Legend of Zelda antogonists join the Hyrule Warriors fight

Earlier today Nintendo hosted a Hyrule Warriors flavoured Nintendo Direct, it was delicious.

While the Direct did cover a lot of things we already knew about the game there were some reveals including three new playable characters. The three characters are all traditionally ‘bad guys’ and for the first time you’ll be able play (in a Zelda game) as Ganondorf. As you’d expect he’s pretty powerful and can smash through waves and waves of enemies with ease.

That’s not all though, Twilight Princesses Zant and Skyward Sword’s Ghirahim are also in the game as playable character. We’re not sure yet how the ‘bad guys’ being playable will work with the story just yet.

Aussie and New Zealand readers will be able to get some free DLC with the game too if you register the game on Club Nintendo between 20th September 2014 and 17th October 2014. A download code for  the Ganondorf Legacy Costume Set will be coming you way. North America get the Demon King Ganondorf costume. Ha, robbed.
