Hyrule Warriors Legends, the port for Nintendo 3DS of last year's Hyrule Warriors on Wii U, will launch early next year, Nintendo said this morning in its E3 Nintendo Direct. The game is targeted for the first quarter of 2016. A video discussion with Eiji Aonuma, the Legend of Zelda series producer, said Hyrule Warriors Legends will include all DLC from the original, plus characters and stages from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker Nintendo tipped off Hyrule Warriors for 3DS in a surprise Nintendo Direct earlier this month. The game is being made by Omega Force and Team Ninja. Characters Tetra and the King of Hyrule will join the game, and Hyrule Warriors Legends also appears to be compatible with the Wii U version of Hyrule Warriors.
It's not quite the long-awaited Wii U game, but Nintendo does have a new Legend of Zelda coming for 3DS. It's called Triforce Heroes, and is a multiplayer-focused dungeon crawler in line with the Four Swords spin-off series. Players can work together to solve puzzles, get through dungeons and take down bosses, all with a more co-operative vibe than the often chaotic Four Swords games. And, unlike Four Swords, which was often difficult to get players together for, Triforce Heroes will be online-enabled. No release date has been given just yet.
