I now have access toHyrule Warriors Legendson 3DS, set to arrive on March 25 in the west. I alreadydetailed the Wii U transfer process, but I also discovered another tidbit for myself while playing this afternoon that many Japanese players have already mentioned — it runs like garbage on the old 3DS.
