Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition Trailer 1 - Nintendo Switch

Cut down enemy hordes as Legend of Zelda™ characters – in full 1080p TV mode – or in two-player on one system! Link and Zelda can battle in costumes from the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game, while Tetra and King Daphnes appear in scenes based on the Legend of Zelda™: The Wind Waker game. Find and care for fairies who will aid you in battle!

Edit: Actually, the European trailer is better.

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition – Overview Trailer (Nintendo Switch)

Here's the European boxart.

It's the same as the Japanese cover.

Wait is this game getting more new DLC? Do I get another chance at having Linebeck in this game? lol

Maybe. Probably not.

I hope not. Wouldn't be much of a definitive edition if it wasn't all that they were going to offer.

....Oki. TwT

I don't like the boxart very much. I think the white background is not that good. It looks watered down somehow imho. Anyway I don't care that much: I've bought only digital copies of games for now and I'll do the same with this game and other future games as well.

I think the biggest issue with the boxart is no Tingle.

Look at how much better this is compared to 3DS. This trailer focuses on the originally 3DS exclusive Wind Waker content.

Well, it's to be expected. The Switch is like a slightly better WiiU, after all.

I'm almost certain they had high quality models and textures for everything already.

Their approach to characters was to make them in HD first and then downscaling them to fit the 3DS, so I would expect them to do the same for the environments and enemies. (After all they had to make pre-rendered cutscenes using them, right?)

Game releases on May 18.

We don't really know much besides the release date and the fact that it has two extra costumes.

@DiscoGentleman I don't think there has been a confirmation on performance mode or fps yet, we'll likely find that out later today as it's hitting Japan.

I wouldn't be surprised if draw distance & enemies has improved for the Switch version, the Switch is a lot more capable than the Wii U.

@DiscoGentleman Docked mode is 1080p/60fps, don't know about handheld.

So for anyone who bought the Japanese version, did they fix the balancing here? I heard it was balanced out in the 3DS and should carry over to this version.

This was the only issue I had on the Wii U, had trouble continuing and leveling up took FOREVER. lol

@Joeynator3000 Oh god if they fixed this I will def buy it again. That's the main reason I ended up putting down Hyrule Warriors (and never picking it up again) in the first place!

Yeah I kept hearing the issues were fixed in the 3DS game and should carry over to the Switch. I really want to get back into this, especially since I never bothered with the DLC/new stuff.

The game does look really good. Way better then I remember, going by the Wii U trailers. Maybe that’s just because Windwaker has such an attractive art style.

I might have to pick this up.

The game in general seems to be a bit more bright and colorful than on the WiiU.

For example, most comparisons of the first level show that the WiiU has a cloudy skybox with dark hues and big shadows, while on the switch it is clear and colorful, with more defined shadows.

......So no one knows about the balancing issue on here then?

it looks like it'll be very much the same as legends, don't worry.

I think the difference is that this one will allow you to tackle the adventure maps in any order, but they'll retain their difficulty ratings from Legends.
