Hyrule Warriors Legends

Plenty of videos have appeared this weekend comparing Hyrule Warriors Legends to the game on Wii U. Yet another comparison has surfaced, now showing how the title runs on the original 3DS compared to the New 3DS. Unfortunately, the performance takes a bit of a hit on older systems. Check out the full video below.

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.

GameXplain put together another video comparing the two versions of Hyrule Warriors. Below, you can once again see how Hyrule Warriors Legends looks compared to the original Wii U title.

Another video has come in showing the Hyrule Warriors Legends demo in Japan (currently available via QR code). Check out some additional gameplay below.
