Wind Waker's Tetra and King of Red Lions join the fight
A 3DS rendition of Wii U exclusive Hyrule Warriors is on the way. The existence of the port was uncovered yesterday after a Japanese trailer for the game leaked on Youtube. Sadly, the trailer has been pulled, but there are still plenty of screens floating around, all of which confirm that the Zelda-flavoured hack 'n' slash game is being squeezed down to fit onto Ninty's handheld.
The footage from the game also revealed the existence of two new characters, Princess Zelda's piratical alter-ego Tetra, and the King of Red Lions himself, King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule. The trailer includes brief snippets of both characters in action. At one point, King Daphnes is shown performing an attack that causes him to turn into his boat form, a sight familiar to anyone who's played Zelda: Wind Waker.
If the ability to get your Zelda-musou fix on-the-go wasn't incentive enough, players who pick up the handheld version of Hyrule Warriors will also be able to unlock both new characters for use in the Wii U version of the game.
One of the better musou games to arrive on consoles in the last few years, Hyrule Warriors offers a veritable treasure trove of content for die-hard Zelda fans. In addition to the new characters, hopefully the 3DS version will include all the previously released content from the console version, which received several, substantial DLC updates, including new maps, characters and story content.
Even if it doesn't, Hyrule Warriors still provides a sizeable chunk of game for players to chew on, and will make a great addition to the 3DS' already amazing library of games. Provided the port is solid, I won't hesitate to double-dip.
