Beginning of Hyrule Warriors Revealed
Posted on August 12 2014 by Legacy Staff
Nintendo Force Magazine recently provided fans with a great and extensive hands-on preview of Hyrule Warriors that really details the game and its features. In one part, the beginning of our hero’s story is revealed:
The opening scene shows a sleeping Zelda struggling through a nightmare, then waking up with the feeling that something sinister is about to happen in Hyrule. Shortly after, she meets Link in the Hyrule soldiers’ training fields and sees his potential as a warrior.
This is as an interesting change from previous Legend of Zelda games considering that it’s usually our silent hero, Link, with the premonitions of something evil. Plus, Zelda is meeting Link instead of the other way around, which is also new for the series. Additionally, Nintendo Force Magazine notes about the cutscenes and plot:
While I could technically tell you more about the story (and believe me there are cool moments), I think it’d more fun for you to experience the tale for yourself. But suffice it to say that I was surprised with how much I enjoyed the cutscenes and the in-game chatter between the game’s characters. While some twists and turns will come across as expected, Hyrule Warriors tells them in a fashion that is intriguing. Before and after the battles, a voiceover will explain some additional plot points, or recap things for players that left the game hanging for a little bit.
The layout of the game seems really neat for a spinoff game and if Hyrule Warriors truly becomes successful, then maybe cutscenes and story telling mechanics used within the game will be utilized in future Zelda games.
