Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition Reviews
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition has all of the quality of the 3DS version that built on the Wii U original (and some of the more recent Fire Emblem Warriors improvements added for good measure) and none of the drawbacks.
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is exactly what the title states; it is the ultimate version of Hyrule Warriors. The game has everything that was available on the 3DS and Wii U combined and runs at 1080p and 60FPS. For those interested in the series but never took the chance, this is the perfect opportunity. The game is loaded with more content than more games with full series, it looks good and the music is pretty great. There is no stuttering, no pop-in, and no performance issues that I’ve encountered. The game offers couch co-op and the story is surprisingly good. For those who have already played it... well, then it might be more difficult to recommend. 3DS players will see a vast difference in visuals and performance and Wii U owners will find an experience similar to what they’ve previously experienced. For you, I imagine portability will be the defining factor. For me, the portability trumps everything else because of my hectic lifestyle. Regardless, one thing is for sure, and that’s that the best version is the Switch version.
This truly is the definitive Hyrule Warriors experience, and a must-buy for those yearning for more in the wake of Fire Emblem Warriors. Though some time to adjust is needed, you'll soon be back slaying the best of what the kingdom has to offer.
I had enough fun with Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition that I can recommend it as a fun guilty pleasure if you've got some extra coin but it's not a must play experience.
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is a really fun experience on the Nintendo Switch and really is the definitive version. It contains all the updates and plenty of unlockable characters, items and costumes to help enhance your overall Musou experience but in the world of Zelda.
This hack-and-slash romp is as good as it was in 2014, but remains fundamentally the same game, making it best suited for those yet to experience Hyrule Warriors whatsoever.
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition shines with massive scope and is a great introduction to the Musou genre - but only for Zelda fans.

Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is the best way to play the game, and is a good fit on the Switch. That said, this one's definitely for newcomers rather than returning players, and the frame rate can still play up in moments where's there's just a bit too much going on.
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition will be a much more appealing and enticing prospect to those who haven't already played the game. This is one of the most fleshed out and content-filled Warriors games I've seen in a long time, and even if you aren't a Zelda fan, there's still plenty here to charm you if you're not turned off by the repetitive combat.
The third version of Hyrule Warriors is certainly the best version. The tweaks made to this version help it to be more enjoyable than the original and with all the DLC included, this is an incredible amount of content to work through. Worth playing if you love it, need a good co-op game, or haven't played it, but it won't win over any new fans.
You will almost assuredly find enough content and fun hack and slash action to justify a full priced title, even if it's not the absolute best Nintendo Warriors has to offer.
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is just that, the very best edition of the title that has been released.
For people who didn't play through the DLC on the Wii U version, or want a portable version of Hyrule Warriors that doesn't feel like a one massive compromise after another, Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is essential.
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition brings this Dynasty Warriors Legend of Zelda hybrid title new life thanks to improved performance.
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition on Switch brings all the DLC from other platforms together for what is, in essence, a remaster of one of the best Zelda spin-offs.
On Nintendo Switch, Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is pretty much the same action packed and repetitive beat them all it was on Wii U four years ago, with some improvements on the technical side and all the DLC. For Zelda or Muso fans, it's still a joyful way to blow off steam. but if you own it on Wii U or 3DS,there's only one feature you'll notice, split screen on portable mode.

If you're a huge Zelda fan you might get a kick out of Hyrule Warriors and if you're a Dynasty Warriors fan you're sure to find something to love. If you missed this on Wii U, it's worth a go, but if you've been there and done that, you're probably best saving your money for something else
It’s not a bad game, but the mileage you’re going to get out of it will vary depending on the type of player you are.
Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition lives up to its name: it's the best version of this game, and this game is also the best in the Warriors series.
Popular locations, iconic songs and a truckload of things to see and do make this one title that is going to keep you going well until the next Zelda game comes out, and then some.
