Video: Lana Brings Some Deadly Magic to Hyrule Warriors

Is it September yet?

So many female characters.. So far I know, Link is the only male confirmed.

Every video I watch makes me want this game more and more what an AWESOME surprise this title has turned out to be , kudos Nintendo kudos !

Good job, keep the hype coming!

This game is super sexy!

I would have prefered an actual Zelda-character in the game - why make princess Zelda a warrior, then conjure up a generic-looking anime-chick for spellcasting? There were plenty of warriors in the games!
Gotta say, the anime-ness of her design and voice-acting/mannerism is offputting.

Lana looks like a pretty cool character, I wonder how important would she be in the story. Also if they're gonna announce a Male Character anytime soon, I hope it's Groose.

Love her personality. :3

@Warbeard - Ild guess there are more guys and gals who like anime chicks than dont who play these types of games. She does seem a bit too Squenix though, like shes been in every FF game and shes never stepped foot in Hyrule. Those spells look cool though. I wonder if we can control her walking on that cube or its just an automatic part of the spell?

This game releases next month in Japan right?

Any word on any collector editions outside of japan yet?

Lanasune Miku?

@Tsurii897 Not to this degree I'd say - and at least she was important to the story then

Looking at those videos, Lana looks the more interesting character to play than Zelda.

Normally these type of games don't interest me, but I have this on pre-order and just keep getting more and more excited with each new video!!

Makes me wonder if she will be in the new Zelda U game and they already know this. I guess it won't be much of a surprise if she is.

Dunno.... I've never played a Dynasty or Warrior game before..... but I am not full convinced about the gameplay.... expecially the AI quality... is it a matter of difficulty level or the enemies are kind of unconscious statues around the player all the time? I've never really seen, in any gameplay video, this horde of enemies charging the player.... they all the time look like staring at you, contemplating how pretty you are and how they look ugly..... Hope a demo will be released..... need to try it first....or anyone here is a fan of this series and could comment about the difficulty level?

@Will-75
It's the other way around for me. The more I watch these videos, the more it make me not want the game. I'm glad you guys like it though. But if I gotta choose which one to play, it will be link with that staff.

@ModestFan93 Shh don't wake me up untill then!

Human form Midna please.

@Tsurii897 Thanks for your answer.... Would warrior orochi Hyped be a good "test" game to understand if I'll like Hyyrule warriors? I could find it supercheap in a store... instead of waiting for a demo I could start with a complete game

Don't worry, Lana will be in the next Zelda game

@arnoldlayne83 Yes it would. All warriors games are the same

@arnoldlayne83 Warriors Orochi 3, even Hyper, is one of the best games released in the Warriors series to date. I'd highly recommend trying it if you're interested in Hyrule Warriors.

So far... Queen Zelda, Lana, and the evil witch Cia are the cutest I've ever seen in Hyrule Warriors. Aonuma, Koei-Tecmo's Omega Force, and Team NINJA have been doing a FUNtastic job introducing the characters and showcasing some gameplay action. September 26th, here we come!!!!!

@Warbeard Thank you. This is what I was going to get at. I don' mind new characters in the Zelda series but this gal is comletely unnecessary. She is absolutely a cheap, uninhibited Japanese anime girl and I don't think she fits in this environment AT ALL. There was probably need for her in the plot somehow but if not this was Koei Tecmo/Team Ninja's attempt at influencing the Zelda series but as per usual in a terrible way.

Meh, personally as far as mage characters go, at least Lana seems more ethereal in her attacks; slinging pages, acrobatically jumping across hard-light barriers and shattering them....and even rolling on Cubes Intelligence Qube-style is more visually awesome and cooler than traditional frail mages.

Even then, frail mages tends to just stick to classical elements....to the weird like summoning shadow dragons.

@Yorumi I don't think it's that she's out of place, she's generic, and boring. A dancing Goron is awesome, come on!

@Yorumi At least she seems serious - I half expected Lana to do a V-sign and wink. I guess it's her mannerism more than anything

I love her big smile at the camera, cute and died laughing at the same time. I need to see a meme with her and Luigi ridin' dirty XD

@Yorumi I see what you're saying but Lana's weirdness isn't unique, it's stereotypical Japanese anime girly glowy eyed. It isn't Zelda weird, it's just "Hey we don't have enough skimpy Japan porn in here, let's make a new character" weird. (cough Team Ninja) Although I will give them props for making her acceptably dressed.
EDIT: It's just how it was all derived and what it happened to be. If this were a core Zelda game and we met a side character who looked like this and that was not an overly common attribute as seen in all Japanese media than I probably wouldn't bat two eyes at it. But for me this is like adding some skinny blonde guy in swim trunks and a Hawaiian shirt who goes 'DUUUUUUDE LIKE AWWWWESOME!" and calling it a main character who stands next to link.

My favorite thing about Zelda is how close it is to other games without touching them in any way. Gorons, Zora's and Deku's compared to Elves, Orcs and Dwarves, etc. All of the weird in Zelda is really it's own quirkiness, so to see a common quirk thrown in, I feel it's like pink over a black surface.

Just saw it again, and oh God, she actually v-signed and winked at the camera.

@Porky There will never be enough female characters IMO. Most games are riddled with dudes. I welcome the change. If you think about it. There aren't a lot of Male characters in the Zelda universe compared to women. The monster that you collect the poes for is in it. Skull Kid would be neat.

This new character is cute, but I hate the whole sorceress/magic book/magic circles stuff. It's possible that she takes away too much from what makes Zelda Zelda rather then add to it. It would have been better to develop Din, Farore, and Nayru, instead.

Ever since I watched that Lana Trailer I'm really starting to feel like this game will only cater to the japanese audience... I'm so conflicted about this game...

@DiscoGentleman Got it, Thank you very much for your explanation!

To quote The Beatles: it's getting better all the time.

@Yorumi I see what you're saying. I agree on the art style bit as well. That has alot to do with is, especially since we're talking about a human character not a tree or fish humanoid those traits become more prevalent.
