Monster Hunter Stories
Monster Hunter Stories is a spin-off role playing game from the Monster Hunter series and developed by Capcom. The 3DS game developer launched a video promotion trailer showcasing the Zelda crossover. Interestingly, 2016 is the 30th anniversary of the Legend of Zelda game.
The video promo also shows that players can switch to either male or female depending on their preference just like in Zelda. Unlike previous Monster Hunter series, this spin-off RPG game is rather turn based and not full action.
It also seems that this latest installment is geared more to players who are new to the game and much younger of age. The Monster Hunter series is a game that has been for quite a while. Many of its players are much older and have detailed understanding on how the game and story works. The Monster Hunter Stories is Capcom's attempt to capture new players for this 3DS game.
How Zelda Crossover Works
