Nintendo hosted a Hyrule Warriors direct yesterday that went into detail about the upcoming game. While a lot of information had previously been released, this was a big showing for the game with more insight into how the characters perform, how the weapons function and even how you increase your skills.


Two new items were discussed though, the first was Adventure Mode, which is an all new mode for the game. You start in an overview world from the original Legend of Zelda title and as you move about to new areas, you will be tasked with challenges. Complete the challenges and you will be rewarded with items, which you can then use on the overworld map to hunt down secret areas and special weapons and upgrades.



The second big bit of news is that Ganondorf will be a playable character, yep for the very first time the king of the gerudos, the dark lord himself will be playable. So along side Zant and Ghirahim, players will now be able to experience the most powerful and formidable bad guys from the Zelda universe like never before.
