We'll keep an eye on this. For now it looks OK.

Beloved maybe, financially succesful? I'm sure its far behind from Mario, Mario Kart and definitely Pokemon, either way, they are not letting them do whatever they want with it, Tecmo hackis doing a warriors game (which is their specialty) and Ninty is letting them use Link and the zelda cast, Link was already in a Soul Calibur game and it turned out fine, this might help Zelda become relevant in Japan once again (where it does quite bad in sales) hack and slash games are as popular as a whore house in Valentines day there bro, I see this as a win win, us Ninty fans need to change the way of thinking of only Nintendo can make a good game, I for one find myself excited about this.

Yeah a lot of sudden Musou fans XD

I'm not a huge fan of Musou games, although the recent One Piece games were enjoyable (likely because I'm a fan of the manga series). I'll still keep an eye on this title and see how it turns out.

looks pretty neat, but it needs more characters! It's gonna blow my friend's mind though :P

As somebody said in another place, a Tales of Hyrule would have been so much better.

If Nintendo wants to let another developer spend their time working on a game that will sell alot, while Nintendo themselves works on Zelda U then that is fine by me. It's not like Zelda U would come out SOONER if this game didn't exist lol. 

That texture pop-in.

Meh, not excited. I just hope that this does not damage the Zelda brand.

A Dynasty Warriors clone, Nintendo sure as hell doesn't know what they are doing if they hope this will help to turn the wii U around, they should be cloning popular genera of games not those that are in decline.
