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.
