Hyrule Warriors

 

 

[For users in Europe and Oceania]

Hello to everyone in Europe and Oceania! This is Eiji Aonuma, the Supervisor of Hyrule Warriors.

 

I recently made an announcement to our fans in the Americas, to tell them a little bit about the downloadable content that we’re planning to release for Hyrule Warriors. Today I’d like to share the same information with all of you too.

More details regarding the DLC will be revealed soon, on the Hyrule Warriors website among other places. Today, however, I’d like to give you a sneak preview of one particular aspect of it – a new weapon type that is going to be part of the Master Quest Pack (which will be the first DLC pack to be released).

 

You’re probably wondering what that weapon might be, and I’m sure the answer will surprise some of you. The weapon is…Epona!

 

It may seem strange to think of Epona as a “weapon”, but in Hyrule Warriors, she can team up with Link to attack enemies! I’ve already had a chance to try her out in the game and it felt great, using her to blow hordes of enemies away and galloping with her swiftly across the fields. I had a lot of fun trying out this re-imagined version of her in Hyrule Warriors. For example, in the Zelda series, players have never had a chance to fight giant bosses while galloping around them on Epona like you can in Hyrule Warriors. I hope fans will enjoy playing as familiar characters in a game that has a different type of action to what you would typically find in the The Legend of Zelda series.

In addition to Epona, the DLC will include other content as well, like new scenarios and costumes that will further expand your gaming experience. If you’re interested, you can check it out in the Nintendo eShop. I hope these download packs will help to deepen and expand your enjoyment of Hyrule Warriors.

 

We’re planning to release the Master Quest Pack on 16th October, in Europe, America and Japan simultaneously!
