Aside from the amazing, but short teaser trailer we got late last year on Nintendo’s and Techmo Koei’s joint project, we have heard almost nothing about Hyrule Warriors. Until now! Famitsu Magazine images have shown that they are conducting an in-depth expose of the title, including new images, art and a release date! According to the piece Hyrule Warriors will release in Japan on August 14th, 2014 and will include unexpected playable characters! Aside from that comes some other interesting news. The game is being produced by Hisashi Koinuma, and Yosuke Hayashi, while Eiji Aonuma is supervising. The simplified story is that Link is setting off to rescue Princess Zelda, who has been kidnapped by the evil witch Shia. Link, Impa, Shia are all introduced in the magazine, and locations include Hyrule Field at the least.
No word yet on an international release. Stay tuned as more secrets shall certainly be unveiled this year’s E3!
