I'm quite partial the the similarly named, but much cooler "Warriors of Hyrule" or "Warriors of Zelda". The former being the better name, but the latter being more directly linked to the Zelda name.

Whose to say Shia isn't Demise's minion?
Aren't villains constantly hijacked in Zelda games now?
Though, Zelda can't exist before SS.
"Link sets off to rescue Princess Zelda, who has been kidnapped by the evil witch Shia."
why :/
This means the game will probably be structured like recent DW games meaning you can only pick a character that takes part in the battle or worse force you to play with a specific one. Let's say there's a stage where Link is absent, Impa is in charge of infiltrating some enemy fortress which means you have to play Impa and cannot choose Link because of story purposes.
I prefer the oldschool style of being able to pick any character even if it doesn't make sense story wise to play the entire campaign as an officer who dies mid-game. I mean imagine playing as Zelda while she's kidnapped, makes no sense but who cares.

Yes. Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper even had it with one player playing on the GamePad and the other getting the full TV screen.
So one major game released each month? That would be great, but look at how sparse the new releases have been in the last few month on the Wii U... I'm not holding my breath.
Maybe. The way I see it, because they've invented a new villain for this game, it frees up story-wise any existing Zelda characters to participate as protagonists. Even Ganondorf might get in on the action.
Except Zelda, of course... maybe she'll be unlockable after you beat the game
Maybe that rumor about the next zelda being a sequel to twilight princess is this lol
She better be playable. I'll be disappointed if she is not!

Sweet, hopefully it comes out sooner rather than later here in Australia.

You are right on the money here. My fiance and I are Zelda fans and we are getting this, no matter what ratings or reviews it gets.
Good point. Zelda will probably have her own missions a la Peach parts in Paper Mario, maybe in the form of flashbacks. So it's not like she won't be playable at all in story mode, but yeah I don't like this structure, I want to play the entire thing with any character.

Come onnnn conquest mode! Daddy needs to built his own Hyrule Kingdom and conquer the known world in his own dark image!
You're going to have a good time playing this in co-op.

Pretty sure that box is just a brief series retrospective.
yup, maybe it happens right after skyloft ascension into heaven, where zelda is now the mortal hylia on the surface together with the old hero.

The exact same thing happened last year.
Near drought for the first half of the year, then a game a month in the back half.
I'm still betting on X being delayed until next year. I expect Hyrule Warriors, Bayo 2, Smash, plus a couple of others we don't know about (and/or Yarn Yoshi) out this year though.

I think I recall seeing one of those 'in-depth' videos, and they spotted Zelda in the back with the same appearance as Twilight Princess Zelda.
edit: yeah there she is. I would post the picture but I'm not sure which sites are taboo here.

The NFC game, whatever it is, will be launching this year.

It's interesting that, even though Impa's design is from Skyward Sword, her hair is white (as in Ocarina of Time) instead of yellow,. I wonder if that means anything.

Probably that, much like every zelda, she's a different time period's impa.
Why not Skyward sword link though?
I bet the playable Characters will be Mosou Link, Link Between Worlds Link, Skyward Sword Link, Spirit Tracks Link, Twilight Princess Link, Wind Waker Link, Oracle of Link Majora's Mask Link, OOT Link, OOT Young Link, Link to the Past Link, Link's Awakening Link, Zelda II Link, Legend of Zelda Link, and finally, secret characters
Just kidding. I do wonder though who will be playable, Mosou games are known for having a large playable cast.

I liked mogmas and kikwis, though the parellas were horrible choices instead of the glorious zora.

Third party made games have been coming out like this for the past few years in Japan, compared to the longer wait for US titles from announcement. Sure it was announced a while ago, but we have seen nor heard anything of it since the initial announcement/gameplay clip. Now the next time we hear about it is three months before it drops. Thats pretty fast imo.
Compared to something first party made which they hype up for months before release. ala Mario Kart and Smash.
They could at least make her playable for the non-story modes.
Yes, but they don't start development when it's announced...

Maybe yoshi yarn get the boot. Platformers are all over the Wii U. They could have a rest, if there was one to happen.
We don't know if there's a gap yet.

Have not gotten a date for US yet so we have no idea.
I hate that we still don't know almost everything about the game.
even the basci elements of DW series are still up in the air.
Multiple playable characters? story-mode and "dream-mode"? split screen (hopefully 1 on tv and 1 on gamepad)? and so on...

We don't have a date yet for anywhere but JP. We'll probably get one at e3.
Musou/Warrior games are fun anyway, some people hate them because they are -always- the same, and I can understand that, but if you are going to play just a single game, or once every few years, then that's a non-issue.
Also, although the combat is not complex or super hard like Ninja Gaiden, DMC or Bayonetta, but it is simple and fun enough to enjoy beating thousands of enemies.
They've already confirmed that EAD's Zelda will be at E3.
This is just a fun spinoff.

Don't worry.
Steve Blum will voice Link.
