Nintendo uploaded their latest Nintendo Direct video last night and devoted the 30-minute running time solely to Hyrule Warriors.
During that time, they gave players a look at the challenges of Adventure Mode, some of the game’s locations, the return of Gold Skulltulas, and more. One of the biggest things to come out of that “and more” is the news that Ganondorf, Link’s nemesis since the beginning of the series, will be a playable character in the game. The King of Thieves uses a pair of Great Swords and also wields powerful dark magic in his attacks, which you can see in the trailer above. Other villains will stand alongside Ganondorf as playable characters in Hyrule Warriors including Zant (from Twilight Princess) and Ghirahim (from Skyward Sword).
Club Nintendo members will get to play dress-up with Ganondorf as Nintendo announced they’ll receive an alternate costume pack if they purchase Hyrule Warriors within four weeks of its September 26 launch. Other costume packs (including ones based on Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, and Ocarine of Time) will be available as pre-order bonuses from “select retailers.”
Finally, don’t forget to take a gander at the entire Nintendo Direct for Hyrule Warriors, which is now available on YouTube.
