Hyrule Warriors has become a fairly successful sub-series for The Legend of Zelda, but prior to its release, Nintendo of America was apparently concerned about the game.
That news comes from Kit Ellis, who has many years of experience working at the company. He mentioned during the latest Kit & Krysta podcast episode how people within Nintendo of America were worried about the quality of Hyrule Warriors and the possibility of it dropping the status of Zelda. Some even felt that it shouldn’t be released in North America.
