That's it, Tecmo-Koei finally updated the official website with screenshots/artworks from this week's Famitsu: you'll find everything there!

As you can see, the theme is Skyward Sword (SS maps, DLC costumes, items...)... and a bit of The Wind Waker, yup.

DLC costumes:

Character profiles:

Fi

Fi is the spirit of the "Goddess Sword" sealed inside the Statue of the Goddess in Skyloft. Once the worlds became fused together, Fi was transported from the world of Skyward Sword into the world of Hyrule Warriors.

With extensive knowledge and a highly analytical mind, Fi thinks things through logically and offers advice and wisdom to whoever holds the sword. Its body is made of a blue, metal-like material. Although it has the appearance of a young girl, Fi is genderless and does not have emotions.

Fi floats and moves in the air, and transforms into a sword to attack.

Ghirahim

Ghirahim is the Demon Lord who tried to resurrect his master; the leader of the demons who was sealed away.

He is enormously proud of himself, and vain about his own appearance.
He may appear to be formal and polite at first, but once he loses his temper, his brutal and cruel nature emerges.

He attacks with multiple knives in the air, or transforms himself into a giant blade to slash his enemy in a single sweep. He is skilled with swords of all kind, and also good at confusing his enemies with his teleportation ability and by summoning demons. When he loses his composure, he transforms to enhance his power and increase his attack abilities.


The Imprisonned

His entire body is covered in hard, scale-like protrusions. On top of his head you can see the stake that was once used to seal him away, but due to his massive size, you won't be able to attack it directly. There are, however, some soft, white areas at the tips of his toes....

The dark beast who was imprisoned in the Sealed Grounds in the world of Skyward Sword. He is believed to have the power to lead the world to destruction.

The Imprisoned is a massive, mountainous beast whose heavy stomping creates powerful shockwaves that can blow away anything nearby.

Ghirahim's got swag.

 

[Lord Ghirahim]

Finally.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

dat ass

 

[random25]

Woah...cool! Skyward Sword love!

So, is Ghirahim playable?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

A bit of Twilight Princess did you mean? Nothing WW I can see.

 

[Faustek]

I'm glad KT(Omega Force and Team Ninja) is making this game. Gives me hope it'll actually be good instead of just a fanservice game.

Now let's hope they'll add the blacksmith

 

[tonyh24613]

A bit of Twilight Princess did you mean? Nothing WW I can see.

Zelda's new weapon is baton.

 

[Tenki]

Now waiting for the new trailers.

 

[Kiote]

My Money is on Next Update is Ocarina of Time Characters.

 

[Sgt.McTigerbuns]

A bit of Twilight Princess did you mean? Nothing WW I can see.

Zelda fights using the wind waker. I think pic is incoming.

 

[Salih]

When will they finally announce at least one male playable character?

 

[Nanashrew]

Aww yis

 

[MisterHero]

Skyward Sword Link is supposed to be right-handed!

BOO HISS

 

[Akiller]

 

[dan2026]

This is a really derpy looking monster.

 

[Nanashrew]

HNNNNNNNNGGGG

 

[L~A]

Zelda's new weapon is baton.

It's the actual Wind Waker actually, at least that's how it was referred to in the Famitsu magazine.

Ok, all pics should be in the OP now

 

[Akiller]

HNNNNNNNNGGGG

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

HNNNNNNNNGGGG

Beautiful design.

Amiibo please!

 

[Aβydoς]

Ghirahim is absolutely awesome. Hope he's playable (with Zant).

 

[Hastati]

HNNNNNNNNGGGG

Yeah. Zelda's design in this game is fantastic. Almost feels like a hybrid between the seriousness of Twilight Princess Zelda and the playfulness and charm of Skyward Sword's.

Falling in love with this game with each update! If it's at least as good as WO3 with perhaps a bit higher IQ and polish I'll be very happy.

Edit: Also, that cat gif is amazing. What the hell is up with cats.

It misses some evil characters images.

 

[mclem]

So, is Ghirahim playable?

Officially no, he's not in the playable section of the webpage. That said, though, it's a Warriors game, and as such I'd be very surprised if the villains weren't playable in *some* form.

 

[Nanashrew]

I know. She's probably the most gorgeous Zelda to date.

 

[Zomba13]

Awwww yeah SS Zelda (best Zelda) costume.

 

[Son Of D]

Woah...cool! Skyward Sword love!

So, is Ghirahim playable?

Whilst not confirmed yet I wouldn't be surprised. Even if the villains have no story I expect them to be bonus characters you can play in Free Mode once you complete the story.

 

[marc^o^]

It misses some evil characters images.

These pics. I'm not sure if I'll like this game, but now I need it.

 

[Frodo]

How many times will I have to kill it this time?

 

[Mistle]

best update so far imo

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Those costumes reaffirm how great the character designs in Skyward Sword were.

 

[Feltrol]

This game gets better and better.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Looks so awesome!

Woah...cool! Skyward Sword love!

So, is Ghirahim playable?

Nothing compared yet, but hopefully.

Also, don't count on every villain being playable.

 

[Busaiku]

How many times will I have to kill it this time?

However many characters there are.
Could be dozens.

 

[Shinta]

Pre-order probability went from 89% to 100% because of this thread.

I'm buying a Dynasty Warriors game on day 1. It's actually happening.

 

[Mistle]

being able to play without a scarf is the best thing yet

 

[Frodo]

However many characters there are.
Could be dozens.

The horror!

 

[Nanashrew]

Was the Sacred Bow from Skyward Sword mentioned in Famitsu?

 

[Aostia]

I love the Imrpisoned and its atmoshpere so much...can't wait for this game!
Plus, Girahim and Zant are two of my favourite videogame characters evah!

 

[Shinta]

I'm calling it now people. Fi is probably going to be my main.

!!!!

 

[Faustek]

Whoever said Team Ninja can only make boobs and Bishies... Well hahaha! This looks amazing.

 

[jediyoshi]

OTP

 

[Neiteio]

Now there's a princess who appears deeply troubled by the horrific bloodshed ruining her kingdom

Spoiler

She's so hot

 

[Smiles and Cries]

this game


wow

 

[Nanashrew]

I really like this shot

 

[DaSorcerer7]

"There is a 100% chance you will sleep with me tonight"

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Wow Girihim is FABULOUS!

 

[L~A]

Ok, now ALL pics should be in the OP (including those from the website sub-sections).

 

[timetokill]

Man this is looking great.

Link swinging around that huge column with the gauntlets like from OOT is amazing

 

[Griss]

As someone who really dislikes the new Zelda design I'm delighted with those alt costumes.

Rest of the game looks more ridiculous by the day. Gonna be a must buy. Who would have thought I'd ever say that in any form about a Warriors game. I was so upset when this was announced, lol. Shows what I know.

Spoiler

I reserve the right to decimate Nintendo for this decision if the game turns out to play poorly.
