Marin from Link's Awakening joins Hyrule Warriors

Excuse you, Marin is FAR from old and dusty. She may have been from a Game Boy game but as far as story and fun her game completely obliterates new-age Zelda games. I have no idea why they're choosing now of all times to celebrate Link's Awakening, but I'm not complaining because this is the first time in fucking YEARS that they've come anywhere near acknowledging Link's Awakening even exists.

I'll have you know pointy noses make my dick hard

I get it, I really do. The whole point of the game is to resurrect and bring together iconic characters from past titles in what passes in Nintendo hardware as HD high action crossover free-for-all. And I also acknowledge that a series such as Zelda, where the protag is literally the sole effective warrior and not every supporting character was given a fully detailed identity, at least some characters are in due to being the only ones noteworthy in their title at all and need to be given a revamp to stand on the level. It just tests some people suspension of disbelief. it's not bad or unacceptable, but it still does, because Marin wasn't known for being some for-doom-the-bell-tolls Goddess of Death. People will get used to it in time, I'm just happy others are happy. The Ashei comment was mostly facetious, she was kinda bland anyway.

Makes linkle look like a shitty rip off

With all the characters they've added I wonder what they're going to do for the inevitable sequel. Different default characters with Cia, Lana, etc as DLC? That seems dull.

The only issue I've had with Hyrule Warriors is there aren't enough maps for the fucking retarded amounts of repetition in the various Adventure modes. At least they change the enemies and objectives, sometimes lock up some keeps or throw some cuccoos in to keep it from being mind-numbing. But the lack of environmental variety sticks out. Also fuck Gerudo Desert, that place is huge and you always, always have to circumnavigate it like two or three times

They've referenced Link's Awakening tons of times. The fucking owl who wouldn't shut up, Malon and Talon from Ocarina all originated in Link's Awakening and I think there was a Wind Fish in Phantom Hourglass (never actually played it)

Fucking when.
