What would the world of Hyrule look like if The Legend of Zelda and Dynasty Warriors combined?

During this morning’s Nintendo Direct live stream, it was announced that Tecmo Koei and Nintendo are joining forces to make “Hyrule Warriors,” a mashup of all things Zelda with the gameplay of Dynasty Warriors. Fans should note that this is not the new Zelda title Eiji Aonuma previously announced sometime earlier, but a whole new project all-together.

As you see in the video above, you get to play Link in an entirely different way. Instead of one or two monsters at a time, Link seems to be facing some of Hyrule’s nastiest creatures one horde at a time. All or most of Link’s abilities are still around, but operate at a much wider scale, tossing multiple enemies in the air at once. So much cartoony carnage. Tasty, tasty carnage.

“Hyrule Warriors,” name not final, is scheduled to come to the Wii U sometime in 2014. Seriously, all these new games coming from Nintendo is finally putting the Wii U on my radar. I can see it now, three next gen consoles sitting in my living room in within the next year or two…
