The adorable 3DS Monster Hunter Stories title is about to add another fan favourite franchise into the mix with a new DLC based off of the infamous Legend of Zelda franchise. In the latest trailer, fans can see which item types will be available for free later this month.

Players in Monster Hunter Stories can now don the iconic classic tunic that Link struts his stuff in, with a Majora's Mask-inspired piece for Navirou. Fans of the beloved horse Epona can see their favourite mount as a monster that the player can ride in-game, just like in Legend of Zelda. The Master Sword of course makes an appearance as well, in addition to various other skills and attacks.

Monster Hunter Stories is a colourful turn-based RPG that is a more toned down version of the renown Monster Hunters main franchise. According to the main site:

"When a monster strikes, the fearful hide, but the brave? They ride. Venture into monster nests to collect eggs and hatch a wide array of species with uniquely powerful skills. Form teams, battle alongside them, crush opponents with combo attacks, and ride into the sunset a champion. Need more muscle? Then mix and match genes to create monsters with more abilities!

When a monster infected by the Black Blight attacks your remote village of riders, tragedy will thrust you into an exciting yet dangerous world, where you must bond with monsters on your adventure. As the story snakes along, you'll encounter a wealth of side quests and hours of challenging turn-based battles where you must coordinate monster skills, rider skills and enemy attack patterns. The instinctive rock-paper-scissors combat system is a series first, a breath of fresh air for veterans and newcomers alike. It's the perfect entry point into the popular Monster Hunter universe and a game unlike anything else in the series!"

The Legend of Zelda DLC will be available September 28 for the Nintendo 3DS and it will be free to play.
