Koei Tecmo showed a first look at these characters running on Wii U during a live stream today. We captured the relevant segment, and have that for you below.

If you’ve played Hyrule Warriors, you’re probably aware of the fact that a fairy speaks on Link’s behalf. This makes sense since he doesn’t talk in the Zelda games. But Toon Link, a new addition in Hyrule Warriors Legends, never had a fairy. The developers solved this issue with an interesting approach.

Aryll basically takes on the same role as the fairy for Toon Link. During battle, she’s able to speak for the legendary hero. This is done through the powers of the Pirate’s Charm. You can see this briefly in the video embedded below.

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.
