I've never played a Dynasty Warriors game. However I played a One Piece game that was also made the the guys from Dynasty Warriors. It was pretty good, and it made you feel super powerful. I think it will fit nicely.
Its definitely an acquired taste, its reppetitive sure, so i definitely think people should know that and what musou games are like before going into this one. I get the feeling many will assume otherwise and hate on the game after, like many do with other warriors games. Its a shame but i can already see it happening
I myself love the games, they are my guilty pleasure so its all gravy since its a mixture of my favorite series with my guilty pleasure.

Anyway i definitely agreee that this is one of the best link designs ever, i so wish sakurai could have gotten these designs and impa for smash bros instead of just forcing TP designs on us for another decade.
And i dont see how any one could say he looks more girly then other links, the guy looks more bad ass then ever
And even great in game as well, even without his classic colors and costume. Its a nice change to see him start out with a new look for the game, to eventually build into the legendary hero.
