Do you like your hack-n-slash games with an Asian feel? Have you played any of the 38 (safe estimate) Dynasty Warriors games? Nintendo is giving you the ability to take your skills to Hyrule. Tecmo Koei is making Hyrule Warriors for the Wii U and will see Link Master Sword his way through thousands of enemies. It will release in 2014.
I am sure Robin Williams will be excited.
Still waiting on Zelda U.
Nintendo blew all Zelda fans away this morning on their 3DS direct stream when they announced The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 2, a true sequel to the SNES classic. The game will be releasing this holiday for the 3DS. A video will be made available later on the Nintendo eShop and we will have it for you here as soon as we get it.
The game takes place in the same world as A Link to the Past and features new locations and dungeons. Link will possess the ability to turn himself into a 2D sticker to make his way into various places by clinging to walls.
May I personally just say that I apologize to Nintendo for wondering why they would have a direct stream this morning to focus mainly on the 3DS. You have given me new Zelda. I am sorry sir.
One of the big announcements from yesterday’s Nintendo Direct Stream is that this fall we will be getting a full HD remake of the classic The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker as a placeholder of sorts while Nintendo works on Link’s next adventure for the Wii U. Take a look at some of the HD-ified screens and go “oohh” and “aahh”, maybe even “look at all the pretty”.
It is funny how time changes people’s perception of things. I remember when Wind Waker was first shown and people lost their minds at the change in art style and that it was not a Zelda game at all. Fast forward ten years and it is one of the most beloved of the Zelda games and we are awaiting a chance to play it again.
Dark Horse Comics will finally be bringing [amazon_link id=”1616550414″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia[/amazon_link] to the U.S. on January 29th, a little more than a year after release in Japan.
This book celebrates the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda series and is 274 pages full of artwork, developer interviews and finally (for the first time I believe) has a complete chronological history of Hyrule. So you can finally stop arguing with your friends about whether Ocarina of Time happens before or after Skyward Sword (it’s after btw).
Any Zelda fan will definitely want to pick this up.
