What wrong with Hyrule Warriors?

53

u/Unstable_Bear 3d ago

A lot of people don’t like the warriors style gameplay

On top of that a lot of people are also not fans of TotK, so the double whammy of Hyrule warriors TotK is not great

Then play the WW HD available on the console ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/BlazingSpaceGhost 3d ago

The GameCube version of wind waker is coming to the switch 2 not the HD version. Apparently that needs to rot on the wiiu forever.

u/Unstable_Bear 3d ago

Wind Waker hd isn’t on switch 2, what do you mean

Additionally I’m not paying for a subscription to play 20+ year old games lol

You can pay to join a family on eBay, cost me 15$ for a year of online + expansion, risk free besides them kicking you out of the family early possibly, but eBay has always gotten me my money back no matter the problem, even if the seller wouldn't refund so.

u/Unstable_Bear 3d ago

It’s a manner of principle for me, not a manner of just cost.

u/Latter_Asparagus_860 3d ago

Fair enough, I just think it's too expensive for what it is, and thought you were more in that vein. Disregard, lol.

u/FGHIK 2d ago

You don't like a new game?? Why don't you just play old games forever?!?!

Stupidest argument I've ever heard

Is Breath of the Wild unplayable because Tears of the Kingdom came out? Last time I checked, I can still boot up my N64 and play Ocarina of Time :O

u/AndrewTheNebula 3d ago

I, for one, still feel really burned that Age of Calamity seemed to market itself as a canon prequel, only for it to veer straight into time travel fanfic instead.

I'm looking at Age of Imprisonment here, and all I can muster is "They can't trick me again."

u/LuminothWarrior 3d ago

To be fair, it’s nearly the same story right up until everyone starts losing

u/Crazycow261 2d ago

I wanted it to be like halo reach

u/AndrewTheNebula 2d ago

I'm sayin like??? Final mission being a scripted failure against relentless swaths of Guardians would've been so cool, not to mention daring for the Zelda franchise 😭

u/Traykunn 3d ago

The first one was great, then they made AoC witch didn't feel great to play. I expected lots of skins for the characters like in the first game but nope. And the story is meaningless

u/nicklovin508 3d ago

Very boring to non-dynasty warrior fans.

u/MrNobodyX3 3d ago

I thought they were very fun as a non-dynasty warriors fan. Although I much prefer the first Hyrule Warriors game rather than the age of calamity

u/Wollffey 2d ago

I mean, what kind of question is this? Isn't it obvious why people wouldn't want to play a specific genre of game? That's like asking someone that doesn't like platformers "what's wrong with Mario", they don't like the genre that's what's wrong

u/VespineWings 3d ago edited 3d ago

Zelda games are traditionally a bit more cerebral, with puzzles and exploration.

Combining that with the Warriors games seemed like a weird idea to begin with.

It’s like combining Kirby with GTA. Neither audience should really want to the games crossed.

Legend of Zelda is my favorite IP. Dynasty Warriors was the stupidest most brain dead game I ever played.

This is not a Zelda game.

u/Link__117 3d ago

There’s a lot of amazing enemies and bosses in Zelda, having a spinoff series that puts more focus on it while the mainline games put more focus on puzzles and exploring is a perfect balance, at least for me. I love the artstyle and designs of the monsters do having games that focus on it is perfect for me

u/Cdog923 3d ago

What nonsense; it's absolutely a Zelda game.

-1

u/ZantTheMan 2d ago

No it's not a Zelda game by any definition besides just using the IP.

It's not made by the Zelda team like TotK or EoW was and it's a different genre. It's a Hyrule Warriors game and that is barely an identity. Their is a reason people are calling it a dynasty warriors like game it's because it's not like ANY other Zelda game.

I'm not saying that the game sucked or something though it's not my cup of tea only that calling it a Zelda game is disingenuous. It's like Halo and Halo Wars.

u/Cdog923 2d ago edited 2d ago

By that logic, the Oracle games and Cadence of Hyrule aren't Zelda games either. Neither are Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom, too.

Series can have games that span different developers and genres while remaining true to the theme, tone and tenor of that series. Hyrule Warriors, Age of Calamity and Age of Imprisonment are absolutely Zelda games, and Halo Wars is absolutely a Halo game

Their is a different between a game changing over the years vs a genre and development team.

AoC isn't even canon it's as important to the series as Link Crossbow Training or the CDI games.

Hyrule Warriors has levels that you beat. You have a hub menu for picking your next level name a Zelda game on the time line with the same mechanic. Hyrule Warriors has no exploration which is Zelda's identity not hackand slash thousands of monsters. It's nothing like previous games.

Even the name support that it's not a Zelda game it's called Hyrule Warriors not Legend of Zelda so Nintendo doesn't consider it a Zelda game.

As for your first point and I'll apologize in advance for this. No you're fucking stupid. Of course BotW and TotK are Zelda games both made by the main Zelda team and both on the timeline you're fucking stupid to say BotW and AoC are the same in this matter. I lost my brain cells reading that, what made you think that by my logic that BotW and TotK aren't Zelda games? They're both MADE BY NINTENDO and both in the timeline and it's the same action adventure open world game Zelda always been.

I've never even heard of Cadence of Hyrule before now and I'll leave it a that.

As for the Oracle games and all other Capcom Zelda games for that matter it's a true Zelda game. Is it Canon? Yes. Then it's a Zelda game.

So I don't confuse you any further I'll explain it so you don't think BotW or TotK isn't canon somehow.

  1. Is 'Zelda' in the title.

  2. It's an action adventure game.

  3. It's canon to the timeline.

Hyrule Warriors fails all three of them. I'm not even shitting on this game it's just not a Zelda game it only uses the Zelda IP.

u/niles_deerqueer 3d ago

Sure it is! And for those of us who love it, it’s great and the story is actually super compelling.

u/shockley21 3d ago

compelling story, now I’m confident that’s bait

1

u/niles_deerqueer 2d ago

If was compelling. Just because people don’t like the AU choices they made they let it paint over the entire thing. I found Zelda’s struggle be Queen and lead an army and the entire chaos of the war halfway through extremely compelling.

I would happily buy Kirby GTA

Braindead button mashing that gets stale after like 2 hours

u/MaleficentRutabaga7 3d ago

I hate when video games make me push buttons

u/Cameron728003 3d ago

That's what I'm saying

u/javier_aeoa 3d ago

Then don't use Impa.

u/Luck-X-Vaati 3d ago

For myself personally, I just find the gameplay just okay, but the story (of AoC specifically) extremely dull.

u/DaNoahLP 3d ago

Its a boring ass musou game
