Hyrule Warriors is available in North America today, and to commemorate its release,
Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has revealed that Link’s horse, Epona, will be made available as a downloadable weapon for him to use.
Epona will be released as part of the game’s first paid DLC pack, which will be available on October 16th. Titled the “Master Quest Pack,” it will also feature other new additions to the game, such as a new scenario and costumes. Nintendo have not yet announced a price for the pack yet.
“I already had a chance to try out Epona in the game,” Aonuma
wrote on Miiverse. “By riding Epona, I was able to blow heards of enemies away and gallop swiftly through the fields, and I had a lot of fun trying out this re-imagined version of her in
Hyrule Warriors.”
“In the
Zelda series, players never had a chance to tackle bosses by galloping around them with Epona like in
Hyrule Warriors, so I hope fans will enjoy playing as
Zelda characters in a game with a different type of action than you typically find in the original series.”
