"Solid"
Re-arranged into flamboyant rock and metal versions, the mythic themes of the Zelda saga accompany battles against thousands of enemies. Screaming guitars and an unleashed orchestra turn every melee into an epic concert. This electric reworking of Zelda's sonic heritage galvanises the action relentlessly.

Mowing down hundreds of enemies with a vast roster of Zelda heroes opens a thrilling, time-consuming action loop. The sprawling Adventure mode, characters to unlock and weapons to upgrade hold you for dozens of hours. That generosity of musou content, laced with fan service, justifies a longevity action fans cultivate.

Is Hyrule Warriors Legends still worth playing in 2026?
A 3DS version of Hyrule Warriors, Legends brings the Zelda musou to handheld and adds new characters and missions, including heroes from The Wind Waker. The brawly joy of sweeping away hundreds of enemies with the saga's figures stays intact, served by generous fan service. The console's tech suffers from the number of enemies on screen and the musou formula repeats fast. A delightful pick for Zelda fans and lovers of large-scale beat-em-ups on the move.
