Does anybody else remember when Impa was a frail old woman who collapsed after sending Link on his way to rescue the Princess in the original Legend of Zelda? Yeah… that’s not the Impa we’re going to get in Hyrule Warriors. Like the Link trailer they released last week, Tecmo Koei Japan has given us a glimpse of this Impa in a brand new trailer for the game. Between using a sword that’s taller than she is and the jagged scar across her face, this Impa is wicked intimidating.
The publisher has also released a new trailer featuring Zelda herself. The Princess uses magical light abilities to vanquish the monsters threatening Hyrule including a phantom bow and a portal that rains down meteors. She is no damsel in distress.
Hyrule Warriors will be released in Japan on August 14. We in America will get a chance to hack and slash our way through Hyrule on September 26. Both trailers can be found after the break.
