This is now the best version
||Posted .This is the third time I've bought this game... I'm going to talk about some improvements I've noticed when playing this version. Loading times feel a bit faster than the Wii U version. Graphics are more colorful, closer to the 3DS version than the Wii U version. It feels like the Switch is able to handle more enemies on screen than the Wii U version and with a higher frame rate to boot, heck even the menus have a higher frame rate. All the content from the 3DS version is now back and in HD. When playing the Adventure mode, missions feel more balanced in difficulty to start off. On top of that, previous DLC such as characters and costumes and more, are now added rewards for completing certain missions on these Adventure maps. But he biggest thing added to this mode is the ability to buy item cards with rupees. Rather than waste time replaying a mission to get one item, you can just buy it and be done as long as you've unlocked the item before (I'm pretty sure this wasn't in either version before). There's just two or three downsides to this version compared to my Wii U experience. Just like on 3DS, there are more materials to find meaning more materials to grind for to upgrade characters where on Wii U there were less materials and it was easier to upgrade more characters. Another thing is amiibo don't seem to give higher ranking items until you've unlocked the higher ranked version in game. I recall on Wii U being able to get higher level items with amiibo easier. Also the Link amiibo isn't used to unlock the Spinner weapon anymore, which is good as it's an in-game unlock now, but the Young Link amiibo doesn't get you items for Young Link in-game, it gets you stuff for regular Link. In fact it doesn't seem like the other Zelda related amiibo, like the Guardian or Bokoblin, got any special functions and they just act as regular amiibo; would of been nice if this gave rare materials more often or something. And finally... THERE'S STILL NO PLAYABLE GROOSE! TL;DR Looks better, plays better, includes all previous content and plenty of quality of life improvements all around with barely any negatives.

Great game if you like Zelda or Dynasty Warriors
||Posted .As someone who was a big Zelda fan but not really into Dynasty Warriors, I was kind of skeptical of Hyrule Warriors for a while. A bit later, I tried someone else's copy of Fire Emblem Warriors for the Switch, and while I could see the potential in the style of gameplay, it was not enough to convince me to buy it. When a Switch port of Hyrule Warriors was announced, I decided to give it another shot, and the way it appealed to the Zelda fan in me was enough to convince me to go for it. Gameplay-wise, it is still Dynasty Warriors, but Hyrule Warriors tries hard to weave Zelda gameplay, items, lore, and other references in wherever it can. It will certainly not feel exactly like a Zelda game, but if you already kind of enjoy the Dynasty Warriors but are into Zelda, the Zelda content could be enough to make you enjoy the game as much as I do. Performance-wise, the game runs great while you are playing it (though, in some cases, at the cost of graphical fidelity). Oddly, frame rate stutters occur mostly during cutscenes—nothing new, if you played the Wii U version, but so far it looks like none of the stutters from the Wii U version have been fixed. Even so, those are fairly infrequent, and as I said, I have not experienced any lag issues during normal gameplay. In terms of the amount of content, I have no complaints. As the “Definitive Edition” title suggests, this game includes all the content from both the Wii U and 3DS versions of Hyrule Warriors and a bit more, including the main story, the original game's cast of great characters from across all the best Zelda games, extra characters from the 3DS version such as Linkle, an additional mode that lets you play levels inspired by the original Legend Of Zelda world map, and new skins for Link and Zelda based on The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild. All in all, even if the gameplay is still very Dynasty Warriors, they went all-out to make this feel like part of the Zelda universe.

One of the best warrior games on the switch
||Posted .Hyrule warriors DE takes the beauty of the wii u version and all the extras on the 3ds version with all the dlc and mushes them all for a game that was already considered a great musuo game into one of the best. The cast overall shine as everyone is vastly different in playstyle Bosses offer methods to defeat them that is not go in head first. Wide arange landscapes that doesn't feel to repetatve or copy paste. And thats just the main story. We haven't even touch the side quest missions, maps, fairy system and all other extras. If you have never played a musuo game before, this is the perfect entry point since its tailored to begginer friendly and simplified, but still offers methods that veteran players will enjoy.

Hyrule Warriors is amazing!
||Posted .Owned for 5 months when reviewed.Amazing game! I love The legend of Zelda series, by far my favorite game series of all time. Definitely recommend this game to anyone who’s a longtime fan of Zelda as you can play a variety of characters other than main protagonist Link like never before. Not only can you play as the many incarnations of Link, but along with Zelda, Ganondorf, Impa, and many characters who’s made appearances throughout the Legend of Zelda series with a few original characters created for this game but nonetheless just as fun to play as. Hyrule Warriors is an exciting take onto the series but fits just right despite it being non-canon.

A love letter to Zelda
||Posted .Hyrule Warriors is a dynasty warriors style game with a stylish Zelda makeover. If that was all it was it would be hard to recommend but the devolpers took their time and really made something special. The game has references in characters, skins, and weapons that will have even the most hardcore fans in shock and awe. The best part of this game its not just aesthetic. The game is one of the better examples of a warriors game in the last few years. Dynasty Warriors 8 was just ok and 9 was a train wreck. Being a definitive edition port from the wii U expect all the DLC and more already packed into this game. If you like completing games 100% this game is about 600hrs of content. Is it repetitive? Yes... but in the thats never stopped the Warriors series before because the combat is just too fun. PS: the game has couch co-op so play this game with a friend or loved one to tackle some of of this games harder challenges.

Awesome game!!!!
||Posted .I never got a chance to buy the Wii-U and I understand that this is a port over with some minor adjustments to the Games graphics and color scheme but man is this game FUN!!!!! I am enjoying all these Port Overs and hope Nintendo keeps bringing them on to the switch. I feel like the Wii-U system was supposed to be what the Switch is today. If you don't own this on a Wii-U system or don't have a Wii-U system but own a switch, buy this game. It's worth it, it's fun and you can play with an additional person Locally like inside your home with out needing a second switch and additional game cartridge like you need with splatoon 2.

So much content here
||Posted .Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This game released on Wii U with a ton of content. Then it got DLC. Then the 3DS version came along with all content plus more content. Then that version got more content. Now the Switch version is here with all previous content plus a few costumes. You could easily put 100s of hours into this game. The main story is good and should keep you occupied for a while. The strength of this game is the size of the roster.
