Link’s dependable horse Epona will be included in the October 16 release of Hyrule Warriors’ Master Quest Pack DLC, The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has announced.
However, Epona wont be a playable character, but a weapon. A weapon, you ask? Aonuma explains:
“Some of you may be surprised to hear that Epona is a ‘weapon’, but in Hyrule Warriors, she can team up with Link to attack enemies!” he explained on Miiverse. “I already had a chance to try out Epona in the game. By riding Epona, I was able to blow herds of enemies away and gallop swiftly through the fields, and I had a lot of fun trying out this re-imagined version of her in Hyrule Warriors.
“In the Zelda series, players never had a chance to tackle bosses by galloping around them with Epona like in Hyrule Warriors, so I hope fans will enjoy playing as Zelda characters in a game with a different type of action than you typically find in the original series.”
The DLC pack will also offer new scenarios and costumes, with details to be announced at a later date.
