Hyrule Warriors - The 1000 Hour Complete NIGHTMARE

Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition. I love The Legend of Zelda and Link and the whole world of Hyrule, but this game has the LARGEST content I've ever seen. With DLC, two ports, all on top of the original game it is a daunting task. But this is what I do. I complete games and to COMPLETE Hyrule Warriors was an insane task. This is a very special episode that has encompassed years of my life, and I don't even want to think about Age of Calamity yet.

No, not really. The game is like 20 hours tops, the extra thousand hours needed to fully complete it are literally copy paste bs and repeating levels to the point of giving the players PTSD. You can make any game take inhuman amount of hours if you tell them "If you want to fully completely it, you gonna need to do this same map hundreds of times, with dozens of characters, and in multiple levels of difficulty", would you call that kind of sh*t "Getting your money's worth"?

[@Chase1.9]

@@Your_Native_Mothman if you’re wanting a Dynasty Warriors themed Zelda game where you can destroy countless enemies, nearly 30 playable characters, an absolutely banging soundtrack, and has you taking maybe 2,000 hours total to complete it 100%, then absolutely go for it! It’s so worth it!

[@ladymercy5275]

@@Your_Native_Mothman I'd recommend it. One of my initial concerns that was later proved not an issue worth worrying about was that the gameplay would quickly become far too repetitive once I memorized the combos. This stemmed from not realizing what makes Dynasty Warrior games fun a as from an inexperienced point of view I couldn't really tell the levels apart; they looked like reskinned variants of same gimmick. But now having actually played through it, I realized each level does have its unique challenges, and on hard at least the difficulty is to the point that you actually need to be thinking about the lay-out strategically to be able to clear it. It's not just about smashing the closest baddies as fast you can for as long as you can. Although that's an ever present factor, and learning to chian the same AoE combos tirelessly is obviously going to be a required skill here, there's also a grander flow to each level. I see them now with the attention of detail I would attribute to (mini) dungeons, for other games in the series. Sometimes it's about going over each junction with a fine tooth comb to find a switch or something that you need to smack just to be able to progress to the next quest objective or whatever, but other times there's a momentum aspect involved where going out of your way to secure an extra keep or come up with a creative path to clear each map objective in a timely fashion is the difference between victory or defeat. Timing wave spawns correctly can make a difference. Hell, sometimes spawns happen, and there's just nothing you could have done anyways, except be prepared to spend the next couple of minutes fighting as hard as you can, and hope for the best. So there's a subtle to art to reading the layout of each level design that you'll subconsciously need to master the more you play through out the story mode which gives them a depth I never knew was there before. For a game that at first (1st) glance looked like it was all about the mindless execution of boring, buttan mashable combos for the sake of sheer spectacle, I was surprised to find that it's actually a more thoughtful, tower defense type of game, for sitting down, planning out and then attempting to actuate about 30 minute interval strategies, occasionally needing to replay or entirely change characters depending on what the chokepoint was preventing me from clearing each new twist as the difficulty of the scenarios continually ramped up. Occasionally it's a matter of throughput; be prepared to sit down for a period of time, and grind until the new character unlocked is where they should be. But just as often as not, it's changing your approach to each map that makes a huge difference, once you know what to prioritize. A lot of the time, there's so much going on at once that you have to know what to choose and which to ignore. Perhaps siege units are descending on your base, there's a great fairy fountain that's necessary to unlock but not at this exact moment, but it will grant you a temporary buff the sooner you get it, yet the final boss flies around on this map, it's only in this direction for a limited time, and you have to travel to these points before you can teleport there again if you don't fight it to weaken it now. So what would you do first? Figuring that out, mastering foresight and instant adaptation to varying good and bad news about the state of level with regenerating forces... that's the type of game Hyrule Warriors really is. The combat is its flashiest aspect, and if that's your only favorite part, then there's hours of to be had just enjoying each characters' increasingly absured powers on display. But there's also kind of an intense RTS flavored puzzle-based experience lurking below the surface, for anyone who's of a mind to engage on that level.

I loved the wii u version. Never got legends cause I didn't want to play it on the small handheld screan. When I got a switch I was thinking between de or aoc. Decided on de and after the fun I had on the wii u hw this game has not disapointed me.

[@thatboidarock3731]

After watching this, I realized how Age of Calamity is a walk in a park to 100% compared to this game. And then I realized DLC was announced and it’s most likely going to make 100% even harder

[@moddedinkling4168]

Yes and no. The checklist for 100% is MUCH smaller than being a "completionist," namely the fact that the scoreboards for every mission and challenge don't contribute to the 100% meter.

[@Katie-hb8iq]

Age of calamity took me about 75 hours to complete everything. I didn't do the harder difficulties or the 28 korok seed quest but did everything else. It's very completable with dlc. A logical endpoint that most people can complete and feel satisfied with exists unlike HRDE which has difficulty barriers to prevent skipping content.

[@Ashanmaril]

I completed Age of Calamity with DLC end of last year, and can't remember exactly all of what I did, I think I did everything except max out every character's level and finished off at 80 hours. So yeah, not nearly as bad. I think Nintendo had tighter reigns on what the developers were able to add to this game to not make it stray too far from canon (even though it's basically an alternate timeline). It still feels like it could fit into the BotW universe as opposed to the original HW which felt like Zelda fanfic: the game

[@gameman3981]

@@Ashanmaril The thing about saying that "AoC feels like it could fit in with BoTW." (i'm using slight paraphrasing obviously) is that AoC is semi-canon to the BoTW-story continuity; to be specific basically everything other than the countermeasures against the Champions dying being taken (and the Champions being alive obviously) is canon as a "prequel"-part of BoTW's story as far as I understand. I do own AoC by the way but i haven't finished it yet or even gotten through atleast half of the story (as far as I know), although I have unfortunately spoiled myself about quite a bit of the story.

My god, as a huge fan of Hyrule Warriors, I can't imagine the dedicated effort it would take to 100% it, fully and truly. I love the series, but it is a lot of work. I loved it for the "busy work" it gave me when I would be at the college for all day at times. Gave me something to do and look forward to between classes. And as new versions came out, I'd get them too. It was so much fun, and all the new characters coming out was exciting to see and look forward to. I would love a "proper" Hyrule Warriors 2 though, with Cia, Lana, Linkle, Volga and Wizzro. I still hold out hope for another. I'd love to see some Minish Cap and Four Swords love, maybe some ALTTP love too. It's such a fun series, even if I only tackle it in short bursts at a time.

Reminds me of when i completed Dynasty Warrior's Gundam 3...Listen, never. EVER. Complete. A dynasty warrior's game, Dynasty Warrior's games have a deceptively huge amount amount of content, especially in recent year's and MOST especially the Nintendo tie in titles like the Fire Emblem Warrior's and Hyrule Warrior's game's. They're meant to be game where you can just pick em up, play em for about an hour and put them down. There's always going to be something for you to do, something for you to collect, but getting all of the content is a nightmare that no one needs to go through. If you do it, it's either out of insanity, love or a combination of both and somewhere a long the way you either gain or lose one of those things. I love the Dynasty Warrior's style games because of the amount of content and time you can sink into it, it's just one of those games you don't have to put down when you win, you put it down when your satisfied. Completing them is not satisfying.

[@PJiggles]

Congrats Jirard! I'm currently about 690 hours into this game on my road to completion, so seeing this video, I know the struggle man. Anyways in case it would please you to hear it, completing Age of Calamity is a waaaaaaaaaaaaay smaller task than Definitive Edition, the level cap for each character is just 100, which isn't a lot higher than the level you'll be when you beat the game. I won't spoil how many characters and movesets there are but there are considerably less than in Definitive Edition. Completing Age of Calamity took me around 90 hours, and I'd say it was worth it. It offers things that the original doesn't while still being somewhat similar, but even after having poured hundreds of hours into the original I can say the game was worth it. Overall I consider the original to be a better game, but Age of Calamity is still great in its own right in case you'd ever want to attempt it for the show or your own time. But for now, please take it easy!

I honestly prefer Age of Calamity over the original. It may have less content but it is way more fleshed out and refined. It's a testament to quality over quantity. Also I have all three versions of OG Hyrule Warriors and just don't want to play through the campaign again.

[@indigofenix00]

In earlier ages, games were designed to be completed. There was a limited amount of content you could squeeze into a single disk, and getting everything was often needed to unlock the golden ending or a final reward. Once that happened, though, the game was over - there was nothing left to do. If you wanted to play the game again years later, you would have to erase your save file, or you'd feel like you were doing nothing. But as time progressed and the ability to pack more and more content into a game expanded, the philosophy of game design itself shifted. Games were no longer something you finished - they were something to come back to, time and time again, and always be able to find something new. You would never have to "start over" - you could set new goals for yourself, and there would always be a new goal to strive for. Games with huge lists of ways to customize your character, cosmetic or otherwise (when you can only have a few active at once), for instance, almost always fall into this category. You're not SUPPOSED to get them all, even if you theoretically can. You're supposed to get the ones you like the most and in doing so tailor the experience to your own tastes. After that point they serve as new goals to keep playing for when you feel like coming back to the game, but getting them all isn't really "completing the game" in the same way that, say, getting 120 stars in Super Mario 64 or unlocking the True Endings of DKC2 or 3 are. In short, games like these were not MEANT to be completed. They were meant to be an insurmountable mountain, an escape from life, a whole other world that would always offer something new, and most importantly, a way to have fun. To complete a game like this is to expose its bounds, to reveal it for the fantasy that it is, and in doing so, destroy that fantasy itself. You are The Completionist. But the world of triple-A games no longer *wants* completionists. It may be time to re-focus on smaller titles that still use the old philosophy of completionism, or to come up with a new, more appropriate definition of "completion" for titles such as this.

[@2401blue]

This sort of thing has been on my mind ever since Crash 4 came out, and Spelunky 2 continued the thought. It kinda seems like paradigms of creation are shifting and both devs and players have a need to adapt.

[@bhic4]

You are right but still... This game is ALWAYS reminding you that you didn't get it all, it is shaming you! 😂😭

[@nuclear9929]

I agree. I was honestly surprised when jirard completed this, because i thought he would avoid games like these. Idk, it just seems like actual torture to sit down and do this with the thought in mind of completing it. Sure, we may do it half heartedly and occasionally attempt such a feat, but in order to do so would be to throw your life away. Please never do this again Jirard. It isn't wirth your time or effort. It is an incredible feat to defeat what is not meant to be deafeted, but the cost is realizing you could have done that with a game you enjoy.

[@ShockwavesFTW]

I largely agree with you except on your last point. I'm unsure of what you mean by AAA games no longer wanting completionists. What standard are you using to assert that? Do you mean modern AAA multiplayer games like Apex Legends or a new Call of Duty? If so, then you're right, largely because modern multiplayer games are purposely harder and harder to "complete". Or do you mean modern AAA single player games? If so, that's where I have to disagree. Most modern singleplayer games still easily allow for completionism, even if it's only extrinsically rewarded through achievements and trophies. Take Sony and their 1st party 3rd person games, for example. In God of War, Days Gone, or Spider Man, you can easily complete the game and feel good doing so. Basically, what I'm trying to say is that although I agree that the hobby completionism seems to be harder and less appealing, I still think it isn't going anywhere, especially for single player games. Personally, my only wish is that games start including intrinsic rewards for fully completing the game again. If they can't do skins or extras like that, a "100%" on your save file would be more than enough for me.

[@samueltheprideofafrikarobi9319]

@@nuclear9929 Agreed. It seems to me that to force yourself to complete something this massive that's inherently all grind would cause you to eventually hate it...even if you completely loved it in the beginning. As he himself said, he can't even be bothered to want to play Age of Calamity (or any other DW title) simply because of the toll that completing this game took out on him. And that's a shame because, in my humble opinion, AoC is superior to this title in nearly every way. That sucks. When you get to the point that your hobbies are no longer things you love, you have a problem. Gaming should not be a job...it should be a joy.

I know this is years later but i'm sorry that you had to have this game as your introduction to the dynasty warriors style. I myself am still trying to complete it, years have passed and been taking big breaks to avoid burnout.

Hopefully you one day play one of the other warrior games...hopefully dynasty warriors 8 complete edition, that's a good one, just for fun.

[@Chronoflation]

Age of Calamity is, even the original release of this could be said is, but DE definitely isn't...even though it actually is built around not even unlocking all the characters (much less the weapons), unless you push for, perhaps not 100%, but very very high levels of completion. This game is THE fanservice game to end all fanservice games. It was designed so that it could be played over a lifetime to celebrate Zelda. It's not meant to be forced through like this, but it arguably is designed to be completed. I think Ganon designed the game himself, it's really evil in how it spaces out the content. The original let you complete each character and DLC set with their respective maps and this one spreads out everything over all maps. Insanity. I can't recommend full completion of AoC either (it only unlocks the Hyrule Warrior outfit for Link, so it really ends with a whimper), but getting close to completion there is a side quest path that unlocks a final, secret character, and that's really cool, but I think the path to that opens up right after beating the final chapter of the story anyways, so the side missions are...probably...largely optional. I'm not really sure cause I did them all as they unlocked anyways, lol

[@BainesMkII]

I'd argue that Warriors games aren't meant to be "completed" in this fashion except by the most diehard and/or bored of fans. You just play them until you get bored of them, or until the next Warriors game than interests you is released. The content is just there to keep you occupied until you decide you are done. Similar goes for the sheer number of Warriors games that get released. Hyrule Warriors was honestly a bit of a weird case, as it was made to draw in non-Warriors fans and was released on a platform that didn't see seemingly three new Warriors games released per year, and Nintendo/Koei went far beyond the normal Koei standard for amount of content delivered.

That was the Switch version, he played it on a train and iirc he had to complete the first adventure mode map before the ride was over.

[@shortmario2385]

@@limegol He had to beat Legend Mode and complete the Termina Map before the train arrived in Seattle. I don't remember if he had to complete Legend Mode or just beat it tho, but I do remember he barely finished Legend Mode

5:16 how could you not? He mentions it in this video o.0

@@x.MaverickHunter.x I meant as in who actually watched it

[@quag311]

I have not clicked on a video so fast. I remember Jirard taking a train to Redmond to do a promo for this which resulted in him wearing a Tingle costume.

7:44 preach! Linkle is so awesome!

[@triwolfdelta737]

I remember playing this game and im still only on the first map trying to complete it myself with it being my most played game already. When I saw this video done I was super shocked and was amazed you did this to yourself

[@aaronr.265]

“Lackluster sales” Hyrule Warriors and Age of Calamity are the highest selling Dynasty Warriors games tho

[@Chugalg]

Highest selling Warriors game doesn't mean much, especially compared to any Nintendo first party series.

[@aaronr.265]

200,000 in it’s first week in the U.S. is pretty good for a niche spin off on the Wii U but okay

I think he meant in the Wii u

7 months ago, Completionist fanbase: Congratulatons Jirard, you made the right choice, wasting 700 hours of your life wasn't worth it. Jirard now, merely uploads hyrule warriors definitive edition video: Fanbase: JIRARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE're taking away all of your video game equipment right now do not resist, we called the FBI. You will be sent to the hospital. No regrets.

[@matthewdavidson5377]

This is the best video I’ve seen on this channel. I know this is mean to say, but I want Jirard to do more games like this. Completing games that no sane gamer would ever be able to complete. Kudos to Jirard for pulling this off. Very, very impressive. Other games with monumental completionist challenges: Disgaea, Skyrim, Path of Exile, Warframe.

[@servien9683]

The Trogdor reference just made this my favorite video you've done haha

[@zanthiablue5254]

I will admit that this has not discouraged me from my plan to eventually complete this game. It may take years but it will happen.

[@Famous_Author_John]

I'm right there with you. Hyrule Warriors, best game of the century.

[@pennypeas4665]

I got the game a few months back and it took me 80 hours to 100% the first adventure map. I dunno if I'll 100% but getting the Master Sword and all the items/costumes for fighters and fairies is goal enough for me right now, and I'm having a blast with it.

[@tomurien9364]

I'm planning to complete it too, but I need someone to explain for me how to raise the fairies, cause they are a pain in that place, a friggin PAIN, all the rest just takes time, the fairies I just don't understand their mecanics

[@FinalFaintasy]

Seeing the amount of time he put into this makes me want to play it more now lol.
