Sheik is a very mysterious being. He may seem like the last member of the Sheikah race, but maybe he isn’t telling us everything… Just maybe he really isn’t Sheik… or a man! A while ago it was announced that Sheik would be appearing as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors, and today we get to see him in some action against the undead… isn’t that cute, those Stalchildren are wearing little helmets, not that it would help to defend them from the power of Sheik’s harp!

Seems like Sheik is equipped with some crazy ass weaponry. A sword and a harp may not seem like much, but if you know how to put them to use they could aid you to take the world by force. Of course Sheik is skilled with swordplay, though it is music in which he thrives. If you listen carefully, you can hear mini melodies that Sheik plays on his harp, each one releasing a devastating power against his foes. The Bolero of Fire will cause fiery brimstone to rain down, the Serenade of Water will summon ferocious whirlpools for a watery grave, and the Nocturne of Shadow will create a shadowy vortex to bring a hell that even Stalchildren fear! There are still plenty of other songs to play at your disposal though…

Hyrule Warriors is set to be released on August 14th in Japan, September 19th in Europe, September 20th in Australia and September 26th in North America!

Note – I apologise, but unfortunately Chris has fallen ill so the Hyrule Warriors Detailed Blowout I promised yesterday will be delayed.

Last week was a big week for Hyrule Warriors as there was so much juicy info released on this title. Unfortunately due to last week being hell, I couldn’t cover everything. However, I have decided to make one big post showcasing all the trailers that were released last week, including that awesome 4 minute one. Then either later today or tomorrow, our writer, Chris, will be doing another blowout article detailing pretty much everything that has been announced last week for Hyrule Warriors! So sit back, relax, and get stuck into these fab trailers.

First, let us check out the brute force of Darunia in his Character trailer!

The dead may rise to bring down the living, but Darunia can give them rest so they can Rest in Piece… or would that be pieces? With immense strength and the almighty Megaton Hammer, nothing can get in his way.

Now it’s Ruto’s turn!

Though Princess Ruto may be sweet, that doesn’t mean she can’t drag unsuspecting enemies into a watery grave… a second grave for some! Take complete power of water as you create whirlpools on land to drown your foes, encase yourself with unique ball to toss your enemies about, or put your delicate but sharp fins to use in hand to hand combat. Plus, it seems to might have some friendly Gorons to aide you in battle… like you would need it with remarkable power.

Finally, here is the almighty 4 minute feature trailer! Also, it is in English!

This trailer is definitely nothing to sneeze at. It does a good job to showcase everything which has been announced thus far… and some which haven’t! It seems that the Great Fairy will become quite a useful character within the game… perhaps we could see her as a playable character? Also we get to see a glimpse of the multiplayer, one person will play on the big screen using the Wii U Pro Controller (or perhaps other controllers too) while the second player plays on the GamePad’s screen offering completely un-intrusive local multiplayer action.

What do you think of the look of Hyrule Warriors so far? Stay tuned for Chris’ article later today or tomorrow!
