What is this? Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is basically the all in one package version of Hyrule Warriors(WiiU)/Hyrule Warriors: Legends(3DS), for the Nintendo Switch. Basically the MK8:D version of those games. If you've missed out on the Wii U or 3DS entries, this is a warriors/muso game but with Legend of Zelda. If you don't know what a muso/warriors game is, it's basically a "murder hordes of little enemies with flashy combos" game. You can pick from a huge variety of characters from the Zelda series ranging from the obvious (Link, Zelda), to the weird (Tingle), to the slightly obscure (Agitha from Twilight Princess, Marin from Link's Awakening) What's new?
How do I unlock <x>? Items:
Alternate moveset weapons: Link's Fire Rod, and Lana's Spear are unlocked in Legend's mode. The remainder are on the first adventure mode map, with I think just Toon Link's Sand Wand being on the Grand Travels map. I haven't tried for that yet but it doesn't look to be too deep in the map. Folt the Bolt made a detailed post with all the weapon upgrade unlock locations. But they follow a mostly logical path of rank 2s in Great Sea, and Rank 3s in Master Mode maps. Characters found in the later maps generally have their weapons also on those maps. (Ravio and Yuga both have fairly easy to access rank 2 weapons.) Tips, Tricks, etc.

Additional info, tips, and strategy: Elemental Weakness Chart from Reddit Folt The Bolt posted:There's a map in Lorule where you can grind upwards of 10000+ KOs in around 20 minutes (its the mission right below Ravio's Lv. 2 weapon mission). Said mission spawns 3 Summoners who will summon mooks for quite a while as you complete the first mission. If you have the Rupee effect added to the Ravio board (use a Bomb item), you can get upwards of 60000-80000 rupees per go battling the summoned mooks, or upwards of 90000-100000 rupees and more per go if you have the Rupee+ skill on your weapon, as well as 100+ Rock materials to use for any Apothecary items requiring bronze materials. On top of that, it's pretty doable with a Lv. 30 character and with the EXP+ skill, you can also get a decent amount of levels for a low-level character as you farm the other stuff.

The A-rank requirements is 16k, not 14, for the harder maps. Other than that good OP.

Grabbed this yesterday and played through the first half dozen story missions. I feel like they're taking me way longer to finish than the game expects, though maybe it's just me learning to prioritize and learn the ropes in my first Warriors game. It was taking me 20-30 minutes to clear each level and 40 for the first spider. Maybe I should be giving orders more often (ie, constantly). Also I did the first little area in Adventure, and the second area with the elemental (??) fairy stuff didn't make immediate sense and I failed, but I'm sure I'll figure it out.

It's hardly an unreasonable expectation since Fire Emblem Warriors had that performance mode which helped out a lot. It'd be cool if they patched that in at some point.

Lana would be 10x better if she would just shut up. Her voice is the worst. She's a fun character with cool weapons and movesets but THAT VOICE uuuuugh. Anyway being able to buy item cards alone is worth the price of admission, I think. That'll make getting through Adventure mode soooooooooo much less tedious when I don't have to clear this map to get a compass so I can get a bomb so I can get an ice arrow so I can get a hookshot to use on that map to get a weapon unlock.

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head with what I was getting at. Also the Deku Spear is almost downright awful because not only does it suck, it sucks slowly. The one thing I really wish I had in this game was some kind of animation skip for special attacks and weak point attacks. Some of them are just obnoxiously drawn out.

Mostly good OP. It should probably also be noted that Medli, Marin, and Toon Zelda also have their Lv. 2 weapons be relatively early and easy to get on the MWW, Koholint, and GT maps. (Basically, if you can get a Rank 2 weapon relatively easily on the latter missions of the Great Sea Map, you should be able to get it on the other maps with Rank 2 Weapons.) I'd also note that the Imprisoned you see on the elemental weakness chart refers to the mini-Imprisoned you occasionally need to fight as they're treated like regular officers in terms of power. You will also note how Lightning and Water are very good for hitting some of the most dangerous enemy officers in the game (Lightning gets Dinolfos, Aeralfos, and Shield Moblins, Water gets Lizalfos and Fiery Aeralfos and, for this game only, Redead Knights). Light and Dark hit a lot of characters for supereffective damage with the tradeoff that the regular enemies they hit are the weakest and rarest regular enemy officers. Fire... kinda blows in terms of effective damage, which would have made it the least preferred primary element if it wasn't for the fact that the effect on Water element attacks is loving garbo. Also, elemental damage is determined by the weapon you use, not the moveset's various elemental attacks, which means that all of Sheik's attacks, from her normal string to her water tornado to her fire meteor, etc. etc. will always deal more damage to characters/enemies weak against Lightning like Ruto or Dinolfos (which leads to the funny image of Ruto taking increased damage to a loving water tornado of all things) while Ganondorf with his Lv. 4+ weapon would now deal increased damage to characters like Midna, Ghirahim, and Zant in addition to who he normally hits for supereffective damage like Link and Zelda, with all of his attacks due to the addition of the Light attribute to that weapon. Now, I'll finish up my elemental weakness stuff and talk about giant bosses. Unlike regular characters/enemies, giant bosses take neutral damage from any element. Unlike regular characters/enemies, their WPGs are emptied quicker by the correct elemental attack: these elemental attacks usually apply the corresponding elemental effect to regular enemies which give you a good hint as to what will be effective against which boss's WPG when all is said and done. As for which boss's WPG is emptied faster by which elemental attack is as follows: King Dodongo's WPG is emptied out further by Water-elemental attacks. Gohma's WPG is emptied out further by Dark-elemental attacks. Manhandla's WPG is emptied out further by Fire-elemental attacks. Argorok's WPG is emptied out further by Lightning-elemental attacks. The Imprisoned's WPG is emptied out further by Light-elemental attacks. Ganon's WPG is emptied out further by Light-elemental attacks. Helmaroc King's WPG is emptied out further by Fire-elemental attacks. Phantom Ganon's WPG is emptied out further by Light-elemental attacks. What stumps most people is that elemental damage and elemental attacks are not the same thing in this game. elemental damage is determined by weapon and is what affects character and officer enemy weaknesses. Elemental attacks are assigned to each individual attack in a moveset (an attack is either neutral which doesn't affect anything or of one of the five elements which typically comes with the corresponding elemental effect) and is what determines if the attack can down a particular Giant Boss's WPG faster than any other. And as some people know, certain bosses recover from their particular downed state faster than others which means that Light elemental attacks are extremely useful to have for a boss killer, then comes Fire, Dark, and Lightning-elemental attacks in that order. Water-elemental attacks is the least useful elemental attack to have because King Dodongo, the only one whose WPG takes more damage from Water-element attacks is also the boss that recovers the slowest which means that the majority of the characters can easily take his WPG down in one go with the right attacks. This is why Sheik, whose C3 is Fire-elemental will empty Manhandla's WPG faster than it would against, say, Argorok. Bonus Lesson: So some might wonder why people say water is the worst element in HW when clearly Fire isn't hitting very many (hard) enemies for supereffective damage? Well, that is all because of it's elemental effect. See, Water applies a damage-over-time effect to the enemy which sounds good. What is not so good is that said effect makes the enemies flinch whenever that damage applies which is very bad if you're doing a combo on them as the flinch makes them fall out of your combos and tanks your character's combo potential (and damage output by proxy). In contrast, Fire's effect is not good, but not bad either, Light is fine when you can apply it which you can't really plan around (but when you can take advantage of it, it works very well), Lightning applies a very useful increased damage output to launched enemies which increases damage output, and Dark vastly increases (and continues to increase to a very good max) damage against a single enemy which is actually incredibly useful since most strong enemies are dispatched through 1v1. One of the best water-element users: King Daphnes, avoids the Water effect entirely for his combos since the ones that do apply it (C4, C6) are his crowdclearers while the attacks used for his actual combos (C2, C3, C5) are neutral. By contrast, Water as a secondary element on a Lv. 4+ weapon is actually very good because of the difference between elemental damage and elemental attacks outlined above. Weapons without Water-element attacks gain all the benefits of dealing supereffective damage to regular enemies without the horrible Water effect tanking their combo potential. The element that is the worst secondary element is of course Fire because you get the smallest (and least useful) supereffective pool of enemies and won't empty Manhandla and Helmaroc King's WPGs faster than normal. Also, if you're wondering which characters are the best of their respective elements when given to the hands of an experienced player, here's the generally agreed upon list: Fire: Volga Water: Ruto & King Daphnes Lightning: Yuga Light: Master Sword!Link Dark: Great Sword!Ganondorf, Young Link, & Skull Kid Whereas if you want to know which characters of each element that is the best to use when you're just starting out and learning the game, here's another list: Fire: Magic Rod!Link, Volga, Linkle Water: Giant Blade!Impa, Marin Lightning: Sheik, Book of Sorcery!Lana, Trident!Ganondorf Light: Hylian Sword!Link, Master Sword!Link Dark: Great Sword!Ganondorf, Cia, Twili Midna, Skull Kid Jade Mage posted:Anyone know the easiest route to get Toon Zelda?

I recommend going in with a dark user (preferably Ganondorf with Great Sword since his C1 when fully charged makes you immune to damage as he's rising for the ground punch).

Fire Emblem Musou was disappointing in some respects, but I seriously hope they patch some of the QOL stuff back into this one because I love the gently caress out of this game. What's the mechanics for fairies in this game? in the 3ds version they worked off Magic meter and it looks like they have their own meter now? how do you build it? and are double shadow fairies still the default best?

That is to say, the fairy on the minimap is the elemental fairy used to neutralize another keep's field effect. The fairy you want to collect was in a jar in a DIFFERENT keep on the map, most likely. Go back and smash literally every brown pot on the map. Yes, this is a big stupid thing. Also, the audiovisual cue for picking up the fairy is the same as picking up low-relevance items like crafting materials, so its easy to miss when you do get it. But it's there, in a brown pot somewhere on the map.

Alrighty folks you ready for a riddle? I'm playing the Termina Map, the world ended and I started adventuring east because I see a sweet Zelda weapon I'm hoping is my beloved baton. Get to area 4 down 13 across (the one with the goron face). "Sup, the enemies are hidden and need to be revealed" Okay... So where are the Zora masks to reveal them? There's one right there, but I can't get past 4d-13a to get to it. I check to the south, nada. I check to the north, nada. Okay they must be west... There they are! I start mapping the route and lo and behold, 4d6a has hidden loving enemies that need to be revealed. How the gently caress does this work, can someone who knows what they're doing explain to me what the hell is happening here? My map for reference

No Breath of the Wild additions? Aw. (Maybe fresh DLC? Though they didn't do that for MK8...) Anyway I never got the 3DS edition due to the tech problems so this will be another re-bought game! They kind of have to, since all Nintendo has for new character fighters since the WiiU/3DS version are her, the Inklings/Octolings, the Breath of the Wild and Xenoblade 2 cast, and maybe some Pokemon. (The Animal Crossing cast never gets to be fighters.) Even if Smash on Switch is just a port of that one they gotta add something new besides including the DLC.
