Satoru Iwata announced a brand new title during today's Nintendo Direct - Hyrule Warriors.

The new game is not the next title in the main Zelda series, that is coming separately, but it is a hack and slash title that combines the Zelda series with the Dynasty Warriors franchise.

It is being developed Temco Koei and while the game is being called Hyrule Warriors at this stage, Iwata did point out that it is a temporary title.

Not much else is known about the Wii U bound title yet, other than a vague 2014 launch date, but you can watch the unveiling trailer below.
