One thing I always appreciated about IGN’s rewind theater was how it focuses a lot on just the facts rather than speculation. Not that the folks over at GameXplain do a bad job with the facts either—they often find stuff IGN misses—but they blend it with their theories and ideas so frequently it is sometimes hard for the viewer to decipher opinion from truth. It also helps that I always enjoy Jose Otero. Of course, you aren’t here to read what I have to say, but rather to see what they have to say. Head inside.

Today we’ve got some more tasty trailers for Hyrule Warriors. The first of these trailers is that of the Goron boss Darunia, and the second shows the wonderful Sheik. The two use their respective special weapons and are showcased in the trailers. More details as well as full trailers are after the jump.

The latest Hyrule Warriors trailer is as much a treat for the ears as it is the eyes, as Sheik displays deadly proficiency with knives and a harp! How does Tecmo Koei’s new trailer compare to the previous ones? Hit the jump to find out!

The hype train for the upcoming Hyrule Warriors isn’t running out of fuel anytime soon. Koei Tecmo has recently uploaded another entry in their character series, this time focusing on Sheik, who hails from the main series Zelda game Ocarina of Time. In this video, she is seen fighting with a deadly combination of her harp and throwing knives, and looks fantastic doing so. But don’t take my word for it; click ahead to view this awesome video for yourself!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last few days, you’re well aware that a boatload of information about Hyrule Warriors has come out in the past week. Between character announcements, trailers, and gameplay, we’ve learned so much about the game launching in just a few short weeks in Japan. As if that weren’t enough, we’ve got a number of new screenshots for you to enjoy! Click the jump to check them out!

Can you handle the hype? Following the earlier Famitsu Magazine scans and translated game details we posted, the Japanese website for Hyrule Warriors has updated their gallery with plenty of new screenshots and character profiles, including the Ocarina of Time DLC costumes for Link and Zelda. We’re given a better look at the Water Temple, Death Mountain, and Faron Woods stages, as well as Impa and Lana’s new weapons. See more after the jump.

…We’re really asking for it here, aren’t we?

The mere mention of Sheik’s gender is one of those things that can send Zelda fans into all-out RAEG MODE at a moment’s notice. It’s been fiercely debated (read: argued via deafening screaming matches) ever since Ocarina of Time was released; fuel was only added to the fire when the OoT manga, while non-canon, chose to support the side of Zelda actually transforming into a boy for the seven years Link slept through. Meanwhile, the equally non-canonical Super Smash Bros. series treats the alter ego as decidedly feminine. And today we’ve learned that the “survivor of the Sheikah“—as Sheik refers to him/herself in OoT—will be joining the ranks of playable characters in the also non-canon Hyrule Warriors. We just haven’t yet gotten a translation that indicates which gender this game will go with.

So grab your noise-cancelling headphones (and maybe a sturdy suit of armor while you’re at it), and join us after the jump for today’s Daily Debate: should Hyrule Warriors‘ Sheik be male or female?

For those holding out for all the sages from Ocarina of Time to be playable in Hyrule Warriors, it looks like your prayers are being answered, at least partially. Ruto and Darunia have been confirmed alongside Sheik to be playable characters in Hyrule Warriors. Nabooru, Rauru, and Saria still have not been confirmed.

The news comes from Famitsu’s website where a small snippet of the magazine can be seen detailing Sheik. New weapons for Impa and Lana were also detailed in the magazine, and collectible Gold Skulltulas were also mentioned to be appearing in Hyrule Warriors. This is currently all we know about the scan from Famitsu. We’ll keep you updated with more news as it becomes available.

Just yesterday the official Hyrule Warriors Twitter was teasing that we would be shown a new character, and without missing a beat, Famitsu has given us not just one character, but three! And the headliner for these new characters is none other than Sheik! Who are the other two, you ask? Hit the jump to find out!
