Hyrule Warriors Legends (JP) is an updated port of Hyrule Warriors released on the Nintendo 3DS. It includes all the DLC content from the Wii U and adds Wind Waker stages as well as new characters, like King Daphnes and Tetra.

The game also takes elements from the portable Samurai Warriors games including the touch-screen switching mechanic.

Gameplay[]

While downgraded, the game is mostly the same as the original. The main new thing is that players can switch between their allies by tapping on their icon on the screen. The new maps rely a lot on this mechanic

New characters[]

amiibo[]

Similar to the Wii U version, the game supports amiibo. However, each of the Zelda series of amiibo gives weapons ranked 3 stars or higher specific to that character now with the Wolf Link amiibo giving weapons for both regular and Twili Midna. The rest of the amiibo unlock random materials, costumes for the fairies and such.
