More photos and details from the Hyrule Warriors art book

A whole bunch of additional images have emerged from the Japanese Hyrule Warriors art book. You can find the latest shots in the gallery above.
Along with photos, we’ve translated some of the more interesting bits from the art book.
First, here’s what was said about Link’s design:
We had many different ideas for the concept “Link running around the battlefield”. For example, we considered Japanese style armor and heavy armor, but in order to make dashing around the plains look pretty, we decided on the simple design with a blue scarf. This scarf can be worn only by a person who leads Hyrule’s royal army, so it is a special proof of one’s worth.
And Cia’s design:
Since Cia is Lana’s polar opposite with her evil heart, her main colors are also the opposite of that of Lana. By having noble metals on her sexy body, Cia’s greedy nature was expressed visually.
Lastly, Impa’s design:
In this game, in order to strengthen the Japanese style look of the Sheikah tribe, Japanese style armor was taken as one motif. Design’s details took some inspiration from Impa in Skyward Sword as well.
That’s not all from the art book. Head past the break for information about weapons and a few more story bits. I know some people tend to be very sensitive about spoiler-like information, so keep that in mind before continuing on below!

Some Hyrule Warriors players experiencing a few technical issues
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 36 Comments
Hyrule Warriors appears to be suffering from freezing issues – at least for some players. A few users have taken to Twitter and made note of the game locking up at different occasions such as in co-op mode, on the results screen, and even the title screen.
Some Hyrule Warriors players have also encountered “processing drop” issues (seemingly a dip in frame rate). This may occur while slaying multiple enemies at once, resulting in the FPS being cut in half.
On the bright side, Koei Tecmo is aware of some of the problems affecting Hyrule Warriors. The game’s Twitter account recently said that a few bug reports had been received and the team planned on working through the Japanese holiday this past week.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 23 Comments
A tweet published on the official Japanese Hyrule Warriors Twitter page earlier today revealed that Koei Tecmo would be supporting the game with “long-term updates and a large-scale mode expansion”. Thanks to a listing on the eShop, we have a few more details as to what’s planned for the future.
The listing states that more characters, weapons, and scenarios are planned. There’s also the word “??” in the listing, which implies that there could be even more things on the way. It’ll be interesting to see what happens in the future!

Hyrule Warriors to be supported with “long-term updates and a large-scale mode expansion”
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Hyrule Warriors’ development is complete, and the game has now been released in Japan. However, Koei Tecmo doesn’t intend to end its support anytime soon.
On the official Japanese Hyrule Warriors Twitter account, a message posted states that the game will receive “long-term updates and a large-scale mode expansion”.
Here’s the full translation:
“New information to commemorate the release. Hyrule Warriors is a “festive Zelda title” that was made with much effort. In order to have you folks enjoy it for longer, we’re currently planning long-term updates and a large-scale mode expansion. We’ve received a few bug reports, so we’ll be working on that as well.”
“For these reasons, the development staff will be working in the midst of Obon (Japanese holiday). Keep it a secret from everyone!”
