Hyrule Warriors

Unlike any other Zelda title to date Hyrule Warriors /Zelda Musou will be borrowing gameplay elements from the long-standingDynasty Warriorsfranchise - allowing players to assume the role of Link like never before. Alongside the third-person perspective and hack 'n' slash gameplay Hyrule Warriorswill featureZelda 'Z-targeting' creating opportunities to dodge attacks and target enemy weak points.

Expect to take control of more than just Link, reports claim we will be seeing quite a few playable characters including Impa, captain of the Royal Army. Equipping different weapons toeach character will change the way they fight, everything from fast-paced light swords to heavier two-handed weapons. You will also be able to upgrade your weapons and characters.

The game's primary protagonist will be the witch Shia / Cia, who's envy of Princess Zelda drives her to throw Hyrule into a state of chaos with the help of her two minions Valgaand Wizro. Only the story's skeleton has been revealed but the Zelda formula holds true whenLink, a young soldier in training, must save both Hyrule and Princess Zelda.
