Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition - 8-Bit Weapons Confirmed


Yesterday Koei Tecmo released yet another trailer for the Definitive Edition of Hyrule Warriors in Japan and at first I didn't pay much attention to it, because there have been so many trailers for the game lately, showcasing all characters.

However, if you look close at the 2:03 mark, you can clearly see the 8-Bit Fairy. So, the 8-Bit weapons are confirmed as well. This was the last version-exclusive feature, which they haven't shown so far, and in this case it wasn't a safe bet, because the 4+ dual-elemental weapons should make those obsolete, but it's certainly nice to have absolutely everything in some form.

They could even go as far and add more of them, based on the remaining items from the original The Legend of Zelda game. Wizzro could get the 8-Bit Blue Ring for example and Tingle the 8-Bit Hearts. They could also use items from Zelda II - The Adventure of Link, e.g. the 8-Bit Hammer for Ravio or the 8-Bit Boots for Linkle.


Update, March 17th:

Koei Tecmo stated on Twitter that the 8-Bit weapons are now 4+ reskins that can be toggled via an option.
