The West Will Get ‘Wind Waker’ Link’s Costume In ‘Monster Hunter Generations’

Monster Hunter Generations for the Nintendo 3DS releases in North America on July 15. Capcom has been generous with the DLC announcements so far, with armor sets themed to characters from Strider, Fire Emblem, and Okami. We can now add The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker to the list.

Your Palico friends will be able to equip this set (I presume Prowlers will, too). I personally found the set a tad jarring in the video. In a still image, it is kind of cute but put it in motion and it is not my cup of tea. But to each, their own! I am sure there will be plenty of hunters who will fall head over paws in love with this DLC.

In other news, those of us who hunted in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate will be rewarded with several bonus goodies as a reward for having save data for the game on our system. What data you ask? Yuri Araujo of Capcom-Unity explained it this way:

The Save Data in question is the “Extra Data” that gets saved on your SD Card. In MHGen, all data is actually stored on the SD Card as well so you would need to be using the same 3DS to get the Bonus content.
You can, however, transfer your entire 3DS to a new one and claim your bonuses on that one.

The bonus pack includes items to get you started in the game on good footing as well as the exclusive Baby Tigrex Armor for Felynes. The design is based on the monster’s look in Poka Poka Airu Mura DX and it is super adorable!

If you are still on the fence about getting Monster Hunter Generations, the 3DS eShop has an impressively-thorough demo available. Give it a shot!
