Hyrule Warriors Walkthrough |
Hyrule Warriors (ゼルダ無双—Zelda Warriors) is an upcoming Zelda spin-off game[1] for the Nintendo Wii U. It is a collaborative effort between Tecmo Koei, the creator of the Dynasty Warriors series, and Nintendo, the creators of the The Legend of Zelda series. It was announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation on December 18th, 2013. The gameplay is highly similar to that of Dynasty Warriors, but the Zelda universe serves as the setting.
During E3, the game was detailed more by Nintendo and Tecmo Koei. It will feature multiple playable characters, including Link, Zelda, Impa, and Midna. The villian was named to be Cia, an evil witch who kidnaps Zelda early on in the game. Other villians include Valga and Wizzro, who are clearly references to Volvagia and Wizzrobes, respectively, of the Zelda series.
Hyrule Warriors is scheduled for release on September 26th for North America, as well as September 19th for Europe. The Japanese release date is a little sooner; Hyrule Warriors releases in Japan on August 14th.
