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 Warriors series with the world of The Legend of Zelda, and will be developed by Nintendo and Tecmo Koei.

Story

Template:Unsourced excerpt The Triforce, composed of sacred symbols of Courage, Wisdom, and Power, will grant the wish of all who touch it. Many battles between good and evil have been fought for it through the ages.

When Hyrule was in danger of falling into the hands of evil, a hero wearing a green tunic appeared to strike down the ambitions of the evil power. To ensure the evil would never return, he broke the evil's spirit into four pieces, sending three pieces off into the depths of space-time, and sealed the fourth piece at the entrance to the Temple with the Master Sword.

For generations since then, at the edge of Hyrule, a sorceress has watched the equilibrium between the Triforces three aspects; Courage, Wisdom, Power, using a crystal, looking for any sign of a disturbance, but...

Hyrule is once again being besieged by evil forces. At the center of this trouble is Cia, the witch tasked with maintaining the balance of the Triforce. Although once a good person, Cia came to harbor affections for a certain knight-in-training, which in turn transformed into jealousy towards the Princess Zelda for being able to be with him.

Eventually, Cia finds her mind turned wicked under the control of the evil being thought to have been sealed away, leading her to bring disaster to the kingdom. The knight she fell for, Link, now stands in opposition to her, while she, with minions Valga and Wizro at her side, plunge Hyrule into chaos.

Gameplay

This tour de force through the beloved locales of Hyrule will have you battling the fiercest enemies in Zelda history.

The delicate balance of the Triforce has been disrupted, and Hyrule Kingdom is once again being torn apart by a dark power, this time lead by Sorceress Cia. Now it’s up to the legendary hero Link to face hordes of enemies and find the missing Princess Zelda™. Advance the story to unlock new playable characters with unique moves and weapon types.

Playable Characters

Two playable characters have been confirmed thus far:

  • Link, the Hero. An exceptionally strong soldier in Hyrule's Army, the Triforce of Courage dwells within him. He is a kind individual who can speak with fairies and he has within him a strong sense of justice that makes him firmly stands his ground against evil, even if they are stronger than he. His combat style relies on quick and nimble footwork to mess with opponents. While he can use various weapons, his main weapon is always a speed-type sword.
  • Impa, Commanding Officer of the Hyrule Imperial Guard. Attendant and vassal of the Princess Zelda. Leader of a family charged with supporting Hyrule's royal family from the shadows, she cares not for herself, and works exhaustively for the family and the Princess. Drawing her giant longsword back handed, she disposes of her enemies with exact precision in quick, feverish succession. She is a sword master, with precise movements and footwork.

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.[1] The game is scheduled for release in Japan in August 14, 2014.
