Hyrule Warriors – Everything You Need to Know

There’s a Wii U Zelda game schedule for 2015, but that’s a long, long time for fans to wait. Heck, the wait between any two mainline Zelda games can be unbearably lengthy for series fans, never mind the four-to-six year gap you can expect between entries of the home console variety. Of course, quality takes time, which is why the wait is usually always worth it.

This Fall we’re getting something different in the form of Hyrule Warriors, a collaboration between Nintendo and Koei Tecmo. Don’t panic; though these are indeed some of the same folks behind Metroid: Other M, Hyrule Warriors is a completely action-based title made by masters of action-based games. This isn’t the next great Zelda adventure from Nintendo, but it does look to be a visual feast, an incredibly amusing romp, a fanboy’s fantasy, and much, much more. If you own a Wii U, you’ve likely already decided you want in.

The game is slated for release on September 26th in North America, making now the perfect time to brush up on your Hyrule Warriors knowledge. Luckily, the game doesn’t require an encyclopedic understanding of Zelda’s convoluted timeline, so newcomers should be able to jump in without too much of a worry.

With that, here’s a breakdown on the Hyrule Warriors experience. Look for our review later this week!
