e destroyed, such as a bush.<br />
With items won from other grids,<br />
such as a candle, these can be<br />
used to unlock new items such<br />
as new weapons and characters<br />
to then be unlocked through<br />
completing the mission. There’s<br />
not as many grid spaces as last<br />
time, but there’s still a lot of missions<br />
to complete and master.<br />
A new edition is the My Fairy system.<br />
After being collected in Adventure<br />
Mode, players can have<br />
an elemental fairy with them at<br />
all times. These fairies have abilities<br />
that can be activated with<br />
the in-game magic meter, which<br />
are dependent on their ability,<br />
such as damaging enemies or<br />
healing the player. They can be<br />
dressed up with clothes or fed<br />
with food found in Adventure<br />
Mode grids, which can both influence<br />
the fairy’s stats.<br />
As the game’s gone from the Wii<br />
U to the Nintendo 3DS, there’s a<br />
bit of graphical and power stepdown.<br />
Graphics are reduced in<br />
quality, with enemy frame rates<br />
being reduced when they’re a<br />
few steps away, and the draw<br />
distance for enemies is less<br />
than it was in the Wii U version,<br />
so there’s quite a bit of pop in.<br />
While the lessened graphics are<br />
noticeable, the reduction in draw<br />
distance isn’t as much of a problem.<br />
As gameplay consists of<br />
focusing on the enemies right in<br />
front of you, there wasn’t much<br />
of a focus on far-away enemies<br />
to begin with. As long as the enemy<br />
in front is focused on, the surrounding<br />
enemies who haven’t<br />
quite loaded in yet will get hit<br />
anyway, so it’s not much of a<br />
major concern. The game sees<br />
a framerate bonus on new Nintendo<br />
3DS consoles, but it isn’t<br />
unplayable on regular Nintendo<br />
3DS consoles. 3D is enabled<br />
on new Nintendo 3DS consoles<br />
only, and suffers some framerate<br />
<strong>issue</strong>s with it on, but again, it’s<br />
nothing to not worry about; it’s<br />
still playable.<br />
Just like Hyrule Warriors, there’s<br />
planned downloadable content<br />
in the works in the form of four<br />
packs. The four packs will focus<br />
on The Legend of Zelda:<br />
The Wind Waker, The Legend<br />
of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, The<br />
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass<br />
and Spirit Tracks, and The<br />
Legend of Zelda: A Link Between<br />
Worlds. Each of the packs come<br />
with new My Fairy clothes, new<br />
adventure maps and battle scenarios,<br />
and characters. So far,<br />
Medli from The Wind Waker and<br />
Marin from Link’s Awakening<br />
have been confirmed, the former<br />
being free for all players. Purchasing<br />
the content now through<br />
the season pass also gives players<br />
instantly a costume for Ganondorf<br />
based on his appearance<br />
in The Wind Waker. If the<br />
add-on content is just as substantial<br />
as it was in Hyrule Warriors,<br />
there’s a lot to look forward<br />
to in this game’s future.<br />
Hyrule Warriors Legends isn’t a<br />
step forward or backward from<br />
Hyrule Warriors, but more of a<br />

step to the left. It brings changes<br />
to the gameplay, albeit a little<br />
haphazardly, but skimps out<br />
a little with an overall lack of<br />
power behind it. When it comes<br />
right down to it, there’s another<br />
platform this fantastic hack and<br />
slasher can survive on, and this<br />
time it can be taken anywhere<br />
you want.<br />
