Since its announcement last December, there's been plenty of buzz surrounding Hyrule Warriors. While many have felt that a Dynasty Warriors style Zelda game has potential, much of the hype has been somewhat tentative. After the game's E3 2014 trailer came out guns blazing, the response has taken a much more positive tone overall. If you missed it, check out the trailer below:
First of all, the imagery, editing, and score here make an immediate statement: yes, Hyrule Warriors is going to offer us some very serious action. If your trailer starts with a burning scroll set to distorted guitars, it's pretty obvious you mean freaking business. The characters come across as wonderfully power here and it looks like it's going to be great fun battling the inevitable enemy hoards.
Speaking of the characters, we see much more of the playable cast in action here. Joining Link and the previously confirmed Impa are a wonderfully designed Zelda and Midna. Both have been praised, and rightfully so!
OK, so Hyrule Warriors probably won't be the quintessential Zelda game, but so what? That's not really it's aim. This is merely a fun new spin on one of gaming's most classic franchises, and it looks to have been done very well thus far.
The end and stuff. If you want to keep up with this site via social media, please follow on Twitter @castlegeekskull & "like" on Facebook!
