History Characters / HyruleWarriorsDLCCharacters

* HarpOfFeminity: Wields a harp as her weapon, and is much more feminine even compared to the androgynous Sheik.

!! [[SemiDivine Earth Sage]]

!!

* MightyGlacier: Her speed is surprisingly slow (which is to say, her speed is scaled such that she moves exactly as fast as everyone else), especially when you consider that the one of the ''points'' of riding a horse into battle is to move through the field quickly. That said, she is ''ridiculously'' powerful, which more than makes up for it.

* LightningBruiser: Her combos maintain a running speed and she can instantly follow them up with a dash that instantly gets her back up to speed, allowing her mow through crows with extreme efficiency.

* MightyGlacier: Her speed is surprisingly slow, especially when you consider that the one of the ''points'' of riding a horse into battle is to move through the field quickly. That said, she is ''ridiculously'' powerful, which more than makes up for it.

* RedEyesTakeWarning: Given these alongside her darker look if chosen alongside the Dark Link skin.

ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, Link as a young boy. This Young Link in particular is the famous Hero of Time, who saved the lands of Hyrule and Termina from certain demise at the hands of Ganondorf and Majora's Mask, respectively.

A ''really'' odd 35-year old man who believes he's a fairy. He's more than a little out there and quite a bit greedy, but he's got a good heart, and is also very good at drawing maps.

* KissOfDeath: His Focus Spirit X-button finisher involves him blowing a kiss at enemies which blows them away with a flurry of hearts.

* MightyGlacier: Midna's attacks in her true form are very powerful and have enough range to make her great at crowd control, but she moves slightly slower than most characters.

* {{Badass}}: Here we have a horse who is just as effective at kicking ass (with little to no help from her rider) as a Demon Lord, a witch that can rend space and time, a master warrior, the Hero of Hyrule, and the Demon King. Never mind the fact that she can bulldoze an army.
* BeastOfBattle: She's this as it's not only Link that's dishing out damage when riding her.

* MightyGlacier: Her speed is surprisingly slow, especially when you consider that the one of the points of riding a horse into battle is to move through the field quickly. That said, she is ''ridiculously'' powerful, which more than makes up for it.

* AbnormalAmmo: Her Sky Cannon combo finisher has it firing three giant Sols at enemies. Sols are normally a source of power in the Twilight Realm.

* AdaptationalBadass: Due to her true form only appearing at the end of the game, any powers Midna might have had in this form were unknown. This game gives her the chance to cut loose and show everyone why she's the Twilight Princess.

* BadassPrincess: She is the Twilight Princess after all.

* MsFanservice: Midna's original form is this compared to her imp form due to her much more human-like appearance.

* PortalNetwork: Her Mirror acts as one, summoning among other things [[{{BFG}} a giant Sky Cannon]], [[BladeOnAStick her spear]], and [[NoodleImplements a piece of a broken bridge]].

* TheBusCameBack: The Hero of Time has not had a playable appearance since Majora's Mask.

* MagikarpPower: [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Gabranth style]]. He doesn't have long reach and his combos don't clear a great amount of foes, but he has the unique ability to channel his special gauge into his magic gauge, giving him the power to turn into his more powerful alter ego, who has the power to shoot sword beams, giving hin the range of Fire rod Link with none of the mobility issues.

* MythologyGag: Young Link's ItemGet animation is virtually identical to that of his home games. Also, his Focus Spirit activation animation is similar to his Fierce Deity transformation in [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]].

* AmusingInjuries: Some of Tingle's attacks hurt him (not in actual damage, but in animations), but he gets up with nary a scratch from say, being slammed into the ground so hard he leaves a crater or diving head-first into bombs.

* DanceBattler: Its a disco style MagicDance too.

* {{Gonk}}: Definitely not one of the more attractive characters from the Zelda games.

* PintSizedPowerhouse: He's not much taller than Young Link, despite being almost three times his age, and despite his unusual appearance is as capable of defeating armies as any other character.

* ThrowDownTheBomblet: Tingles moves are peppered with bombs among his more silly weapons.

* AttackAnimal: Like in her Imp form, she can summon wolves to attack enemies for one of her combo finishers. However, in this form, the wolf she rides on is ''[[CanisMajor massive]]'". Her victory animation has her humming her {{Leitmotif}} while a Twilit Wolf howls it.

* {{Badass}}: Here we have a horse who is just as effective with little to no help from her rider as a Demon Lord, a witch that can rend space and time, a master warrior, the Hero of Hyrule, and the Demon King. Never mind the fact that she can bulldoze an army.

* FoeTossingCharge: A minor example: any minor enemies that come in contact with her when she's moving are momentarily stunned as if being hit, although they take no damage from it. This is also what her carrot mechanic functions as: using strong attack when she's stationary or holding it after a combo finisher consumes a carrot and makes her quickly charge forward. This allows her to get up to full speed instantly while also damaging enemies and knocking them into the air where you can continue with her normal attacks, and it also breaks guards.

* ShockwaveStomp: Several of her moves involves stomping heavily into the ground.

* AttackAnimal: Like in her Imp form, she can summon wolves to attack enemies for one of her combo finishers. The one which she rides on though is [[CanisMajor massive]]. Her victory animation has her humming her {{Leitmotif}} while a Twilit Wolf howls it.

* CuteMonsterGirl: Compared to the other Twili which are lanky and alien-like in form, she's rather hot.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Again, she's the princess of a race of shadow beings and wields powerful dark magic, but again she's not evil.
* DoesNotLikeShoes: Is completely barefoot in this form just like her imp form.

* PortalNetwork: Her Mirror acts as one, summoning among other things [[{{BFG}} A giant Sky Cannon]], [[BladeOnAStick her spear]] and [[NoodleImplements a piece of a broken bridge]].

* SwissArmyTears: Her Focus Spirit Special Attack weaponizes her tears which apparently shatter reality like glass. All the enemies caught within the area of effect are damaged by it.

* VocalDissonance: Her voice is only slightly deeper than it is in her imp form and oddly unfitting for her appearance. Still a step up from the end of ''Twilight Princess'' though, where there was no difference at all.
* WeakenedByTheLight: As an enemy (Encountered occasionally in the Twilight Princess Adventure Map), Twili Midna takes extra damage from [[LightEmUp Light]]-based weapons.

* AllergicToEvil: As an enemy (Encountered occasionally in the Termina Adventure Map, Young Link takes extra damage from [[CastingAShadow Darkness]]-based weapons, despite wielding one himself.

* {{Badass}}: He is still the legendary Hero of Time after all. Taken UpToEleven when he dons the Fierce Deity Mask.

* {{BFS}}: As opposed to its original appearance, the Kokiri Sword has become a slightly-oversized two-handed sword though only in comparison to Young Link's pint sized body. The Double Helix Sword he wields when transformed as the Fierce Deity, however, is a more straight example.

* DetonationMoon: His Focus Spirit special attack basically involves Fierce Deity Link slicing in half the moon summoned by Skull Kid. To further show off the attack's power, it's the only manually triggered Focus Spirit finisher that has range compareable to the automatic finisher, when normally the manual finishers have very little range outside of their intended target.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Of ''two'' stories actually. Before joining the fray alongside his adult Reincarnation, he overthrew Ganondorf and saved Hyrule in one timeline and prevented the destruction of an parallel world by a falling moon in another timeline.

* MagikarpPower: [[VideoGame/DissidiaFinalFantasy Gabranth style]]. He doesn't have long reach and his combos don't clear a great amount of foes but he has the unique ability to channel his special gauge into his magic gauge giving him the power to turn his more powerful alter ego, who has the power to shoot sword beams giving hin the range of fire rod Link with none of the mobility issues.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: His introductory cutscene starts off giving this impression by having him swinging his sword - which is massive compared to his body - while wearing the Keaton mask. It promptly subverts it since the mask quickly falls off, and Link simply wears it askew.

* MechanicallyUnusualFighter: In his normal form, his strength and range leave a lot to be desired. When he turns into the Fierce Deity by entering Focus Spirit mode, however, he becomes much deadlier. This is why he can (and should) sacrifice his special attack gauge for magic just by pressing the strong attack button, so he can enter Focus Spirit mode earlier and stay in it as long as possible. To further help with this, he's also the only character whose magic gauge stops draining when he's performing actions that take a long time to finish, such as a Weak Point Smash, the animation for exposing Argorok's weakpoint or playing the Song Of Time to restore his magic gauge during FS.

* MyFutureSelfAndMe: If you use the Hero of Time costume on regular Link, you can get this visually. Incidentally, since Young Link is based on '' Majora's Mask'' that makes ''him'' the future self. Conversely, considering that Young Link is [[LegacyCharacter a past incarnation of the Hero]], regular Link can also be regarded as the future self.
* MysticalWhiteHair: In Fierce Deity form he has white hair.

* OlderAlterEgo: Fierce Deity Link looks like Adult Link with different armor, face paint and hair color.

* UnskilledButStrong: His swordplay is relatively-unrefined in his default form.

* AgentPeacock: Kinda this in this game due to being rather sissy and capable of beating hordes of enemies.
* AmusingInjuries: Some of Tingle's attacks hurt him (not in actual damage but in animations) but he gets up with nary a scratch from say, being slammed into the ground so hard he leaves a crater or diving head first into bombs.
* AssKicksYou: One of his attacks is to bum rush the enemy.

* CloudCuckooLander: How else would you call a man who believes he's a fairy, and attacks with balloons and kisses of death?
* CompositeCharacter: He's given the background of wanting to help his father like in Majora's Mask, but uses bombs and a Tingle Statue like in Wind Waker, with a few Rosy Rupeeland references thrown in.

* DivingKick: His giant boss weak point smash involves one, complete with a huge explosion, a ThreePointLanding and [[TwinkleInTheEye a gleaming eye]].

* HandbagOfHurt: Some of his attacks are to smack enemies around with a big sack of rupees.
* HeartBeatdown: Initiated by blowing a kiss no less.

* ImprobableWeaponUser: His moveset is every bit as weird as he is, as he attacks with balloons, by clocking the enemy with a bag of rupees, Posing with a statue of himself, and ''blowing a kiss of death that sends out a heart''.
* KissOfDeath: His Focus Spirit A-button finisher involves him blowing a kiss at enemies which blows them away with a flurry of hearts.
* LagCancel: In addition to the normal variety every character can do, his basic strong attack gives him a wispy aura that changes his next evade into quick LauncherMove, allowing him to keep juggling the enemies caught in his normal combo finishers.

* RollingAttack: More like a clumsy tumble but it damages enemies all the same.

A ''really'' odd 35-year old man who believes he's a fairy. He's more than a little out there and quite a bit greedy, but he's got a good heart, and is also very good at drawing maps.

* AirplaneArms: His running animation has him zip around with his arms outstretched.
* AgentPeacock: Kinda this in this game due to being rather sissy and capable of beating hordes of enemies.
* AmusingInjuries: Some of Tingle's attacks hurt him (not in actual damage but in animations) but he gets up with nary a scratch from say, being slammed into the ground so hard he leaves a crater or diving head first into bombs.
* AssKicksYou: One of his attacks is to bum rush the enemy.
* {{Balloonacy}}: He uses his balloons to float and to attack.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a friendly guy to be sure, but he's not afraid to throw down. As he himself says:
-->'''Tingle:''' Tingle's usually not the violent type... but he can learn!
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's a ditzy ManChild who believes he's a fairy, but he's not someone to take lightly. As he himself says:
-->'''Tingle:''' Appearances can be deceiving, but Tingle is rather tough... Whaddya mean Tingle doesn't look tough?!
* CatchPhrase: "Kooloo-Limpah!"
* CloudCuckooLander: How else would you call a man who believes he's a fairy, and attacks with balloons and kisses of death?
* CompositeCharacter: He's given the background of wanting to help his father like in Majora's Mask, but uses bombs and a Tingle Statue like in Wind Waker, with a few Rosy Rupeeland references thrown in.
* ConfusionFu: Even moreso than Zant. From popping balloons, to whacking enemies with his bag, to tripping on bombs while chasing a fairy, to blowing kisses at enemies, Tingle's moveset is guaranteed to keep enemies guessing. It's hard to tell if he's actually fighting.
* CriticalHit: At least one of his combo finishers has an alternate animation that does more damage with less wait time, such as dropping giant exploding Rupees instead of throwing a load of bombs.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: On the Moron part, it's Tingle. On the Badass part, he's [[OneManArmy a playable character in a Dynasty Warriors game]].
* DanceBattler: Its a disco style MagicDance too.
* DivingKick: His giant boss weak point smash involves one, complete with a huge explosion, a ThreePointLanding and [[TwinkleInTheEye a gleaming eye]].
* DreamworksFace: During one of his fabulous dances, he makes this face.
* FightingClown: Between his ridiculous appearance and bizarre attacks, it's hard to take him seriously. That said, he is just as capable a fighter as everyone else.
* GagNose: He has a predominant big red nose.
* {{Gonk}}: Definitely not one of the more attractive characters from the Zelda games.
* HandbagOfHurt: Some of his attacks are to smack enemies around with a big sack of rupees.
* HeartBeatdown: Initiated by blowing a kiss no less.
* HurricaneKick: He can execute a spinning attack in this manner.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: His moveset is every bit as weird as he is, as he attacks with balloons, by clocking the enemy with a bag of rupees, Posing with a statue of himself, and ''blowing a kiss of death that sends out a heart''.
* KissOfDeath: His Focus Spirit A-button finisher involves him blowing a kiss at enemies which blows them away with a flurry of hearts.

* RollingAttack: More like a clumsy tumble but it damages enemies all the same.
* ShakingTheRump: His idle animation has him shaking his booty while grooving to a tune only he can hear.

* [[JustHereForGodzilla Just Here for The Fierce Deity]]: A common reason why fans pick this version, and the developers seem to have had this in mind. With his special ability (and the right badges), it's possible to keep Link in superpowered form for virtually the entire mission.
