Apologies for the quality. This was captured during Koei Tecmo’s stream, so there’s not much we can do!

Update: New DLC has been revealed as well. Koei Tecmo will release Dark Link, plus four new packs: the Master Quest pack, Majora’s Mask pack, Twilight Princess pack, and Ganon pack.

Koei Tecmo announced three new playable characters for Hyrule Warriors during a stage event at the Tokyo Game Show today. Cia, Volga, Wizzro – three enemies in the game – will be available sometime in the future as roster additions.

At this very moment, Koei Tecmo is demoing Cia. We’ll have the footage on the site shortly (though it will be low-quality unfortunately).
