Nintendo Direct will be held tonight for Hyrule Warriors

The Big N has announced there will be a special Nintendo Direct tonight which will focus on Hyrule Warriors. The upcoming action title is being co-developed by Tecmo Koei and Team Ninja with supervision by Nintendo.

The Zelda spin-off mixes the cast and familiar settings of the flagship series with the hectic and over-the-top action that the Dynasty Warriors games are known for. Link, Zelda, Fi, and Impa are just some of the many playable characters whom you can use to take down wave after wave of moblins, stalfos, and other minions.

The presentation will begin tonight at 8 p.m. Pacific/11 p.m. Eastern Time. If you would like to watch the show, you can do so via the source link below.

Teaser trailer for Hyrule Warriors, a crossover between The Legend of Zelda and Dynasty Warriors

Nintendo have announced that they are collaborating with Tecmo Koei to create a crossover game which mixes The Legend of Zelda universe with the gameplay of Dynasty Warriors. The game features the characters, enemies, items, and locations of the former with the over-the-top action of the latter. The unique title appears to take quite a few cues from Skyward Sword, borrowing heavily from its roster of enemies, while also including King Dodongo from Ocarina of Time.

The first trailer for Hyrule Warriors (working title) shows Link taking down waves of enemies in Dynasty Warriors fashion, with the green-clad hero using his sword to perform simple strikes, spin attacks, and even Skyward Strikes. He can also be seen wielding the fire rod and throwing quite a few bombs in rapid succession. Trailer after the break.
