It should be a hammer...

But it's his weakness!

 

[elty]

Looks quite good, I hope this will be featured in E3 and gives some marketing push.

 

[DNAbro]

Jim Sterling seems really excited for it...I think. He also really loves dynasty warriors.

he said they were excitement poops so yeah.

 

[MagiusNecros]

It should be a hammer...

Maybe he has one as an alternate.

But yeah so far.

I have a feeling, considering Shia pics, he means something other than poo . _ .

 

[Kouriozan]

You're right, high chances he'll be playable and there is multiple weapons per characters.

 

[abstract alien]

I had zero intentions on buying this, and here I am. A hypocrite and liar. I want it :-(

 

[Alcotholic]

Deffo looking super good right now. I'm gonna pick it up hard.

I think this is how 90% of us feel. It's amazing how zelda can tug at our heart strings.
They could make a zelda dating game and i think I would buy it.


Also:

hngggggggg he has a lance too. Favorite zelda enemy.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Tadakatsu Honda + Lu Bu + Volvagia + A lance = Valga the Scorching Berserker?

I don't really even care about the Zelda series ( the only one I played was a link between worlds) and I want this now.

You're speaking gibberish to me. I'll take it that you meant that this is a good thing.


Can't WAIT for the E3 trailer now. Can't WAIT to see treehouse play this. I really hope showfloor impressions are good. I'm also hoping the 'Nintendo Touch' makes this the best dynasty warriors game, too. I can only imagine what input miyamoto has for it.

 

[MagiusNecros]

So far Wizro is the most badass looking design to me. Rad Necromancer level stuff.

 

[Bulzeeb]

Getting really excited for this and I don't even have a Wii U.

you can fix that with the upcoming mario kart 8 bundle


Back on topic, damn I am so buying this game, its funny how I was reluctant to play any musou game until the moment they used a franchise I really like

 

[Tom_Cody]

Helmaroc King fits the best design-wise (there was a pic posted somewhere earlier), despite not being female.

That actually makes a lot of sense when you factor in the detail of the mask.

I still wouldn't say it's a super close fit though, especially compared to Volvagia/Valga

 

[Sylverstone14]

Looks like we also have a boxart (not mine)

....I have a feeling the OT will have something to do with cleavage.

looks like oot adult zelda

wow nice catch.

The third locked playable character is probably Princess Zelda if i had to guess, can't wait to see how her art looks.

 

[BY2K]

Helmaroc King/Shia makes a lot of sense, considering it was Ganon's "dragon" in Wind Waker.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Hmm. Anyone else?

Wouldn't it be kind of a big deal if they were showing original art in this style? What does this mean?

Its zelda u, meltdowns everywhere

 

[Samurai_Heart]

I hope they changed the animation for the bomb move set since the reveal trailer, depressing it's the same as DW8's Dong Zhuo when it was shown:

[Kandinsky]

Loving the art direction of this game. Looks nice and colourful.

Also, boobs.

Same, I'd love if the main game had the same art direction and not that awful bland techdemo one :/

Edit: dat scarf tho, it fits Link so well, I love it.

 

[Green Mamba]

Really wish they weren't using the Skyward Sword Bokoblins. One of my least favorite monster designs in the series history, and they were fucking everywhere in Skyward Sword.

 

[Brazil]

This is sogood.gif

 

[Busaiku]

I highly doubt that the new game is Twilight Princess HD (the demo was).

 

[-Horizon-]

This is how Nintendo will make my wallet cry.

Spoiler

one day, one day

 

[Mr. Bamboo]

So these three antagonists (or perhaps just Shia) are possibly Dark Interlopers? Their lore is one of the most interesting in the Zelda series, and I do hope they develop it more, if not in this game then the next main Zelda.

 

[georly]

That actually makes a lot of sense when you factor in the detail of the mask.

The eyes on the mask look like a combination of the Babusu and Geldman from Alttp

Babusu:

Geldman

The waviness of the white eye part reminds me a bit of aghanim's eyes, as well as Ganon's, AND blind the thief.

AND all the shadow bosses from Link's Awakening

But even moreso of Pandora's Eyes from KI:U

 

[MagiusNecros]

Someone needs to get on translating the character bio's on the website pronto.

 

[Akiller]

Artwork from the official twiter account :

Fucking Amazing, it'll be hard for Nintendo to create a better Link for Zelda U.

With Shia's appearance i can assume this will be the year of Weeeitches.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

I'm in for Impa and the one-eyed thing

 

[Principate]

This game better have OoT Din's fire bro's.

Otherwise it's dead to be.

Spoiler

half joking

 

[Protagonist Jake]

So im gonna assume Shia had a psycho Maleficent-esq personality considering she overthrows the kingdom because of highschool level problems (Maleficent did all she did because she didnt get invited to a party, and she was still a great villain). Otherwise this plot is just gonna be too dumb.

 

[corn_fest]

Man, I told myself I'd never buy a Musou game, even if it was Zelda-skinned...

those character models though

She's obviously controlled by Ganon

 

[thekonamicode]

My wife just randomly told me she was really excited about this game last night. Something tells me it will sell a million copies.

 

[Protagonist Jake]

I would actually drop the controller and walk out of my room

Better make sure you have a pillow on the floor.

 

[Gartooth]

Don't really see a need to get hyped for this game yet. Playable Impa sounds cool but that's about it. Don't like the character designs in this game, they're overly complex and look like they came out of modern Final Fantasy. Shia is especially a terrible design and even worse given that she is one of the main antagonists.

 

[MagiusNecros]

She's obviously controlled by Ganon

Should be a ridiculous mind control chain of Veran to Vaati to Ganon to Demise with a random Majora's Mask bouncing off the walls.

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Avatar Change!

 

[dampflokfreund]

Besides of these stupid bokoblins from Skyward Sword, the art direction of the game is fantastic. I'd like to see Zelda U take a similar direction

 

[Bullza2o]

Wow I never thought I'd be interested in a musou game until now.

Konami to announce Zelda Love plus

With Zelda, Shiek, Impa and Shia as love interests, bonus character Samus.

 

[Protagonist Jake]

and some fries so I dont waste all the salt

 

[Tom_Cody]

Its zelda u, meltdowns everywhere

On that topic, the art style of Hyrule Warriors increases my confidence that Zelda U is going to look more like Wind Waker and Skyward Sword than Twilight Princess.

Putting this art style in HW serves the purpose of appeasing fans who prefer that style.

 

[Koppai]

Sweet, Impa from Skyward Sword. That's one of my favorite Nintendo character designs in ages.

They're indeed taking some liberties huh

I bet its censored in the western versions.

 

[ArchedThunder]

I bet its censored in the western versions.

"They" won't be.

Looks completely awesome. I'm loving some of the environments and the use of color:
