Can't wait until September 26th for Hyrule's next adventure? Find a place to play now!

While not a traditional entry to the Zelda franchise, Hyrule Warriors is an interesting fusion of Zelda's theme on the Dynasty Warriors series. If you're excited for the game and don't want to wait until September 26th, you can play the game three weeks early.

At "select retailers" nationwide – mostly GameStop, Target, and Best Buy – you can get your hands on an in-store demo of Hyrule Warriors. To find the closest place to play, check out this handy map from Nintendo.

"You can battle enemy armies as Link, Zelda, or Midna
and even face off against King Dodongo in a boss battle."

While it's a nice throwback to try a game in-store, we can't help but wonder: why in-store? Do not enough gamers own a Wii U to try it at home? In all likelihood, it's just because Nintendo likes to do things a little bit different.
