The WhatsNext verdict
For Zelda fans who want large-scale battles, playable heroes, and a story set during Hyrule’s ancient war: Fight through enemy armies as Zelda and other heroes, combining their abilities with Zonai Devices against powerful foes. Tradeoff: The focus is on sweeping hack-and-slash battles, with less emphasis on the exploration and puzzle-solving of a mainline Zelda adventure.
