It seems like she definitely summons statues at least for one attack, as evidenced in this photo from the article PSN linked:


Oh yeah I can't wait to pound the poo poo out of enemies with a big-rear end golem.

Has there been any word on when the preorder skins will be publicly available? I just want the TP Zelda skin. :(

The only missions I have left on the OG Adventure Map is in the top left corner of the map blocked off by Zant's Level 3 and Agitha's Level 3.

I'm just going to give up on those forever and start the Master Quest map until I can pump enough rupees into these sad shitstains they call playable characters that they break level 100 and come back to them.

I'll probably still fail though

because they suck

This looks great. I have to rush to beat the other maps and get everything in Smash Brothers quickly, so that postman Link, Dominion Rod Zelda and Twili Midna can chill together.

Do you think they'll modify Cia's mission to use Trueform Midna?

Am I the only one who gets caught up in trying to figure out the stories behind the adventure maps?

Are they alternate timelines? Retelling the tale a bit differently? In the level where Ganondorf leads Ruto and Darunia agianst, Sheik and Zelda, is this a timeline where their alignments were switched?

Or are we going by Mario rules where everyone is actually just an actor playing a part and after they’re done Cia and Lana just go out for Gyro’s?

Yes I know the answer is that they're levels to play through and nothing more but that is a boring answer.

I really don't think there's a specific story. The thing that disappointed me was the fact that the Master Quest map was basically the same fight so any change is welcome to me

Well then come over and beat them for me because both my Zant and Agitha are over Level 50 and I can't do it.

I can't get into that little corner with the two remaining weapons (I still need to do Agitha's and the gate as well); there's one level in the top row where no matter what I do, as soon as I clear the first objective, the enemy base gets wrecked, either because it gets bombarded almost instantly by Manhandla bombs or because while I'm finding the Manhandla attacks, it gets stormed by the Moblins who were waiting for the first objective to clear before they stormed the base.

When I picked up Smash at target this morning I was also able to grab a Link amiibo. They seemed to have a decent supply though I won't be surprised to see them gone within a day or two. It's hard to justify buying one if you would just use it with this game but if you're going to have a couple with some interaction it seems decent and the figure itself looks cool (though not amazing).

Zant I don't think I beat until he was around 60, combined with a 5-star weapon and Vs Skyward. My main strategy was run forward and start fighting that group directly in front of you until the Manhandla stalks appear. If they're not all in the middle two enemy keeps, reset, because you waste too much time otherwise. Once they appear, jump down, and take the left middle keep, and then the right middle keep. Cycle back up to take out Fi, and by the time you finish the circle and reach Ganondorf, he should be in critical condition and you can heal him. Help thin out his herd, and then rush the enemy base and take out Ghirahim as fast as possible. It's rough, but it worked well for me.

And oh man, that DLC has me so excited you have no idea.

EDIT: Also, for Zant's weak point smashes, either use YX or a charged Strong Spin attack (XYYYYY). If you mash Y as soon as you hit X, you can actually cancel out of the little animation and start spinning almost instantly.

I can't say it enough, just use Agitha's bug drop (YYX I think). She is the character I enjoy the least, but that move makes any mission she's in crazy easy. All the enemies get knocked around. You'll have to play a bit smarter with captains and bosses, but you can lure them into if you pay attention. Also note you can dodge cancel out of it right as it starts so you can chain them constantly.

Zant is a bit tougher. His big stomp is great for clearing keeps but really all he is good for is YY dodge YY dodge YY dodge ect. That was enough for me to beat all his stuff in the mid-50s.

drat. This has pretty much been my strategy the entire time. Didn't know about cancelling out the "go crazy" anim though. Guess I just need to level up and get faster.

Thanks for the tips.

I think amiibos are dumb as poo poo but if you're looking at them as singular pieces of DLC then you're wrong.

they're still stupid though

I read a review where some guy said that he was able to train his Mario amiibo to reflect projectiles in Smash, but that he was unable to teach it to taunt every 5 seconds. What the gently caress is the point then?

If you're only intending to use the amiibo with Hyrule Warriors, it pretty much is 15 dollars to unlock one really cool weapon.

I bought the last two Link Amiibos from my local Wal-Mart. I wouldn't have gotten one for myself if it weren't for its use in this game plus the sorta neat functionality in Smash I guess. That Wal-Mart now only has Mario, Peach, and Pikachu left, too, so I guess they're selling pretty alright so far.

Does anybody have any advice on top row, 3rd column from the left? You have to B rank it to get into that last corner of four and I am pretty sure I could play this for the rest of my life and my base would still get taken. I just can't kill everything fast enough.
