Pretty big improvement going from the Wii U version to this. I even missed out on some new levels in Legend mode. Just gotta play it little by little...

So I think I've done somewhat as much as my previous Wii U run. Except I had many more high-level characters on Wii U, and I did Master Quest map instead of Great Sea.

Currently I've done:
- Legend Mode (Normal)
- First Adventure map (60%)
- Great Sea map (60%)
- Twilight Princess map (40%, which is pretty much where I left the Wii U game).

I'm currently progressing in the TP map, but consistently being stopped by underpowered character requirement. Tho I love going back A-ranking levels for heart containers, and unlocking lv.2/3 weapons. Have to do this with Volga tonight.

The skulltulas unlock a special adventure mode map. Each time you complete a picture you unlock a new square on it. It has the Dark Link skin for Link as well as recolors for various characters based on the bosses (such as an Argorok recolor for Zelda).
Thanks for this info. Greatly appreciate it.

Is there an appropriate path for maxing out characters or just min/max it? Guessing to reach full on all requires a ton of grinding?

Okay, quick question since I just found out there is a Block Button...does anyone use it?

I got through Legend on Normsl without knowing about it!

Haha I said the same thing a few pages back. It is useful against giant bosses in adventure mode. Once you unlock the badge where you can tank the first hit you receive in a combo without knock back. Then you block the first hit, tank the second, and Dodge out of the way of the third. At least that's what I found it useful for. It'll get me from next to a Manhandla to outside it's poison AOE attack most of the time. It's mainly a glorified camera reset button most of the time.

I was showing my friend who thinks the game is too easy around the game and then I got my Level 25 Sheik her 4+ Weapon (from first few levels of Koholint Island Map) by him playing as Level 41 Link with 300 Master Sword in co-op.

For contrast, I'm like only 20% done if both Adventure Map and Windwaker Map, so...yeah...

Won't use my 500 Damage Weapon all the time though. Only when I'm really stuck on a level.

If a stuttery 25fps is perfectly fine to you then power to you. Also Im sure it's playable for most people in handheld, myself included, it's just not ideal and it's a shame they couldn't get it to run any smoother in either Handheld or Docked...especially since the Wii U version had a more consistent, albeit lower than docked, framerate.

A solid 60fps for this game would be a dream come true...hopefully the "Switch Pro" will help with that whenever\if they release one.

Noob here.

I don't really ubdeunders why the characters I'm NOT playing as keep going back to the same spot and standing there. Aren't they supposed to move around if I'm not playing as them?

Should I even be swapping characters? It makes me pick someone at the beginning of the map, but then I use them all equally throughout. Am I doing it wrong? I want them all to level up equally. What makes them level up? Just playing as them? So if I play 50% Link and 50% Impa, will they both level up the same regadlereg who I was forced to pick at the beginning?

Do I unlock any characters in legend mode or do I have to play adventure mode?

You only unlock the ones you get after the first level and Tetra and WW King when you get to that point.

You level them up by fighting as them.

And are you sure you didn't tell them to go to the spots? As they seem to always follow that order no matter what.

Regardless, I just set my characters to follow me (by commanding them to my character) sometimes, especially when dealing with bosses for the bonuses.

Hmmm....okay, thanks. I didn't know I could tell them to do anything, lol

UI on handheld mode is so small. I played a few stages yesterday after getting the game and lost myself in the mini map quite a few times.

Fired it up on my 50 inch TV today and damn. Perfect.

It just feels like it wasn't tested much for handheld. You have these massive text boxes and I'm squinting to read text inside of them.

I really and truly do not understand the stuttering and frame pacing comments coming about when dealing with undocked mode.

I've pumped countless hours into this thus far including undocked mode and have not seen any frame pacing or frame rate issues at all save for maybe slight hitching on cut scenes.

It makes me wonder if people have issues with their switch instead, especially since the fan doesn't kick in on mine too much in undocked mode.



As for the game, I beat legends mode, and man is the full ending satisfying. It pretty much cemented this game as one of my favorite all time musou games ever.

That's not a bug. In the Wii U version there was a bug that let you use weapons a character wasn't supposed to have (such as Ganondorf using Agitha's parasol). The glitch was patched however in the DLC maps they added in enemy NPC's which used weapons other than their own as a nod to the glitch.

Ah okay, that is an awesome nod! I still remember the Wii U glitch and thought it was something similar.

I'm addicted to this in a way that FEW just never managed to. I guess it's a combination of my love for the franchise and the fact that the Adventure mode and is just infinitely more
compelling than the additional content in FEW was. I do find myself missing some of the QOL features that FEW had though.

Been having so much more fun than I thought I would with this. Figured it would be a good value and something to play on trips or in between study breaks but I've had to pull myself away from it. Almost done with Legends mode, excited to start jumping into the Adventure maps.

Well now I actually beat Battlechasers I'm back to playing this one again. I'm quite liking Adventure Mode. Did a level that was actually a quiz, which was novel.

FEW, to me at least, seemed so lifeless and sterile compared to HW.

Young Link is broken.

Great Fairy weapon for Link is hilarious! Link has so many amazing weapons.

Wind Waker wand on Zelda is the most useless weapon I've used so far.

I really enjoy using Agatha for some reason. Espescially laying that bug trap.

The game usually stutters with the boss animations. You can see clearly the fps dropping a lot. Also my fairy mode makes the fan cry and game a slugfest on undocked for me. That said I have pumped a lot of hours on undocked and am enjoying it immensely

I just started the game, never played a Dynasty game besides one for like 20 minutes in the PS2 so many years ago. I've only finished the Castle and Volcano levels and I have no idea what I'm doing, it doesn't help that I'm only playing in handheld mode and I can barely read half the stuff that appears on screen. The map is difficult to follow at times and I miss some missions and gold skulltulas because of it.

I hope I eventually know what's happening and what I can do besides button smashing but it's a lot of fun so far.

I just finished chapter playing as Ganondorf and his boys and...holy shit I started getting flashbacks about how brutal this map can be, Zelda and Link don't mess around (specially Zelda), mind you I am playing on hard, but I refused to change the difficulty stubborn as I am

"Lana is escaping".

That scenario caused me a lot of grief since it's around the point where you're trying to grab the Heart Piece for Ganondorf too.

Yeah that's not fun. Even thought I knew what's going to happen I had a defeat here. But still easier than in the Wii U version, at least on Switch you can plan in advance with your other character and make them move accordingly.

So much to do in this game. I'm kinda without a clear goal right now, that's bad. I guess I'll still try to make progress in the twilight map.

Third time I've purchased this game but it has finally grabbed me. I put a bit of time in Fire Emblem Warriors and played it until frustration outweighed the fun. Think I'll do the same here.

The drip feed of rewards and upgrades and stuff to find in Adventure Mode is going to be hard to stop playing.

In the same boat as you. Basically the first Warriors game I've played. And I'm playing docked on a 55" and still miss some stuff and still don't know what I'm doing. Just chugging along hoping things click.

It will, try to learn button combos, Link can charge up fast moving spin attack pressing and holding the strong attack button after combo.

Okay just for kicks I play for a little in undocked. Honestly it's really not that big of a deal. It runs fine and is definitely very much playable. Don't let anyone talk you out of playing undocked.
