One could say the Switch is very good :smug: I’m still kind of shocked Rockstar hasn’t put GTAV on the Switch yet. It’s a game from the PS3/360 life time and it sells like mad on other systems still

It'd take a while to port, and I'm not sure if they'd bother if they couldn't make money off of GTAO

like you're assuming they ported the entire game over and optimized it and it still didn't run well so they said screw it, instead of the more likely scenario: capcom is half-assed and run by fools

Does Linkle ever meet Link? If she does I guess it would be a fairly sad revelation for her like WyldStyle in the Lego movie.

They did a pretty good job of recreating the Zelda series characters in Hyrule Warriors, but the original character designs are just poop.

edit: I mean original as in new as of HW, not original Zelda characters. That was badly worded.

I just spend the first 30 seconds or so seeing what the combos are like, and figuring out their unique perks (e.g. Linkle's rapid fire strong, Cia's combo-changing mode via strong attack, Sheik's various buffs.) Most characters have the same style of combos--
YX is a single-target launcher
YYX is typically a straight line ranged attack
YYYX is typically a radial AOE attack
YYYYX, I forget! Characters may get unique after that point.

Once you're in game you can also hit hero info and look at your combo list and you'll get a little blurb that explains the gimmick for your weapon set (like Linkle's crossbow ammo etc) . Don't think there's a way to do it if you're not in a battle tho

Lana, Cia, Volga, Wizzro.


Also thanks for whoever pointed out the goron massacre map. I just did a run as young Link with basically full fierce deity uptime where I got 20pk rupees in 7 minutes because I accidentally killed Lana too quick. Young Link is ridiculoua on this map

Yeah, she’s the worst of the bunch. Volga is generic, and Lana looks pretty dumb and is kind of annoying. Mainly, I just don’t understand why they exist.

DW has real history and also a thousand years of literature behind it for them to mine to make characters relevant to each other and the story. I’m not saying they always do a good job but I greatly prefer that way to the purely fictional Musou games where all they have is anime and game tropes to go off of.

Linkle's an original too and she's cool. for incredibly obvious reasons it's a derivative design, but it avoids being dull about it like a lot stuff does when going about that sort of thing.

All of the non-Zelda Hyrule Warriors characters are extremely "original character donut steel" but I feel like they kind of wrap around from being super awful to being pretty funny. They're all so over-the-top.

Never. There is a reward map scenario that explores the potential a little, but it doesn't really go anywhere.

Linkle actually has more in common with Tingle than she does Link to be honest, something exacerbated by the "Fight alongside your... twin?" mission.
