Hyrule Warriors Legends Play Journal Entries Stagger Lanayru79 06/30/2016 11:46 AM *sigh* Steaming offal? I'll go get my shovel. Maintaining 100% in this game is a true testament to my devotion to all things LoZ. It lacks the two things that made the original HW juice worth the squeeze: delightful visuals and meaningful challenge. I have higher hopes for this dlc than the last, and still wallow in all the series callbacks like a pig in slop, but you can't convince me a dumpster E Yeah! e 16 r 68 D Advertisement Share this Post 1 Tweet 2 Share Embed Comment Stagger 06/30/2016 11:49 AM fire is pretty or beneficial no matter what you add to the blaze. Fortunately, I'm at a nice stopping point in Ni no Kuni. Otherwise I'd put off savagely shredding another map even more than a work weekend and a few imminent errands will delay the assault. Hate away, HWL supporters. The only argument I can see that supports the existence of this hogwash is poverty or reluctance to own a Wii U. E Yeah! e 1 D Sciz 06/30/2016 1:59 PM Notifications, maybe? At least Marin's interesting. Wind Fish! E Yeah! e 2 D Ed™ 06/30/2016 2:07 PM I'd take a dumpster fire over a Christmas tree, but that's probably just my Southern upbringing talking. I'll admit, the LA DLC has generated more interest for me than anything in HW thus far. Not enough to make me get the game, but enough that I wouldn't mind notifs if this turns into a log. I've always wanted to see the Koholint crew in 3D model form, Marin and the WindFish don't dissapoint. E Yeah! e 2 Stagger 06/30/2016 2:17 PM I will be detailing my HWL work here, yes fellows ... so um, WARNING: Unmarked spoilers will appear in the remainder of this post's comment section. Actually, there'll be an update or three to the last post I made from the WiiU version, as I'm going in reverse order from my previous HWL action, and seeing the best the new character and weapon have to offer before the drudgery begins. E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 06/30/2016 2:54 PM Yeah, the Wind Fish being a party to an attack or three is pretty stellar. It looks like a hybrid map goal. Track down Nightmare locations that are almost certainly at each dungeon, get instruments to clear the way and crack the egg. No surprise there. Bit of a Termina/Twilight map mashup functionally ... the 8-bit tune is taken from up on Koholint's late-game northern section. I approve. E Yeah! e 0 D Zachary 06/30/2016 2:55 PM Here! E Yeah! e 0 Stagger 06/30/2016 3:01 PM I only toss in the Termina Map bit due to the counter and the need for an item from a dungeon locale. The true test of these dlc maps for me is what is added in the way of new mission types. That first one was a good concept, borrowing terms from a Boss Pack deal for Ganon. It looks like the cards will be on the table in the ideas department in a hurry here. Another screen incoming for Ed's ... E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 06/30/2016 3:04 PM benefit, to show the 8-bit rendering of the early locale, which is of course Mabe. Looks and sounds right so far ... unfortunately, the 3ds does not offer a full screen look at a completed HW rendering of these overworlds, a wonderful thing to look at on the WiiU version. TP's was sideways, but it was still beautiful. Shame it didn't get the full content ... E Yeah! e 1 D Zachary 06/30/2016 3:24 PM So out of how far you've got how would you say the challenge is? Has to be something of the level cap went up. E Yeah! e 0 Stagger 06/30/2016 3:33 PM That makes three squares in br'er Zachary, not remotely far enough to answer that question ... we'll know something when I've cleared half the instruments. Granted, the second Skulltula here will be a breeze, and I could have finished in about five minutes, but it's far too early to tell. E Yeah! e 0 D Zachary 06/30/2016 3:42 PM I love linkle's boots! She's technically Sonic now! E Yeah! e 0 Stagger 06/30/2016 4:05 PM Ah, the exciting part of this yeoman's effort - new stuff! So the level 4+ weapons are multi-elemental. Nifty. Slight name change, no appearance modification outside the rainbow background ... btw Zachary, this was my fifth, and I assumed these would be tough. Enemy durability was highly ramped up, especially for just reaching the Woods of Mystery. E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 06/30/2016 4:08 PM The real titillation will come from weapon upgrades for Marin and them there Boots, of course. This stuff is always fun, even though I haven't messed w/ MyFairy since completing the original release content in an (unsuccessful) effort to curb my own power. They're always appropriate callbacks. E Yeah! e 0 D Zachary 06/30/2016 4:10 PM AWESOME WEAPON! E Yeah! e 0 Jayse 06/30/2016 4:19 PM I'd like notifications. You're going to spoil the DLC for me, but I'm not sure that I'll ever get around to playing it anyways. E Yeah! e 0 D Stagger 06/30/2016 4:22 PM You've got it Jayse. A big part of me wishes I wouldn't bother w/ it either, heh. I've got a lot of good PS stuff to play, but old Zelda references somehow still take priority. :p Like this! I missed this screen the first time ... call Ulrira! Anyway, after I wrangle this first costume I have to break to mow the lawn before the beating really begins. E Yeah! e 2 D Stagger 06/30/2016 4:34 PM Hohoho, Zant gets the first set of duds. Hard to say what the inspiration is here ... I like them, though they won't replace my standard Phantom Zant gear on the favorites list. So Medli appropriately has Ruto's material drops. Marin is likewise fitting, spilling Zelda's goods. I'll probably head up the Woods route a ways rather than snagging the first Instrument from the beach after the mowing. E Yeah! e 1 D Naruto 06/30/2016 5:04 PM Eh, why not? Comment away. E Yeah! e 0 Stagger 06/30/2016 5:35 PM Thanks for permission, Uzomaki-san. :p That's what I do. Ha! Again, LA(DX) aficionados, fill me in on the inspiration here. Toon Link is like a mushroom warrior or something. These merger preventions are an interesting mission mechanic. It's like a miniature Magic Stash Troop adventure battle w/ a nuclear option if you guess right. I've yet to see giant boss summonings though. Not too rough ... E Yeah♥ e 2 D Ed™ 06/30/2016 5:51 PM ·Spoilers Mushroom warrior is about right; Toon's clothing colors match those of Tarin in LA artwork. The mushroom cap connection should be obvious. Zant? He actually resembles ALttP Agahnim artwork with the red tunic and blue face. Of course Agahnim makes a cameo appearance in LA, though it's not his game of origin... Odd. E Yeah! e 1 Stagger 06/30/2016 6:13 PM Ah, thanks steady Ed! You'll be my source here. I've only played through LA thrice (a shame on my part, I know), and haven't seen box art since my forgotten Gameboy pea green screen copy in 1993. So for three turns, I'll start w/ a full special meter eh? Full Moon Cello, activate! It clearly appears the path along the coast is easier, but this is definitely the way to the Bottle Grotto ... E Yeah! e 1 D Stagger 06/30/2016 6:33 PM Ah, and Ed, Agahnim won't be getting an LttP dlc, so Zant's parallel role elicited such an homage here I guess. Another amendment: it's not the Enemy Merger type, but rather the Shuffling Forces I'm discussing. I've done five of the latter, but only seen the initial one of the former. Brief snack break before the Grotto and the excitement of a level 2 weapon for Marin ... E Yeah! e 2 D Ed™ 06/30/2016 6:42 PM ·Spoilers Makes sense, considering he appears in LA... The guy deserves representation, that's for sure. Considering that he and Zant play similar roles, a costume for the Usurper is appropriate. E Yeah! e 2 Naruto 06/30/2016 6:52 PM How many battles are on this map? E Yeah! e 0 Stagger 06/30/2016 7:35 PM It's a 6x14 map, so 84 Naruto. Smallish ... rectangular rather than square, so they severely condensed the longitude lines of Koholint. Generally the level 2 weapons are aesthetic upgrades, but in cases where two references of consequence for the character are available, they'd use one. They better squeeze a zoo, a gull, and a few other things onto Marin's next one. :p This is nice though.
