New Hyrule Warriors Screens, Gameplay Details

More details and a wide range of new screenshots of Hyrule Warriors have surfaced.

The game was featured in Japanese magazine Famitsu this week, with early details surrounding a new female witch antagonist and early storyline details.

Now an expanded translation details more aspects of the Hyrule Warriors preview, including a snippet of the storyline. Shia is a female witch who was in charge of protecting the balance of the Triforce, however she becomes jealous of Link's relationship with Princess Zelda. Together with her two minions Valga and Wizro, the trio send Hyrule into Chaos.

The article also confirmed a two-player mode (with one player on the GamePad), plus multiple characters like Impa. Alongside the different faces from the Legend of Zelda universe, there'll be new weapons to use, upgrades and projectiles to launch - like bombs.

Finally, the Z-targetting approach from the Legend of Zelda series will allow for smoother control and more focused combat/defense.

Now 70% complete, the game will be playable during E3 2014 next month.

More snaps can be found in the screenshots album below.
