Hey Guys!
Time for a new game review, for those that know me, they know that i love the "Warriors" game series and the Zelda version would not be a exception.
I guess that in part this review can be also kind of directed to some of the content of the WiiU version since to a point its the same game.
Like its predecessor, this game features Legend Mode and its plot. However, in addition to the story shown in the original Hyrule Warriors, the game also features two new stories. Linkle's Tale, focusing on the new character Linkle and her attempts to reach Hyrule Castle and prove herself as the legendary hero, and the Saga of the Great Sea, which takes place after the original story that to me always seemed incomplete to a point even if Ganondorf had been defeated. "Cia´s story" is also included and that is one of the benefits of having this game.
The gameplay is mostly identical to the original Hyrule Warriors though it features a few key differences: during certain battles, it is possible to tap on other characters portraits on the bottom screen and switch to that character. In addition, by tapping the map on the bottom screen, player characters that the player is not currently controlling can be directed to different locations on the map, or can even target certain stronger enemies. However, if any of the player characters are defeated the battle is lost.
There are also two new items included in the game: the Ocarina and the Hammer. The Ocarina is a non-offensive item used for transportation in certain scenarios, there are Owl Statues scattered across the map that were not present in the Wii U version. By standing in front of them and pressing the attack button, warriors can activate these, allowing them to play the Ocarina to teleport to them at any time during a battle. When present, the Owl Statues are typically placed nearby locations that the player will need to return to at several points during the scenario.
Adventure mode was completly re-designed for this version because of the new characters and their weapons also a new map based on Wind waker was added to this version. All the weapons and skins that were DLC are now unlockable in the game as clothes for the fairies that you use in adventure mode.
A new game mode called My Fairy and allows players to befriend Fairies and use them in battles in Adventure Mode. These Fairies can be raised in a number of ways to grow stronger, and can learn new skills and attributes that increases their proficiency in battle. The mode also lets players customize their Fairies' appearance in costumes called Fairy Wear.
I think that Hyrule Warriors in general was a success in evolving the recipe of the "Warriors" game saga giving "RPG" elements to it. This is a very decent game for a 3ds even with the possible Framerate problems will indeed give hours of enjoyment.
Stay Cool!
