It's clearly done for fun. It may be intended as a callback to a bug the game had on release where it was possible to get a character to use a weapon that was normally for someone else.

The difficulty curve is perfect up until the Twilight Adventure map. I've had to do 0 grinding up until hitting the Twilight map, but my average level of characters are 50-60 with Link being like 78 and they just aren't cutting it.

Indeed. I 100%'d the Adventure and Master Quest map without grinding, but then again, the Twilight Princess map does give you tools to grind.
I'm pretty happy with my progress, my Link is at 150 but the others are generally between 80 and 100. I was annoyed at the difficulty at first, but like Sarah said there are many missions ideal for grinding, and the map is generous with drops, it's pretty easy to build badges.
In fact, apart from the simultaneous attack missions which I loath (it's so easy to lose your progress and the technique is annoying), I'm really having fun, the missions themselves are generally well designed and challenging in a good way, provided you did the right amount of grinding. I'm having more fun than with the Master Quest map, actually.
I can't wait for kid Link and the update on Thursday so I can finally craft ideal weapons.

Sir!
I was hoping there was something to unlock. I thought it was cool seeing Zelda go ham with Link's moveset.
Hacker/modder Crediar managed to access the patch early, and he found a bunch of stuff.
Young Link only has a level 1 weapon (Kokiri Sword), but he has three weapon levels as the Fierce Deity (see here). In addition to being a transformation for Young Link, the Fierce Deity appears as a costume for regular Link (see here).
Tingle's weapon is the balloon, and you can see the variants here.

It looks like the Moon and Skull Kid appear in Young Link's moveset as previously speculated.

I stumbled upon an excel graph someone made of the leveling curve (for rupees but actual EXP is very likely to be the same):
http://i.imgur.com/88WrDN3.png
It is nice and that level 101-150 are flat (presumably 151-200 are too) but what is with that jump at 50?
Edit: The wooden shield is a reference to this little scene in Zelda TP:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UmvYsRvcVM#t=1651
Also it is curious that one of the MM map themes was uploaded in 2014. Some fans have a theory that MM pack was supposed to out before the TP one but was push back for PR reasons.

I decided to look at the data of the Hyrule Warriors update data that released in Japan.
I would assume this stuff will be spoilers for those who don't want to see it.

Oh woops didn't notice this stuff was already posted neat. Stuff otherwise

Fierce Deity Link has Sword Upgrades and is apparently a costume for Regular Link as well at least thats what the file name suggests.

And every normal character excluding DLC characters seem to wear masks in this DLC. I won't spoil that but Midna's Mask that she wears is hillarious.

Thanks for posting. I'm surprised at the Fierce Deity Link costume. Strange how they didn't mention it earlier. And three new music tracks? Interesting. I'm curious about the MM adventure map, but I haven't played in a long time and I'm probably way too underleveled for it. I'm gonna have to jump back in soon. It's just such a shame that after a while it does start to feel a little bit like a grind.

Well, we'll find out tomorrow.
There's a new enemy type in the Majora's Mask adventure map.

No.
On the one hand I enjoy Zant from a design perspective (I initially didn't like how they handled him in TP with the "reveal", but I've since softened on that position a bit), and I like how they went whole hog with his ridiculous attacks. His "grow into a giant and stomp the shit out of everything" is one of my favourite attacks in the game.
Mechanically, though, he's just not quite there for what the game asks you to do. ALL his combo enders have massive lag and none can be cancelled out of. I find myself not wanting to even use his meter because the two attacks you can do from it are just not that good (IMO The projectiles should do somewhere around double the damage and the spin should be wider range overall). His basic combos are reasonably quick, but without good enders it substantially hurts his moveset. Hell, his guard break combo is one of the awkward ones that might not even hit in some cases!
Ever since the mixture update I find myself just chugging a guard break and going nuts with the basic combo anytime there is a commander/officer to fight with him. Obviously not that interesting to play but I end up just taking damage when I try anything fancy which throws off A ranks.
He's also one of the most annoying character to fight against! Zant really doesn't have a whole lot going for him...

The 1.5 patch seems to be up in Europe.
I found this screenshot of skill removal:
Three hundred....thousand!? Curse you Omega Force!
Edit: Weirdly enough I have a glitch now where the stages in the game take over twice as long to load. I'll move the game to internal and see if it persists. While freeing space (copy W101 to external+delete from internal), I noticed the data port of my USB Y cable is rather loose (I moved it and it corrupted the copy process). Hopefully this isn't a sign of other problems with the hard drive.

Looking around, all kinds of new stuff and changes. Apparently they buffed Zant, he can dash cancel out of at least some of his combos now. Also seeing that they added a weapon skill that requires 4k kills to unlock that makes your weapon combos faster which is amazing. Tons of other stuff as well.
Yoooo EXP and Material potions, from nonexistinghero on Gamefaqs:
So mad we're probably not getting this update until next week since the DLC doesn't come out here until the 5th

Experience potion is reasonably priced and seems like a real shortcut to get all the characters up to speed. The 300k rupees to delete a skill on the other hand are a total nutbuster, seriously, that is beyond stupid and kills all my hype for playing around with smithing. :/

The Rupee potion costs 1 rupee and 75 bronze materials (great if you have 3 stacks of 999 that rarely go down like I do).
As for its effect. On a generic master quest map (as Sheik no guarding vs. Ganondorf in taking keeps) with a weapon with + rupees I got over 50,000 rupees from the stage. This makes delete skill cost not seem to be so bad.
As for Hasty; it should be pretty insane. Check out what Volga does with a focus spirit and canceling out of a combo:
http://youtu.be/vM7Szf5ci7c?t=10m26s
Then again most of that is just Volga and the OP combo cancel.
Apparently, unlike the 3k kill skills you can have two of the 4k kill skills on a weapon.
Also, others are reporting the longer loading which is really killing the patch for me (I felt the pre-patch loading times were a bit long but these are terrible)

Makes sense to be honest, imagine putting all the Legendary + One Hit Kill + Vs Dragon/Beast etc skills in a max star level 3 weapon - it'd be stupidly overpowered when using it with a level 150 character.

Those Experience potions are going to come in real handy for me. Still straggling behind on the first Adventure Map.
Speaking of which, can anyone tell me which square on the original Adventure Map would be good for grinding? Network Links are great too, I know, but I definitely want something I can do multiple times.

Damn it, Tingle!
Hey all. So I picked up this game last weekend and have been enjoying it a ton! I am thinking about getting the Majoras Mask DLC, and forgoing the others. Is that a wise choice? Does the adventure map start out easy for each iteration or will the game assume that I have played all the other adventure maps and leveled up?

So it's not just me that noticed it. The load times are massive now. Nothing had changed really, if anything they keep improving the game's stability with the updates.

What do you mean exactly?Well I'll tell you, Fierce deity Link is completely broken when you fill out his special and spirit gauge badges.
This is one of the things you can do:

Posts 2 and 3 of this thread sound pretty good (TC is asking about Ganon but advice is for Ganondorf). The Triforce Trials Adventure stage is probably best if you want silver or gold (as you can restart the level if the wrong one drops).
Fierce Deity is the magic skill for young Link and if you keep collecting MP or convert your SP into MP (C1 does this) you can keep the form going for a long time on some maps, especially rack up your KO count maps,
Same here. Makes me wonder if the US 1 week delay was because NOA refused to release it with this issue (or was it was always penciled in for February over there).
