Hyrule Warriors (which is currently a working title and could still change) is not Nintendo's new Zelda game, president Satoru Iwata stressed during a Nintendo Direct broadcast this morning, but instead combines the “tried and true action” of the Warriors series with iconic weapons and enemies from the Zelda franchise.Items shown in debut footage included a sword, bombs, a fire rod, and a Hylian shield, plus an epic spin attack by Link.This isn’t the first crossover for the Warriors series, as Dynasty Warriors: Gundam hit PS3 in 2007. The most recent game in the Dynasty Warriors series, Dynasty Warriors 8, was released earlier this year
