Introduction
A Great Warrior In The Zelda Universe!

Experience a new 'battle action game', born from a collaboration between Nintendo's puzzle-solving adventure game series 'The Legend of Zelda' and Tecmo Koei's 'Musou' series.
Starting with Link, players will be able to experience the game as numerous Zelda series characters set on familiar series locations.

Link Makes Light Work Of Problems!
Enjoy action not seen in most Zelda series' games as Link takes down large groups of enemies in Musou series' tradition as a 'Great Warrior'.
Of course, the game play retain's the Musou series' trademark simplicity and intuitiveness of its controls so anyone can enjoy taking down enemies as Link.

Play As Many Characters
Various characters from the Zelda series will be playable! Find your favourite and use them to fight the hordes!
Many characters and weapons from the Zelda franchise will appear as playable. You have control over the attacks, which have been beautiful and refreshingly presented using Wii U's graphics.

Combing The Best Parts of Zelda & Musou
We have used Zelda series systems like hearts for health and magic gauge, coupled with the playstyle of using items to take down bosses, and arranged them in a 'musou' context along with the music and sound effects that are tradition in the series.
It's a new world born from a combination of the the Zelda and the Musou molds.

Story
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 powers. 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...

Character profile translation by StreetsAhead :

Link,The Hero; Link is an exceptionally strong soldier in the Royal Army of Hyrule. The power of the Triforce of Bravery hides within. He is a kind individual who can speak with fairies and he has within him a strong sense of justify that makes hi firmly stands his ground against evil, even if they are stronger than he.

He mostly uses a nimble battle style that relies on footwork to mess with his opponents. In this game, he can make use of various weapons, but his main weapon will always be a speed-type sword.

Impa, Commanding Officer of the Hyrule Imperial Guard; Impa is the commanding officer of the Hyrule Imperial Guard. She is the 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.

Starting from pulling out her long sword back handed, she disposes of her enemies with exact precision in quick, feverish succession. She is a sword master, with precise movements and footwork.

Shia, The Black Witch; An evil witch, who had her good soul chased out of her by dark forces. She has a strong sense of self, clearly states her desires, and a provocative and aggressive personality. She wants to make the whole world hers, but especially she wants to make Link hers.

Wizro, The Dark Sorcerer; A ring that increased its power over many centuries by luring in numerous owners and absorbing their powers, Wizro was reborn as a sorcerer with Shia's dark magic. It has pledged allegiance to Shia, who is effectively its mother, however, it has a tendency to follow those in power thanks to its many experiences.

Wizro will attack with magic pulses like bullets, or magic from up above.

Valga, The Incandescent Evil Warrior; Valga is a close associate of Shia's. He traded his good soul for incredible strength in a deal with her. Differing from Wizro, Valga will face you head on like a true soldier, believing he can win. He looks for strong opponents and 'heats up' any battle he is in.

With his lance, reminiscent of a dragon's claw, and a bellowing war cry he will come at you with heavy blows repeatedly.

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

 

[Benzychenz]

Impa's design is so great.

Boob lady design is also great because boobs.

 

[Herb Alpert]

surpringsly hyped for this.

 

[CorvoSol]

Impa's new sword is some Biggoron stuff, man.

 

[blitzwolf215]

Impa looks awesome!!! We need a new trailer now.

 

[Pikma]

They're indeed taking some liberties huh

 

[Broritos]

I hope that floating thing is Vaati.

Also, I would have relations with that Impa.

 

[bobawesome]

This game has a lot of plot.

 

[nbnt]

Link looks weird.

 

[Aquamarine]

They're indeed taking some liberties huh

The Costume Set DLC will find even more creative ways to cover her boobs.

 

[enzo_gt]

Art looks okay. That grass texture is throwing me off though, especially considering the level of detail on everything else. A bit jarring.

 

[Adaren]

Each character page has multiple pictures that you can scroll between.

Also, Impa's design is making me surprisingly excited for this. Over-the-top campy action with Zelda characters sounds great.

Water!

 

[lewisgone]

Is that red eye thing another form of Vaati?!

Edit:

Cool.

 

[CorvoSol]

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

Pretty sure that's a new Impa design. Even if it does look a lot like SS's Impa.

 

[kuroneko0509]

That big katana lol

 

[Kissenkopf]

This will be the second the "Legend of Tits" thread.

So after rhis launched what is the chance to get a proper trailer soon? Would love to see the game in motion and if they use voice acting or not.

 

[MichaelFassbender]

Would have preferred Impa from the Oracle series. She'd be one hell of a bruiser.

 

[Big One]

Glad to get a confirmation that Impa is playable and more to come.

Not a fan of the villain design in this game. Looks too much like anime fanservice villain.

 

[Gormless Noodle]

They're indeed taking some liberties huh

I think that's the first Zelda game I've ever seen jugs like that in. I guess you can see Team Ninja's influence there.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

What are the new characters names?

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Looks ok I guess, but it'll probably be fun for like 20 minutes before it gets repetitive and boring. Wake me up when they show off Zelda U.

 

[Sandfox]

This game is looking pretty cool.

 

[Isotope]

So what DLC can we expect, aside from new characters and maybe some stages (Or is that the limit of what to expect)?

 

[Derphoof]

I'm liking what I see so far. Hopefully we get full details during the E3 Digital Event.

 

[Grampasso]

Impa... sold!

 

[Heyt]

Some of those bullshots look really good compared to the debut video.

 

[JoeM86]

I think that's the first Zelda game I've ever seen jugs like that in. I guess you can see Team Ninja's influence there.

Clearly you didn't play Twilight Princess

 

[Persona7]

I think that's the first Zelda game I've ever seen jugs like that in. I guess you can see Team Ninja's influence there.

twilight princess jugs

 

[mgs2master2]

japanese gaf, get to translating?

 

[bobawesome]

I hope that floating thing is Vaati.

Also, I would have relations with that Impa.

Spoiler

Shall we do it?

 

[Aquamarine]

I think that's the first Zelda game I've ever seen jugs like that in. I guess you can see Team Ninja's influence there.

they need to make a dead or alive xtreme: zelda version

 

[knkng]

I hope that floating thing is Vaati.

Some sort of variation on Wizzrobe, I think. Although the design looks like the guy (?) that collects Poes in Ocarina of Time.

 

[JoeM86]

This game does look really good. I'm really looking forward to it now

 

[Vaa]

More important... there's a freaking scarf in the Treasure Box !

 

[Big One]

What's the name of the two stages? Guessing one of them is Hyrule Field.

 

[tali'zorah84]

dat fairy fountain though???

 

[Litri]

Day 1, no doubt. I make the call.

 

[kittens]

Pretty sure that's a new Impa design. Even if it does look a lot like SS's Impa.

Yeah, I was referring to how much I've appreciated her original Skyward Sword design. This new take on the design is awesome, too!

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Breasts

 

[Hatchtag]

The first trailer looked really dis-interesting to me, but these recent screenshots seem a lot more interesting. Guessing there'll be a lot more info during E3.
Kinda odd that there's a very realistic chance of 3 Zelda games being shown (Hyrule Warriors, Zelda U, and possibly MM3D).

 

[Gormless Noodle]

Clearly you didn't play Twilight Princess

I did! But I mostly remember giant forehead guy from that

The memory of him blocked out anything jugs related I fear.

 

[jgminto]

I think Boob Lady's design is the worst thing to come out of Nintendo since the Zero suit.

 

[CorvoSol]

Kinda feel like Veran is an inspiration for this game's villainess? She certainly flaunts as much.

 

[bobawesome]

Breasts

Whoa there, pal. This is a nice, wholesome thread.

I love Impa's giant MH-esque sword.

 

[Benzychenz]

Playable Ganondorf will have a sword on his waist but will only fight with punches and kicks.

 

[KingSnake]

I really like the look of this. I wasn't expecting very much from a Zelda spin-off, so I'm happy with what I am seeing. I hope we see a trailer soon.

 

[CorvoSol]

Playable Ganondorf will have a sword on his waist but will only fight with punches and kicks.

And then taunt with his sword.

 

[L~A]

What are the new characters names?

Booby Princess : Shia.
Wizrobe-like dude/dudette : Wizuro
Volvagia-like dude : Valga.

 

[Qurupeke]

Shia will totally stand out as a character.
