Hyrule Warriors News
So with E3 just around the corner we’re already getting a lot of new information about the upcoming game Hyrule Warriors. This crossover between Dynasty Warriors and Legend of Zelda has many fans wondering what kind of game this will be and has millions of fans eagerly waiting for more information.
We know a little more about the series. First of all we know via twitter that the game will feature Zelda voice acting so they are not going to do anything crazy like make Link talk. That’s a huge relief. Second we have reason to believe that this game is going to lean closer to Dynasty Warriors gameplay rather than Legend of Zelda with this comment from Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma: “There wouldn’t be a reason for making it a Warriors [game] otherwise, right? I wanted Tecmo Koei to make a Zelda game that I can’t make. And for this reason, I asked them to ‘give it more of a Warriors approach.” This may or may not work well. Sure it does add a unique entry to the series but it also may give the impression that this is simply a knock off of the series. We’ll just have to play the game to be sure.
I’m still really excited for the game; however, with such a change to the series comes great risk. The Legend of Zelda series changed its format one time with Legend of Zelda II and over 20 years later Nintendo will try to drastically change the format a second time. Will this go over well is hard to say but without a doubt the game will be exciting. The question is, will it be Zelda?
