Nintendo’s Eiji Aonuma has today revealed new information via The Legend of Zelda Miiverse community about the upcoming Twilight Princess DLC, coming soon to Hyrule Warriors.
The second pack from Koei Tecmo will include Midna's true form, Twili Midna, as a playable character according Aonuma's latest post:
This time around, there will be a new playable character - someone from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess... Who do you think it is? Here's a hint: this character only appeared in this form at the very end of Twilight Princess. In that game, Midna is cursed and cast out from the Twilight Realm, but now you will be able to unleash her true form as Twili Midna!
Aonuma went on to explain how he felt it was unfortunate such a well-designed character was only able to appear at the end of Twilight Princess, and how he is happy to see her return to the current Nintendo generation ready for action with an arsenal of weapons:
Twili Midna's weapon is the Mirror of Twilight, which appeared in Twilight Princess. This mirror was destroyed at the end of that game, but it's pretty amazing in Hyrule Warriors.
He also mentioned how there was plenty of other content to enjoy in the upcoming pack including new weapons, costumes, and an adventure map – and noted that for one of the costumes players would be able to dress Link up as a familiar character from the Zelda series.
The Twilight Princess pack for Hyrule Warriors will be released globally on November 27th. Let us know in the comments if you’re excited about playing as Twili Midna.

I KNEW IT.
iknewitiknewitiknewitiknewitiknewiknewitiknewit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The "Twilight princess" pack more literally then we could have ever expected XD
Love Hyrule Warriors and I'll get the pack next week, but doubt I'll enjoy it pretty soon since Smash, Pokemon, Bayonetta and even the previous Hyrule Warriors pack still need my attention ^_^;
I knew it! And I love it! One of my favourite characters is going all-out!
I should buy Hyrule Warriors now.
Happy to hear that twili midna is character but more new weapons, costumes, and an adventure map to enjoy? NICE !!!
Spoiler, NLife! I mean, I beat this game like 7 years ago but it could still be a spoiler for some people. Anyway, I love Midna's true form and the mirror of twilight is AWESOME
@Tsurii897 I honestly think Tingle will be playable or available as a Link costume in the Majora's Mask pack
Awesome character I am really glad they added her , can't wait .
saw this on Miiverce a minit ago lol - Im hopeing for all of Links Mask formes from the MM pack and Tingle lol.
I love this! I don't find the game very entertaining, but its Zelda so its awesome even at its worst and the dlc keeps adding replay value and for that I thank Nintendo. Can't wait to play as her, but also I can't wait for the real Zelda game to come out!!
Fantastic news! I've been hoping for this one.
I hope there's new areas for the adventure mode. Great to see a new character coming anyway.
I hope the costume is a cucco suit.
Was hoping for Malo, honestly.
Im still on the 1st adventure map lol, i really need to complete it and get working on the second one for those sweet alt costumes and 8bit weps. This year has been great for games, so many great ones and not enough time is my problem now.
If I'm excited? Look at my icon; what do you think? Midna is one of my favourite characters from the Zelda universa, so it'll be awesome too be able to play as her in her true form. Not sure about the mirror as a weapon though, that's pretty... meh. I'm sure they could've come up with something cooler. But anyways, I'm just nitpicking now. Haven't bought any DLC packs yet, but maybe I should give it a go, at least with Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors. Need to finish the FIRST adventure map first, though:P
Oh, lovely. Can't wait to see screenshots and trailers of her, then continue not buying the game.
Yes, they keep trying so hard to have me buying this game. If I can find it at a good price next week, I will bite.
So I can maybe start it next year after getting bored of Smash and Captain Toad.
Nobody mentioned it updates on Thanksfiving? If I recall correctly the last DLC arrived at noon so this will givemy kids something to do after the parade while I cook turkey dinner for 21 people. Wont be any gaming for me that day.
@sinalefa If you wait and buy it in Feb or March you can get all 4 DLC packs day 1 and not have to wait to play them. Might take awhile for that download and install though.
Or...maybe you can find a B2G1 sale and buy SSBU and Captain Toad and get HW for free. Ok technically CT would be free b/c its the cheapest. Rumour has it Target is having another sale like that in Dec - SSB has almost nothing in the way of sales launch week, neither does Pokemon - so maybe the week Captain Toad launches? I think Ill be getting Captain Toad w/ LBP3 and Bayoennta, Skylanders is half price BF. Busy busy busy
This game and dlc, most of these characters should have been in to begin with.
Nice! I can play it for a day and then forget it even exists the next day Smash Bros arrives.
BTW, is there anyone who has completed all the challenges in both maps, or someone who got ALL heart containers and weapons and stuff from both maps? We've just defeated Ganon in both maps with my friend, there's loads of stuff left to collect and soon there will another adventure map.
@Jazzer94
You do know this gamehas more content than first party Nintendo products without the DLC and are being sarcastic or are you just not well informed
@SetupDisk And I've played enough Warrior games to know when one lacks content, clearly you haven't.
@rjejr
I guess I need to buy it before the last pack hits so I can still get the cheaper season pass. Or get the season pass and buy the game later
And I thought your dinner was for 15 people?
This game has so much content, I can honestly say its the first game I have picked up after beating it, just to play bonus content more than a month later. Most games I play post game are usually grind levels and gear for a week, beat super bosses, put down game. This is the first time I have actually just played for playings sake for new maps and what not. Already bought the season pass, and so worth it. I don't normally say this about a majority of game releases nowadays, but this game is worth every cent.
@Tiredman It's the game that keeps on giving. Can't wait for the new DLC pak!
@Jazzer94 The only DLC characters are Twili Midna and 2 for Majora's Mask. The vast majority of characters are already available without payment.
Part of me was hoping the twilight dlc was got to be this week but I guess this will make for a nice Thanksgiving day treat. Can't wait to see the trailer on her playstyle.
@Grumblevolcano That's not my point, the amount of characters too start with for a Warrior game was pathetic then the fact they are making people pay to get more is even worse.
Oh my god i'm so hype for this,now i have to buy hyrule warriors just for Minda.This is a good day god i'm fanboying so hard right now.
@sinalefa - Can't believe you remembered 15 w/ all the wacky stuff I write, you are so funny.
Yeah it was 15 until yesterday, my parents were coking for themselves and my sister's family b/c they didn't want to make the trip to my house in suburbia from the city. Yesterday they finally got around to telling me they changed their minds a couple of weeks ago but forgot to tell me. So my mom and dad and sister and her husband and my 1 1/2 year old niece and 2 month old nephew added to the 15 makes 21. Though technically I'll only be cooking for 20 as the 2 month old does't eat solid food yet but I need to make a place to put the highchair. I'll send ya a link to the Shutterlfy photos if I survive the day.
As someone who isn't a fan of Midna, this a little disappointing. Then again, I wasn't really a fan of Twilight Princess so who they were going to add as the Twilight Princess DLC character wasn't going to bother me too much.
That said, I would have preferred one of the Yeti's, Yeta probably making the most sense as her move-set could be connected and based around the Blizzeta boss.
Another one that'll fall victim to Team Ninja once they get out the Swimsuit DLC.
Finally, one o the most under represented characters in the series
But lets just hope that they have forgotten about tingle....
I want more just so more a bit more
And now I'll buy the game...
dynasty warriors gundam reborn has hundreds of mobile suits to play as and i still only use they twenty or so i know so this game has a good amount of characters. i wonder how similar the mirror will be to the summoning gate
@rjejr
It was an easy number to remember. When I read that I thought "my bro cooks when friends come over, but 15 people must be a lot to cook for" so I guess that stuck. Well, good luck with that. You need to survive so you can experience the awesome Bayonetta 2 and Captain Toad.
Yep, I'm just going to have to buy this one day. I always thought it was a shame she didn't get to do more in that form. Of course, that's part of what made her so fascinating: The brevity of her appearance.
@rjejr That's a large Thanksgiving event. Try to enjoy it somehow! I like them smaller, but rarely get that. We have two every year. Also, I now imagine you looking like that guy on the CD cover and have finally let go of your image as a pupeteer.
@Souldin Everyone has a different opinion, of course, but just wow. I can't help but be taken aback by your preference there. Did you play it when you were younger and just didn't understand things?
@aaronsullivan Let's see... I was about 14... maybe 15 when I played Twilight Princess, though I'm not quite sure what exactly you're implying with your question. I didn't play Twilight Princess much or get very far, it just couldn't hold my attention for all too long, and I ended up distracted by other games. I hear Midna improves as a character throughout the game, but I just found her to annoying and unlikable, and the game didn't do much to interest me in going along to the point where she does develop.
My preference for the idea of having one of the Yeti's playable, particularly Yeta, is admittedly not based on a personal experience or preference of character (as noted, I never did get very far into the game). It's more the matter that Midna is already playable within the game, even if this DLC is a different form that will likely play differently, and not only would Yeta or Yeto be a different person, but I feel they have interesting potential for what they could do (particularly Yeta given the whole Blizzetta connection).
@Souldin That's a much more reasonable explanation than my guess! I assumed you had played it, especially since you mentioned the Yetis. The fact that she starts as a nemesis to Link is part of the charm of her character as things develop and she keeps you guessing.
Also, Midna isn't really playable in Twilight Princess, at least without being teamed with Link. The form we are talking about here is definitely not playable in the game at all.
@aaronsullivan Of course, but at the end of the day, it is still Midna. Furthermore, from what I know, her true form only appeared at the very end of the game. I imagine more people are attached to and recognise the character in her cursed form. Still, I do understand the point that these two forms will likely play very differently.
Given how I've seen one of Link's weapons in Hyrule Warriors is the Great Fairy, in which you effectively play as the Great Fairy rather than Link with it's own model and all, I do wonder why they couldn't have just made Midna's true form a weapon for Midna.
@aaronsullivan - I'm going to go shave now to try and look like Mitch Miller, not sure I can pull it off though.
Oh, and I tried to remain calm and not let Reggie get to me today. I'm not watching a 5 minute vid though, that will aggravate me.
Man, I was hoping for Ashei, but whatever. Here's hoping Happy Mask Salesman is part of the next pack!
I love this game, and the dlc makes it all the better:) here's for a new round of playing:D
@Angelic_Lapras_King Gosh, I'm worried about that, I hope they don't overdo it. I mean, Team Ninja have proven they CAN make female characters that look sane, anatomy wise, and totally awesome (I mean, look at Impa, she looks so cool in Warriors).
@DdFixen Ultimately it'll be up to Nintendo if they can do such a thing, to which they'd most likely say no (There was a Female Link for this game as an abandoned concept after all). Mind you, FE Awakening had a DLC story chapter with some characters in bikinis so who knows.
I mostly just make that joke because of the insane amount of sexy outfit DLC Dead or Alive 5 has, its crazy....
This game...it just doesn't end. and still 2 more packs to go! My friend has a theory that after the 4th pack, they'll release a 5th one with to continue zelda hype with majoras mask and zelda u that year. I would like to see some windwaker stuff added.
^I agree. I never expected such a long term commitment when I bought the game. Its going to take me years to fully complete.
I knew it was only a short amount time until this finally happened.
Bah, this game fell onto my back-burner list when they decided to omit online co-op, but it keeps trying to get me back with cool characters.
Yes, Nintendo, Midna is one of my favorite Zelda characters...and you had go and include both version now T_T. If you release a Midna Amiibo I may have to hurt you...or finally buy this game
I absolutely loved Samurai Warriors on release day of my 3DS - Hyrule warriors has surpassed that interns of content - although I do miss the strategic map character swapping.
The content in this game is so huge - I don't need to buy Smash or watchdogs -
Never was a great Midna-fan, but could still be fun.
