The upcoming action-adventure video game “The Legend of Zelda” on Nintendo 3DS and Wii U will not be featured at all in the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) 2015 next week.
However, the upcoming video game “Hyrule Warriors,” a spinoff of “The Legend of Zelda” that also has a mix of “Dynasty Warriors,” will have the details of its gameplay revealed at the E3 2015 as it prepares for its rollout to the Nintendo 3DS.
Game publisher Koei Tecmo recently posted a Japanese trailer of the “Hyrule Warriors,” which was one of the most surprising hit games on the Nintendo Wii U with its fun beating them up style of gameplay. It expects that gamers on the Nintendo 3DS would also enjoy the same fun and excitement.
“Hyrule Warriors” looks very much like a spinoff of “The Legend of Zelda” video game as gamers also play a wide range of Zelda characters while trying to fend off ridiculously and almost endless waves of enemies, notes The Verge.
Gamers who have been able to play “The Legend of Zelda” in other Nintendo console knows that the protagonist in the game lives in the place called Hyrule, thus making its connection to the upcoming “Hyrule Warriors” game.
The trailer did not make any tease on when “Hyrule Warriors” will make it to the Nintendo 3DS but it did hint that there is some sort of connectivity with its Wii U version and the upcoming 3DS edition.
Delayed release of ‘The Legend of Zelda’
Meanwhile, the release of the widely-anticipated “The Legend of Zelda” video game will be delayed from late this year to next year which according to game developers is meant to buy them more time to make it the most complete and ultimate Zelda game.
In December last year, video game creator Shigeru Miyamoto and producer Eiji Aounuma announced during the VGX 2014 event in Las Vegas that “The Legend of Zelda” action-adventure video game will be coming to the Nintendo Wii U either in October or November 2015.
In March, Aounuma apologized to gamers and fans who were expecting “The Legend of Zelda” to come out before the year’s end. He said that releasing the video game in 2015 is no longer their priority as they are now focused on coming out with the best video game on Wii U ever.
He explained that he has come to think that rather than work with meeting a specific schedule as their main objective and releasing a game that reflects only what they can create within that scheduled time, the development team’s focus now is to bring all the great ideas to life to make “The Legend of Zelda” exceptionally great when it comes out on Wii U.
The producer added that the development team would capitalize on the additional time that were given to them as a result of the delay and they promised to reward gamers and fans of “The Legend of Zelda” for their patience and continued support.

Apparently, it is not going to be “The Legend of Zelda” but the game called “Paper Mario,” which may be announced at the E3 2015. The game was previously released for N64, Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Gamecube.
