In addition to the new dual-crossbow hunter, don't forget that Tetra, Toon Link, Skull Kid, and the King of Hyrule are showing up in the title!
Nintendo revealed that Linkle, a new original character, is going to make her debut appearance in the upcoming Hyrule Warriors Legends for 3DS.
Linkle, a character concept for the original Hyrule Warriors release, is a woman who lives in a village of cuccos and favors dual-crossbows to dispatch her enemies. She also seems to favor a color scheme evocative of Link's shades of green, but in a cloak and hood as opposed to a tunic. Her special attack is a spinning kick.
In addition to the new character, Nintendo made sure to show off that Tetra, Toon Link, Skull Kid, and King of Hyrule (from Wind Waker) were also being added to the game.
When the 3DS title releases in March 25, 2016 in North America it will be paired with a free 3DS Home Menu theme for a limited time.
I agree. With those weapons, do you think she could be the start of a re-sparking of the Crossbow Training line? I can 100% see her holding down some games with that as a starting point.
I really he is of some kind relation to Tingle, based on the name.
It would be great if this is Tingle's sister. I could see some great comedic pieces where the goofy, clumsy Tingle is contrasted by the more serious, competent Linkle. All the while their father bemoans their shared obsession with fairies and the color green.At least Tingle didn't coerce her into slavery for him.
Nintendo's knack for awful hardware and software names is spreading to their game characters as well, now.They didn't named her New Link U.
The girl-Link concept always seemed odd to me. The Zelda series already has a prominent female character in Zelda so if they wanted to make a game that stared a female wouldn't it make more sense to have Zelda in the starring role? Why would you change the gender of an iconic male character when you have an iconic female character in the same series that fans have pretty much been begging to have her own game for decades?Link isn't really a character though, he's supposed to be a self insert that represents the player. Or if you go by the official timeline Link is not the same person every time rather a reincarnation or descendant. I don't see why any particular Link couldn't have been born with an XX instead of an XY.
