Another Look at Epona in Hyrule Warriors

Eiji Aonuma shared a new screenshot on Miiverse today showing off a new look at Epona in Hyrule Warriors, a new weapon for Link that is part of the Master Quest DLC pack coming out on October 16th. In fact, Aonuma revealed a bit of his own feelings that, unintentionally, got me excited for the future of the series. I know he doesn’t intend for his remarks to be taken out of context, but I just can’t help it.

“It may seem strange to think of Epona as a “weapon”, but in Hyrule Warriors, she can team up with Link to attack enemies! I’ve already had a chance to try her out in the game and it felt great, using her to blow hordes of enemies away and galloping with her swiftly across the fields. I had a lot of fun trying out this re-imagined version of her in Hyrule Warriors. For example, in the Zelda series, players have never had a chance to fight giant bosses while galloping around them on Epona like you can in Hyrule Warriors. I hope fans will enjoy playing as familiar characters in a game that has a different type of action to what you would typically find in the The Legend of Zelda series.”

We’ve had combat on Epona’s back before in the series… so could Zelda U allow us to do this for a boss fight or two? Time will tell. Either way, I am really looking forward to this DLC.
