There is plenty for Zelda fans to be excited about (the announcement of a new 3DS Zelda game called ‘The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes’, as well as the announcement of Hyrule Warriors: Legends just before E3). But, amid the chaos of E3, it seems Nintendo has pushed out a little surprise update for the Wii U version of Hyrule Warriors to celebrate the upcoming Hyrule Warriors: Legends game for 3DS. The company has released update 1.7.0. It gives Link a new costume in the Wii U version of the game, donning his classic attire from the original games in the Zelda franchise. Furthermore, players who get Hyrule Warriors: Legends will be able to transfer the new warriors in that game into the Wii U version of the game, as well! This is also stated in the update notes for the new 1.7.0 patch in Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U.
It’s a small but much-appreciated surprise. I was hoping they’d give Link a costume like this all along actually. It’s great to see it finally happen. All you have to do is fire up your Wii U and start up the game to get the update, and then you can kick some baddie butt as old-school Link! Zelda Wii U may be a long ways off yet, but we have another Hyrule Warriors game coming to 3DS along with another new Zelda game to give us our fix until then.
Hyrule Warriors is available on Amazon:
