As we bite our nails with anticipation for more news on the upcoming Zelda U title, we can speculate on what elements the latest installment in the Zelda series will contain. For instance, will we see a new Zelda villain?

If you give credit to the popular theory of Zelda U being a Skyward Sword sequel, this would be the very first appearance of Ganon in the official timeline. If you are a supporter of the theory that Zelda U is a Skyward Sword prequel, we could see Demise before he was temporarily vanquished. Either way, I think Zelda U is going to be a pretty awesome game…

In the biggest games of the series, Ganon, in some shape or form, has nearly always been the final enemy waiting for Link at the final hurdle of his adventure – and for good reason. The Prince of Darkness’ immense power and cunning makes him a foe worthy of final boss status, providing inspiration for countless examples of ultimate enemies in other games. While there’s not really a need to switch from such a iconic villain, especially considering his diverse iterations, the series is prone to introducing other intimidating antagonists, making it clear that the wielder of…

The colorful cast of faces familiar to Hyrule has grown over the years, but only a select few have been lucky enough to return for an encore after their initial appearances. Admittedly, this does well to add to the variety in our adventures that so commonly revolve around the same three Triforce representatives, but it often seems tragic to lose some our favorites just for the sake of changing things up over time. And with sequels and remakes becoming more common, perhaps this is something will soon see change.

A few days ago I was thinking about

Hyrule Warriors (as one is wont to do), this time focusing mainly on how cool it’s going to be playing as Ganondorf, Ghirahim, Zant, and the game’s unique villains, and a thought came to mind: what if that happened in an actual, canon game? Not necessarily a case of switching between various characters, like in Hyrule Warriors; what if Nintendo released a Zelda spinoff where you played as the villain for the entire experience…

Warning: Potential spoilers ahead.

We’re going to get straight to the point: Yes,

Hyrule Warriors has a villain story mode. I don’t know much else beyond that as it is being played right now live on GameTrailers. We have the stream for you live, but I just wanted to note that we’re learning everything we can about this mode along with the rest of you. Check it out…

We’ve had our suspicions for a while, but last night’s Hyrule Warriors Direct finally provided confirmation: we will be able to play as villains. While this is a completely new feature for The Legend of Zelda (outside of Super Smash Bros., of course), this is far from unusual for a game in the Dynasty Warriors franchise. And between the footage from the stream, the plethora of new screenshots we received today, and the official descriptions thus far, we’ve gathered quite a bit about these wanton warriors. While there’s still no character…

Through a translation from Nintendo’s Japanese website, we learned just yesterday that Link could very well be facing a brand new antagonist in next year’s adventure on Wii U. This has caused a massive amount of discussion and speculation among the fan base, and it’s not surprising considering this is the most we’ve heard about the story for Zelda U since its reveal. That being said, some have more specific ideas in mind a new villain. Join the Daily Debate!

According to the official Nintendo Japan website, Link will face off against a new “formidable enemy” in the upcoming Zelda U. While there are no details on the new enemy, this does at least confirm that we will experience a new threat and a new mystery.

This is the first bit of news about the story that we have heard since the reveal at E3. It isn’t much to go on, but it opens the game up for a lot more discussion on the story, timeline placement, and so on.
