Hyrule Warriors Hopefuls, part 3! Speculation about the Hyrule Warriors Legends DLC once again got me interested in fantasising and concepting possible characters for the game, even if they don’t fit in the revealed DLC structure. I had some fun ideas for characters, their weapons, how they would work… and maybe some rather phoned in ideas too. Oh well, bite me.

The Photographer (Link’s Awakening). Antique Picto Box -> Modern Picto Box -> Deluxe Picto Box (Light). The Picto Box emits bright flashes of light, and I guess it can fire laser beams maybe. Costume: to look like Wolf Link from Twilight Princess.

Tarin (Link’s Awakening). Odd Mushroom Bag -> Magic Mushroom Bag -> Glittering Mushroom Bag (Darkness). Tarin throws mushrooms that he’s collected, which can explode into clouds of spores. Costume: Link’s Uncle from Link to the Past.

Agahnim (Link to the Past). Wizard Staff -> Sage Staff -> Staff of the Gods (Darkness). It’s your basic dark magic stuff, but he can hit things with his staff too. Throw in some bolts of lightning for good measure. Costume: Nightmare from Link’s Awakening.

Fishman (Wind Waker). Lord Jabu-Jabu Saddle -> Ocean King Saddle -> Wind Fish Saddle (Water). The Fishman rides on the back of a massive aquatic deity, not unlike Link’s Great Fairy weapon. The whales obviously have big clearing attacks with their bodies, water, etc. Costume: classic River Zora.

Ezlo (Minish Cap). Mage’s Staff -> Picori Staff -> Light Force Staff (Lightning). Ezlo transforms into his cap form momentarily to peck at enemies, and to end his combos reverts to his Minish form and summons wind and lightning spells. Costume: to look like Vaati from Minish Cap.

Pinkle (Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland). Hand-me Down Tingle Tuner -> Fairy Tingle Tuner -> Kooloo-Limpah Tingle Tuner (Fire). Causes Tingle and his brothers to swoop down quickly, and also drop bombs. Costume: the Great Fairies from Wind Waker.

Alfonzo (Spirit Tracks). Engineer Wrench -> Royal Wrench -> Lokomo Wrench (Fire). Leave it to Alfonzo. He’ll smack enemies around with his wrench, and summon trains to steamroll groups of enemies. Costume: Gonzo from Wind Waker.

Anjean (Spirit Tracks). Rail Cart -> Golden Cart -> Spirit Cart (Light). Anjean tootles around in her little Lokomo cart thing, ramming enemies and shooting off light magic. Costume: Tetra from Wind Waker.

I wanted Jolene in but she’d just be treading on Tetra and Impa’s toes. Maybe as a costume for Nabooru or Impa. I also wanted Malo here, but I just can’t imagine him doing… anything!
