The main gameplay of ''Hyrule Warriors'' is within individual stages. Most stages involve capturing enemy keeps and ultimately defeating a certain character or captain, though many have different requirements such as defeating giant bosses or a certain number of enemies. ''Hyrule Warriors'' continues the traditional ''Dynasty Warriors'' combat style of using various combo attacks on hordes of enemies. | The main gameplay of ''Hyrule Warriors'' is within individual stages.
