I'm really, and I mean REALLY, loving this game. My first and really only Musou-style experience was with Dynasty Warriors Gundam, and my main issue with that game is not present with Hyrule Warriors. I don't feel like I'm doing much that is repetitive. I remember in Gundam that you had to play each character's story missions, and they were basically the same concepts, same mobile suit bosses to worry about, relatively boring environments, etc.
With Hyrule Warriors, I'm digging the nods to the Zelda franchise-- finding pieces of heart, taking down bosses when they get vulnerable with specific items, L targeting, the adventure mode, how varied levels are, etc.
I don't know much about what fellow friends can help you with-- all I know is that it's for Adventure Mode-- so I'd love help if I can get it. I know there's no online co-op, so no worries there.
