Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition — Zelda’s strategic slasher is better on Switch

No one minds that Nintendo is bringing enhanced Wii U ports to the Switch — the portable console is ideal for revisiting games that underperformed on their original releases. The Switch versions tend to be even better than the originals, too.

If you’re a Legend of Zelda fan who missed Hyrule Warriors when it arrived in 2014, the Definitive Edition is your opportunity to make up for lost time. Under Nintendo’s watchful eye, Koei Tecmo uses Zelda games to reskin its long-lived Dynasty Warriors action-strategy franchise, letting Link and allies hack-and-slash their way through huge armies of monsters. The Switch version includes all the DLC released for the Wii U and 3DS, resulting in a gigantic bundle of fan service.
