As per usual, the Hyrule Warriors Famitsu scans that were just posted yesterday have been graciously translated by Nintendo Everything user gigamario. Apparently, there is a whole lot more new info than some may think – new character info, stage details, and more!
Check out the info after the jump!
Characters:
Sheik
Toys with her enemies with ninja like movement
Uses the harp as her main weapon
Also carries knives
With the harp she can play magical melodies to assign various elemental attributes and to attack with that attribute
With the power of flame Sheik can drop flaming boulders on enemies
If you perform “unleash of magical power”, you can use the power of lightning to sweep enemies
Sheik speaks in a mysterious way that has hidden hints of the future
Sheik is addressed as a brave warrior from the Sheikah tribe; there is no word that she is Zelda
In the story, Sheik appears before Link and co. and suggests cooperation
Darunia
Has superhuman strength and handles the heavy hammer with ease
His specialty is a rolling attack
He can also summon the power of fire by hitting the ground
Princess Ruto
She uses magic to summon water, move and attack
Ruto can also unleash power that has been gathered from attacks to shoot water
She is proud but has a gentle heart
Impa
Uses halberd with a fire element
Can attack enemies with giant blades
Can also create walls of fire to pincer enemies’ movement or create dragon of flames to burn down enemies
Lana
Uses a big branch and lends the power of the Deku Tree – Uses seeds, leaves, and roots to attack
Can plant seeds into the ground
The seed will soon grow and when the transformation is complete it will unleash attacks; you can ride the Deku child
She can use the Deku Leaf from Wind Waker to blow enemies away from a large range
Locations:
Lake Hylia
When Cia twisted dimensions, lake’s surroundings were influenced with ice
Sheik and Impa encounter hostile Zelda in the water temple
Zelda also has company in the form of some monsters
Sheik aims the lens of truth towards the person who looks like Zelda and… (Famitsu doesn’t finish the sentence)
Death Mountain
Sheik and Impa walk towards Death Mountain to stop some monsters
On the way they encounter a fairy who tells them that unusual things have happened
Sheik and Impa then speed up their travel
But does that fairy shout “Hey!” with robust voice?
Faron Woods
Original stage for this game
The center piece of the forest is the Great Deku Tree which is huge and has many branches
Great Deku Tree acts as a guardian deity
People have built a village in the forest; they can take shelter in the caves of the great tree
Extra details:
Other
You can pick force shards or kill enemies to build up knockout/musou attack meter
When it is full you can unleash a powerful knockout attack which attacks enemies from a wide area
There are also items that build up a magic meter
When full, you can perform “unleash of magical power”
This effect lets you attack faster
Boomerang
You can obtain the boomerang from a treasure chest and use it as an item
If the boomerang hits an enemy, it will make it stand still for a short amount of time
You may also acquire strengthening item which transform the boomerang into the Gale Boomerang
Gale Boomerang springs forth a tornado which will make enemies float
If enemies are hit when they are midair they will take more damage than usual
Skulltulas
There are 100 Gold Skulltulas in the world
One will appear as an enemy if certain special conditions are met
If you slay one, you will get an illustration piece
You can find information about Skulltulas in the stage select screen
You will know that a Skulltula has appeared from a spider web like marker on the map which also pins down the location
Then you have limited time to find and slay it
If you are nearby, you will hear a rustling sound
In the picture, one of the Skulltulas is under some large boulder so bombs are needed to uncover it
Skulltula appearance is related to used weapon/character, at least in some cases
Weapon Bags
You can pick weapon bags from slayed enemies
Obtained weapons are random and you won’t know how good the weapon is until you clear the stage
You can also find “sealed weapons” from treasure boxes
These increase the amount of types of weapons that a character can use
Weapon Information Screen
1. Weapon name; in the picture it is a variation of Biggoron’s Sword.
2. Rarity of the weapon. More stars means rarer.
3. Attribute. There are fire, water, lightning, light and darkness. If you use attribute that enemy is weak for, the damage will increase.
4. Attack power.
5. Skill (in picture “rupee increase”).
6. Sealed skill. Needs to fill requirements to unlock. In the picture, you need to kill 3000 enemies 7. Empty slot. You can fill these in the junk shop. At maximum you may have 8 skills.
More Details on Weapons/Shopping
Junk shop is part of the shopmall
In junk shop you can compose stronger weapons by switching skills
Ex: swap a skill from a powerful weapon into your favorite weapon
There are limits on how many skills of a same skill group you can have in one weapon at once
It seems that the weapon from which the skill is swapped from will turn into materials and so it is lost
Needless to say, this is one of the biggest updates yet. New characters (ones many people really wanted), some sweet new Ocarina of Time content, plenty of tidbits on gameplay and such, and some small details that make us wonder what exactly is going on between some of these characters. Honestly, I am still waiting to see some new info relating to Ganondorf’s appearance in the game, but for now, this is more than enough.
What aboutthis new update are you most excited about? what do you think might be revealed next? Drop a comment!
