Professional reviews from gaming critics

Overall, Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition offers up a lot of content and does a great job of compelling players to unlock more of it. As long as everyone knows what they’re getting into though I would definitely recommend this game to fans of the Dynasty Warriors franchise regardless of their familiarity with Zelda. I’d also give a thumbs up to fans of the Zelda games that are into arcade-style ...

If you missed out on the Wii U Hyrule Warriors, I’d more than suggest buying the Definitive Edition here on Switch. Not only is it one of the best Warriors spin-offs to date, but chances are you’re a Zelda fan if you own the Switch and it’s just a great spinoff of Link’s adventures altogether. Can it get repetitive? Sure, but that’s the nature of Action RPGs like this – Warriors games are essentia...

Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is the best version of the Legend of Zelda hack-and-slash experience. While it does suffer from some problems the original versions had, the plentiful amount of content mixed with entertaining gameplay and colorful cast of characters make this a legend the hero of time would love.

Thanks to its rich suite of characters, maps, modes, and more to enjoy alongside substantial improvements to the game's technical performance, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition earns its namesake as the best way to play one of the most unusual Zelda titles yet. While it may not stand up to the likes of last year's Breath of the Wild (or many other Zelda titles for that matter), Hyrule Warriors i...

If you’re a fan of the Warriors format and Zelda games then Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Editionis an essential purchase. Those who have already played its predecessors to exhaustion, however, may find that it considerably less so. Sure, it has got nicer visuals and a couple of extra costumes, but that’s about it. Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is really meant for those who, like me, missed ou...

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition combines the best of both versions of the game, providing ridiculous amounts of content that any Zelda fan would swoon over.

Hyrule Warriors comes to the Switch, after appearing on both the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS. Exactly how definitive is this release? We find out.

Yep. Let's not skirt around it in any way: we have another Wii U port here with Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition. To be clear, I adored the Wii U, and I think it had a great library of exclusives that I spent hundreds of hours on. I don't regret my purchase one bit. But it's hard to get excited about Switch releases when I've played so much of it all before.

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is a good-quality port of the Wii U game, but outside of much more stable performance and better local co-op it doesn’t add enough new content to make replaying the story mode interesting again if you’ve already tried it. Luckily, the Adventure Mode maps and 16 of the 31 unlockable characters are available from the start.

Hyrule Warriors marries the best aspects of the musuo genre with a love for Zelda and visual and performance improvements for a solid, if simple, romp through Hyrule.

It seems like just yesterday that Hyrule Warriors was originally released on WiiU in 2014. It was practically a love letter to Legend of Zelda, with playable characters and levels from every era across the franchise all brought together in a zany action hack-and-slash with hundreds of hours worth of gameplay. It received positive reviews across the board for its massively fun combo strings, gorgeo...
