Linkle is like Link but with breasts and probably also a vagina, but that's only fanart speculation.

That's not what I wanted to hear :smith: Surely people who are good at these games feel at least some sort of mastery right? It feels like the type of game that should be really cathartic to play, which is the stage I'd love to get to but at my current skill level it feels like juggling cats.


e: also I'm sure it's obvious but it's the first musou game I've played (or even seen played)

Are you playing on hard mode? It's fine to start on normal mode but the difficulties in that game are really just "enemies have more health and hit harder." so it's totally fine to play on easy to get through the main story and then dive into the adventure maps where there isn't a difficulty option.

I bring up difficulty because you might be getting overwhelmed if you're killing things slowly which would make sense if you're playing on a higher difficulty.

Yeah but the base difficulties of those maps is pretty high. You're going to have completed a significant chunk of the earlier maps just to get the levels and weapons you need to get there.

No you don't. Here's some evidence for you:

Literally only did two Adventure Mode squares so far and Ravio is now mine.

It probably does help that actually doing the objectives in Ravio's mission and killing the Advanced Healers that show up when they're done means you can kill Dodongo the standard way, go around to collect Magic to fill your meter, then use some Special attacks on Gohma and kill him with a Dark element user (Ganondorf fully charged C1 -> C3 -> normal attacks until break or Wizzro with badges filled out to get his C4 to spam on Gohma's WPG works wonders for this), even without badges that makes enemies take more WPG damage.

Some other general tips:
-Most of the alerts you're seeing are more general information for you and not something you urgently need to address.
-It doesn't matter too much most of the time if your forts fall as they're easy enough to get back, just worry about if the allied base is reported as about to fall.
-You can pause the game and check your current mission and submissions. If you don't have an urgent problem to fix (you'll eventually get a feel for this) then just work on one of those things and you'll be fine.
-Don't worry about defeating every enemy, mostly just hit what gets in your way and you'll be good to go.

Enemy management in Musou games is usually about cutting off the head of larger squads - the sea of normal baddies are just there to distract you or whittle you down on the way to the officers, which are the mobs that do the actual damage to your own army. Chopping up the mooks is enormously cathartic and how you get money/EXP/meter, but a lot of victory conditions in Musou consist of beelining to the officers or to the enemy spawn gates and taking them out so your map stops drowning in red.

While this is up to individual opinion I believe it's also a good idea to turn off the option to have lifebars over literally every enemy. That way it's more clear which ones are important to focus on since only those ones will have lifebars displayed.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
Here's a really extensive review of Hyrule Warriors I found on youtube.
Seems like it will probably answer anybody's questions if they're still on the fence. I'm pretty sure I'm going to get it now.

If you're just starting out, Hylian Sword is fairly decent to use. Both of Ganondorf's weapons as well as Volga are also really good to start with and Ganondorf's Great Swords and Volga are among the top 5 characters/weapons in the game. Also, if you're starting out, Sheik has a shield move that really helps in the beginning of the game which makes her particularly excellent for beginners.

As for particularly bad characters, Tetra is among the bottom five, as is Fi. The Great Fairy is also a really bad weapon but the character who uses it has other, better weapons so eh. Sand Wand is also rather bad, but it's very fun anyways.
