– At least 50 enemies on-screen at once
– Most of them don’t attack
– Most stand still until Link strikes them
– Y button: weak attack
– X button: slower but more powerful heavy attack
– Can do combos such as YYYX or button mash
– B button: dodge
– A button: special attack
– Different weapons in the game
– Link throws a bunch of bombs at once
– Can equip one item to the Zr button such as a health bottle or bombs
– D-pad cycles through items
– ZL: guard
– When you find the bombs, enemies stop attacking and the game cuts to Link doing his classic treasure finding animation where he holds the bombs to the sky
– Zelda has a similar animation
– Link’s spinning sword technique is flashier and knocks enemies up in the air
– Link completes the move by slamming enemies to the ground with a downward stab
– His special move (aka Musou Attack) is a spinning slash with more reach. Special moves are charged when you attack enemies
– While Link is fighting, Hylian Troops also fight
– They don’t mind if you accidentally hit them in the heat of battle
– Impa is in the demo and she gives Link tips
– Tutorials also have the classic “hey, listen” line when they pop up
– Castle Keep has a power up bomb
– This is a one use item with a huge blast radius
– Link can also collect Rupees dropped by enemies and glowing hearts to restore his life
– E3 demo ends with a King Dodongo boss fight who appears at the North Square
– King Dodongo breaths a cone of fire Link has to dodge
– The trick to beating him is throwing bombs in his mouth when he inhales
– Then Link can follow up with a combo ending with a fatal downward slash
– Zelda uses a glowing rapier to fight
– Has a combo where she darts left and right
– Zelda has 3 orbs
– You can charge these by pressing heavy attack and then use orbs as combo finishers like creating a golden triangle on the ground that damages all of the enemies inside it
– Zelda also has a combo ending with a barrage of arrows from a golden bow
– Zelda’s special move is a charged bow strike that knocks enemies back
– Lizardos was the first enemy with a weak point and if you hit him on the head you’ll knock him down
– Fill up your Focus Spirit meter with magic jars
– When this is full you can press R to get a speed and attack burst
– Your character will glow yellow and get a new combo too
– Zelda can use three elemental magic spells as her Focus Spirit combo
– Hyrule Warriors says “Zelda defeated Moblin” when you knock out a general

Information leaking out of this week’s Famitsu confirms new playable characters for Hyrule Warriors. Princess Zelda will be included on the roster, as will Midna from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Zelda appears to come equipped with a sword made with magic, and a bow can come into play as well. Meanwhile, Midna fights by using her hair and summoning the wolf of a shadow produced by magic.

Famitsu also touches on other things such as how King Dodongo and Lizalfos are in Hyrule Warriors. There’s also multiplayer with one person playing on the GamePad while the other plays on the TV.

Hyrule Warriors won’t feature any major voice acting, according to the game’s official Twitter account. Players will instead by presented with the standard types of voices that the Zelda series has been known for.

“Each character’s voice is modeled after the Zelda universe,” a message posted on the game’s Japanese Twitter account states. “It will have that ‘Hey! Listen!’ kind of feeling.”

I imagine that most won’t be surprised by this news. Still, I’m curious: how do you guys feel about the lack of expanded voice acting?

Tecmo Koei and Nintendo are not currently planning a Wii U bundle for Hyrule Warriors in Japan, according to the game’s official Twitter account.

A bundle was ruled out for the time being when one fan asked about the possibility. Instead, the Twitter account advised fans to pick up an alternative bundle with the high-profile title Mario Kart 8 launching in just a matter of days. “Mario Kart 8 comes out next week, so please know it’s important to purchase a bundle early,” the Twitter account wrote.

Hyrule Warriors hits Japan on August 14.
