posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
Koei Tecmo Games began streaming a gameplay trailer on Tuesday for Hyrule Warriors Legends (Zelda Musou: Hyrule All-Stars), the Nintendo 3DS edition of the Wii U game Hyrule Warriors (Zelda Musou). The trailer features combat for Toon Link.
Alongside Toon Link, Tetra from the The Wind Waker, Skull Kid from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and the King of Hyrule from The Wind Waker are also joining the 3DS version as playable characters. All the new characters can be added to the Wii U game from the 3DS game.
Additionally, the 3DS version will include the new character Linkle (pictured below) — essentially a female version of the series' main character Link.
Hyrule Warriors Legends will ship in Japan on January 21 for 5,800 yen (about US$47), or 5,143 yen (about US$42) from the Nintendo eShop. The first editions of the game will include a download number for an original 3DS theme. A premium box version retailing for 9,800 yen (US$79) will include a compass-shaped pendant watch and an official setting document collection book. A treasure box edition available only on Amazon.co.jp and Gamecity will include a "Zelda Musou special ocarina performance set," a "fluffy fairy plush" that speaks, the compass-shaped pendant watch, and the official setting document collection book. The treasure box edition retails for 13,800 yen (US$111).
The game will ship on March 25 in North America and Europe. A limited edition of the game in Europe will include a compass. Those who purchase the game in N. America will get an original 3DS home menu theme for a limited time.
Hyrule Warriors for Wii U shipped in Japan in August 2014 and in the West in September 2014.
