REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–It’s time to fight alongside more than a dozen recognizable characters from The Legend of Zelda series to save Hyrule from a menacing new force. It’s time to dive into a crossover unlike anything Nintendo has ever done before, combining the vast universe of The Legend of Zelda franchise with the breathless fast-paced action perfected by the Dynasty Warriors games. On Sept. 26, it’s time for Hyrule Warriors.

Launching exclusively for the Wii U console, Hyrule Warriors lets players unleash the full power of iconic characters like Link, Zelda and Ganondorf, as they cut down legions of enemies on massive battlefields in familiar settings from The Legend of Zelda series like Hyrule Field, Death Mountain and Skyloft, as well as new locations created specifically for the game. The frenetic action of the Dynasty Warriors franchise blends beautifully with The Legend of Zelda series to create a unique hybrid that feels as seamless as it does bold.

Eurogamer has published a new interview with Hyrule Warriors producer Hisashi Koinuma, Team Ninja boss Yosuke Hayashi, and Koei Tecmo exec and Omega Force leader Akihiro Suzuki. The discussion naturally included more talk of the Wii U game, as well as topics like working with Nintendo again (plus Mario interest?!), and even Star Wars.

You’ll find a few excerpts from Eurogamer’s interview below. Head on over here for the full thing.

Koei Tecmo showed a first look at Volga and Wizzro during a (very low-quality) stream at TGS. Both will be playable following the release of an upcoming update. Check out the footage above!

Nintendo of America has followed up on announcements made earlier today regarding Hyrule Warriors’ DLC.

Like Europe and Japan, all four packs are planned for North America. Players will be able to purchase a season pass for $19.99. In doing so, they’ll receive access to the Dark Link costume as a bonus.

Nintendo of America tweeted today’s news a few minutes ago:

The Zelda tributes continue on the European Wii U eShop! This time around, the store has been updated with music straight out of Hyrule Warriors. Check it out in the video above.

Nintendo has quickly followed up with a confirmation of Hyrule Warriors’ new playable characters for Europe. On October 16, players will be able to download Cia, Volga, and Wizzro for free.

The first of four DLC packs will also be available on the same day. By pre-ordering, you’ll have immediate access to Dark Link.
