7. 2 player mode where one person is on the GamePad, while another is on the TV. When playing alone the GamePad acts as a menu.

11. Zelda series’ spin attack appears instead of the Musou Ranbu (?) of the musou franchise.
12. Bombs make an appearance, won’t just be used for throwing at enemies.
13. Impa, a captain of the Royal Army, appears as a playable character wielding a giant long sword.
14. Several other characters are playable too. Aonuma was surprised by how many.

Looks like a Dynasty Warriors game, yes.

Interesting, being a Zelda Fanatic I'll surely be purchasing the edition with the Clock or whatever it is.
Decent release date too. Hopefully E3 shows off a lot more.

 

[T Link7]

Link looks pretty I hope the new Zelda game will have Link looking somewhat like this, because it's similar to that tech demo we saw ages ago, which I liked! I guess will find out soon enough ^^

 

[PolloDiablo]

I couldn't care less for the Dinasty Warriors franchise... but maybe this will end up being a really fun game.

 

[Taleweaver]

I gotta admit I'm interested. 4-swords adventure was pretty fun, and a 2-player co-op beat'm up game is also a + in my book.

 

[master801]

Would love to see more game play of this game to get me hooked.

 

[TheCasketMan]

Looks like a Dynasty Warriors game, yes.

With Zelda gameplay/control mechanics. I say this game has me as hype as Zelda U. I'm a fan of Dynasty Warriors.

 

[BvanBart]

Hehe Boobz in Zelda games!?? This is going to be interesting haha

 

[pokefloote]

I came here to say "boobs in a Zelda game?" as well.

Game looks nice, especially if you're a fan of the musou games.

I hope they tie this in to the missing "war" in the ALTTP timeline that they mention in the games lore, but seeing how they keep saying it's just a side story and not mainline, it's probably just that.

 

[Gahars]

Story is Link an in-training soldier must rescue the Princess Zelda from the witch Shia who has been turned evil somehow.

I wonder who's behind this plot.

 

[Bladexdsl]

Link looks pretty ^^

who gives a fuck about link that's not what i'm looking at! nintendo had absolutely no hand in this

I hope they tie this in to the missing "war" in the ALTTP timeline that they mention in the games lore, but seeing how they keep saying it's just a side story and not mainline, it's probably just that.

i doubt it this will be a spinoff game like links crossbow training

[hhs]

Shia? She's uh givin' me a Stalfo, ya kn'aimean?

 

[KingVamp]

Princess Ruto

I'm already sold on the game.

 

[Hells Malice]

It just ain't Dynasty Warriors without unnecessary amounts of boobs.
I was a bit iffy about the title...buuut

Sold.

EDIT: I'd buy 3 copies if I can fight Lu Bu as Link. Just sayin'.

nintendo take notes this is what we want in the next zelda

 

[Arras]

Somehow Link looks even more girly than usual:

 

[p3rand0r]

the last screen sold me

 

[PolloDiablo]

In the games' universe, Shia is a witch who was responsible for protecting the equilibrium of the Triforce. However, she has a crush on Link, a soldier in training, and grows jealous of his relationship with the Princess Zelda. Shia becomes overcome by wickedness and with her two minions, Valga & Wizro in tow, she throws Hyrule into a state of chaos.

cool, teenage melodrama

Spoiler

I really don't care for the plot
