Hyrule Warriors is a fun hack and slash game, mixing the familiar game characters from the Legend of Zelda with the game play and mechanics of the Dynasty Warriors series to make a fun beat ’em up style game with the rich character design and story line of Legend of Zelda.
The story involves Link and some new friends, Lana and Sheik, helping to restore the Tri-Force and save Princess Zelda while defeating the evil Cia. In doing this, our heroes must travel through eras in the Hyrule time line ranging from Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword and now Wind Waker as well.
Each level has tons of enemies to mow down using your hero, and now also allows you to switch characters on the fly so you can further develop an attack plan and strategy without leaving too much responsibility to an AI character.
Included in these tons of enemies are also big bosses who have weaknesses and special techniques in order to be defeated. This keeps alive the puzzle solving aspect of the Legend of Zelda series. There are tons of characters to play as in Warriors and with this new version there are five more, Tetra, King of Hyrule, Toon Link, Skull Kid and Linkle. All of these are usable in addition to other favorites like Link and Sheik.
Hyrule Warriors is a good pick up and play game, and is a great game to play on the go or pause and come back to at a later time. The action being intense and fun while ,still being playable by gamers of all skill sets.
Included with the 3DS game is a download code to bring the new characters now included in the 3DS version of Hyrule Warriors to the Wii U version, further expanding the fun.
Hyrule Warriors is available now for the Nintendo 3DS both in retail stores and in the eShop online for $39.99.
