Hyrule Warriors

Set outside the official Zelda timeline, Hyrule Warriors combines the iconic characters and settings of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda franchise with the frenetic hack-and-slash gameplay of Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors series. Players control familiar heroes like Link, Zelda, and Midna as they battle hordes of enemies across beloved locations in Hyrule. With over-the-top combat moves and cooperative multiplayer options, the game offers an action-packed experience for fans of both franchises.
