Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition also features a mechanic continued on from Hyrule Warriors Legends where you could change between multiple characters in the map, allowing for you to be able to keep proper control of the area without needlessly having to run around the map continually. The game also has a local 2 Player Mode. Welcome to my 100% Let's Play of Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition for the Nintendo Switch! Join Link as he travels through Hyrule's time and space in this Dynasty Warriors styled Legend of.

Hyrule Warriors was first revealed to fans at the end of 2013 and nearly a year later saw its first release on the Wii U. A little less than two years later it saw an even larger version release for 3DS and now fans are once again given the opportunity to dive into its hack ‘n slash Warriors combat on the Switch.

The previous entry, was a bit of a downgrade as far as overall functionality was concerned but did manage to add even more content for players to experience. While it may not be exactly new, Definitive Edition brings along with it all DLC content from the two previous entries in addition to some changes of its own to help it live up to that title.The story of Hyrule Warriors is much the same as the. A dark wizard by the name of Cia has found her way across Hyrule and is looking to take down its greatest warriors who stand in her way of Link. Along side this main journey is the added missions from the 3DS title, which includes Linkle’s story to save Hyrule and the Wind Waker missions featuring Tetra, Toon Link and the King of Red Lions as they track down Shadow Ganon. The story doesn’t offer a ton of depth, but getting to experience so many new maps in HD is a real treat for anyone who first experienced them on 3DS or missed out entirely. It nearly doubles the overall length of the story campaign, and makes for a ton of extra collectibles and challenge towards the end with many new characters to play as.The core gameplay of Hyrule Warriors will be familiar to most who have played an action title. Each character has a light and heavy attack which can be used at different intervals to create special combo attacks.

Characters will have one or multiple weapons, with each one having a unique moveset and special abilities they are able to pull off. Special Attacks can be pulled off after attacking enough enemies to fill up the bar or they can execute a Focus Spirit burst to increase power and pull off an even stronger final attack.

Every weapon has four upgrades in the Definitive Edition, a few of which will be unlocked through progressing the story but the majority of these will rely on Adventure Mode to meet their full potential. Outside of regular character combat, players will also be able to take on the special boss-based challenge mode called Ganon’s Fury, which allows them to take Ganondorf’s true beast form and fight anything and everything that stands in his path while trying to get the best ranking possible all while absorbing the power’s of the other giant bosses.

This makes for a great break from the regular action, as playing as giant Ganon is an entirely different fun experience on its own. Adventure mode is the real meat of Hyrule Warriors, but this time comes with every map available immediately after beating the first story mission.

Each of the nine maps is marked with a difficulty rating to help figure out where to start. Every map offers new character unlocks, weapons, upgrades and of course many other collectibles to help progress through stages. Each map has its own quirky aspect to it, with the default Adventure map being the only basic one.

The Termina based on Majora’s Mask has a three level limit before it resets and can only be stopped by defeating a certain boss while exploring, adding a new level of challenge for players to undertake. Aside from having to beat each map to earn its rewards, there is a rank system in place to determine what exactly is earned. A rank is the highest which requires players to beat maps efficiently.

This can include not taking a certain amount of damage, killing a correct amount of enemies and beating within a set time limit. Fortunately after beating each map the results are displayed with a ranking, so if one gets a B or C first time around then it’s easy to see where exactly needs improvement to get that shiny A on their map.While there isn’t a ton of brand new content, there has been a good amount of changes.

One of the biggest additions is the item card shop for Adventure mode which allows players to purchase the item they’ve unlocked instead of having to complete a map again to get more. This takes away much of the repetitive nature Adventure mode would occasionally suffer from so maps don’t need to be replayed multiple times unless looking to unlock additional items. The My Fairy feature has also seen some changes, with the 2D character models being replaced by full 3D renditions of the fairies.

While it’s a little disappointing the fairy artwork is no longer available, getting to see the fairies actually participate in battle when used is a nice bonus that makes them feel like true companions. In addition to these pleasant changes there are two new outfits that are available immediately, which are Breath of the Wild costumes for both Link and Zelda to adorn while fighting.One feature that has seen particular improvement is the multiplayer. Although not available online, the local co-op was at first a positive selling point for the Wii U version. Unfortunately it suffered from an atrocious frame rate and a huge drop in overall game quality. The 3DS featured no co-op whatsoever, so seeing it return in the Switch version was a pleasant addition. Instead of being separated on two different screens with the Wii U, players now play split screen with top and bottom.

It looks and plays great while docked and is still a pleasant experience even when in handheld mode. It’s a shame that the title isn’t available to go online, but the considerably huge improvement in local multiplayer makes it well worth picking up and playing with nearby friends.Those who first experienced Hyrule Warriors on Wii U and 3DS know the framerate wasn’t always the best. On 3DS there was frequent slowdown and the Wii U generally stayed at 30FPS with frequent drops especially in multiplayer. This time around while docked the Definitive Edition will run at 60FPS. While it isn’t smooth all the time, it never suffers from severe slowdown and instead is one of the most startling improvements simply because of how much better it truly is. Handheld mode is still silky smooth to play and again won’t take much slowdown unless there is a truly insane amount of enemies on screen. Perhaps the only disappointment is that the level cap of 255 remains, which is a long grind for those looking to complete every last mode as it will require nearly every character to get near it, or close, in order to unlock everything for them.

The text that appears in-game when characters talk is also half the size of the Wii U version, which isn’t so bad when playing handheld or close to the screen while docked but there should have been an option to increase the size as its just a bit too small.Closing Comments:Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is just that, the very best edition of the title that has been released. It offers the most content, and a wonderful quality of life changes that make it easily accessible for new or returning players. Those who played the Wii U or 3DS versions will find this is truly the greatest experience and is very much worth picking up again for those who don’t mind starting from the beginning once more. Anyone who has completely missed out on Hyrule Warriors and is looking for fast-paced strategic combat with a hefty amount of content and challenge will find that it fully delivers above and beyond.

Was a game that came to the Wii U and mishmashes the gameplay of Koei Tecmo’s popular Dynasty Warriors franchise with the characters, locales and narratives of The Legend of Zelda series. The Nintendo Switch port is quite appropriately titled the Definitive Edition. Why is it called this? In one package it contains the Wii U game, the Nintendo 3DS enhancements that came in and every single piece of downloadable content that was released for both versions. But before that, let’s get into it.The gameplay is fairly simple. You get placed on a map with allies and armies and you have to complete a mission, typically to defeat the leader of the other army. You do that by taking the keeps on the map, defending your allies and then, eventually, defeating the leader.

There are 29 different characters to play as, several of which have multiple weapons to use which make the character play like an entirely new one, giving the game a lot of variety.These characters can then be levelled up as you play through, making it easier to take down enemies and face off through the harder difficulties. You can also collect various materials from fallen foes to augment your character with stronger abilities in the Badge Market, so you can attack weak points quicker and other similar features. This will require a lot of time with the game, often grinding as the materials are random drops, to get the materials you may need to max out each character.Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition also features a mechanic continued on from where you could change between multiple characters in the map, allowing for you to be able to keep proper control of the area without needlessly having to run around the map continually. The game also has a local 2 Player Mode. Unlike the Wii U where one player used the Wii U GamePad and the other the TV, with a graphical hit, it is done through split-screen and doesn’t impact performance much if at all.The main narrative of the game comes in the Legend Mode. This has you play through a story where Hyrule comes into turmoil when the evil Cia and her minions cause rifts through space and time throughout the history of The Legend of Zelda series.

Uniting with various characters including Darunia and Ruto from Ocarina of Time, Midna from Twilight Princess and Fi from Skyward Sword, among their adversaries, your task as Link is to find the Master Sword and try to stop Cia’s plan.As this is the Definitive Edition, it also includes the side story of Linkle, a young girl who believes she’s the hero of Legends, and, later on, the story of Link’s adventure with Tetra when the Great Sea merges with Hyrule. This story moves at a brisk pace and allows for you to quickly learn the mechanics of the game and play through it.

It’s highly advised you start with this mode. It can be played in three difficulties: Easy, Normal, and Hard with a Hero difficulty unlocked later. There’s also a Free Mode where you can replay the stages as any character.Next is the Adventure Mode. In the first game, this was one simple map where you complete specific tasks with various restrictions, unlocking characters, costumes and higher level weapons for your character. As this game includes all the downloadable content, there are now 9 different Adventure Maps of various different degrees of difficulty to complete.

Many of these have their own gimmick such as the Termina Map, based on Majora’s Mask, which has a timer count down until the moon falls and resets the map while Koholint Island’s Map, based on Link’s Awakening, has you collecting the Siren’s instruments to stop nightmares.All the former downloadable content characters have had their weapons, items, and heart pieces intertwined into the maps, so they play out differently to the previous games. However, many of the characters still need to be unlocked from within the map. Make no mistake, this mode of the game will be the one that eats your time and it will take literally hundreds of hours to 100 percent, but I often found myself jumping back on when I had just finished something to do one more challenge. It is surprisingly addictive, but it is inherently grindy if you wish to progress through to the harder maps. You can’t just jump in straight away, else you will struggle.There’s a Challenge Mode which contains various battle challenges which have special tasks that you can complete with any character. More challenges unlock as you go through. There’s also a boss battle mode and another where you can play as the demon form of Ganon.

There’s also the My Fairy mode, improved from the 3DS version with full 3D graphics, where you look after a Fairy you find in Adventure Mode, raising their level and giving them food and clothing. You can then use these companion fairies in the mode to get various boosts, making this fun to use as it can help you unlock the weapons and characters that you desire.The graphics of the game are solid.

It runs at a solid frame rate, but with very few drops. This is despite the fact that you will often have over 100 enemies on-screen. The textures and areas aren’t very detailed, but that’s expected as the focus of the game is to plough through dozens of enemies without issue. It’s not the best looking game on Nintendo Switch, but what it does, it does well whether that be in TV or Handheld mode – although with slightly more pop-in when undocked. The locales match their reference game and help give you the feeling of being in that part of Hyrule.The sound is great. There’s not much voice acting in the story, going with the classic Zelda text boxes to follow how the franchise was before.

Aside from that, it has the classic Zelda sounds when you find items, open a chest and it has some amazing remixes of various The Legend of Zelda music pieces. The Skyloft piece is one of the more notable ones, but the sound is just top quality. Even though you’ll be hearing the themes countless times if you intend to 100 percent the game, you won’t grow weary of them.Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is a solid fighting game.

It expertly meshes the gameplay of Dynasty Warriors and The Legend of Zelda with a decent story and a massive amount of content. It’s not perfect, but it’s a lot of fun and immensely satisfying to just plough through scores of enemies in a single hit. The story will keep you engaged and satisfied even if you don’t want to delve into the timesink that is the Adventure Mode. It’s definitely a fun game and this truly is the definitive edition.However, despite that, it lacks anything that’s actually new to this version. If you have the Wii U or 3DS game and bought all the downloadable content, then you’ll have seen pretty much everything that this game has to offer, so for that reason, it’s hard to recommend it. However, if you only played the Wii U version without the downloadable content, or you haven’t touched before, this game is definitely worthy of recommendation.Version Tested: Nintendo SwitchReview copy provided by Nintendo.
