Hyrule Warriors, known in Japan as Zelda Musō (ゼルダ無双, literary “Zelda Unrivaled”) is an upcoming hack and slash action video game developed by Omega Force and Team Ninja for the Wii U video game console. The game is a collaboration between Tecmo Koei and Nintendo, and will contain elements of Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series and Tecmo Koei’s Dynasty Warriors series.
The game is set in the fictional kingdom of Hyrule, and stars a new incarnation of series protagonist Link as a Hylian soldier-in-training. At some point in the story the Queen of Hyrule, Zelda, is kidnapped by a witch named Cia. Formerly the protector of the Triforce, Cia, a good person at heart, becomes corrupted by an evil force when she falls in love with Link and grows jealous of Zelda’s familiarity with him. Sending out her subordinates Wizzro and Valga, who are modeled after the Wizzrobe and Volvagia enemies from previous games, she wages war against Hyrule and prompts Link, and Zelda’s protector Impa, to restore balance to the land.ARVE Error: The [[arve]] shortcode needs one of this attributes av1mp4, mp4, m4v, webm, ogv, url
Hyrule Warriors mixes the hack-and-slash gameplay of Tecmo Koei’s Dynasty Warriors series of video games with the settings and characters from Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda series. The player controls Link, most closely resembling his Skyward Sword iteration, in melee combat to take on large numbers of enemies from the Legend of Zelda series. While there will be a far stronger emphasis on combat than other games in the Legend of Zelda series, the player will still use common weapons from prior games in the series, such as a sword, bombs, and Link’s signature spin attack. Enemy targeting will also return, in combination with elements from the Dynasty Warriors combat system Obtaining items through discovering and opening chests will be retained as well.
The game has a contextual-based combat system. Depending on the character selected, the abilities of weapons equipped will change. Role-playing elements such as weapon and character leveling will also appear. Multiplayer is available with two players being able to play at the same time with one being able to use the Gamepad as a primary screen. In addition to Link, multiple playable characters have been revealed with series mainstay Impa being the first announced. Zelda and Midna were confirmed as playable characters on June 10, 2014, at E3 2014, while Agitha of Twilight Princess and an original character, Lana (above video), were announced in a later issue of Famitsu.
Hyrule Warriors will be released exclusively for the Nintendo Wii U on August 14, 2014 in Japan. September 19, 2014 for Europe and September 20, 2014 for Australia and September 26, 2014 for North America.
