The latest issue of Famitsu magazine has revealed that Hyrule Warriors will be coming to Japan on August 14th. The game based on The Legend of Zelda series and Tecmo Koei’s Warriors has yet to receive a western release date, but it’s likely to come this year.

I'm actually pretty interested in this game. Looks like good fun.

LOOK

 

IMPA

 

Anyway, I can't wait for this game.

Wait I'm seeing a screenshot of link with subtitles under it,does that mean Link will talk in Hyrule Warriors?

 

If that's so,can't wait to hear:EXCUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSE ME PRINCESS, being referenced in a cutscene

What if this is a prequel to Skyward Sword? if this is canon.

Doubt it. Another character is talking and the camera is focused on Link to capture his expression.

Damn the art direction took a huge turn in development based off these scans!

Also, here's a list of Story Details and extras:

 

 

Premium box will be available for at least 10,000 yen (exact amount unknown)

Retail release is at least 7,000 yen (exact amount unknown)

Producers: Hisashi Koinuma, Yosuke Hayashi

Supervisor: Eiji Aonuma

Developers: ω-Force / Team NINJA

Link sets off to rescue Princess Zelda

Zelda has been kidnapped by the evil witch Shia

Link, Impa, Shia introduced in the magazine

Some of Shia’s minions shown as well

Shia might be under control of a force of dark magic (not clear)

Locations include Hyrule Field

Will have unexpected playable characters

What if this is a prequel to Skyward Sword? if this is canon.

Aonuma's supervision may have a big impact on whether or not it is, but it seems awfully close and by the sound of the Story Details, it's also a canon title.

now I wonder when Hyrule Warriors is going to be released outside of Japan.

This would be cool.

This will be the best zelda spinoff game I will play when it gets released.

How does this game have a release date but 2.5 remix doesn't...?  The struggle is real...

I really look forward to play this game and I really hope its part of the Zelda timeline

Which one do you mean? The one with the green subtitles? That kinda looks like something from TP, not from Hyrule Warriors, and if it is from HW, it probably is someone speaking with Link, while the camera is focusing on Link's reaction.

 

What if this is a prequel to Skyward Sword? if this is canon.

 

I think it could be it, that Impa is quite similar to the SS one, and the Link to the Manga one, but a Princess Zelda being present, would contradict what HH says of the Princess of the Kingdom of the land of Hyrule, being named Zelda because of their godly ancestor from SS.

More scans of the Famitsu interview have been uploaded.

 

 

These two are the more interesting ones to me. The other scans are filled with tons of information from the producers and Aonuma.

 

Link's actually a soldier in training. As a small notice:

He's not wearing the tunic or hat here. He's wearing the blue Soldier's uniform.

Also...Impa's a playable character and there's a 2 Player mode where one player is on the gamepad and the other has the whole TV screen.

 

More details are being translated from the interview.

Our new antagonist, Shia is supposed to protect the equilibrium of the Triforce. However, she has feelings for Link and due to her jealousy over Link and Zelda's relationship, she succumbs to wickedness and kidnaps Zelda with the help of her minions Valga and Wizzro.

that is what me "oh s**t" let's hope no Link x Zelda troll *looks at Skyward Sword* but now i think this is not a Skyward Sword prequel, but you never know just have to wait for E3.
