Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition has an event scene viewer, other tidbits and new screenshots

Koei Tecmo issued another Japanese media blast for Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition this week. A few more details that we didn’t know about previously have been shared, along with new screenshots.

First up, Koei Tecmo confirms that 17 characters are on the initial roster from going through Legend Mode. These include Link, Impa, Sheik, Lana, Zelda, Ganondorf, Darunia, Ruto, Agitha, Midna, Zant, Fi, Ghirahim, Cia, Volga, Wizzro, and Linkle. The other characters can be unlocked.

Next, a new Event Viewer is included in Gallery. Here you can re-watch event scenes that you’ve already seen before.

Another new feature is the Item Card Shop. Item cards you’ve previously obtained in Adventure Mode can be purchased with rupees.

Challenge Mode is returning in Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition. It was available in the Wii U version through an update, but it was not in the 3DS version.

Finally, Toon Link’s Sand Rod gets the highest rank 4+ weapon: Dark Nice Sand Rod. Medli’s Harp also has the highest rank 4+ weapon: Water Din’s Harp. If a character didn’t have a dual elemental weapon previously, they do now. Toon Link’s sand wand mixes darkness with fire, for example.

We have some new screenshots from Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition attached below.
