When word got out that Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition would make it over to Nintendo Switch, I had mixed emotions. The original Wii U version of the horde-clearing, fort-capturing action game was a revelation for me: it was the first time I truly “got” a Musou / Warriors game, and not for lack of trying. Playing as and fighting familiar Zelda characters made all the difference. I was hooked.
I’m not much of a handheld gamer, so Hyrule Warriors Legends came and went. On-the-fly character switching, new story segments based on Linkle and Wind Waker, and a new My Fairy system to further bolster The Grind all sounded like fine additions. But it doesn’t take long for my hands to cramp while holding a 3DS, and at that time, I was still feeling burned out from the Wii U game. No thanks!
Flash forward to the launch of Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition back in May, and you could see my conundrum. It’s a question plenty of Hyrule Warriors players faced: “There are so many other great games I could be playing on Switch. Do I really need to get caught up in this time sink again?”
The answer for me was “no,” but that didn’t stop me. I’ve forced my way through the admittedly drawn-out story mode and now I’m working my way through the Adventure maps. There’s no end in sight.
