriously.

[Police Girl]

I hope its a map filled with stuff and not a boring [tornado fang]ing slog to traverse like the sea in Wind waker (I like Wind Waker, just not the sailing.)

u shut ur whore mouth the sailing was great

I would rather use Twilight Princess as an example. It was totally empty with literally nothing to do and it was a boring flat grassland. Zelda U at least seems to have some environmental variation and IIRC it generates random events around the map too like we saw in the first trailer.

[Police Girl]

It just... took forever.

Nighttime was always annoying too, you know what's fun? Music, you know what's not? Having the music [tornado fang]ing go away because its dark out and it seems to always be darker for longer than it is light.

I like what they said about that though...

"Horses don't run into trees!"

[Protoman Blues]

 

So...beautiful...

[Sakura Leic]

I can now confidently say that I can call this Legend of Zelda Xenoblade Chronicles until we get the real title of the game.

"Horses don't run into trees!"

I loved that too.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Holy [parasitic bomb] it's really Zelda-rim. This is going to be awesome.

[Fxeni]

Looking pretty good, although I too also share the concern that there might not be enough to do (or if there is a lot to do, it's a lot of filler stuff). We'll see I guess.

...I'm looking forward to more news about Star Fox.

It was super calming, IMO, just watching the sea go by with only the sounds of the boat and the waves.
Had you said sailing in Phantom Hourglass was boring, then I'd agree wholeheartedly.

And on that note, say what you want about TP's field, the music was pure badass.

(seriously, though, I don't understand why people [sonic slicer] about it; the whole damn POINT is so that the game doesn't feel claustrophobic on Epona's back the way OoT did, and it's not as if TP is lacking for warp points, either)

[Amatiramisu]

Uh, Clef was talking about Wind Waker...

TP's biggest glaring issues were useless items, an empty, pointless overworld, and [acid burst]-easy bosses.

HEY GUIZE THIS BALL AND CHAIN SURE IS AWESOME, IT'S LIKE THE MOST AWESOMEST AWESOME THING EVAR RIGHT?!

....yeah......

[Amatiramisu]

....yeah......

My biggest gripe is that Hyrule Warriors shows the kind of potential items like the Ball and Chain had that were wasted in TP. I mean, holy [tornado fang]. I used that thing a shitton in the Cave of Ordeals because it was literally the one situation in the game that actually had applications for it outside of the dungeon.

[Hypershell]

Uh, Clef was talking about Wind Waker...

At what point did I claim otherwise?

[Police Girl]

So chances are if you're like me you didn't think terribly highly of the "Pre-order Bonus" costume thing Hyrule Warriors did on its US Launch (Where Amazon, Best Buy and Gamestop split the TP, SS and OoT sets amongst themselves while Club Nintendo took the Ganon set.)

Well, if you want them now they're $1 each on the eShop.

[Mirby]

very affordable
