As it turns out, Koei Tecmo and Nintendo listen to their fans, as Zant and Ghirahim are only playable specifically because fans wanted them to be. The original plan was just to have them be enemy characters and nothing more, but fans spoke loud and clear – so I suppose I should be thanking all of you for finally letting me be Lord Deb… I mean Ghirahim. Of course this is the point where fans wish Koei Tecmo and Nintendo had listened even more, since we’re all still waiting for the Groose to be loose…

Mwahahahahahahaha! The Usurper King rises once more to deal his dance of death upon an unsuspecting world. Armed with two scimitars, a bad temper, and some serious congo skills, Zant takes his stand in this new Hyrule Warriors character trailer! Find out more after the jump!

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…

Some great new Hyrule Warriors screenshots recently appeared over at imgur, and there are a lot of new images of Cia, Ghirahim, Zant, the Dark Wizard, Volga, and Ganondorf, with some content worth theorizing about. Check out the pictures after the jump!

In today’s Hyrule Warriors Direct, Nintendo announced that Zant from Twilight Princess will be a playable character.

He will fight using scimitars, and one of his special attacks will allow him to grow huge and stomp on enemies! I’m sure that a lot of his other attacks will be taken from his boss fights as well.
