Foreword

Hyrule Warriors has accomplished two tasks during my time playing it: 1) It has reminded me of how much I enjoy Warriors titles, and 2) it’s given me a further appreciation of the Zelda series. The game is, without a doubt, a Warriors game through and through, but it is also completely loaded to the brim with references to many of the beloved Legend of Zelda games that most of us grew up with.

Nostalgic references aren’t the only thing this game is packed with, however. Like any good Warriors game, Hyrule Warriors is completely bursting with content and replayability. There are so many secrets, extras, and nuanced elements to the game that I’d be surprised if anyone could do everything it has to offer in under 150 hours. I had an absolute blast trying each of the game’s Warriors and weapons, challenging its massive 133-level Adventure Mode and trying to hunt down every Gold Skulltula.

With so much content in the game, you’ll certainly need a hand finding it all, especially if you hope to find everything before the sun burns out and the universe becomes a vast, empty space of nothingness once more. With the help of this guide, you’ll learn about every Warrior in the game, discover how to unlock them, and get tips for how to use each one effectively in combat. This guide also gives information on how to unlock every weapon, Heart Container, Piece of Heart, and Gold Skulltula.

There is a lot to do in Hyrule Warriors, and even with our help it’s going to take you a long time. If you’re the kind of person who always considers the length of a game versus its cost, then you just hit the jackpot. I hope you cleared your schedule for the next few months because if you’re hoping to do everything, you’re going to be busy for quite some time.

Lastly, I hope you find the game as enjoyable as I did, and I hope you find this guide an effective tool for completing the game and finding all of its unlockables.
