HYAH!
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Editionwas announcedduring Nintendo’s mini-direct yesterday, but not much else was talked about. A vague Spring release window could mean anything, with a release coming as late as June. According to Nintendo Hong Kong, though, we won’t have much longer to wait.
As seen on thispress releasefrom the Hong Kong branch,Hyrule Warriors‘ Switch port will be available on August 06, 2025. It will also contain a Traditional and Simplified Chinese translation, which is pretty good news for that region of Asia. While this doesn’t necessarily mean a worldwide release is in order, it would be very odd for aZeldagame to release in China before the US.
For a long time, Nintendo games typically launched in Japan first, but theZeldaseries shifted gears towards the West with the release ofTwilight Princessin 2006. Every subsequent game, apart fromBreath of the Wild, has released in the West first (Breathwas the first worldwide release for the series). My money is onHyrule Warriorscoming out in March worldwide based on this.
