I'm so down with Tingle, but Young Link was like the least interesting pick they could have made. Meh, maybe he'll be cooler in action.

Yeah it's been out for a while - doesn't unlock anything unique, but gets a guaranteed rank 3, 3-5 star weapon for Zelda daily

This is a bit unhype of me, I know, but... I purchased the Twilight Princess pack (according to the eShop) and the content isn't showing up in-game. No Twilight Princess map, no Twili Midna, none of that good stuff. What gives? What did I do wrong?

This happened to me for a bit each time that new content was released and I always forget what the solution is. I think you just have to restart the game after the download.

Make sure it's installed in the download page, and make sure to start the game from the homescreen, not the quick start. It's finicky

I've gotten a few Magical Swords and a Power Gloves (it was pretty good) from Link, but it's almost always spinners and horses. Same for Zelda, I think I've gotten one baton.

I get way more swords for Link than I get anything else, I'm pretty sure it's just random.

I have gotten 1 rupee from Donkey Kong all but two times, though. I think that amiibo hates me, while Star Fox is like my best friend. he gave me 50,000 rupees yesterday, which I didn't even know was possible.

Real talk? I'd be willing to give up artistic consistency in this game if it meant we got Toon Link, Tetra, Medli, Makar, Linebeck, Ezlo, Vaati, Din, Nayru, Farore, and all sorts of other oddball Zelda characters.

Can't say I'm all that hyped for Young Link and Tingle though. :shrug:

Perhaps in the inevitable Hyrule Warriors 2, which will be easier, and have online multiplayer that runs totally smoothly, we will get all of our favorite dream characters.

This game has SS moblins standing next to TP Dark Nuts. They already threw art consistency out the window.

Maybe they'll go full Orochi, and the next time Cia or whoever opens a portal, we'll be getting a few other Nintendo characters.

Nah, that would be lame. Also a hypothetical HW2 had goddamn better have Cia and Lana in it.

And as for the difficulty thing, really all they'd need to do is get rid of the damage requirement on A ranks but make actually dying a credible threat.

Having Sterkenberg and Achilles fight alongside my East Asian warriors is pretty great. Having a Fire Emblem character or goddamn Bayonetta fight in Hyrule would be fantastic.

Also, there's no way Lana/Cia wouldn't be in it.

I got Hyrule Warriors for Christmas and have pretty much been playing this non-stop. NNID is TyrantLizard so add me so we can be Adventure Mode buddies! (Though if someone could explain how this works that would be awesome)

I'm super pumped for the Majora's Mask dlc (especially Tingle. Now just add Groose nintendo :argh:).

I'm getting a wii u pro controller in March so my husband can play co-op with me. How broken is co-op for those who have played it? We tried yesterday with a wiimote not realizing that you had to waggle the stick for regular attacks. It's not fun.

:coolfish::3::coolfish:

Network Links will pop up on your adventure mode map and you can complete those missions for better weapons and 50k rupees. Supposedly better rewards if the Link is a friend (will have little friend icon next to it).

Coop is good and I would say a pro controller is a must. The main issue I have with playing coop is that the framerate plummets on some maps and with certain characters and the game will spawn fewer enemies to compensate. Still fun though.

I wish I knew how to get rid of Network Links. Just saying you don't want to connect to the network doesn't work, as any Links you haven't beaten yet remain on the map. I have two level 99 fights that I cannot beat that have been sitting there for months now and it's really annoying because I want to fight the battles on those squares to get loot, but I can't even scratch enemies in those fights so I just lose all the time. :(

I understand why they did this. In Majora's Mask the game focused around Kid Link so they'd make Kid Link a playable character. At least he can transform into his fierce form. Since it is a limited time transform it better be insanely overpowered because I'd rather just be in fierce form 24/7.

I shouldn't complain, but Kid Link is a little disappointing to me. It just doesn't feel like the best design decision. We already have Adult Link who by definition should be stronger than Kid Link. Oh well... maybe it'll be cool.

Also, why on earth is Skull Kid NOT playable?

To the poster who wants to get rid of network links, go to the OPTIONS menu and you can turn off Network Stuff and they should not prompt you to connect to the network anymore.

If you choose to connect to the network a few times, eventually you will get new ones, or the old ones will vanish and then you can choose not to get them ever again. but they're useful for quick 50k rupes and a gold item or a nice weapon.

I think mainly they had overused the Majora Moon so much already that building a moveset entirely around it wouldn't work, because any character can use his one thing that he ever does. their alternative is to make majora himself a character, which would be really weird and probably take a long time to animate.

or perhaps they didn't want people to consider Majora and Skull Kid to be the same character by including him with the mask on. who knows

he appears in young link's special which will probably get kinda old after a while but it is what it is

i have had network links disappear regularly if i dont get to them within a couple play sessions of them appearing. not connecting might actually be screwing you here

They can give anyone and anything a moveset. The question is how much effort KT wants to actually put into something rather than either make a moveset then slap it onto Lana or see how many assets they can use from OoT and MM3ds.
