Plus, just before ending theHyrule Warriorslivestream event, which effectively detailed what it’s like to play aDynasty Warriorsgame re-skinned with Zelda characters without having to go into the nitty-gritty details like inevitable “monotony,” Nintendo also revealed that Ganondorf will be added to the playable characters list. He looks a bit beefier than he did inOcarina of Time, but less so than inThe Wind Waker.I’d say he looked most like inTwilight Princess, but it’s clear that the character model is more of an amalgamation of several Ganondorf iterations.
Today’s streaming event brought a great deal of relevant information towards the mildly-interestedZeldafan who owns a Wii U and may have wanted to check outHyrule Warriors, but wanted to learn more. It covered a fair bit more than what I gathered frommy first impressions playing the game, including tactical Cucco’s, Chain Chomp weapons as well as other aspects ofZelda-related fan service. Which is more than fine when it comes to a spinoff title; it’s all about cashing in on the IP. I just wish that either Nintendo or Tecmo Koei didn’t have to push for “select retailers” pre-order bonuses, even if they did include a set for early adaptors that register the game on Club Nintendo (which is okay, in my book).
Hyrule Warriorswill be released exclusively on the Wii U this September 26th.
