| + | '''''Hyrule Warriors''''' is an upcoming game for the [[Wii U]] releasing in 2014. It combines the action of {{wp|Tecmo Koei}}'s ''{{wp|Dynasty Warriors}}'' series with the world of {{LZS}}, and will be developed by [[Nintendo]] and Tecmo Koei. |
||
| + | ==Story== |
||
| − | The '''Sealed Temple''', formerly known as the '''Temple of Hylia''', is a location in {{SS}}. It is located in the [[Sealed Grounds]], deep within [[Faron Woods]], and is where Link initially meets the aged [[Impa#Skyward Sword|Impa]]. [[Princess Zelda#Skyward Sword|Zelda]] confines herself here in the past, where she enters into an era-long slumber until [[The Imprisoned]] is destroyed. |
||
| + | Long ago, a hero wearing a green tunic fought against the forces of evil that were after the Triforce, an ancient and powerful relic. The hero broke the evil's spirit into four pieces, sending three pieces off into the depths of space-time, and sealing the fourth piece at the entrance to the Temple with the Master Sword. Ever since then, a sorceress has watched over the balance of the Triforce. |
||
| + | One day, [[Cia]], the sorceress who was tasked with maintaining the balance of the Triforce, became infatuated with [[Link]], a young Hyrulean soldier. Those feelings transformed into jealousy towards [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]], and eventually corrupted Cia. With Zelda gone missing, it is up to Link to fight Cia and find the young princess.<ref name=JPWebsite>{{cite web |url= http://www.gamecity.ne.jp/zelda/introduction |title= ゼルダ無双 |site= Official Zelda Musou Website}}</ref> |
||
| − | Like its [[Temple of Time#Skyward Sword|sister temple]] in the [[Lanayru Desert]], it is home to a [[Gate of Time]] and acts as a predecessor to the [[Temple of Time#Ocarina of Time|Temple of Time]] that appears in {{OOT}} and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'', being a time-themed temple where the [[Master Sword]] is put to rest. It initially has the same layout as the latter temple, which happens to be built over it. |
||
| − | == |
+ | ==Gameplay== |
| + | The gameplay is very similar to Tecmo Koei's ''Dynasty Warriors'' series of video games, but instead uses the setting and characters from [[Nintendo]]'s [[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''Zelda'' series]]. The player controls various characters throughout the game, including Link and [[Impa]]. While there is a far stronger emphasis on combat than other games in the ''Zelda'' series, the player will still use common items from prior games in the series, such as [[Sword]]s, [[Bomb]]s and the [[Hookshot]]. These items can serve as weapons, and can uncover secrets on the map or allow the player access to previously unreachable areas and shortcuts. Many of the player characters' signature moves appear in the new combat system, such as Link's [[Spin Attack]] which takes the form of a Musou Attack. A special usable technique is called "Focus Energy". By filling up the Magic meter at the top-left of the screen then pressing the R button, the player will enter "Focus Energy", enhancing their attack and attributes. Discovering new items and opening [[Treasure Chest|Chests]] is also present in the game; Various chests are scattered across the battlefield, some of which are hidden under boulders or in secret areas. They can contain new items for the player to use, Heart Containers and Pieces of Heart to increase their health, or other various items like Sealed Weapons. |
||
| − | ===The Era of the Goddess Hylia=== |
||
| − | Long ago, in the [[Zelda Timeline#Era of the Goddess Hylia|Era of the Goddess Hylia]], a crack opened up in the earth and from the fissure emerged the Demon King [[Demise]] and his [[Demon|demonic hoards]], launching a brutal assault on the surface and driving the land into deep despair. In order to save the surviving humans from the ravages of the brutal assault, she sent part of the Temple of Hylia and the land it resides on skyward, [[The Sky|beyond even the clouds]], into the place which would come to be known as [[Skyloft]] many years later.<ref>{{cite|The goddess gathered the surviving humans on an outcropping of earth. She sent it skyward, beyond the reach of the demonic hordes. Beyond even the clouds.|Fi|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|quote=The plot of land Hylia sent into the sky became known as the Isle of the Goddess. The islands in the sky where the surviving humans dwell became known as Skyloft.|book=[[Hyrule Historia]]|publisher=Dark Horse Books|page=72}}</ref> The section of the temple that remained on the surface became known as the Sealed Temple and rested undisturbed for eons, protected by the goddesses' [[Sheikah]] attendant, Impa. |
||
| + | Unlike most normal ''Zelda'' games, vast hordes of weaker enemies like [[Bokoblin]]s are set to appear, often alongside greater foes such as [[King Dodongo]], encouraging the player to think tactically. The player character will also fight alongside regular [[Soldier]]s and other playable characters for the first time in the series. The game will also feature multiple locations throughout Hyrule that will function as battlefields. |
||
| − | ===''Skyward Sword''=== |
||
| − | [[Image:SealedTemple2.png|left|250px|thumb|Link's first encounter with the Sealed Temple]] |
||
| − | Thousands of years later, in the [[Zelda Timeline#The Era of the Sky|Era of the Sky]], [[Link#Skyward Sword|Link]] visits the now decaying temple numerous times during his quest, making it a significant location throughout the story. It is the first area of the Surface which he explores, and where he meets an aged Impa for the first time. After receiving the [[Goddess's Harp]] from Zelda at the [[Temple of Time#Skyward Sword|ancient Temple of Time]], Link returns to the Sealed Temple and Impa teaches him how to play it.<ref>{{cite|Very well, I shall teach you how to play it. Listen well and do as I say. First press [up on D-pad] to ready your harp, then press A to prepare to strum it.|Impa|SS}}</ref> She also guides him as he attempts to reconstruct a second Gate of Time after the first in the Lanayru Desert is destroyed by her younger self.<ref>{{cite|Clues to finding the sacred flames have been woven into the lyrics of a song precious to your people, the Ballad of the Goddess. Only after your blade has been tempered by these three fires will it be fully imbued with the great power for which you search.|Impa|SS}}</ref><ref>{{cite|Now that a sacred force dwells in your blade, strike the Gate of Time with a Skyward Strike and it will surely awaken.|Impa|SS}}</ref> |
||
| + | The player can collect [[Rupees]] and materials to upgrade weapons and craft badges, which can then be used to bolster each character’s abilities. There will be multiple weapon types, such as Link's Sword and Shield combo which is oriented around speed, and heavier weapon types that rely on power. Each weapon type has its own moveset, and contains several equippable weapons; for example, Link can use the Knight's Sword, the White Sword, or the Master Sword as part of his Sword and Shield moveset. Individual weapons have their own stats and skills, which can be transferred onto another weapon of the same type for a certain Rupee cost, provided the recipient weapon has empty skill slots; however, doing so will sacrifice the source weapon. |
||
| − | Once the Gate of Time is complete, Link can visit the Sealed Temple in both the distant past and his present. Using this means of time travel, Link is able to plant the [[Life Tree Seedling]] in some soft soil in the Temple and acquire the [[Life Tree Fruit]] in the present while looking for a means to cure the [[Lanayru (Dragon)|Thunder Dragon]].<ref>{{cite|Master Thunder Dragon needs fruit from the Tree of Life to recover! I fear growing the seedling to maturity in the Lanayru Province is near impossible, brrzrrt.|Ancient Robot|SS}}</ref> |
||
| + | Adventure Mode is an alternative gameplay mode, which takes the form of a grid in the shape of the overworld from the original {{TLOZ}}. Each block in the grid represents a mission, like defeating a certain number of enemies under a specific time limit. Completing missions unlocks the adjacent squares on the grid, and allows the player to advance. Special exploration items like the Compass, the Candle or Bombs, can be used to find rewards in certain squares of the grid; the player will then have to complete a battle to obtain that particular reward. New characters and special weapons can only be unlocked via Adventure Mode. |
||
| − | After Link collects the three pieces of the [[Triforce]] and wishes for the destruction of Demise,<ref>{{cite|Master, I believe at this juncture, a prayer is required. The ultimate goal we have traveled so far for is now within reach. Focus now, and wish with all your might for the destruction of Demise.|Fi|SS}}</ref> the [[Isle of the Goddess]] and the [[Statue of the Goddess]] return to the surface from Skyloft and completes the Temple's previously damaged entry.<ref>{{cite|Master, I have news. I have confirmed that the Isle of the Goddess, which was once formerly a part of Skyloft, has returned to the surface.|Fi|SS}}</ref> [[Ghirahim]] appears shortly thereafter, abducts Zelda, and uses the Gate of Time to bring her to the past in an attempt to resurrect Demise there.<ref>{{cite|My master may have perished in this age, but in the past he lives yet! I'm taking the girl back through that gate to help me revive the demon king!|Ghirahim|SS}}</ref> He is able to disarm Impa in the past and escape the Sealed Temple.<ref>{{cite|Urgh... Link... ? It's Ghirahim... He appeared out of thin air and got the drop on me. Don't worry about me, you must chase after him! He ran through the great doors at the front of the temple.|Impa|SS}}</ref> |
||
| + | The game will also feature both online and local co-op modes. In local co-op, one player uses the Gamepad as their screen. The Wii U Pro Controller and Wii Remote with Nunchuk control styles will be available options for both multiplayer and single player. In single-player, the Gamepad functions as a sub-menu, akin to how it was used in {{TWWHD}}. |
||
| − | Following his battle and defeat of the Demise in the past and rescue of Zelda, Link bids farewell to his companion [[Fi]] as she goes into an eternal sleep within the Master Sword and puts it rest in a pedestal in the rear chamber where Zelda had slept. Impa also chooses to stay in the past and guard the Temple of Hylia. Upon returning to the present with Zelda and Groose, the Gate of Time they came through disintegrates into light and the old lady who was guarding the temple reveals herself to be an aged Impa before passing away. |
||
| + | ===Hero Characters=== |
||
| − | === The Era of Chaos and the Era of Prosperity === |
||
| + | Heroes will accompany the player as allies on the map. |
||
| − | During the [[Zelda Timeline#Era of Chaos|era of chaos]], there were wars to obtain the power of the Triforce. To bring an end to these wars, the Ancient Sage, [[Rauru]] built over the remains of the Sealed Temple a [[Temple of Time|new Temple of Time]], which contained the only entrance to the [[Sacred Realm]], using the Master Sword and [[Spiritual Stones|three Spiritual Stones]] guarded by the people of [[Kokiri|forest]], [[Goron|fire]] and [[Zora|water]] as keys.<ref name="Temple of Time">{{cite book|quote=Temple of Time: The only entrance to the Sacred Realm's Temple of Light, the Temple of Time shares the same name as the temple in the Lanayru Desert of the Era of the Goddess Hylia. It is thought that Rauru built the Temple of Time directly over the ruins of the Sealed Temple.|book=[[Hyrule Historia]]|publisher=Dark Horse Books|page=77}}</ref> Following this was the [[Zelda Timeline#Era of Prosperity|Era of Prosperity]], in which the [[Hyrule|Kingdom of Hyrule]] was established and its [[Royal Family of Hyrule]] began to watch over the newly established temple. |
||
| + | *'''The Hero, [[Link]]''': A strong young soldier in Hyrule's Army, who possesses the Triforce of Courage. He is kind, can speak with fairies, and has a strong sense of justice. His main fighting style revolves around swordplay with a sword and shield, but he can also use fast magical weapons like the [[Magic Rod]], as well as heavy weapons like the [[Ball and Chain]]. |
||
| − | ==Trivia== |
||
| + | *'''Princess of Hyrule, [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]''': The princess of Hyrule, who leads her army against [[Cia|Cia's]]. She is very dignified and beautiful. She uses a rapier and a bow in battle as well as having a unique mechanic where she summons orbs of light in order to enhance her attacks, but can also use the Baton, which lets her use music as a weapon. |
||
| − | *The connection between the Sealed Temple in ''Skyward Sword'' and the Temple of Time that appears in ''Ocarina of Time'' was confirmed by [[Hyrule Historia]].<ref name="Temple of Time" /> |
||
| + | *'''The White Sorceress, [[Lana]]''': A sorceress with a deep knowledge of spells, monsters, and using spells on monsters. Lana and Cia have an unspoken hostility, even beyond the normal anger that war brings out. Lana is fiercely determined to put a halt to Cia's plans, even at the cost of her own life or happiness. Her default weapon is a book which gives her the ability to form barriers which, when shattered, can cause immense damage to enemies. Her second style is a spear allowing her to access the power of the [[Great Deku Tree]]. She can also summons things like [[Cucco]]s to use as weapons with her Summoning Gate. |
||
| − | *When the Isle of the Goddess rejoins the rest of the Sealed Temple, the completed ceiling of the vestibule has the markings of each of the six [[Medallions]] on it. |
||
| + | *'''Hyrulean Captain, [[Impa]]''': Attendant and vassal of Zelda. She is the leader of a [[Sheikah|family]] charged with supporting Hyrule's royal family from the shadows, and is immensely loyal to Zelda. She fights with a giant longsword, which she uses back-handed. Her fighting style consists of quick and precise attacks as well manipulating water to take the shape of weapons. Her second style uses a naginata and allows her to manipulate fire. |
||
| − | *The crystal that Zelda is sleeping within can be seen in the present time period as far back as the beginning of the game by looking through the door behind Impa. |
||
| + | *'''Sheikah Warrior, [[Sheik]]''': An individual of questionable origin, Sheik is revealed to Link and Impa during a time of great need. Though quiet and betraying very little emotion, Sheik never-the-less finds ways to make a lasting impact on fellow warriors with a very distinct way with words. Introduced as a Sheikah, Sheik is ready and able to assist Hyrule's efforts, even if Impa is highly skeptical. |
||
| + | *'''Goron Chief, [[Darunia]]''': Leader of the [[Goron|Gorons]], Darunia is an extremely powerful force, even within his tribe. And just like all Gorons, his rock-like body makes him tough to mess with. While he can sometimes be very stubborn, he does so out of love for his Goron brothers. Darunia swings around the [[Megaton Hammer|Hammer]] like it weighs nothing at all, even though it weighs a ton! |
||
| + | *'''Zora Princess, [[Princess Ruto|Ruto]]''': A bit of a tomboy, Ruto is the princess of the Zoras. She may come off as a snooty, spoiled brat, and she is, but Ruto is also quite refined and dedicated to her cause. She does what she has to in order to protect those she loves most, and that certainly includes her future husband, Link (it’s complicated). Using the [[Zora Scale]], she can summon giant waves that crash into enemies as well as create bubbles of water that she can swim through. |
||
| + | *'''Twilight Princess, [[Midna]]''': The Twilight Princess, who has wandered away from her family for unknown reasons. Although she is smart and kind, she has a tendency to look down on others and get into trouble because of her sharp tongue. She was turned into her current form by Cia, and thus seeks to return to her normal form. In battle, she uses magic and can summon Twilit wolves in order to ride or use as attack beasts. |
||
| + | *'''Princess of Insects?, [[Agitha]]''': The self-proclaimed princess of the insect kingdom. Agitha keeps a bright smile on at all times and looks at the world through a sweeter lens than her allies. But just because she's so cheery doesn't excuse her from battle! Her parasol is her standard weapon, though her real strength resides in the bugs she summons forth in times of need. |
||
| + | *'''The Goddess Sword, [[Fi]]''': The spirit of the [[Goddess Sword]] sealed inside the [[Statue of the Goddess]] in [[Skyloft]]. With extensive knowledge and a highly analytical mind, Fi thinks things through logically and offers advice and wisdom to whoever holds the sword. Her body is made of a blue, metal-like material. Fi floats and moves in the air, and transforms into a sword to attack. |
||
| + | |||
| + | ===Enemy Characters=== |
||
| + | Enemy characters that function the same way as heroes, having a presence on the battlefield. |
||
| + | |||
| + | *'''[[Cia]]''': Cia the Black Witch, once tasked with maintaining the balance of the Triforce, her jealousy of Link and Zelda causes her heart to be consumed by a dark force. |
||
| + | *'''[[Valga]]''': A warrior that struck some kind of deal with Cia, wields a Spear. |
||
| + | *'''[[Wizro]]''': The spirit of a cursed ring, given form by Cia. |
||
| + | *'''Usurper King, [[Zant]]''': An evil [[Twili]] who covets the throne. Wields Scimitars. |
||
| + | *'''Demon Lord, [[Ghirahim]]''': The Demon Lord who tried to resurrect his master; the leader of the demons who was sealed away. Wields a Demon Blade. |
||
| + | *'''Demon King, [[Ganondorf]]''': An evil being sealed away in four pieces. Wields a Great Sword. It is implied that he is responsible for Cia's corruption and is the hidden true main antagonist. |

| + | ===Development=== |
||
| + | ''Hyrule Warriors'' was announced on December 18, 2013, on a Nintendo Direct. The game was announced as a collaboration with Tecmo Koei. As such, [[Nintendo]] president [[Satoru Iwata]] stated that the game would not be the next main series installment of ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, but rather a spinoff from the ''Dynasty Warriors'' series. The game, however, is still being produced by long-time ''Zelda'' developer [[Eiji Aonuma]].<ref>{{Cite web| url=http://www.ibtimes.com/new-zelda-game-coming-wii-u-hyrule-warriors-release-date-2014-or-2015-1515900 | title=New 'Zelda' Game Coming To Wii U: 'Hyrule Warriors' Release Date In 2014 Or 2015? | site= International Business Times}}</ref> The game is scheduled for release in Japan on August 14, 2014. |

Revision as of 10:25, 6 August 2014
Template:Future game Template:Game Hyrule Warriors is an upcoming game for the Wii U releasing in 2014. It combines the action of Tecmo Koei's Dynasty Warriors series with the world of Template:LZS, and will be developed by Nintendo and Tecmo Koei.
Story
Long ago, a hero wearing a green tunic fought against the forces of evil that were after the Triforce, an ancient and powerful relic. The hero broke the evil's spirit into four pieces, sending three pieces off into the depths of space-time, and sealing the fourth piece at the entrance to the Temple with the Master Sword. Ever since then, a sorceress has watched over the balance of the Triforce.
One day, Cia, the sorceress who was tasked with maintaining the balance of the Triforce, became infatuated with Link, a young Hyrulean soldier. Those feelings transformed into jealousy towards Zelda, and eventually corrupted Cia. With Zelda gone missing, it is up to Link to fight Cia and find the young princess.[1]
Gameplay
The gameplay is very similar to Tecmo Koei's Dynasty Warriors series of video games, but instead uses the setting and characters from Nintendo's Zelda series. The player controls various characters throughout the game, including Link and Impa. While there is a far stronger emphasis on combat than other games in the Zelda series, the player will still use common items from prior games in the series, such as Swords, Bombs and the Hookshot. These items can serve as weapons, and can uncover secrets on the map or allow the player access to previously unreachable areas and shortcuts. Many of the player characters' signature moves appear in the new combat system, such as Link's Spin Attack which takes the form of a Musou Attack. A special usable technique is called "Focus Energy". By filling up the Magic meter at the top-left of the screen then pressing the R button, the player will enter "Focus Energy", enhancing their attack and attributes. Discovering new items and opening Chests is also present in the game; Various chests are scattered across the battlefield, some of which are hidden under boulders or in secret areas. They can contain new items for the player to use, Heart Containers and Pieces of Heart to increase their health, or other various items like Sealed Weapons.
Unlike most normal Zelda games, vast hordes of weaker enemies like Bokoblins are set to appear, often alongside greater foes such as King Dodongo, encouraging the player to think tactically. The player character will also fight alongside regular Soldiers and other playable characters for the first time in the series. The game will also feature multiple locations throughout Hyrule that will function as battlefields.
The player can collect Rupees and materials to upgrade weapons and craft badges, which can then be used to bolster each character’s abilities. There will be multiple weapon types, such as Link's Sword and Shield combo which is oriented around speed, and heavier weapon types that rely on power. Each weapon type has its own moveset, and contains several equippable weapons; for example, Link can use the Knight's Sword, the White Sword, or the Master Sword as part of his Sword and Shield moveset. Individual weapons have their own stats and skills, which can be transferred onto another weapon of the same type for a certain Rupee cost, provided the recipient weapon has empty skill slots; however, doing so will sacrifice the source weapon.
Adventure Mode is an alternative gameplay mode, which takes the form of a grid in the shape of the overworld from the original Template:TLOZ. Each block in the grid represents a mission, like defeating a certain number of enemies under a specific time limit. Completing missions unlocks the adjacent squares on the grid, and allows the player to advance. Special exploration items like the Compass, the Candle or Bombs, can be used to find rewards in certain squares of the grid; the player will then have to complete a battle to obtain that particular reward. New characters and special weapons can only be unlocked via Adventure Mode.
The game will also feature both online and local co-op modes. In local co-op, one player uses the Gamepad as their screen. The Wii U Pro Controller and Wii Remote with Nunchuk control styles will be available options for both multiplayer and single player. In single-player, the Gamepad functions as a sub-menu, akin to how it was used in The Wind Waker HD.
Hero Characters
Heroes will accompany the player as allies on the map.
- The Hero, Link: A strong young soldier in Hyrule's Army, who possesses the Triforce of Courage. He is kind, can speak with fairies, and has a strong sense of justice. His main fighting style revolves around swordplay with a sword and shield, but he can also use fast magical weapons like the Magic Rod, as well as heavy weapons like the Ball and Chain.
- Princess of Hyrule, Zelda: The princess of Hyrule, who leads her army against Cia's. She is very dignified and beautiful. She uses a rapier and a bow in battle as well as having a unique mechanic where she summons orbs of light in order to enhance her attacks, but can also use the Baton, which lets her use music as a weapon.
- The White Sorceress, Lana: A sorceress with a deep knowledge of spells, monsters, and using spells on monsters. Lana and Cia have an unspoken hostility, even beyond the normal anger that war brings out. Lana is fiercely determined to put a halt to Cia's plans, even at the cost of her own life or happiness. Her default weapon is a book which gives her the ability to form barriers which, when shattered, can cause immense damage to enemies. Her second style is a spear allowing her to access the power of the Great Deku Tree. She can also summons things like Cuccos to use as weapons with her Summoning Gate.
- Hyrulean Captain, Impa: Attendant and vassal of Zelda. She is the leader of a family charged with supporting Hyrule's royal family from the shadows, and is immensely loyal to Zelda. She fights with a giant longsword, which she uses back-handed. Her fighting style consists of quick and precise attacks as well manipulating water to take the shape of weapons. Her second style uses a naginata and allows her to manipulate fire.
- Sheikah Warrior, Sheik: An individual of questionable origin, Sheik is revealed to Link and Impa during a time of great need. Though quiet and betraying very little emotion, Sheik never-the-less finds ways to make a lasting impact on fellow warriors with a very distinct way with words. Introduced as a Sheikah, Sheik is ready and able to assist Hyrule's efforts, even if Impa is highly skeptical.
- Goron Chief, Darunia: Leader of the Gorons, Darunia is an extremely powerful force, even within his tribe. And just like all Gorons, his rock-like body makes him tough to mess with. While he can sometimes be very stubborn, he does so out of love for his Goron brothers. Darunia swings around the Hammer like it weighs nothing at all, even though it weighs a ton!
- Zora Princess, Ruto: A bit of a tomboy, Ruto is the princess of the Zoras. She may come off as a snooty, spoiled brat, and she is, but Ruto is also quite refined and dedicated to her cause. She does what she has to in order to protect those she loves most, and that certainly includes her future husband, Link (it’s complicated). Using the Zora Scale, she can summon giant waves that crash into enemies as well as create bubbles of water that she can swim through.
- Twilight Princess, Midna: The Twilight Princess, who has wandered away from her family for unknown reasons. Although she is smart and kind, she has a tendency to look down on others and get into trouble because of her sharp tongue. She was turned into her current form by Cia, and thus seeks to return to her normal form. In battle, she uses magic and can summon Twilit wolves in order to ride or use as attack beasts.
- Princess of Insects?, Agitha: The self-proclaimed princess of the insect kingdom. Agitha keeps a bright smile on at all times and looks at the world through a sweeter lens than her allies. But just because she's so cheery doesn't excuse her from battle! Her parasol is her standard weapon, though her real strength resides in the bugs she summons forth in times of need.
- The Goddess Sword, Fi: The spirit of the Goddess Sword sealed inside the Statue of the Goddess in Skyloft. With extensive knowledge and a highly analytical mind, Fi thinks things through logically and offers advice and wisdom to whoever holds the sword. Her body is made of a blue, metal-like material. Fi floats and moves in the air, and transforms into a sword to attack.
Enemy Characters
Enemy characters that function the same way as heroes, having a presence on the battlefield.
- Cia: Cia the Black Witch, once tasked with maintaining the balance of the Triforce, her jealousy of Link and Zelda causes her heart to be consumed by a dark force.
- Valga: A warrior that struck some kind of deal with Cia, wields a Spear.
- Wizro: The spirit of a cursed ring, given form by Cia.
- Usurper King, Zant: An evil Twili who covets the throne. Wields Scimitars.
- Demon Lord, Ghirahim: The Demon Lord who tried to resurrect his master; the leader of the demons who was sealed away. Wields a Demon Blade.
- Demon King, Ganondorf: An evil being sealed away in four pieces. Wields a Great Sword. It is implied that he is responsible for Cia's corruption and is the hidden true main antagonist.
Game Information
Development
Hyrule Warriors was announced on December 18, 2013, on a Nintendo Direct. The game was announced as a collaboration with Tecmo Koei. As such, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata stated that the game would not be the next main series installment of The Legend of Zelda series, but rather a spinoff from the Dynasty Warriors series. The game, however, is still being produced by long-time Zelda developer Eiji Aonuma.[2] The game is scheduled for release in Japan on August 14, 2014.
The Treasure Box edition
Timeline Placement
Eiji Aonuma has stated that Hyrule Warriors exists as a "separate dimension" and is not part of the main series.[3] However, he goes on to suggest that while the game does not slot into any particular part of the timeline, it has links to different periods of the timeline,[4] and that characters have been "brought together".[5] He said that he had been thinking of it as being similar to The Avengers.[6]
Limited Editions
Two limited editions of the game are set to be released in Japan exclusive to Amazon Japan. The Premium Box edition includes a copy of the game, an art book, a Triforce table clock, and the Courage and Wisdom DLC costumes set. The Tresure Box edition also includes the extras from the Premium Box, plus the Power DLC costumes set, a scarf like the one used by Link in the game, and a Treasure Chest replica with sound.
A limited edition is also set to be released in Europe, which includes a copy of the game and the scarf.
