Hyrule Warriors (Zelda Musou) (Zelda Dynasty Warriors) announced
- Thread starter Oni Link 666
- Start date
TWO: The dude character is clearly Rusl, here pictured with a gun, because I couldn't find a better shot of his war getup.
THREE: Ashei must be in the game. Gaze upon her majesty. Her hollow, contemptuous stare!
Actually I was thinking that the four rebels from TP would probably be a good pick to have as characters in the game, if they are going by the tons of characters route.
Oh shit.
I know I love it. Its just so great.
Musou is the word used to described KOEI's Dynasty Warriors type games. All hack and slash games developed by KOEI have musou in the title. e.g Shin Sangoku Musou (Dynasty Warriors), Sengoku Musou (Samurai Warriors), Gundam Musou (Dynasty Warriors Gundam), Musou Orochi (Warriors Orochi).
In English the word is usually translated to mean "Warriors". So when people say "Musou" games they are specifically referring to Warriors games developed by KOEI.
The word also means Unparalleled, or unrivalled, or unbeatable or something like that in Japanese. So basically Japanese titles literally translated means "Unparalleled Three Kingdoms" (Dynasty Warriors)

"The Legend of Zelda: Warriors of Hyrule" has a nice ring to it, I'd think.
As long as they don't go for anything as lame as "Dynasty Warriors: Zelda". I never liked that name for Gundam Musou and I hope they don't do such a thing again. Even the One Piece game got a halfway decent name convention.

I hope this will be a hit in Japan. Probably wont do as well in the West, but I certainly will be picking it up. I like this new take of the Zelda universe.
This thread hit 50 pages in less than 24 hours, and is still going strong. It seems that Zelda, wether people love it or hate it, still gets the masses talking about it.

Doubt it. Too hard to make out for anything concrete.

Just play one of them, that's the best explanation. It's you versus thousands of enemies. Musou is a genre; all of the Warriors games belong to it. One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2 is awesome.
I has a question. :3
In most of these games, the characters usually have conversations during the gameplay, right, kind of like Kid Icarus Uprising. There's no way Nintendo will allows Link to talk...but will there be spoken dialogue with Zelda and Ganondorf you think? I mean...you can't exactly read and fight at the same time.

That's true, this would have to be a game in which they'd kinda have to talk...Unless Aonuma goes "MAKE THEM SPEAK HYLIAN, We'll give them subtitles!"

Link and Ganon are obvious choices; Zelda is an oddball where she's sometimes a weak princess and sometimes a capable fighter (especially in Super Smash). Demise and Skull Kid would be really cool. Midna is a must; bonus points if she's riding on Wolf Link! Not so sure about a lot of the other ones though. Groose? King of Hyrule? Linebeck? That'd be pretty ridiculous.
You sort of have to read and fight at the same time in at least some of them though. One Piece: Pirate Warriors only has Japanese audio for instance. It worked well anyway imo. But yeah, that's a good point, there should probably be some audio. I wonder how they'll sort that out.

Pretty much this.
I'm assuming this is a really early footage though; things look pretty rough around the edges. I do like the idea, I just hope enemies will be a little more "involved". Never really played any of the Warriors games so I don't know if this is run-of-the-mill for the series.
I do really like Link's design, however. I'm also excited for the more playable characters.
This could definitely be cool.
Well the footage doesn't really look very impressive on it's own.
And let's be honest: none of the musou games are really good games.
Eh, it'll be a musou game with a Zelda skin.

So a great hack n slash game?
We haven't really seen enough to see if its a bad musou game, from what I have read most people are just complaining about it being one.

This will be just another highly repetitive masou game with middling reviews and possibly questionable story choices, and will be the only new Zelda game for Wii U in 2014
pls be excited

That is some astoundingly awful character design.
Again summer release so don't expect a whole lot to change from what you saw in the video.
As for the enemies, jack the game up a few notches and you should be good to go. Musou games can get plenty intense.
No, probably pretty mediocre.
The musou games are all kinda shallow, repetitive and technically dated.

Here we go again...
They've really hit it out of the park with other recent spin off musou games so my hopes are high.
Real?

This thread is almost nothing but hate for Musou...
There IS a reason they can afford to keep making them you know...
There's a crap ton of hate for the games in this thread. I always loved the games though
Yep, WO 3 is awesome.
Bought it full price on Wii U, no regret
Are we reading the same thread?

How can you not enjoy doing combos like this with 130 characters
Well I don't blame people for enjoying these games, but let's not fool ourselves into thinking they don't have the qualities I mentioned.
Maybe this game is different but if it plays like other musou games IMO the added focus on it from being a Zelda game means it's going to get panned over here.
What does Other M have to do with this?
Not a fan of the main franchise.
That said GM 1/2/3 got me to drop tons of time into them. Now that Shin GM has Zero EW means I'm picking up at leadt two more Musous.
Hell my dream game is a Musou. Dynamic Productions Musou would be soooooooo good.
If you actually read this thread 80%+ posts are about how Musou game is the worst genre ever in gaming and shouldn't exist, you know.

No, I like the Musou games because I think they are fun, but everyone I know hate them because they feel that they are repetitious, shallow and mindless button mashers. I just never seen this many people get excited over a Musou game before.
WO3 is the fucking truth, I need to snag Ultimate sometime.
I've been aware of the genre for a while, but never gotten into it. Anyone have any favorite (localized in North America) Musou games they'd recommend? Only ones I currently really know of are the DW games.

Thanks. Lol, I should have just paid more attention to the video quoted right above this post. Looks mad fun, will check it out.
Also interesting. Seems like a weird name for it, but sounds enjoyable. Thanks.
