Daily Debate: Would Another Hyrule Warriors Game Work?

Hyrule Warriors first hacked and slashed its way on to Zelda fans Wii U’s in 2014 and since then there has been a 3Ds game Hyrule Warriors: Legends which added additional content, a definitive edition of the game that released in 2018, and now Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity which released in 2020. It seems like the Hyrule Warriors franchise has covered every inch of the Zelda-verse, so would another game work?

As much as I love the Hyrule Warriors games I’m going to give a hard no on this one. Don’t get me wrong, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity became an instant favorite for me, but after two waves of DLC and most, if not all, of the other Zelda titles being covered in some way I’m not sure if Hyrule Warriors could do anything else. Maybe they would have some source material once Breath of the Wild 2 has been out for awhile, but it would almost feel like a repeat of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. There comes a time for game franchises to leave a series be, and maybe the Hyrule Warriors series has reached the end of what they can do with the world of Zelda, for now.

What do you think, would another Hyrule Warriors game work? Let us know in the comments below!
