Hyrule Warriors, the Dynasty Warriors-The Legend of Zelda mashup, will add Majora's Mask-themed characters Tingle and Young Link with new DLC, Nintendo announced today during a Direct presentation.
Tingle fights mainly with his balloons, though he can also attack with a wallet full of rupees, a special dance and a kiss of death. Young Link, meanwhile, fights with the Kokiri sword and the Fierce Deity's mask, which allows him to transform and perform powerful attacks.
The Majora's Mask pack also includes a new adventure mode map and three new costumes. It will be available Feb. 5.

Are You ready for some New-tendo News?!.. pt 1
Nintendo will release a new Rhythm Heaven game for Nintendo 3DS in Japan this year, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata announced during today's Japanese Nintendo Direct.
Rhythm Heaven for 3DS will include more than 100 timing-based musical minigames, 70 of which are pulled from previous entries in the series. Iwata showed a selection of minigames adapted from the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and Wii Rhythm Heaven games and promised 30 new minigames. New games include robot ballroom dancing and a conversation between an alien jellyfish and an astronaut.
The 3DS version of Rhythm Heaven is slated for release this summer in Japan. A North American release was not announced during this morning's Nintendo Direct.

Zelda coming to Monster Hunter 4?
Good news for fans of the Zelda series and Monster Hunter: Link's costume and weapons are coming to Capcom's Monster Hunter 4.
Capcom revealed the addition to the 3DS monster hunting series on its blog. The trailer for the reveal shows the in-game character in full Hyrulian regalia, including a Master Sword, Hylian Shield, and a bow. But wait, there's more. He plays an instrument that doesn't look anything like the ocarina inThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (but we all know what it's supposed to be), shoots a gun, and throws the shield Captain America-style.
The Link-like monster hunter also throws a boomerang and makes very Hero-of-Time-like sounds when performing actions such as attacking and jumping. Oddly, the voice effects resemble the classic "kid Link" more than the mature Link to which the character bears the most obvious, physical resemblance.
Monster Hunter 4 on 3DS is coming out in the first quarter of 2015, so it should be a good place for fans of the Legend of Zelda series to scratch that Link itch. With Hyrule Warriors releasing in September, and the gorgeous Wii U entry into the Zelda series having a nebulous "2015" release window, fans will do well to dress their Monster Hunter 4 character as Nintendo's timeless hero.

The Next Legend of Zelda game reveled at E3
After two successful Zelda projects on Wii U and 3DS, Nintendo unveiled its first details and visual style for the next console installment of The Legend of Zelda. It is scheduled for release in 2015.
Nintendo Producer Eiji Aonuma began his portion of the presentation by revisiting a now-familiar topic: How the development team is "rethinking the conventions of Zelda." Aonuma explored this theme previously in Wind Waker HD and A Link Between Worlds, but this time he focused his thoughts this time around Zelda's world.
Aonuma admits Nintendo captured a vast open world in the original NES Zelda game, and the concept slightly changed after the series shifted to 3D polygon graphics. Hardware limitations made it difficult to create one single large landmass for the player to explore; so separate zones were stitched together to make the world seem bigger. A linear path was established to take players on a continuous journey.
Aonuma expressed that he wants to take the series back to those roots of a continuous open world, one where players can visit areas out of order. "That's a convention we should keep," he enthusiastically said.
Visually, the new look for The Legend of Zelda is stunning and full of rich details. In many ways, it looks like a marked improvement on Zelda: Skyward Sword's painterly art style. You can see individual moving blades of grass, mountains and home-like structures off in the distant.
In the brief demo, a cloaked Link sits on horseback until a tentacle monster appears on the horizon. His horse races off with the monster in pursuit, as a few local herders and animals run for cover. The monster pursues Link across a bridge, breaks a portion of the wooden structure ahead of the hero, and moves in to strike. Link rips off his cloak and reveals his outfit, a blue and yellow tunic, and a trusty bow and arrow. He fires two explosive-tipped arrows to stun the beast and then pulls out a special arrow that transforms before the trailer cuts fades to white.
