Before it's E3 reveal, Famitsu has info on the game and it's sounding pretty cool, with there being multiple characters to play as in the game, along with it being a two player game.

Very cool. But being that it's a Dynasty Warriors game, I think all that really matters is lots and lots of action with very little slowdown, nice looking graphics, and cool Zelda Easter Eggs.

True, but it sounds like it'll be a fun take on the Zelda property for sure. I like the idea that Link is a soldier this time in the army rather than just starting out as someone who has zero skills as a fighter, but just happens to be this great fighter lol

Nice, and sounds like it may make it out this year too! :)
I'm a huge DW fan, so combining that with Zelda is like chocolate & peanut butter. ;D
-
Graphics look pretty nice. Treasure Box sounds interesting.

Being that I've never played Hyrule Warriors, this does have me interested being that its a Zelda game and I will give Nintendo my support so I will pick this up.
-
I'm increasingly interested in this game the more I see. But honestly there's not much more to look forward on Wii U this year :'( Hopefully Nintendo proves me wrong at E3, but I fear I'm going to have at best 4 Wii U games on my radar for the remainder of the year (including Mario Kart 8, which lands in just over a week.(

7,900 yen! Damn that's a lot. Why are new games so much more over there?
-
Here's screenshots for the game, with some nice ones of Impa who is a playable character.

My hype level for this is off the charts.... Zelda and Warriors are some of my favorite series.... Never in a million years did I think this crossover dream would come true.... Hell.... It was such a "when pigs fly" idea that it had never even crossed my mind before.... There is a god....

How does that translate to US dollars?
-
Dollar to Yen currency exchange is currently around $102. 7900 yen/$102 ~ $75 - $78

Looks pretty great, went ahead and pre ordered the Treasure Box just in case I want it, not sure if I'll keep it. Rather just hope we get a similar edition in the US.

Japan had like a 500% tax jump a few months ago. They are basically the Asia Canada now.

Yeah, if they were worried about Japanese citizens importing foreign versions before....
