Famitsu giving out exclusive Ghirahim fairy outfit for Hyrule Warriors Legends
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
One of the new elements in Hyrule Warriors Legends is the “My Fairy” system. Fairies are like partners during the game. If you befriend one, it’ll assist you in battle through its special attributes.
In next week’s issue of Famitsu, a download code will be included for players to obtain an exclusive costume. This apparently cannot be acquired through other means. As for the costume itself, it’s based on Ghirahim. It comes with a special skill that increases fairy magic effects, so it might be useful in high difficulty stages.

[Let’s Talk] Do you want to see more of Linkle?

Let’s Talk #36: Do you want to see more of Linkle?
After Hyrule Warriors came out, we learned that the developers toyed around with an idea for a character named “Linkle”. To put it simply, she was intended to be Link’s female equivalent. Concept art of Linkle eventually made the rounds, and for the most part, she was well-received. That’s what motivated Koei Tecmo to revisit the character and include her in Hyrule Warriors Legends.
Hyrule Warriors Legends will debut in Japan next week. Players will finally be able to use the character and see how she plays. But what role does she have beyond this game? Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has already mentioned wanting to keep her in mind for future entries in the franchise.
Do you guys want to see more of her though? Would you be open to having Linkle (or something else in the spirit of her character) in a mainline Zelda? Or would you prefer for Linkle to remain only in Hyrule Warriors Legends? Regardless of how you feel, definitely let us know below!
