Talk:Costume

Also, should the "Dark" skins for captains in the Twilight Era missions, as well as the "Chieftain" model-mods for Lizalfos and Dinolfos be listed?KrytenKoro (talk) 20:34, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Wizzro Twilight costume

• File:HW Wizzro - Standard Outfit (Twilight).png

I've gotta say, I personally am very skeptical that Twilight Wizzro is mimicking the OoT Freezard. His face and eye color match the face and mouth color of the Big Poe, his robe color seems identical (albeit with teal details, and his arms seem nearly identical. Plus, I mean, it's the costume from the Twilight Princess-based map, for the guy who is a cross between a Big Poe and a Wizzro.KrytenKoro (talk) 15:27, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Its the icy blue patterns on the robe that lead me to believe that Wizzros costume is based off the OoT/MM Freezards. The Big Poes only wear grey cloaks with darker grey hemlines. Wizzro's outfit is a series of whites, ice blues, and teals. If it had been intended to be a TP Big Poe costume, then his color scheme would be more subdued, with varying greys than blues and teals.

And even if it is a "Twilight Princess" themed DLC Pack, also take into account that Impa got her Skyward Sword colors, when they easily could have gone with an Impaz recolor. Link got a Yellow outfit, which has no ties to TP what so ever. Zelda got her blue dress from A Link to The Past, when they easily could have gone with a recolor scheme based off Puppet Zelda. Also Midna's re-color easily could have been her Infected With Light Appearance from TP, but instead she just got a yellow recolor with no ties to anything. Also Volga got a recolor based off Lu Bu from the Dynasty Warriors series. So its obvious not every re-color in the TP pack is going to reference something from TP.

For the record, I don't feel like we should be presumptuous about the costumes. We don't have to specify what it's from based on a guess. User:Pakkun/sig 01:16, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

That's certainly true, it's just...when Wizzro's face is in mouth form, it matches the Big Poe's face coloration exactly, and he is the leader of the Big Poes in HW. If you ignore the one misfit of the teal details, it's dead-on.KrytenKoro (talk) 01:35, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

I agree that the resemblance is quite striking, but I personally don't feel comfortable declaring it definitively. Many of the costumes have no significant basis at all. User:Pakkun/sig 01:38, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

okeydoo. Is there any sort of Facebook account we could contact about these? Perhaps a twitter feed? I don't really keep up with the interwebs part of the fandom.KrytenKoro (talk) 03:04, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

That is actually a good idea, contacting the staff would be the ideal way to figure this out. There are links to the games official twitter and facebook on the bottom of the Hyrule Warriors page, but their both in japanese. I dont know if they have oens in english.

Past Costumes

Hey, does the OoT, TP and SS costumes for Link and Zelda will be available at some point separately or in the Hero of Hyrule bundle? Also, how do you unlock the Zora and Goron costumes. ZeLink (talk) 03:03, 20 December 2014 (UTC)

As for the DLC OOT, TP and SS costumes? ZeLink (talk) 21:57, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

The preorder costumes are now available for purchase in the e-shop. The TP set, OoT set, SS set, and Power set each being $0.99.
Ixbran (talk) 10:02, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Finally, the DLC re-color costumes (Zelda wearing her blue ALTTP dress for the TP pack or Link wearing a purple tunic for the MQ pack for example), are they unlockable? ZeLink (talk) 17:07, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

They have been, for nearly a month or two now.KrytenKoro (talk) 15:26, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

Dark Majora's Mask

Have we got any evidence that there are dark versions of these yet?KrytenKoro (talk) 15:13, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Also, when does Wizzro masquerade as Zant or Ghirahim?KrytenKoro (talk) 16:40, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

Dark and Wizzro

Do we really need to exclude all NPC costumes from this article? Aside from Tingle and Young Link, they're all definitely there and coded, as costumes, into the game.KrytenKoro (talk) 20:49, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Unless you can use them, they shouldn't be in the page. - Chuck * ^(Talk) 07:04, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

So, do we want to have an article for NPC costumes, then? It's a pervasive subtype, instead of just a mission-specific "Barrier Specialist" type thing.KrytenKoro (talk) 14:25, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Don't know what to tell you now, other than, we currently have no idea and no one is feeling up to discussing it. We'll get back to it later, we're currently very busy with other obligations on the wiki that require more of our time. Sorry. - Midoro ^{(T C)} 03:15, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

Okeydoke. Just for later reference, then, I've personally confirmed a "Dark" costume for all Warrior characters except Tingle and Young Link; a Dark Tingle costume is known to be in the original coding for the game, though.KrytenKoro (talk) 14:29, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

How to get?

Would anyone be opposed to a version of this page which organized the costumes by DLC pack, and expounded on how to acquire them?

I've whipped up a (very rough) draft here. It separates the costumes into Standard Game (comes with the basic game), Preorder DLC (costumes available as DLC at time of purchase, although given these have been made public later a different name may be required), and then by each expansion. Other than Dark Link being before the MQ costume rather than after, this also matches the in-game order. Exp templates are used for costumes that must be earned within game rather than being available at time-of-purchase. (I'm also on the fence about whether vertical centering is preferred, and whether the column headers need to be abbreviated. The columns probably also need to get fixed width at some point, and we may not the table over-column "Costumes".) Thoughts?KrytenKoro (talk) 19:13, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I really like the way it looks and the fact that it is very organised. *Thumbs up* (the only point of contention I could possibly against it is the fact that none of the other "x thing in y game" pages have how to obtain them, however this isn't so much a fault of your design but with the lack of Hyrule Warriors contend on the wiki, since the other pages have no need for information like that since the rest of the wiki has that information).

EDIT I forgot to sign. Darn it. Zero-ELEC (talk) 05:28, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I've updated the draft with the remaining costumes -- I've temporarily shrunk the images so that the structure is easier to see without graphic overload, but they'll be brought back to 150 once I get the coding straightened out.KrytenKoro (talk) 00:29, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Also, I kind of feel like the Day 1 DLC might best be handled in a separate table, given the confusing situation with it.KrytenKoro (talk) 00:34, 13 February 2015 (UTC)

Majora's Mask's Palette Swaps

Can someone upload them? ZeLink (talk) 22:41, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Done and done hon. Though their masks, not costumes.
Ixbran (talk) 01:38, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Costume Locations

I will get screen shots of the maps and then mark all the locations where the costumes can be found, that way we will be able to show everyone were they are. Even though I've unlocked them all, they still show up as "already obtained" bronze rewards for their map squares.
Ixbran (talk) 01:38, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Map thumbnails

Seriously they are almost impossible to read. I had to squint to figure out any of them, as the whole "dark fuzzy figure on dark blue background" thing is a bad design choice. If we have to have these images, simply putting the character's name in text would be better than an image.

However, given that the game tells you where the costumes are anyway while you're playing, I don't think we need to go so in-depth. Simply using the location code defined by the official guide should be more than enough for our purposes, although since the main point is just to differentiate between "get with DLC pack" and "get from mission scenario", it might even be simpler just to rephrase the tags to "Complete appropriate Twilight Map scenario.", etc.KrytenKoro (talk) 16:58, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Costumes table

Okay, so, now that the wiki is finally functional so I can post this.

I'm going to be completely honest here about something. The new tables and arrangement of the costumes, just looks awful and incredibly messy. The rest of the staff also thinks this as well. I don't know which talk page exactly this was decided on, but as far as I know, nobody agreed on making such a drastic change to this page. And because that decision was made off of this talk page, where it should have been discussed in the first place, then this makes it all the more harder. I'm sorry, but I honestly prefer how the page was arranged before. This one looks messy and is not a convenient arrangement. It should be back to the way it was before, at least so maybe something better could be discussed. - Midoro ^{(T C)} 02:25, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

It was made above. Look above. I followed every directive I've been instructed to in the past, and got exactly the approval I've been told to wait for. The draft was up for a long time, and the only community members who chose to comment said it looked great.KrytenKoro (talk) 03:08, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
