No 'Zelda' in the title, easier to see it as a spin off now. Good move.

Yep.

I know this is anecdotal, but I've already met quite a few people who think that this is the "real" new Zelda for Wii U.

Announcing the next mainline title at E3 with the proper "The Legend of Zelda" tag will set these two apart for the people who aren't that up to date with the latest game news.

 

[NotLiquid]

Alright. I'll bite Nintendo.

 

[massoluk]

So, her name is Cia. Nice.

Also, is that the creation of Skyloft? Wow.

Really looking more and more like the Hyrule Hysteria manga to me.

 

[OmegaSmash]

IS THE TREASURE BOX EDITION CONFIRMED FOR THE WEST

I NEED THAT SCARF YO

 

[Entryhazard]

No, Skyward sword Link is the First Link in the timeline. It would make absolutely no sense for this to be a prequel.

More or less

Anyway that tract of land in the sky is definitely Skyloft, there's even the Goddes Hylia statue

 

[a1j2p3]

I think maybe calling it a new ip, something like "The Chronicles of Link", would differentiate it from the main series enough but to still connect it to the main lore.

 

[antonz]

You have a main Zelda U coming this fall or next spring likely. They would not want people to think both are the same for sales confusion. It will be very apparent its tied to the Zelda universe but by leaving The Legend of Zelda off the title they make it clear its not the same

 

[Nemesis_]

Trying to think who they could implement as playable characters (and make them work).

I'm thinking Gannondorf would be a shoe-in, as would Zelda. Not too familiar with the Dynasty Warriors games outside of the first five or so so I don't know how the team could make these work.

 

[Jucksalbe]

Haha, well, I guess it already stuck, so they might as well keep the title.
The PR is just awfully written, though.

 

[Aostia]

where in the blue hell is the DATE!? C'moooooon!!!

 

[StayDead]

I'm pretty sure this is the first zelda related game where you can play other characters aside from Link (I'm not counting MM and the masks).

Actually if you play SS the thing Demise says at the end makes me think that everything has already happened before, so it's not a stretch of the imagination to believe that's the creation of skyloft.

Especially because there's a huge castle there that must've been destroyed when Demise threatened the world first time.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

SCARFS!

I'm innerested. Give me.

SCARVES*

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I quite like the name Hyrule Warriors, but that logo is a bit lacking.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

If it weren't for the scarf the logo would be too bland, but it makes it work.

 

[Ryuuga]

Someday I hope a list of possible titles are revealed.

 

[Magicpaint]

I don't love the logo but I do love the name.

 

[-Horizon-]

Scarves make everything better

 

[BY2K]

Funny how's there is no screen of Shia/Cia in the website.

 

[JB2448]

The North American page for the game features the logo without the shield:

 

[Zalman]

Very happy Hyrule Warriors is the final name. I think it sounds awesome.

 

[E-Cat]

Funny how's there is no screen of Shia/Cia in the website.

They're still working on concealing her tracts of land.

 

[Qurupeke]

Really looking more and more like the Hyrule Hysteria manga to me.

Huh, what's that?

[69wpm]

The North American page for the game features the logo without the shield:

It says "temp" right there, it's a placeholder.

Why do people think Skyloft is rising up? It looks to me as if it's falling down.

 

[Alcotholic]

More or less

So it's probably after. When Link and Zelda rebuild hyrule.

 

[ScriptedReality]

Oh man.. We get to be the link from the Manga! C'mon prequel lol.

 

[Atrophis]

I havent played much Zelda and I dont have a WiiU but I really want this game.

 

[radcliff]

Then unleash the full power of your attacks with intense combos to clear wave after wave of Bokoblin hordes. You’ll have to get your gloves dirty to save Hyrule this time.

There are other basic enemies other than Bokoblins, right? I know there were Stalfos in one piece of artwork, but all I ever see in screens are Bokoblins, and the awful SS designs of them too.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Oh man.. We get to be the link from the Manga! C'mon prequel lol.

This game has Princess Zelda and Hyrule. It takes place after Skyward.

 

[JB2448]

I never said otherwise. That's just the first time we've seen that variant of the logo. Also, I agree about Skyloft. It looks like it's collapsing to me.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Liking this game more and more every time I see anything about it.

 

[StayDead]

So it's probably after. When Link and Zelda rebuild hyrule.

The godess statue comes down at the end of the game so it wouldn't make sense for it to be falling at the same time as the rest of skyloft.

Why would it be falling down (unless alt timeline or something) if the Goddess Statue is still there?

Only the smaller pieces of rubble seem to have falling down effects drawn on. The larger land masses have none of that falling blur effect. So it's being ripped out of the ground and loose pieces are falling off the main body,

 

[Vazra]

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Warriors has better ring to it. But I guess they did that to Crossbow Training too to not get it mixed with the canon games perhaps.

 

[Alcotholic]

I have played SS, and He just curses link and zelda. The thing sort of did happen before since Zelda is the reincarnate of the goddess who sent the people to the skies and sealed Demise away.

The godess statue comes down at the end of the game so it wouldn't make sense for it to be falling at the same time as the rest of skyloft.

Hmm... Well, honestly, I'm not sure then. But I still don't go with it being the creation since it would make absolutely no sense.

Where is the giant hole that Skyloft emerged from? All I see is a field burning right underneath it, because Skyloft is crumbling down.

There is no hole below it, and Hyrule came AFTER Skyloft was placed back on the ground.

And the Warriors logo is changed. I honestly like this one better.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

That actually makes it look better.

 

[InfiniteNine]

That logo is really ugly.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

That is one awesome logo!
Day one for me. As with every Zelda game.

 

[Tsundere]

I might actually grab this.

 

[69wpm]

You can see here how Skyloft is getting split apart.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

That actually makes it look better.

But the shield is the most important part!
How else are you going to protect yourself from the haters?!

 

[Heyt]

So this game will cover how Skyloft forms? interesting.

I'd say it is beinf formed rather than falling appart. The hole on the valley seems to be where Skyloft's land was take from. The clouds above are opening up as well to let the mass get through and seal the surface away. Skyloft was beyond the clouds and could not be seen from the surface. It makes more sense to me its being send away rather than falling. It was never so close to the surface in the first place.

 

[Khrno]

But the shield is the most important part!

No need to block, just parry the attacks.

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

Looks more like how it's going to be destroyed.

 

[Xeroblade]

dat blue scarf though?
