Turns out the leaked videos of a Hyrule Warriors game for the 3DS we reported on earlier were the real deal, as Hyrule Warriors: Legends has just been confirmed for a 2016 release during the first quarter.

This installment of the new spin off Zelda title will feature the entire Wii U version of the game for you to play on your 3DS.

New characters and stages based on The Legend of Zelda: Windwaker, will add new experiences to the game for those who already own the Wii U version. Both Tetra, and the King of Hyrule make their debut as playable characters.

A new character switching mechanic allows you to swap between playable characters with a simple tap of the touch screen.
