Despite myself I’m anticipating Hyrule Warriors Legends on 3DS, and wondering who else they might add to the game besides Tetra and King of Red Lions. I decided to not only draw some characters that I think have potential, but even to come up with a weapon set and concept for them, and as a bonus a recolour to use as an alternate costume.
Crazy Tracy (Link’s Awakening). Bobber Fishing Rod -> Lure Fishing Rod -> Sinking Lure Fishing Rod (Water). She flings the rod, snagging different fish and hitting the enemy with them for different effects. Yeah I transferred fishing to her, so what? Costume: based on her appearance in Captain Rainbow.
Kaepora Gaebora (Ocarina of Time, etc). Roc’s Feather -> Sage’s Feather -> Light Spirit’s Feather (Lightning). He uses his mighty wings for wind attacks. Costume: the Light Spirit Eldin from Twilight Princess, who is also an owl.
Saria (Ocarina of Time). Fairy Ocarina -> Ocarina of Wind -> Ocarina of Time (Lightning). Works like a combination of Zelda’s Wind Waker, Sheik’s harp, and Lana’s spear to summon winds and trees. Costume: based on Fado , the previous Sage of Wind in Wind Waker.
Skull Kid (Majora’s Mask, etc). Kokiri Pipe -> Lost Pipe -> Sacred Pipe (Darkness). Skull Kid uses his pipe/flute/trumpet thing to blow darts and blasts of wind, and summon puppets. Costume: based on Majora’s Wrath/Incarnation .
Malon (Ocarina of Time, etc). Pocket Cucco -> Golden Cucco -> Pocket Ooca (Light). Malon throws her Cucco around, and is also able to summon cows, horses, and Cucco swarms. Costume: based on Anju .
Dampé (Ocarina of Time, etc). Gravedigger’s Shovel -> Ikana Shovel -> Big Poe Shovel (Darkness). The shovel is used as a hammer-like weapon and to dig up dirt and rocks, but can also summon Poes, Stalchildren, etc. Costume: his ghost form in the Adult era of Ocarina of Time.
Nabooru (Ocarina of Time). Gerudo Sabre -> Iron Knuckle Sabre -> Sabre of Spirit (Light). Nabooru is an acrobatic fighter and uses her sabre in spinning attacks and to summon sandstorms. Costume: Aveil , Nabooru’s Termina counterpart.
Twinrova (Ocarina of Time, etc). Sorceress Broom -> Linked Broom -> Icy Fire Broom (Darkness). Kotake and Koume are merged, but in their smaller crone form. Each alternate string finisher has either an ice (water element) or fire effect. Costume: based on Gwonam from the CDi title Link: The Faces of Evil. Ok, I just threw plausibility out the window, but it was just too perfect!
Maple (Oracle of Seasons/Ages). Apprentice Broom -> Potion Master’s Broom -> Ringed Broom (Lightning). Maple swings her broom, scattering rings and throwing potions that explode. Costume: based on Irene from A Link Between Worlds.
Vaati (Minish Cap, etc). Mage’s Cap -> Picori Cap -> Light Force Cap (Darkness). Vaati uses gusts of wind (lightning element) and beams of dark magic to attack, and briefly transforms into his Four Swords form for special attacks. Costume: based on Ralph from Oracle of Ages.
Ashei (Twilight Princess). Resistance Rapier -> Snowpeak Rapier -> Knight Captain’s Rapier (Light). Ashei uses her rapier more heavily than Zelda, and on some of her attack finishers Yeto jumps in out of nowhere to assist. Costume: based on Hena the fishing hole woman.
Linebeck (Phantom Hourglass). Sea Chart -> Treasure Chart -> Ghost Ship Chart (Water). Linebeck whacks his enemies with a rolled-up map, splashing water and throwing Rupees. He also orders a fire-element cannon strike from his boat in some attacks. Costume: based on the skeletal Piratian captain from Oracle of Seasons/Ages.
Staven/Byrne (Spirit Tracks). Spirit Claw -> Demon Claw -> Lokomo Claw (Darkness). Staven attacks with his huge clawed gauntlet, extending it to grab and also flinging dark energy. Costume: based on Anjean .
Groose (Skyward Sword). Poacher’s Saw -> Master Carpenter’s Saw -> Secret Seashell Saw (Fire). Groose only has one useful skill in the game, and that’s constructing the Groosenator. Consequently, although you never see him use tools his weapon is based on the traded saw from Ocarina of Time, although I picture him with a small hammer also in his off hand, and pulling out bits of timber for his combos. Needless to say, the Groosenator will also figure into it; striking enemies, flinging bombs and also flinging enemies. Costume: based on Mutoh the carpenter boss from Ocarina of Time, etc. Since Mutoh is bald, I thought it would be extra funny to remove Groose’s beloved hair!
