- Hyrule Warriors is a simple, repetitive, fun game that is a love letter to all Zelda fans in how they carefully pay attention to most games at the time and how they crafted so many fun gameplay styles for its wide roster of characters, but as usual, some of said movesets are better than others, AND YOU KNOW I LOVE ME SOME TIER LISTS, today I'm ranking those gameplay styles.

I kinda love that this list truly is "I find it fun, so it's high ranked." Rather than deeply analyzing every move. It's refreshing.
Zant fans obliterated by Midna Truthers
Always winning bros
@@TheGameShelf Zant fans when we drop a nuclear blast on them and they cease existence
Bro it is borderline cruel how good this video is and CZcams is barely giving you any views it's so unfair
I've just started my zelda adventure with the lastest game, although i've still new to the franchise i'm impressed how nintendo makes every game different but enjoyable while adding interesting and sometimes timeless (and powerful) characters from what i've seen, cannot wait to try all of them one by one.
honestly i wouldve recommended starting with a link to the past, because the 2 newest games are literally nothing like the older ones (which really pisses me off, if you couldnt tell 💀) but theyre still good, great games, but…theyre not the best zelda games. botw is flawed in many ways in terms of story, dungeons looking all the same (and not even being called dungeons…wtf) and all 4 dungeon bosses basically just looking like different phases of the same boss. its a great game, but definitely not the best zelda. tears of the kingdom seemed to fix almost all of breath of the wilds flaws, but while they brought back classic enemies, and generally made it a lot better, its not like the older games still. although totk definitely is one of the best zelda games unlike botw. but point is, you wont get that same classic zelda experience with the newer games because nintendo just changed it too much. the only thing making botw a zelda game is the title and character names. although you’re definitely going to love tears of the kingdom, along with the rest of the franchise. i just wish nintendo would stop changing the series and milking/excessively mentioning/advertising those new games.
@agynth Mario and Pokémon have games that are very different than the older ones too, but they still are Mario and Pokémon, so I personally still enjoy BotW and ToTK, but I totally agree with the criticism of the bosses.
Hyrule Warriors Legends has always been one of my favorite 3DS games so seeing you cover it is awesome. Also, Trident Ganondorf is my main, so seeing him placed at S-Rank is very well-deserved.
GREAT VIDEO BRO, hope it does even better
My personal favorites are Gauntlets Link, Sheik, Swords Ganondorf, Volga and Marin
man i really gotta play definitive edition i didn’t realise how good the legends content was. in wii u version my favs were ganon and young link.
my personal favorite is absolutely trident ganondorf, especially with faster speed he just mows everything with lightning magic and trident throws and especially being that lightning is my favorite natural element it just vibes hard with me.
Otherwise I love gauntlets and chain Link, especially because of the special that SPINS THE ENTIRE FREAKIN WORLD. Fierce Deity Young Link because who doesn't like going ham as Fierce Deity, people overlook it often but I feel like Summoning Gate Lana is best Lana, works especially well as a boss buster for time challenges because if you get that Argorok out right as the weak point breaks you can keep on hitting the boss and skip the entire cutscene of dealing a power blow/deal tons of damage before doing more with that power blow.
edit: Also Agitha in Hyrule Warriors was the greatest insult they have ever inflicted upon the potential idea of having Snowboard Yeto slam into enemies, shove enemies for soup and tackle everyone on his way to give his wife unconditional love.
Wish this game had more dlc characters
Majora's first form was my most requested character, being a character with long range attacks with wacky animations, like his walking animation being him moonwalking, their dash being them reverting to the mask form, an attack where they just goes Russian dancing, maybe attacks that use the whips from their final form
Vaati being my second most wanted character, him being a projectile base character that turns enemies to stone or maybe controlling enemies around him
a variant for toon link based of the minish cap could have been great addition to accompany Vaati, using his ability to create duplicates when making the spin attack, close attacks using the mole claws or sucking and shooting enemies using the jar would have made a great moveset. Imagine his supermove being his ability to shrink but instead of himself he shrinks everyone around him or maybe making an enemy grow giant, referencing the giant chuchu boss(which wasn't really giant but still)
Maybe that's the thing I think Skull Kid missed, the Majora's Mask transformations would've been so cool to see in action
The fact vaati was never included feels very weird, like apart from ganondorf and demise he is the 3rd biggest villain in the franchise with I think three games to his name and yet he didn't get so much as a reference as far as I know like how one of ganondorf's costumes references malladus
Excelent video man, I have a soft spot for this game
I appreciate how most characters in the video have different music depending on their game
Wow I haven't heard of this game in a long while. Since I just played the non dlc wii u version I remember Midna, Sheik and Volga being my favorite characters.
22:39 “ME VENGO.” Puedo identificarme al 100%, mi buen señor. LOL
I love how positive you are about all of the weapons. Even with the bad ones you say something good about them. Also ranking them based on how fun they are is a good way to do it.
THANK YOU FOR RELEASING THIS I NEEDED NEW CONTENT
I try to be consistent by releasing every Friday! But this one took me longer cause of length and personal stuff lol, hope you enjoy it!
@@TheGameShelf Completely agree with most of the stuff. Like great fairy is so underrated so I'm glad to see it's b tier here
I never thought I would hear Doofenshmirtz rate Hyrule Warriors movesets
Fun vid 😊
Awesome video bro.
Thank you so much dude! Hope you've been enjoying the rest of the channel too!
Zant and Fi in D tier, literally unsubbed
Jk it's interesting to see your favorites, I personally love Linkle with Crossbow, Midna, and Lana the best. I need to play much more though, I have a fantastic time with most of the characters. I wanna get all the best rankings, collect everything, almost 100% it.
Dual-Sword Ganondorf is probably my fav to play. His huge AoE and massive damage on standard strong attack is nutty. Twili Midna and YL are both really nuts to play. It's to the point YL feels like cheating.
I'd probably put Marin, Ganondorf (both), Ball and Chain Link, and Rapier Zelda a tier higher.
And Zant. Bruh. All you need to do is learn the timings for his gauge and you can fill it super easily. From there, I advise against the spin and go shooting the lil bullets. That MELTS WPG. It makes him an absolute monster, especially with Hasty
As for Shiek and Skull Kid, I love using them...when my TV is muted. I hate how every attack has a musical effect, and how many attacks do they do per map? Youre CONSTANTLY hearin the ocarina toot or harp effect.
Also Volga+Hasty is best of all worlds. He gets his huge AoE so quickly he can solo most things.
Finally....I'm stunned you have such a huge level difference between Midna, Link, and most everyone else in the video. I thought it might have been old footage and most everyone is ~150 but it sounds like no? No wonder some attacks seem weak on, say, Cia. At a good level she has insane AoE and good damage potential. Her summoning multiple Links in front of a large boss can destroy WPG like nothin. Love using her.
This is such a unique tier list. So many of them just go by the numbers, but there is a lot more to a character. It's cool to see a list take into account how they feel to play, and the personality and style of each character.
Aw thanks friend! I really appreciate that
Yeah usually I don't like to get TOO technical with what is objectively the better thing, I think there's a bigger opportunity to discuss stuff from personal points of view
Can't believe I wasn't notified of this video releasing
At least I have something good to watch while I eat
For Linkle’s Pegasus Boots, they may have taken their namesake from said item, but we can see in various shots that the design is based off of the “Iron Boots” & “Roc’s Feather” items throughout the series.
I am glad you rated Marin so high, she's honestly one of my favorite characters of this game. I absolutely agree with the point of a character who sounds like they are enjoying themselves making it that much more fun to play. That's mostly why I enjoy Marin, she's fun to play and with her personality she even sounds like she is enjoying it. That helps amps the fun even more, since it makes it so you and the character are almost in sync with each other on the overall fun and action.
> Wizzro higher than Fi
No hay un Dios
EDIT: Marin es S tier, tus pecados han sido perdonados hermano, recibe la gracia del Señor.
Si hago algo mal minimo lo compensare despues
i have only just played this game and the sequel a few weeks ago and i absolutely love it cant believe it took me this long
Damn, I only put around 25 hours in this game, and I've seen only about half of the roster myself. Gotta give this a fair revisit some time after I'm done with TotK.
I skipped out on Age of Calamity entirely, because my head literally hurt from the horrible performance in the demo, but the first game runs pretty okay on the Switch.
It's a good time if you have nothing else to play
I love Age of Calamity but yeah I agree the framerate is beyond horrible, so I can't blame anyone for dropping it
You're the only person I know that would rank great fairy over master sword Link.
Such a fun video covering one of my fave games ever!! Also your love for the series makes it all more fun. Great work!!
Pd: porfavorporfavorporvafor más de estos con los demás Warriors cubiertos por tu canal (especialmente esperando de OP y el otro HW). Hay que expandir el amor a los warriors ❤
De hecho queria hacer una tier list del FE Three Hopes pero lo seguia posponiendo porque crei que le iban a meter DLC... y ese DLC nunca llego pipipipi
De One Piece seria interesante, aunque ahi si me faltan desbloquear mas personajes
Young Link by far is my favorite character in the game he makes you feel like a boss. When you turn into Oni/Deity Link.
As a crowd control fighter, I would actually put Cia in the S tier. Whenever she gets surrounded, which of course happens all the time in this game, I just use the attack I like to call “Stomp Me, Mommy!” and she just destroys everything around her. What I especially like about this attack is that commander enemies that get caught in it unguarded are completely helpless and you can just keep juggling them as much as you like. And it absolutely shreds weak point gauges. Cia is also the best character to take on levels where the mission is jist to rack up kills until time runs out, and when you combine her focus meter with Stomp Me, Mommy!, you can easily score in the upper 500s before her meter runs out with rupee, XP, and item drop rate boosts.
In my opinion, Cia is THE most devastating, most ridiculously overpowered close-range fighter in the game. Period. She’s a nuke with a 10/10 body. A Double-H bomb, if you will. In fact, just her close-range game alone puts her in SSS in my opinion.
You forgot Zant has a second strong attack for his madness meter. If you press x after its full and mash Y instead of X, he'll shoots balls od energy rabidly.
You can move him around in a circle while doing it. Shame you missed that. Also you can dodge cancel to eliminate issues with combos leaving you wide open. Very useful for Agitha and Ghirahim.
Actually mashing X does the projectiles, Y is the slashing move but yeah the shot spam is really good. Also this is absolutely a casual and subjective tier list, if you know anything about playing this game well then half this tierlist is just off
I love all weapons of Zelda and Lana. I like all characters tho
Spinner is my favorite. Each combo leaving separate spinners which can be effected by other combos is a lot of fun. Similar to you, faster character's usually throw me off, bht this managed to be an exception.
Worst is Zelda’s baton. Each move feels delayed, the combos don't feel like they do much. The tornado could have been awesome, if the markers that strengthen it didn't disappear so quickly.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one-
But yeah, great list, and 100% agree with Twili Midna being at the top, she's awesome, she and Book of Sorcery Lana are easily my faves
Two things:
1) I love your content. I'm so glad I found this channel through your Latin American representation in videogames video because just listening to your videos is fun.
2) thank you for just playing the game in English. This may sound weird, but whenever I want to see anything in this game, the person playing it, who speaks/uses English, plays the game in an entirely different language. Which is fine, play however you wanna play, but it's a bit jarring for me when a guy is speaking English and plays every other game in English but Hyrule Warriors is left unreadable for me. I am monolingual btw.
Anyways, your videos are great. Keep up the amazing work, bud.
Actually funny enough, naturally I love to support dubs and translations in Latin American Spanish, so whenever a game has a dub I tend to play it that way BUT I also play it with English Text
I just beat Tears of the Kingdom recently and I'm about to release a video about it, all of the game's text is in English but I was fully playing the game with Spanish voices, love it when games let me do that
@@TheGameShelf oh, ok. That's actually kinda cool ngl. Sorry if my initial comment was just weird or anything btw.
@@sygiliph2495 Oh none at all, I get where you're coming from!
I like to give that Latino flavor to my videos but at the end of the day this is still a channel in English so I gotta make it accessible that way
Don't worry I didn't think your comment was weird or anything, I appreciate you took the time to watch the video and comment! Thanks
I really feel like I'm the only person on the planet that enjoy playing as Fi
I love how graceful she is with her attack animations and I think her attacks that moves her around too much plays well into the "dancing across a battlefield" concept. I love how she could keep attacking mobs while on the way to the next objective because of her forward moving attacks, allowing me to maintain my momentum. She does struggle with officers/bosses, so that's something I can't defend on. This is mostly stemming from my experience playing Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U back then, so I do have a bias towards Fi
Hyrule Warriors was the game that introduced me to Fi, and I eventually learn that Fi is a VERY unpopular character in Skyward Sword, on top of being considered the worst character in Hyrule Warriors (both seriously used and casually used). So I guess I just have a thing for playing "bad" characters. It might've been pity, but I just gravitate towards these kinds of characters that just so happens to get a lot of hate
No offense to this video because I agree with some of the placements of how fun these characters/weapons are. I have very fond memories of using Link (Sword/Shield, Gauntlets, and The Great Fairy), Zelda (despite it being placed very low, I actually like the Baton), Ganon, Impa, Lana, Darunia, Ruto, both Midnas, Zant, Volga, Linkle (I actually like her Pegasus Boots more, but Crossbows are fun too), Marin, and of course Fi
Oh don't worry I take no offense at all with your comment, on the contrary! I really appreciate that you people speak your minds!
I don't like playing as Fi, but it is so cool that you can have fun in something I can't
@@TheGameShelf Thank you for your understanding.
I like your energy in this video, and I had a good time watching it. It's been a while since I played Hyrule Warriors, and I just remembered how fun the game was because of your video
Fi is relatively good for speedrunning as she has an insanely fast dodge that's quicker than any other character and her last combo is really good for single and multi target enemies. The only point where she lacks is when fighting Giant Bosses
Do you know if you can still do the infinite rupee glitch with Lana on the Switch version? I used to do it all the time on the Wii U
I think that one was patched since the 3DS version unfortunately, but many people said grinding levels is easier in Definitive Edition
The other nice thing about twili minda is that she is a dark and light hybrid.
loved using zelda’s baton lmaoo and i want to buy this game for switch , but i remember how much the conditions on some maps stressed me out bad 🤣🤣
The Dev's knew how broken Young Link was and made all of his weapons only change on Fierce Deity Link because they knew nobody would even see Young Link after 30 seconds
I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT LMAO, they could've easily added the other Majora's Mask's swords but nah, only Fierce Deity got different ones
I think ganondorf is a great gameplay reflecting the story moment, during the 3 ganondorf chapters instead of telling you of his power or showing it as an enemy YOU get the litterally experience ganondorf's conquer quest first hand, then afterwards you have to clean up the mess you got to creat both of those chapters also set a good desperate mood either through the constant heat damage and clones or just the entire aestethic of the final stage and sheer power of buffed up ganondorf
Also tbh I have never had a problem with overdoing zant's strong attacks, I can say that his moveset is kinda mediocre like a low mid tier but people who complain about his strong attacks have a skill issue
Counterpoint regular midna has the better design
Seus vídeos são muito bons
That's very kind of you to say, thanks a ton friend!
I love playing ravio and skull kid
In my opinion, Link has to come to SSS with the Mastersword because there are attacks with the weapon that are very strong.
Yeah, the spin attack has like a shockwave effect or something which all the other Hylian Swords Lack, and not to forget that the Master Sword can also shoot beams at multiple certain Combos which will mow down the enemies like grass.
The Hylian Sword can only shoot beams at the Neutral Neutral Strong Combo (YYX on the warriors control style)
My favorite characters to play in HW are Ravio, Marin, Link (Sword or Spinner) and Princess Zelda (Rod). Because they represent my favorite Zelda games: Link to the Past, Link Between Worlds, and Link's Awakening. Ravio is my favorite in the whole series. I love the concept of Bunny Link in LTTP evolving into Ravio. I was kinda sad I didn't get Bunny Link as a weapon or a character, but I got Ravio, and so he's my main! If I can do it with Ravio, then I am!! What? Backup character slot? Ravio fills it in! :D He may not be as "useful" or "broken" as some characters but he's who I wanna play.
I'm 200 hours in. I can't STAND Wizzro at all. He's my absolute lowest level. Agatha is at least level 40 because I bought her levels to pass a few maps. My Skull Kid is low level, too. I hate his sound effects. Not just when he's walking but the constant flute noises when attacking. I have to play is battles muted, and that's sad, because this game has some damn game music. My little brother's favorite is Midna, too!! :D
Cool tier list, dude! I agreed with you on a lot of things, disagreed on a few, and that's okay.
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and even commented!
Honestly, I can agree with the Skull Kid sound effects being annoying, they could've toned them down a bit
habrá en el futuro un video para age of calamity? la verdad disfrute mucho este video.
Si me gustaria la verdad! Disfrute mucho ese juego, nada mas que no he comprado el DLC jaja, no quiero excluir a los personajes que metieron
Ojala en un futuro lo pueda tener
They really gave the great fairy some cake.
Think I disagree most on Zant, he's my 2nd favorite. Preventing overloading his meter is basically counting to 6. The moves to empty the meter are effective on top of this.
Cia is top 5. Except for oddly enough her final combo, I think she has a great moveset.
C1: Knockback and Gibdo immunity
C2: keep clearer
C3: fantastic range
C4: able to stunlock enemies
C5: boss weakpoint killer.
This has to be the only person I’ve seen defend the great fairy. Still, her invincibility is under appreciated even though I feel it is still Link’s worst weapon objectively.
I would have put Hylian and Master Sword Seperately
The Master Sword has the Ability to shoot Beam projectiles at certain Combos when at full health like for example the first normal combo where you can leap into the air, this obe shoots three Vertical Beams and whild in the air every regular attack also fires a beam.
Then the NormalNormalStrong where you can shoot three Horizontal Beams instead of just one which is the case for the Average Hylian Sword, and a Full Neutral Combo also fires Three Vertical Beams out.
And the Spin Attack with the Master Sword has a bit more range and a tiny explosion-like effect which the other swords lack unfortunally.
With other words the Master Sword is literally far better than the Hylian Sword because if you use it properly you are basically untouchable.
Even Hilia!
I actually like the Wind Waker weapon. People just don't know how to use it.
The OG Hyrule Warriors was one of my favorite games on the Wii U and this video really makes me want to finally unbox my switch copy!!! What are your thoughts on Age of Calamity?
Age of Calamity is amazing! I have a very old video about it if you want to check it out
It's main issues are the framerate which is abbysmal and the story is either love it or hate it depending on who you are, still a good game doe!
Obviously this isnt a power tier list, its based on enjoyment
If it was power, then master sword would be on top, it’s designed to be op
This game is popular, but I still think it's very underrated. The sequel was a big disappointment.
SPEEN!
Feliz cumpleaños a Ramon
My fault that i was late, was busy, anyways hi
Oh you were actually one of the first comments so I wouldn't say you were late lol, still hi!!
@@TheGameShelf ah, got it.
"Cia more like c tier" LOLOLOLLL
Ojala que tu panzita este mejortssss
Tkmmm
Yo tambien amiwa sos la mas crack del mundo
Master Sword should be S u trippin
ASI ES
Mi cara cuando
Mi cara cuando
I do not at all care for the gameplay of the warriors games, so the characters, art style and graphics, and stuff along those lines were pretty much the games only chance to win me over. Thankfully it succeeded and I had a lot of fun with the game.
Link with the full power mastersword is actually the best charcater in the game, like he is broken. Don’t know why you act like he is just fine lol
Cause I literally say at the beginning of the video this tier list is from a casual player and I wouldn't go TOO indepth about frame data and all of that stuff
That's how I feel about Link MS based on how fun I find the moveset
I understand the critique. Calling it a "tier list" implies it'll be about viability and moveset strength. But the tierlist is subjective, based on what he believes is fun. I agree he shouldn't just title the video a "tier list" and maybe title the video "how fun Hyrule Warriors movesets are to me".
This tier list so biased. Half the time I can't tell when you stopped speaking English and started speaking Swedish because your English is so bad.
