As part of the lead-up to their E3 presentation this morning, Microsoft has announced that Happy Wars, Toylogic’s free-to-play multiplayer action-RPG, is being developed for the Xbox One.
The game, released for Xbox 360 in 2012 and Windows PC in 2014, centers around class-based multiplayer matches between teams of up to 15 trying to destroy each other’s castles. The classes are standard fantasy fare of Warrior, Mage, and Cleric, with specialized subclasses unlockable through more gameplay. There is also a short, single-player campaign mode that exists mostly to teach new players the game. Visually the game skews toward the silly, with big-headed chibi characters engaging in colorful chaos.
The Xbox One version will allow for splitscreen multiplayer for some local fun with friends. The game has been announced as being in development for Xbox One, but with no set release date yet.

In terms of iconic pop culture heroes, Link is up there with Luke Skywalker, Frodo Baggins, and Superman. While Benjamin Evan Ainsworth has proven himself capable enough to lead The Legend of Zelda's cast, adapting Link’s character for the big screen is a challenge. For much of the Zelda franchise, Link is depicted as a silent protagonist who serves as a stand-in for the player. However, that doesn't mean Link isn't a unique character. Each version of Link has a distinct story, but they are all known for their incredible courage, loyalty, and dedication to protecting the innocent. However, he has also shown many times that he can be silly, reckless, rageful, guilty, and tempted by greed. Link doesn’t necessarily have to speak in the film to appeal to audiences. However, he just can't be a one-dimensional fantasy hero. We have to see how multifaceted a person Link is as he grows and reacts to everything, carrying such a heavy burden as the Hero of Hyrule. Zelda should share the adventure with Link
