Talk:Hyrule Warriors Legends

DLC characters?
As far as I can tell, only Tingle appears in the group artworks. I probably only missed a couple if I missed any at all, so I would say we don't have enough evidence to say that all DLC characters will be available. Just the ones who can actually be seen. Peanutjon (talk) 18:13, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * The game will probably appear on E3, so we should just wait until the official announcement instead of speculating. 20:08, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
 * It was confirmed in Nintendos E3 Digital Event that all the DLC characters in HW will appear in Legends Ixbran (talk) 16:39, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Toon Link?
Idk what the policies are on leaks, but Toon Link was just leaked by Famitsu (apparently). Peanutjon (talk) 16:44, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Preferably we'd rather wait until there is an official reveal, not just to respect the developers but also to confirm whether it's real or not. People have faked magazine scans before. 16:53, 8 September 2015 (UTC)


 * These aren't fake, they're distributed by the people who distribute the Famitsu scans weekly, as well. Famitsu is an official a confirmation as we will get for a while. Other things added according to Famitsu: 3 new combat maps (Forsaken Fortress, Windfall and Dragon Roost), new Boss (Helmaroc), new Items (Hammer for use against Helmaroc, Golden Ocarina which functions as a warp), new enemies (Miniblins and Big Blins), something with Owl Statues and it teases that there could be more characters to be revealed. It also confirms more story content, as well as confirms the Wii U version will also get all of this. -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 19:40, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Heck, here's the scans if you don't believe me. Famitsu is not a leak, since they have Nintendo's permission to print stuff. :/ Can the info be added? -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 19:49, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * You're misinterpreting what he meant. We're well aware of the scans, and we're ready to add the information. However, we're trying to confirm whether the Famitsu magazine has been published yet or not. If not, then it's a leak.
 * We don't want to post any information that hasn't been officially released yet. If we can find evidence that the Famitsu issue in question has been published (consistent release date schedules, photographic evidence of the cover with dates, what have you), then we're all good and we can start updating. It's just a matter of policy. 20:35, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, there's actually a fairly big chance that these scans are earlier than the publication date, Famitsu almost always gets posted earlier on the internet. Sorry for the misunderstanding, it's just that when they mentioned "whether it's real or not" I assumed that they meant that the sources were untrustworthy. -- Zero-ELEC (talk) 20:57, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * I've heard reports that the pages are indeed released now, at least according to online news media covering them saying the newest issue is now out--Lego3400 (talk) 20:51, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * To be certain, at the time that that response was written, the scans didn't exist, so we just had the word of one obscure Japanese blog to go on. So it was a partial concern. Now with the scans, we're confident in them.
 * I've been searching all morning for any evidence that the magazine was released today, and I haven't found anything. I would rather we didn't add the information until we're 100% positive it's been released as intended. We did the same thing with Hyrule Warriors Legends during E3 out of respect, and we need to set an example. We only continue to exist on the good will of Nintendo, so it's the least we can do to reciprocate that by waiting until they've allowed the information to be out there.
 * If you could provide evidence that the magazine has indeed been published, we can all get to work. Until then, I'm going to continue reaching out to my contacts and try to get confirmation myself. 21:45, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Confirmed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eebrj7X6eLA ~GamingFanatic (Talk · Contribs) 21:47, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * GameXplain has been known to not to do their homework, so I don't consider them a trustworthy source. 21:57, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Update: I found a scan of the cover which sets the date as the 24th of September. It would seem this information is premature. 22:24, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Famitsu lists the release date for the September 24th release as September 10th on their website. ~GamingFanatic (Talk · Contribs) 22:36, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Here is a translation I got from Google Translate,


 * ''Today (September 10 release, 2015) Release of Weekly Famitsu September 24, No. 2015, "Super Mario Brothers" deliver the 30th anniversary featured in the large volume of 30 pages! Nintendo's new scoop featured and Square Enix overseas title professional label of "EXTREME EDGE" such as the new title featured scoop also packed! !


 * What is on that site is a news report posted on September 10th in Japan. It does not mean that the magazine came out sooner. In fact, it states otherwise. 22:45, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * The very last paragraph. Here's the original text and a rough translation:


 * 週刊ファミ通2015年9月24日号
 * 発売日：2015年9月10日発売
 * 特別定価：440円[税込]


 * Weekly Famitsu September 24 issue, 2015
 * Release Date: September 10, 2015
 * Special Price: 440 yen [tax]


 * As it says, the release date is September 10th. That's tomorrow in much of the world right now, but it's already the 10th there. ~GamingFanatic (Talk · Contribs) 22:59, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * That's good enough for me. I'll unlock all the relevant pages. 23:35, 9 September 2015 (UTC)


 * That should be all the pages. Let us know if I missed any, and thanks, GamingFanatic. 23:39, 9 September 2015 (UTC)

New Information
Toon Link is a speedy charac ter, his attacks generate gusts of wind. His sword is also shown to be pulsing with electricity, so chances are his will be an Electric based move set. Ixbran (talk) 23:42, 9 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Two New Items:
 * Hammer: Players slam it into the ground to create shock waves to stun enemies.
 * Owl Statue + Ocarina: Passive, non attack style item. Players place an Owl Statue somewhere on the map, and then can use the ocarina to quickly teliport too it. Essentially a fast travel item for the map.
 * 3 maps based on Wind Waker Locations:
 * Windfall Island
 * Dragon Roost Island
 * Forsaken Fortress
 * New enemy Types:
 * Miniblins
 * Bigblins
 * The scans heavily imply that players can unlock the entirety of the 3DS games content on the Wii U version by synchronizing both games together, not just the characters. The chances of this being released as separate DLC is very low.


 * someone on redit is reading through the scans, we have confirmation that more characters are still unannounced. So that means more to look forward too in the future. Ixbran (talk) 02:10, 10 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Looking over the scans I noticed something interesting, they show off the cutscenes for the new story mode events screen shots, and the HD gameplay screenshots have a blue Wii U signature on them. 3DS screen shots are outlined in red. Maybe liek some sort of light conformation that we also get the story mode features by synchronizing both the 3DS and Wii U versions together, not just the characters.
