Hyrule Warriors will launch next year. Note that this is not related to the next core entry in the Zelda franchise – that one remains in development.
Presentation will begin at 9 AM ET / 6 AM PT (about 20 minutes from now). The North American broadcast is said to last about 33 minutes while the Japanese stream is 49 minutes.
Updates will be posted throughout the presentation.
Asa Butterfield, the star of Ender’s Game, has quite a bit of experience with Nintendo gaming.
Butterfield told EDGE this month that he played Zelda: Wind Waker and Mario Kart: Double Dash on the GameCube. Wind Waker HD is what’s motivating him to pick up a Wii U, he said.
Butterfield’s comments in full:
My brother and I would play Driver and Metal Gear Solid on PS1, but the first console I had myself was a GameCube. I’d play The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Mario Kart: Double Dash for hours. The HD version of Wind Waker is what makes me want to get a Wii U.
