Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is coming to Nintendo Switch

Koei Tecmo and Nintendo are bringing their Legend of Zelda-themed slash ‘em up Hyrule Warriors to Nintendo Switch. The re-release, dubbed Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, will include “every map and mission, plus all 29 playable characters” featured in the previously released Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions of the game.

It also introduces some new content in the form of Breath of the Wild-themed costumes for Link and Zelda.

Like the original game, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition supports two-player local multiplayer on a single console. Whereas the Wii U version gave one player their own display on the Wii U GamePad while the other played on the television, Definitive Edition features a split-screen mode that allows two players to play together using a single Joy-Con controller each.

Hyrule Warriors is a Dynasty Warriors-style Zelda spin-off developed by Koei Tecmo. The game originally released for Wii U back in 2014 and was subsequently ported to 3DS with new content as Hyrule Warriors Legends. GameSpot awarded the original version an 8/10 in our Hyrule Warriors review. The game’s spiritual successor, Fire Emblem Warriors, was released for Switch and New 3DS in October 2017.

Check out the Trailer:

Team Ninja and Omega Force did just that in 2014 with Hyrule Warriors, a spin-off starring that warrior in emerald who has to keep reminding people that his name isn’t Zelda. Link’s latest adventure was solid stuff, but hardly played on the Wii U as most people opted for the 3DS version instead. A second chance is on the horizon for Link however. as the Nintendo Switch will provide a larger screen for him to hack away on.

A new, ultimate version of the exhilarating action game set in the Zelda universe will include every map and mission, plus all 29 playable characters from both the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS versions of the game, along with all of the previous paid downloadable content. Play as Link, Zelda, Midna, Skull Kid and dozens more in action-packed battles at home or on the go. Additionally, the game includes new outfits for Link and Zelda based on the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game.
