'Hyrule Warriors: Legends' (3DS) Season Pass Details

by Rainier on March 18, 2016 @ 2:00 p.m. PDT

As a collaboration between Nintendo and Tecmo-Koei, Hyrule Warriors features elements of both Zelda and Dynasty Warriors universes.

After Hyrule Warriors took Wii U by storm, those large-scale battles can now be taken on the go, complete with the new ability to command and switch seamlessly between up to four characters on the battlefield, play as five new characters, and enjoy two new and exclusive storylines.

Experience a sprawling story across The Legend of Zelda timeline in Legend Mode, which sees players take on hordes of enemies as they relive classic Zelda games reimagined in the style of Koei Tecmo’s long-running “Warriors” series. When a sorceress by the name of Cia rips time and space apart, Link must team up with Impa, Sheik, and The White Sorceress Lana to save Hyrule in battles inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Players will have to strategically switch between up to four characters as the tides of battle command.

Hyrule Warriors: Legends also comes with two new exclusive stories: a four-chapter epilogue based on The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and a five-chapter story based on series newcomer Linkle, a dual-crossbow-wielding Cucco farmer who believes her heirloom compass means that she’s destined for greater things. Linkle isn’t the only new addition to the series, as Toon Link, Tetra and King Daphnes from The Wind Waker, and the mischievous Skull Kid from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask also make their debut. As a special bonus for fans of the original Wii U game, all new copies of Hyrule Warriors: Legends will come with a code that allows players to download these new characters to Hyrule Warriors on Wii U.

Another addition comes in the form of My Fairy Mode. This time around, when players explore Adventure Mode there are fairies to be found, each of whom can be levelled up to bestow additional benefits in battle across all modes. By feeding them and dressing them in new costumes, players can increase their trust, change their personality traits, or strengthen their Fairy Magic. They can even be rented to friends through Local Play, allowing them to take advantage of their skills for up to 24 hours.

You can expand your adventure with downloadable content, offering new characters, weapons, Adventure Mode maps and more! Each pack of content will be available to purchase individually, and the Legends of Hyrule Pack Season Pass is also available to pre-purchase from launch, which gives you access to all of the DLC content in one purchase, plus an exclusive The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker-themed Ganondorf costume to download straight away.

In addition, some of this content will also be made available to owners of Hyrule Warriors on Wii U via a similar season pass.

Why is there a difference in content between the 3DS and Wii U Season Passes?

Where can I purchase the various Season Passes?

The Nintendo 3DS Only and Nintendo 3DS + Wii U Season Passes can only be purchased within Hyrule Warriors: Legends on Nintendo 3DS. On March 24th, Hyrule Warriors: Legends will receive an update that adds the “Add-On Content” option in the “Extras” menu that will allow players to purchase DLC and the Season Pass.

The Wii U Only Season Pass can be purchased via Nintendo eShop on Wii U or within Hyrule Warriors by pressing the + Button on the main menu to be taken to the Hyrule Warriors Nintendo eShop page. Nintendo eShop is also where customers must input the download code given with Hyrule Warriors: Legends to download the new characters into Hyrule Warriors.
