HOLY SHEEEEIT.

That is unexpected as ****. Funny, just last night I was wondering how cool a Zelda game that was a proper hack and slash would be. I was already getting a Wii U when the new Zelda came out for it, but it looks like we'll be getting a proper game and this awesome spin-off. Day one.

My body is ready.

Can you play as anyone but Link?

Was thinking multiplayer when watching that.

A source tells me that Link is just one of the playable characters.

Looks meh. The bokoblins look way to weak/numerous.

Plus, I haven't been the biggest fan I've DW; I'd rather just have another Zelda game.

The combat if nothing else looks more fluid and stylized than the boring as **** stilted, robotic-feeling combat of DW.

Time to fap, and then rewind time and fap again.

You should try One Piece then.

Those animations are no different than what we have in Dynasty Warriors 8 that just came out a few months ago.

Hell, its probably the same damn engine.

That might be the graphic design choice and jiggle physics. The mechanics look identical to DW/WO/SW.

You and everybody in the world. Even Iwata felt the need to say "remember this is not a part of the Zelda series", it speaks volumes of how much we shoulde expect from the game.

I'm stoked, this will help hold me over til Zelda U comes out.

Hmm I dunno, not really sold on the idea. I think Zelda should keep making Zelda style adventure RPG games and let DW do its thing. Don't know what the point of this is, other than providing an arcady hack and slash with a zelda theme... Focus on a decent addition to the saga, not a time filler that will taint the franchise.

He said that so people wouldn't mistake this for Zelda U and freak out. It still looks interesting to me, the Bokoblins are plainly not going to be much more than the fodder enemy, anyway, as we see just from the trailer there are much more powerful enemies in game, and likely a lot more than we saw in a 1 minute trailer.

I just hope that 1) the story is good and 2) it is canon.

I've been an ardent Koei fan for well over a decade now, so I already know what I'll get as far as gameplay goes.

Their story-telling capabilites have also improved drastically the past few years.

Again, the fact that Iwata has to speak up to the community to explain this game is not the Zelda U game everyone is waiting for sounds like a disaster waiting to happen as misinformed buyers see this title in the stores.

Put this up in the Blue Oyster Bar, but figured it deserved to be here as well. Don't care if it's way too early for this, but hopeful characters to be playable in Hyrule Warriors:

Zelda
Bo
Ganondorf
Vaati
Midna
Aghanim

Off the top of my head.

Not sure I see how it's a time filler, unless you just mean our time. Zelda-U is still in production, and different teams are working on them. This game is not taking any resources away from the normal Zelda style, so I'm not seeing how this impacts Zelda-U in any way.

Do people think that this is somehow preventing other Zelda games from being made or something?

He means something that'll feed his Zelda fix until the Zelda-U comes out.

I'm not sure what everyone's so worried about, Nintendo always keeps an eye on any game where one of their IPs is in use, Other M, and Metroid Prime are both examples of this, the gameplay in those games was amazing.

This will in all likelihood turn out to be awesome, and it in no way negatively impacts Zelda U.
