The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has told Siliconera that Hyrule Warriors was created as a way for Nintendo to break current Zelda traditions. Aonuma also told the publication that he wanted the team to simply create a Zelda title that he couldn’t make.
“Aonuma also mentions that this ties in with his earlier words, when he expressed his desire to change the mindset of having The Legend of Zelda stick to its traditional roots. For this reason, he felt that Hyrule Warriors would make things interesting.”
“The Legend of Zelda has a history of 27 years, and the way it is played has already been well-established,” says Hayashi. “So at first, we went in the direction of wanting to make something that could follow the way The Legend of Zelda is played.”
“However, that is something you could experience by playing any game of The Legend of Zelda series, and even if we could imitate the surface of it, it’s not something we could actually make. In the end, we realized that it would be best to make a Warriors title that has elements from The Legend of Zelda series.”
Aonuma adds, “There wouldn’t be a reason for making it a Warriors [game]otherwise, right? I wanted Tecmo Koei to make a Zelda game that I can’t make. And for this reason, I asked them to ‘give it more of a Warriors approach.”
Thanks, Sour Grapes
third party does what nintendon’t.
The majority of third parties cater to fps gamers, and Nintendo caters to a younger audience (most of the time). It’s been like that since the GameCube era, and that isn’t set to change anytime soon.
actually they dont.
Then you’re really fucking stupid and blind. All I see from them is shooters after shooters either 1st or 3rd person.
you do know there other geners the third party focus on dipshit.
Didn’t I say ‘majority’? Read comments first before blindly talking shit
Ehh, that’s a pretty blind, factless statement, nonetheless. I don’t think I’ve ever agreed with Sasori ever, but honestly, 3rd party devs are pretty diverse in what genres they do.
EA, Ubisoft, Capcom, Sega, Valve, Blizzard, Activision, Konami, Square Enix, Bethesda, etc- I’d say only Activision and Valve focus solely on FPS games . EA has sports games; Ubisoft has platformers; Capcom has Street Fighter, Monster Hunter, and Mega Man; Konami has Castlevania and Metal Gear; Square has Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest; Sega’s closest thing to a fps was Shadow the Hedgehog; and Bethesda does wrpgs, Blizzard does MMOs and Strategy games.
I dunno, the way you are looking at it is: you’re either FPS or are “kiddy”. And I really really hate that outlook on the industry. The more people that see it that way, the more companies are going to make FPS games and join the bandwagon.
Sure, companies have their preferences (Nintendo’s 1st party games aren’t ever rated M, and there are a lot of FPS games out there), but your labels were drastically over-exaggerated.
Check out the complete pro walkthrough for Watch Dogs:
Shooters after shooters year after year since 2002. That’s it. Wake the fuck up please.
Shooters after shooters year after year since 2002. That’s it. Wake the fuck up please and BTW, don’t repeat my insults dipshit. Go find your own like 3rd parties should go find some more creative ideas.
Your views on 3rd parties are blurred by you’re lack of interest in them. If you really think most 3rd party developers focus on shooters then I feel bad for the games youre missing out and will miss out.
I’m sorry idiots like you can’t take facts.
Why so you so angry? It’s gonna be alright, cheer up!
actually they do*
there fixed it for ya.
Even though its basically Nintendo over looking this… stop damage controlling you cunt.
Like what? Spamming FPS, mature sandbox and hollywood like interactive CGI? Yeah. Nintendo doesn’t waste time making shallow CGI movies on a disc with ripoff DLCs, stupid season passes and…microtransaction plus spamming crap every 11 months.
Nintendo doesn’t do that. They take their time amd research while 3rd parties frantically rush garbage out to make a quick buck out of dumbass graphic enthusiasts like you.
not only fps. also racing games. rpg games like mass effect, dragon age, the new elder scrolls, various jrpgs like kingdom hearts, final fantasy etc etc will not come to WiiU. then adventure games like tomb raider, assasins creed, blah blah blah will also not come to WiiU. that’s what happens when you lose third party support.
the last line about graphic enthuasiasts, thats what nintendo did exactly with super mario 3d world LOL.
I love Nintendo, and my family owns a WiiU and 3ds, but I do like a good RPG/action game from time to time. I would buy Fallout 4 in a heat beat if it was coming to WiiU, same with Metal Gear or a Batman game or a (good) Final Fantasy. It’s really a shame that I won’t be able to play those future games (unless they come to wii u which would be awesome, indeed).
If possible why not get a gaming pc? Sure the build is expensive is all worth it in the end. But thats my opinion. Im also love nintendo too. But sometimes I do game on other platforms too. Even Android. But thats my 2 cents.
Its* sry for the typo
It’s
@dquarius: Ehh, mainly cause of price. While owning a nice PC would be nice, I’d rather mooch off my family’s wii u, as not to have a financial debt. I might miss out on a few games, especially the ones that aren’t coming to the Wii U/ 360, but, hey, there’s other games out there. A XBone, ps4, or gaming computer would probably take me a week or so of part time work, and I kinda need tht money for University. Still, the Wii U has a few great games I am looking forward to (MK8, Smash Bros, Monolith Soft’s X, Fire Emblem). Sure, I enjoy some of the high end “next gen” 3rd party games that will be for PC (and the like), but I may have to revisit them in the remote future.
3rd parties help put a bad reputation on Wii U systems even before it launched like EA rampaging about Wii U hardware sucking only because Nintendo turned down their Origin crap deal. WTF would want Spyware in any console besides Xbox? Followed by Ubisoft going into skeptical chickenshit mode delaying Rayman launch as a dick move towards Wii U fans and potential fans who were going to buy Wii U for that game thinking it wouldn’t sell and just to port to PS3/360 for extra money at the point where most were gonna buy GTA5 thus screwing themselves like retards and finally Activision lying about Nuketown DLC coming to Wii U BO2 which hurt the game’s sales and install base.
All of this is super obvious and yet, you point fingers at the opposite direction because the general public and business always hated Nintendo for years and now your brain is mind set to hate them too for reasons that you’re blindly supporting and buying their games which is saying you’re a foolish hypocrite with an enclosed mentality.
mirrors edge you moron.
Got low scores too moron
lol, you’re retarded
Talking about yourself?
is that your pathetic excuss.
ugh, learn to troll and spell. “excuse”
sasori burned again, lol!!
Not as pathetic as your out of contexts, Narutard.
But Naruto Chan is so sexy kawaii!
Funny, you call people moron yet you can’t even spell “Excuse” right XD
sasori got burned again!!!
1st person borefest of a 3 hour long EA game. Nope. I see nothing original there. Even the original Prince of Persia is 50x more entertaining than that shit.
Thanks Sour Grapes..what he do go to Nintedolife????? This story was posted kn Saturday on Ninlife.com????? Still copy n pasting Sickr??
so i guess the new zelda game for WiiU will be quite traditional then. which is not a bad thing at all. i just hope they wont make a zelda game for wiiu with top-to-down view..
Top-to-down view with baby Link is the way to go man ;)
#sarcasm4sure
Lol! Don’t SAY that! D; !!!
I doubt it. I think Hyrule Warriors is the first step and the next Zelda game on the Wii U will be even more “less traditional” than ALBW.
I’m happy about this, the zelda formula was getting a bit stale, it’s basically been the same since a link to the past and luckily a link between worlds helped break away from that formula a bit
I just hope it doesn’t mean that Zelda games will be generic hack n slash games like the GoW games…
Cause that would ever happen
You never know these days…
Some things end only when everything else does. The Zelda formula is one of them.
Fuck u bitch.
Nice. This is just the sereies expanding, while boosting the popularity of the two series in japan and the west as well as the friendship and trust of the two companies. There will be Hyrule Warrioes 2 next gen for sure. Hopefully this easily destroys the 1 million milestone.
I don’t see the problem with this, it combines classic LoZ storylines with a new game style that may make LoZ more interesting
Pokemon Conquest is simlar to this case
Bah. I’ve been blowing off Pokemon Conquest ever since it came out. I need to fix that.
If Nintendo continues with collaborations such as this in the future, it would be healthy for both parties.
As long as they don’t repeat that mistake that is infamously known as Metroid: Other M
If that’s true then why is the Triforce in this game?
It’s like asking why the newest Halo doesn’t have Master Chief in it
This experimentation with the Zelda franchise is actually quite good, the reactions from it will definitely have an impact on the new Zelda game for WiiU – and that can’t be bad.
If the game is well received with some of the stuff getting highly praised, we might just see something from Hyrule Warriors in a Zelda game someday.
The picture on this article makes link look like a creep. Like Jack Nicholson in the Shining or something.
I just hope it still has that exploration element to keep it a Zelda game while changing what it always was.
Lol right the look on his face looks like he just got done murdering someone creeps me out to
still the same shit. good shit that is.
They need more change before people will be satisfied. It can’t just me Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon every time. If they do that they’re gonna fail eventually.
Be*
if the censor the cia boobs then i will not buy it. i hated censorship, i felt when i was barverly default the game was over censored. even the speech,voice acting and deaths were censored.
Horny much?
He can’t get a girl in real life so a digital version has to do.
So I’m totally NOT defending that ignorant troll, but I was kinda pissed they censored FEA. The game was designed with some tasteful Fanservice, and it should have been released as the developers envisioned it. Fun and flirty at times.
Nintendo’s micromanaging parenting annoys the shit out of me.
Until you realize what age the girls in Bravely Default were…
“Nintendo’s micromanaging parenting annoys the shit out of me”
I agree, not only they censor, they also not seem to care promote their adult oriented games and then they try to make some of their games way too cute and kiddy and those are the titles they promote, which is the reason why gamers think Nintendo as childrens choice and stick to the Ps and Xbox for games like WatchDogs and Cod. It is also the reason why i need to get XboxOne alongside my WiiU because they have more adult oriented titles. Its a shame that Nintendo doesnt realize that many of their fans have grown up and theres a market for adult oriented games, but instead Nintendo just wants to make kiddy games instead of games like Metroid,F-Zero, Fps games like PerfectDark(i know Rare is with Ms but they definately needs to fill the whole of Fps genre on their system)
he needs it because he wants a excuse to start to fap everyday.
plus, sasori gets 3rd grade burns for every comment he does
Dude not buying a game because they patch up clothing is kinda stupid. Recent years nintendo has kinda mellowed down a bit if u played Fire Emblem awakening u can see alot they didn’t censor only one thing they did was one beach scene. They actually make a few sex jokes, and other things. Bravely default censoring was square’s choice I believe.
Can I seem dem boingy bits? ;)
You mean her melons, hooters, bazookas, bazongas, tatas, knockers, gazongas, cones, twins, headlights, cans, girls, puppies, owl eyes, rack jugs, assests, bust, bombers, blinkers, cha-chas, coconuts, cupcakes, fun pillows, flappers, headsets, flapjacks
you know tits?
No. I was talking about her ass, her tits are nice too
Yep. It was Square Enix of America. It’s possible Nintendo of America had a small part to play, too.
You horny bastard… really? Boobs are what sell games to you? So much for calling everyone else a social reject ;)
I like boobs me self but I look for the gameplay, not the lovely jubbles
i’m sure he wants to see penis, that’s why his hero is a character from that awful anime narutard
Also. are you a pedophile? The girls in the uncensored version at 13 YEARS OF AGE… it’s okay in Japan but outside of Japan its a no no…. People I think we should keep an eye on this guy…
>.< You would be right… if sasori wasn't 14 or 15. And to be a pedophile, the characters would have to be prepubescent while the person getting turned on by it has to be over 18. Being attracted to pubescent teenagers is actually very natural & is called ephebophilia or something. So you can watch but don't touch. xD My god! I feel like I just defended sasori! Now I got to go wash my hands with soap.
On the subject of Bravely Default, changing their ages to 18 & up was pointless since they ended up changing some of the sexual innuendo & provocative outfits, anyway. Might as well have left their ages the way they were in the original content.
But I agree. We should keep an eye on him regardless.
Like you’ll ever get to see real, fake or virtual tits in your damn life. lol The closest you’ll ever come is your own mother and let me add this: Ewww.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, this guy is a LOSER, he needs boobs in videogames, because he doesn’t have BALLS to talk with girls, now you’re exposing that you watch porn and masturbate with videogames when you see a pair of juicy tits!!!
go and masturbate with your anime girls moron
*anime male characters!!!
sasori, what you wanted to say is: you do not wanna see boobs, you wanna see something different, something from a man. and here’s the real reason:
I like the new Hyrule warriors and what they have done with the series hopefully aounoma learns from Technco. To get different teams within to help out with the Zelda series to prevent it from being linear and add more of a sense of excitement with new approach and concepts.
Hey that’s good news, looks like he finally pulled off what he wanted to do after all. Well played sir.
Five things I would love to see from nintendo
1. Pokemon moba
2.a mario platforming racer
3.a smash bros like crossover with guardian heros like combat
4.pokemon mmo
5.a better starfox assault
It would be awesome if these thing would happen but hell im just fantasizing.
1. No… just no
2. How the would that work?
3. So you mean something like Hyrule Warriors?
4. Yes
5. Yes
I think a pokemon moba could work out (look a pokemon rumble). If you played rayman arena on gc or rayman m on ps2 then you will know what im talking about and yes something thats not tide to the series like mario kart or pokemon xd. And we also need an fzero with online.
Or something like Kingdom Hearts. Instead of Final Fantasy characters, we get Nintendo characters instead. I’d buy that.
I agree with 4 and 5 only.
The more the game deviates from the tradition, the more I like it. As long as I can cut the shit out of people as Link, I like Zelda games.
This is embarassing! Nintendo could have at least chose a better style of game for a zelda spin-off of the traditional. This game looks ridiculous!
Like what exactly?
How? You’re playing as Link, a freaking swordsman who is the hero of time. He fits best with Dynasty Warriors mechanical because he too combats with swords, other weapons and magic.
Im wondering uf yhis can is chronologically take place before skyward sword…it would explain the lack of triforce and the hordes of monsters…those who read the hurdle historia manga know what I’m talking about.
Jeez auto correct. I’m wondering if this game lol
And hyrule historia manga XD
The Kingdom of Hyrule wasn’t founded til sometime after Skyward Sword. If that truly is official art of Skyloft getting lifted into the air, I think the game might have time travel involved. Both Zelda & the Warriors series have used time travel (Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper.) Or the first few stages will take place during the war between the Demon King Demise’s demon hordes & the Goddess Hylia’s forces.
Or this game just won’t be canon.
Canon or not, it should remain true to the source material. I want to feel like the game could be in the Zelda timeline (canon) even though Aonuma said it won’t be.
I’m looking forward to this and like a Zelda fanboy I’ll be suckered into buying it day one but I have a feeling that the gameplay will get stale, boring, and repetitive like the DW and those Naruto spin offs.
I really hope it doesn’t though.
Dont be such graphics whores. I only have a Wii U, played everything the others had to offer and got rid pf them. my pc smashes the new consoles out the water so i’ll stick to whobwill give me a fresh and varied experience. Thank you Nintendo for keeping games about the games!
Half way through Xenoblade……what a game!
