Some Zelda news of a different kind through today’s daily screenshot, as Sakurai explains:

Here’s Link in an outfit based on his ordinary clothes in Skyward Sword! The art style looks a little different, but the actual clothing model is still his usual tunic.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has previously spoken about unifying its console and handheld development. The company hasn’t said if we’ll ever see a system that embodies both types of hardware, but Nintendo wants its systems to take advantage of the same type of “architecture”.

Shigeru Miyamoto recently commented about what this may mean for the future while speaking with Kotaku. The site went a bit further and even asked if there could ever be a day in which games could be made across Nintendo devices/teams making projects that could be played on the TV/on the go.

Here’s what was shared:

Can you believe that the N64 has been around for 18th years? Yes, it’s true! The console originally came out on this very day in Japan, 18 years ago.

The N64 provided us all with some truly memorable experiences. Zelda and Mario both made their jump into 3D for the first time. Rare produced several standout titles like Banjo Kazooie and Conker’s Bad Fur Day. And let’s not forget Paper Mario, GoldenEye 007, Star Fox 64, Mario Kart 64, and Super Smash Bros. There were more fantastic games as well!

This week’s issue of Famitsu has another update on Hyrule Warriors. We have news about a pair of new playable characters in the game as well as ones that will be making return appearances from the Zelda series.

First, Famitsu reveals two new playable characters. The first, as far as I can tell, might be Agitha from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. There’s also someone called “Lana”, though it’s unclear who this might be at present. Original character? Princess Lana from the Captain N: The Game Master animated TV series? It probably wouldn’t be wise for me to speculate since the information isn’t detailed. Take this part of the update with a grain of salt for now.

Aside from playable characters, Famitsu also confirms that Argorok – who we’ve seen previously – and Zant from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be appearing in Hyrule Warriors.

We should have more (and clearer) information soon. Only preliminary details have leaked out of this week’s Famitsu so far.

A new Etrian Odyssey game could be on the way, based on a newly opened teaser site from Atlus. You can find the page here.

On the site, Atlus included a picture of a giant tree and the title, “This is not broccoli #ATLUS.” The tree and font both seem like they could be connected to Etrian Odyssey. We should find out in a few days!
