The gameplay is highly similar to that of ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynasty_Warriors Dynasty Warriors]'', but the ''Zelda'' universe serves as the setting. It features multiple playable characters from the ''Zelda'' universe including [[Link]], [[Zelda]], [[Impa]], [[Midna]], [[Agitha]], and more, as well as some original characters including [[Lana]], the villain [[Cia]], and her two henchmen [[Volga]] and [[Wizzro]].


During E3 2014, the game was detailed more by Nintendo and Tecmo Koei. They announced that it features multiple playable characters, including [[Link]], [[Zelda]], [[Impa]], [[Midna]], [[Agitha]], and many more. The game also includes an original playable character, [[Lana]]. The villain was named to be [[Cia]], an evil witch who was once a great sorceress that watched over the balance of the [[Triforce]].{{Ref|''Hyrule Warriors''|Deep in the forests, far from mortal eyes, a great sorceress watched over the balance of the Triforce.|Narrator}} Other villains include [[Volga]] and [[Wizzro]], who are clearly references to [[Volvagia]] and [[Wizzrobe]]s, respectively, of the ''Zelda'' series.
==Story==
The game's story is prompted by the ambitions of a sorceress named Cia. Once a great Seer tasked with watching over the [[Triforce]]{{Ref|''Hyrule Warriors''|Deep in the forests, far from mortal eyes, a great sorceress watched over the balance of the Triforce.|Narrator}}, her heart was corrupted and she became obsessed with Link, setting out to acquire the Triforce so she could wish for his companionship. After raising an army, she attacks [[Hyrule Castle]] and captures Zelda. Link, a promising trainee, steps up to rescue Zelda, meeting many allies along the way.
 
==Gameplay==
{{TODO|attacks and combos, dodging, locking on}}
 
===Weak Point Smashes===
{{Quote|Enemies sometimes expose weak points during specific attacks. A '''Weak Point gauge''' will appear above an enemy's head when it's vulnerable to a counterattack. Whenever you see the Weak Point gauge, attack quickly and brutally to chip away at it. Once the gauge is completely reduced, you'll be able to perform a powerful '''Weak Point Smash'''.|In-Game Description}}
After certain attacks, some enemies will become vulnerable to counterattacks, signified by a Weak Point gauge that appears before their heads. Attack while the gauge is visible to reduce it. Once it is empty, the warrior will perform a powerful Weak Point Smash.
 
===Special Attacks===
{{Quote|Defeating enemies fills your '''Special Attack gauge'''. Press [[File:wiiu_a.png]] / [[File:wiiu_x.png]] to use up your Special Attack gauge and perform a powerful '''Special Attack'''.|In-Game Description}}
Defeating enemies or picking up force pieces fills the Special Attack gauge. When the gauge is full, press A/X (Warriors/Zelda controls) to perform a powerful Special Attack.
 
===Focus Spirit===
{{Quote|Press [[File:wiiu_r.png]] when your Magic gauge is full to use the '''Focus Spirit''' ability. While Focus Spirit is active, attack power and speed increase, incoming knock-back damage is reduced, and defeating a  certain number of enemies will yield various '''special bonuses'''. Press [[File:wiiu_a.png]] / [[File:wiiu_x.png]] while under the effects of Focus Spirit to completely consume your Magic gauge, allowing you to use a '''Focus Spirit Attack''' that knocks your opponents down, exposing their Weak Points.|In-Game Description}}
The Magic gauge is filled using Magic Jars. Press R when the gauge is full to use the Focus Spirit technique. This will temporarily increase the warrior's speed and attack power. At the end of its duration, the warrior will perform a powerful attack. One can press A/X (Warriors/Zelda controls) to end the effect early and perform a different attack which forces enemies' weak point gauges to show.
 
If a certain number of enemies are defeated while Focus Spirit is active, the player will receive special bonuses such as extra rupees, EXP, hearts, rare materials, and high-rank weapons.
 
===Items===
{{Quote|Press [[File:wiiu_zr.png]] to use your currently equipped item, such as '''bombs''' or a '''potion'''.|In-Game Description}}
Press ZR to use the currently equipped item. To switch items, use Left and Right on the D-Pad or use the GamePad's touch screen.

===Item Power-Ups===
{{Quote|By acquiring item power-ups from enemies, you can gain the ability to use stronger versions of items for a short amount of time.|In-Game Description}}
Sometimes defeated enemies drop item power-ups which enable the use of enhanced versions of Link's items. For example, the player may throw a giant bomb with a larger blast radius. The power-up lasts a certain amount of time, after which items return to normal.
