hyrule-warriors-legends-artWith all of the talk surrounding Tri Force Heroes, it’s easy to forget that there’s another handheld Zelda adventure on the way. News updates regarding Hyrule Warriors Legends have been relatively infrequent since the game’s official unveiling at E3. Considering that the 3DS reimagining is still several months away from its Japanese release, there isn’t that need for constant marketing. It’s somewhat surprising, then, to hear that, despite the barrage of information we received a couple of weeks ago, more news is on the way. According to the game’s Japanese Twitter account, new details will be revealed this coming week.

Check out my baseless speculation after the jump!

Given that the game was just recently set for a January release date in Japan, we may hear more about the game’s western launch date. As of right now, it’s scheduled for early 2016, but now is about that time to hear something more concrete.

Hyrule Warriors Legends’ roster is confirmed to feature new characters beyond those that have already been announced. Perhaps we’ll learn more about one of them this week; however, considering that Toon Link was just unveiled, I’m not sure whether I’d bet money on that.

What are your thoughts, though? Do you think we’ll receive news about the game’s western release? Is more information regarding its playable roster likely? Let us know in the comments below.
