The Legends Character Pack, which costs £10.79 / €11.99 and will launch in summer 2016, includes Linkle, Skull Kid, Tetra, Toon Link, King Daphnes and Ganondorf’s trident weapon. This pack is not available as part of the Legends of Hyrule Pack Season Pass. Tetra, King Daphnes, Skull Kid and Ganondorf’s new trident weapon will not be available to purchase outside of this pack.
Wait, wait, wait… Did it just say that you can buy the DLC and characters separately… On the Wii U game? Ekbrjfkamabrnfkdknsne
FINALLY. I’ve been waiting for them to confirm that since forever.
-||And yet they promote nothing for the Wii U version like usual||-
Yeah, that’s kind of baffling. I’m expecting a mention in the next Nintendo Direct, at least. This is pretty big news for those who only own the Wii U version.
Hmm… Just looked it up. The DLC that the 3DS version of the game is getting is much superior to what the Wii U version will get. The Wii U version will only be getting new characters and weapons from buying the DLC packs, but the 3DS version will get that AND new Adventure Mode maps. Why the hell can the 3DS get new Adventure Mode maps that the Wii U version won’t get?!
The Wind Waker scenario maps were even running on the Wii U version as seen in multiple past Famitsu scans, including cutscenes from the 3DS-exclusive storyline.
This is just utter ignorance of most of this game’s fanbase who aren’t necessarily against playing the game on-the-go but would rather play with a… somewhat more stable frame rate and in HD. Not to mention that buyers of Legends will basically get to pay $20 less than the original, while still getting the $20 season pass for free, AND they’re getting the continued support that owner’s of the Wii U version are now getting screwed out of.
I feel like I just got scammed.
Not to mention that this whole problem is multiplied by 100 times because of the lack of allowing saves (at least character levels or Adventure Mode progress) to carry on over.
We got blatantly ripped off, no doubt about it.
It makes me question buying crossovers or Nintendo DLC down the line.
Yeah, I saw that too. Maybe they’ll include that as free DLC after E3 or something. Besides, they’re probably busy getting Zelda Wii U ready for E3 that’s probably why they didn’t annouce that the Wind Waker story is coming to Hyrule Warriors on Wii U.
Guess I’ll wait for a GOTY Edition for the NX then
Why would they make the portable version the superior version. wtf is going on.
It might end up having more content in the long run (although that much is not confirmed), but performance-wise, it’s far from becoming the superior version.
More people have the 3ds then the wii u. Better to hit where the numbers are at im guessing.
Thank God! I can get the Legends characters & weapons on my Wii U without having to buy the fucking game on 3DS! My hate for Hyrule Warriors Legends has gone down by 25%. But that’s still 75% hatred so fuck Hyrule Warriors Legends!
lol
I don’t know, my hatred is still 100%, lol. I like dlc when it’s done right and feels wanted. This just seems shady to me. They are making sure they get every single Zelda game in their dlc, even the handheld games now… It’s too much, and they have been dragging it out far too long. In a way it’s kind of running the Zelda Franchise through the mud and abusing the license. I hope they don’t do anymore Dynasty Warriors/Zelda collaborations.
This wouldn’t be so bad if this was Hyrule Warriors 2 & it was coming out 5-10 years after the original with an entirely new story instead of just being the same story but with some expansions to it. Or if this was expansion DLC to the Wii U version. But it’s not. It’s become a giant cash grab to wiggle another 40-60 bucks out of people when this shit should have been 20-30 bucks at best.

I hope they shit in our character expectations and make Anjean playable
MORE Hyrule Warriors dlc? They are going to milk every penny they can out of the Zelda franchise and its nostalgic fanbase huh? Honestly, if this is how every third party/Zelda collaboration is going to be id rather just see traditional Zelda games from now on. They have been milking Hyrule Warriors for three years now. Give it a damn rest already.
