Hyrule Warriors Thoughts on HWL
- Thread starter Jirohnagi
- Start date
I beat the entirety of legend mode including the Wind Waker storyline and I gotta say that final battle against Phantom Ganon's forces was awesome and it got my blood pumping.
Now I'm working on adventure mode and I'm enjoying the challenges. Now that I'm getting father in the map it's getting pleasantly harder to maintain my streak of A ranks.
Trying to make sure the sage keeps were safe while being attacked by boss monsters simultaneously, with Cia being attacked by powerful enemy Captains while I was trying to figure out how to get at least one character over to help her, and then finally having all four characters converge on Phantom Ganon at once for one last epic stand... Holy cow that was awesome. I barely made it through that level in one piece.

finally got to endgame of the main story, and beat it. let me say that HWL is actually HARDER than the HD version. I had trouble with just about every stage after the temple of souls. got three game overs when previously I never did get one in the story mode. I love it.
Pros:
The game plays a little more like a strategy game, and the placement/directives of your heroes actually matter most of the time.
There is a ton of content for just $39.99
Cons:

Cons:
- obviously graphic quality died down
- sound effects died down
- as of now, I do not believe that you can change the music for the maps...this is a let down actually.
- and some voice clips were outright omitted (Lana comes to mind, compare her deku spear 3ds quotes to her deku spear Wii U quotes!)

Lol someone never learned the dorf shuffle ^^, but seriously i never found it harder, hell i ironically found most of it far easier than the U version only stage that actually fought back was the final stage of the WW line and that was more due to me listening to the music and not focusing.
I am kinda glad they killed off some voice clips they were downright irritating, i am also happy they cheapened out the effect with boss smashes. Use Headphones for the sound effects, if you don't go deaf god knows.
I am curious has anyone found out if theres more than one adventure map?
Yes, but you have to beat the first map to unlock the others.

I actually miss the boss-smash effects. I think the real problem is those wide camera swings are harder to pull off on a smaller screen.
Aside from the obvious graphical differences though, I am enjoying the new version. Ironically, with the new gameplay elements sprinkled all over the place, this is far more of a remake than those remasters we keep getting for the main series. XD I thought playing the legend mode would be a chore more than anything, but it's really been freshened up, and I am enjoying it.
Also, Linkle is very much not a female Link.

She's a female Ryoga.

see that's annoying because unless i am mistaken the tier 2 weapons and above are on those other maps which means we can't go up a weapon level unless we complete the whole map... kinda annoying.

I wasn't expecting much from Linkle, but she's pretty awesome.
But I've fought King Dongodongo so many times it isn't even funny. It seems every campaign included him.

Wait till you start Great Sea map. Then Helmaroc King will be there in almost every square

Really wish they hadn't cheaped out on the Summoning Gate. I thought it was a weird glitch and reinstalled the whole game. It was about halfway through that long download when I checked gamefaqs and found that was "normal".

Hey there, it's me.
I haven't played either, but I have watched the stories and I know about all the characters. As someone who hasn't played it, I really like the characters there are, and while I'm a 1000% against a female Link, I do like Linkle, as it really feels like they went out of their way to make her her own character.
I think having the game only run well on the N3DS however is total BS.

The same here. I do hate the name Linkle though. I wish they had given her another name. But besides that, she is a totally cool character. I like her a lot. She's a decent fighter and her storyline is actually cool. To replay some scenes with the main enemies and characters of those scenes. Plus Linkle totally nails it.

Speaking generally it's awesome on the adventure maps, definately more balanced out (doesn't help if you've over leveled) heh and i gotta say Helmaroc King is one of the better bosses
The Termina map has such a twisted sense of humor. I need a goron mask to unlock the square with the giant at the woodfall temple, but every square that gives a goron mask requires a goron mask to get it, except for one that is locked behind a series of squares that force me to play as characters I don't like.
