This week’s Nintendo Direct showed a good portion of what’s included in the Hyrule Warriors Majora’s Mask Pack. We got a look at new playable characters and the new Adventure mode map. Additionally, new costumes were teased through silhouettes.

Now we know for sure just what those costumes are. Lana is receiving a new Skull Kid outfit, while there will be new Ocarina of Time outfits for Impa and Sheik respectively.

Technobubble published an interview with Zelda director/producer Eiji Aonuma and Koei Tecmo producer Yosuke Hayashi before the launch of Hyrule Warriors last year. While it’s a few months old, the discussion contains several noteworthy comments and we wanted to share those with you.

We hear, for example, that Tingle was considered for Hyrule Warriors as a playable character, but Aonuma advised the team against including him. Aonuma commented on the possibility of other Nintendo franchises seeing crossovers with the Zelda series, noted how he’s interested in applying what Hyrule Warriors did with bosses that move across the map for Zelda Wii U, and touched on Zelda remakes. On Hayashi’s side, he spoke about the possibility of Hyrule Warriors 2 and a few other topics.

Head past the break for several excerpts from the interview.

We’ve posted shots from the Hyrule Warriors art book before, but Destructoid has picked out design that looks particularly interesting. It’s not entirely clear what’s going on, though it seems like Link is cutting off a Bulblin’s arm. The woman in the design was featured in at least one more piece of finished art.

The DLC costumes for Hyrule Warriors can now be purchased in North America. You can grab the Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Demon King Costume Packs for $0.99 each.

The first three DLC sets offer new costumes for Link and Zelda. The Demon King set, on the other hand, provides new costumes for Ganondorf.

Players could obtain the Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword packs as pre-order bonuses. Ganondorf’s DLC was made available as an early bonus to Club Nintendo members.

Thanks to Aaron W for the tip.
