Ganondorf Confirmed as a Playable Character in Hyrule Warriors

Awwwesome.

Hopefully the DLC isn't exclusive to certain retailers.

We all saw this coming.

What about Pig Ganon? Not including A Link Between Worlds, when's the last time we've seen him?

Aside from skull kid, everyone I want is in now.

I don't know why but, the long hair version of Ganondorf somewhat bugs me, not bad but, I prefer the more cornrow looking hair for some reason.

You KNOW Tingle is in there somewhere just waiting to be an unlockable, playable character. It has to happen.

Additionally, the costume sets are available as preorder bonuses.

I saw this coming but... Gahhh! Tingle, where are you???

Also, since villains are in, Skull Kid.

I really wasn't interested in this game at all. But now thanks to this direct, I'm almost as hyped for it as smash bros.

I was planning on getting Hyrule Warriors at a later date, but when I saw that there's a Club Nintendo promotion that allows you get the Ganon Costume DLC for free, I may have to hold off buying eshop games so I can buy this.

Thank GOD it wasn't Tingle!!! shudders

Aww man I'm so excited for this game sucks I won't be able to get the pre-orders and exclusive content :/ but OMG !!!!

Ganondorf looks like Demise from The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword.

Ganondorf looks like a constipated football player, sorry to say.

Surprises? In a modern game? Not on Nintendo's watch!

Also, the swords are from: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

This is honestly what I believe to be the best thing that came out of the direct.

@Mewtwo21 This one is not, the Demon King DLC is for Club Nintendo

They made him even more badass, then he already was and that's awesome.

@onlyonemello Give up hope.
@ShadJV I rather have Navi or Tatl then him. Worthless character.
@minotaurgamer Amen to that
@PuzzleMaster7 Lawl I was waiting for this. XD

Ganon is now confirmed in Smash.! I saw a rumor video about him in june. It's the exact same design at 20 sec. it's blurry but spot on

This was the most awesome part of the direct

@kereke12 i'm sure it'l be available as normal DLC. at least we all get the Ganon costume because of aClub Nintendo

If it wasnt for Ganondorfs reveal this would have been the biggest waste a near half hour ever. NOTHING new. A few updates on previously released bits but nothing bramd new... until Ganondorf.

@Genesaur wasn't he sort of a pig in twilight princess?

@DestinyMan Dynasty Warriors basicly has no villains: Well...i guess you could say that Dong Zhuo counts as a villain even in a historical sense
But from a technical standpoint, this story has no real heroes and villains. All have their different motivations and ambitions and all are for a greater good, except for Dong Zhuo, who basicly was the trigger for the Three Kingdoms war.

But the main DW series is at 75 playable characters in DW8 XL, Orochi 3 Hyper is at 147 Characters total. So the inclusion of a spinn offs main villain is no suprise at all

Yeeeeeeeeessss!

He and the goron do make this game more worthwhile though.

Cool, although I like the inclusion of Ghirahim and Zant more! I wonder if there's any way to get that pack here in Finland where we don't have proper club nintendo.. uughhh

I think half of the fun of a game like this is being surprised by hidden characters. Everyone knew Ganon was in there- and I'm guessing all the characters they've revealed are the storyline characters. Kudos to Nintendo and TK for keeping some in game surprises back.

I only need Groose

NICE!

@Mewtwo21 I hate pre-order bonuses like this. What about the nations that don't have a Club Nintendo??? Guess we just gotta pay up instead >_<

@Splatom @ShadJV Groose, Tingle and Skull Kid would be AWESOME

Sideshow Bob confirmed

Finally, a Zelda game where you can actually play as Ganondorf!

Lu Bu in the house, covered in green!

@Tsurii897 @mudmask Sort of, yeah. But there, he was basically Wild Boar Ganondorf. Still a cool design, and an interesting way of merging the concepts, but I mean the bipedal, usually blue pig-man Ganon of olde. I want him back.

@ThreeD33 speculation not at all confirmation. And looks more like his Twilight Princess look still. Plus the picture could be obviously fake

@Genesaur

So he was in the most recent Zelda game and you complain of his long absence?

I wasn't too convinced about this game...but, the Direct truly gave some hype upon it! The DLC seems to be bigger on this game than any Wii U game before... at least looks like. Will they keep that track?

@sinalefa It wasn't the same. And besides, I was lamenting his absence from this game. I only noted that it's been a long time since we've seen him in a main-line (thus, not including A Link Between Worlds) Zelda game to further empasize how not favoured he apparently is.

Gannon check, adventure mode check. This is all I need to know

this was predictable but awesome

Love his new look...sorta hope he looks like this in Zelda U.

Wow frickin' awesome. HAVE to get this game.

Does this mean that Ganondorf is going to have a completely new moveset in the new upcoming Smash Bros games?

I figured that since he hasn't been officially revealed in Smash yet it makes sense now to show him off with magic/sword/levitation abilities in a similar style to Robin.

Awesome! I like the Oot and Windwaker Ganondorf more, but its awesome nonetheless!

About friggin time!

Well, I'm pretty convinced I'll buy this game now. Darn you, Nintendo and Koei Tecmo for getting me into a new series.

@Tsurii897 Um, I guess it's because Yuga had fused with Ganon. It wasn't entirely Ganon. Felt more like a beast to slay, rather than the great master of evil, or whatever. I dunno. I guess play it, then come back and compare your thoughts to the way that I feel.

I was previously uninterested in this title entirely...

Then I saw Ganondorf.
