Zelda Musou – Hyrule All Stars DX

Zelda Musou – Hyrule All Stars DX, also known as Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, combines The Legend of Zelda with large-scale Musou combat. This Nintendo Switch edition brings together content from the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS releases. Players can control famous heroes and villains while fighting enormous armies across Hyrule.

Protect Hyrule From Darkness

The story begins after Ganondorf’s soul splits into four fragments. Three pieces remain sealed in different periods, while the final fragment rests inside the Master Sword. Cia, a sorceress responsible for maintaining the balance of the Triforce, becomes consumed by jealousy and darkness. She opens the Gate of Souls and connects several periods of Hyrule’s history. Her actions bring characters, locations, and enemies from different Zelda adventures into one timeline. Link joins Princess Zelda and the Hyrulean army to stop Cia’s forces. Their campaign travels through battlefields inspired by games such as Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword. The plot gives players a reason to meet familiar characters who would never normally fight together. It also presents an unusual version of Hyrule where heroes and villains form unexpected alliances. Additional scenarios expand the conflict and reveal events from several perspectives.

Defeat Massive Enemy Armies

Zelda Musou – Hyrule All Stars DX replaces traditional Zelda combat with fast battles against hundreds of enemies. Players capture keeps, defend allies, complete battlefield objectives, and defeat powerful commanders. Each mission takes place on a large map with several strategic locations. Ignoring an enemy advance can cause an ally to fall or a key base to disappear. Players must therefore balance direct combat with battlefield management. Regular attacks connect into long combinations that can clear groups quickly. Strong attacks, special moves, and magical abilities cause even greater damage. Giant bosses require a different approach. Players often need to use familiar Zelda items to expose a weakness before attacking. Bombs, arrows, boomerangs, and the Hookshot support both combat and puzzle-like objectives. The result combines the scale of Dynasty Warriors with recognizable elements from The Legend of Zelda.

Control 29 Playable Characters

The Definitive Edition includes 29 playable characters from the original game and its additional content. Link, Zelda, Impa, Sheik, Ganondorf, Midna, Tingle, and many other familiar figures join the roster. Even less traditional fighters receive distinctive weapons and special attacks. Every character offers a unique playstyle, so changing heroes can transform the rhythm of a battle. Some fighters use quick melee combinations, while others rely on magic, ranged attacks, or heavy weapons. Many characters can also equip multiple weapon types. Players gain experience, craft badges, improve weapons, and unlock new abilities as they continue fighting. The character-switching system allows users to control several heroes during one mission. This feature makes it easier to respond to objectives across the map. Link and Zelda also receive costumes inspired by Breath of the Wild. These additions help the Nintendo Switch edition celebrate many different periods of the Zelda series.
