Remember those retailer exclusive Hyrule Warriors costumes? By pre-ordering the game at Amazon, Best Buy, or GameStop, players could receive Link and Zelda costumes based on Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Ocarina of Time respectively.

Koei Tecmo has now revealed that these costumes will be available for purchase – at least in Japan – starting on December 18.

Here’s the full breakdown of content:

“Courage” Costume Set

– 400 yen
– Includes Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, and Ocarina of Time Link costumes

“Wisdom” Costume Set

– 400 yen
– Includes Skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, and Ocarina of Time Zelda costumes

“Power” Costume Set

– 300 yen
– Includes Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time Ganondorf costumes

Nintendo hasn’t said anything about selling this DLC in the west, but I’d say it’s likely that the costumes will be offered in North America and Europe next month as well.

Thanks to David S for the tip.

Thanks to a new online preview from Famitsu, we have another round of screenshots and details for The Legend of Legacy. Today’s content, which is focused on battles, can be found below.

– 7 playable characters and 7 weapon types
– Sword, great sword, axe, spear, staff, bow and arrow, shield
– Because each character lacks specific weapon characteristics, you can equip any weapon to any of the seven characters
– Equip weapons in the menu screen
– Each weapon makes use of a “Battle Technique” for its basic attack
– Techniques range from simultaneously striking several opponents, to striking a single opponent several times, to preventing an enemy attack and responding with a counterattack, etc
– Developer FuRyu says there will be a great variety of these techniques
– Battles have a concept of “Position”
– This represents the role of each character
– Through the game’s “Roll Shuffle” system, players are recommended to create several formations beforehand so they can easily switch up their roles when the battle situation calls for it
