Introducing Link, Impa and Zelda
Three most important characters in Hyrule Warriors are Link, Impa and Zelda. We will have a look at their abilities and skills (via GameInformer).
Link: He is a sword master and his signature is the spin attack that takes out enemies around him. He also uses the classic fire rod, which can be wielded as a weapon and a flame-thrower as well. He is also seen using a spiky wrecking ball.
Impa: The original Legend of Zelda has a different kind of Impa, but in Hyrule Warriors, the inspiration seems to be her avatar as a guardian incarnation of Skyward Sword. The giant blade she carries is definitely heavy as trailers showcase her as putting her weight into every swing.
Zelda: Arrows comes with the arrival of Zelda. She has quick and swift moments and uses Triforce of wisdom and different spells. She can also create destruction with her Wind Waker baton, which leaves the rivals stunned.
Release Date
Hyrule Warriors will be releasing in Japan on Aug 14, Sept 19 in Europe and Sept 26 in North America.
