Nintendo Direct

Today’s Hyrule Warriors Direct confirms a limited edition version of the Wii U game for Europe. Nintendo will be releasing this special version of Hyrule Warriors that includes Link’s scarf, which is included in the Japanese Treasure Box. Only participating retailers will offer the Hyrule Warriors Limited Edition. Additionally, Australia and New Zealand will also be receiving this version.

Today’s Hyrule Warriors Direct closed things out with one more character reveal: Ganondorf. He’ll be playable along with several other notable characters from the Zelda series.

Ganondorf’s signature weapon is his Demon Sword.

A new “Adventure Mode” has been revealed for Hyrule Warriors. This special feature combines the worlds of the original Zelda with Hyrule Warriors.

In Adventure Mode, players will encounter certain challenges to open new blocks on the classically-styled Zelda map. Characters and weapons can be unlocked here.

New playable characters have been confirmed for Hyrule Warriors, courtesy of today’s Nintendo Direct presentation. Zant and Ghirahim will both be included on the roster. The two previously appeared in Zelda games.

Zant’s signature weapon is his schimitar, which he swings around. Meanwhile, Ghirahim’s signature weapon is his Demon Blade – just like in Skyward Sword he will be a savant in sword play.

The Hyrule Warriors Direct will begin one hour from now (11 PM ET / 8 PM PT). Our last couple of formats have worked pretty well, so we’ll post tidbits from the presentation below. If there are major announcements (like new characters), we’ll make separate posts as well.

Note: today’s presentation will be roughly 26 minutes.
