- 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.
Let me know what you thought about my Hyrule Warriors review!

This game is the definition of: "Getting Your Money's Worth"
Dynasty Warriors 8xl *laughs with over 83 officers with 6 different ranks of weapins and 6 different story campaign's*
@Evilislife it laughs at the fools that thought dynasty warriors 8 was long
It's so worthy it gives you money
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"? Of course not. No one would.
@@taigaaisaka6305 Then it just isn't your kind of game.
I have like 150 hours in HW and i'm not even close to finished (maybe if i stopped starting new save files). It definitely is worth the money if the game clicks with you.
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition is one of my absolute most favorite games of all time. And seeing someone complete this game 100% is absolutely insane!
Would you recommend it? I’ve had my eye on it for awhile
@@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!
@@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. I love spinnoff games and after playing smash bros sence the 64 game I felt zelda needs a good spinnoff game so hw was a great idia. I wanted to make shure I actually wanted it back on the wii u and after watching videos and reading about it online I got it and it did not disapoint.
@@Chase1.9 I don’t even really like Dynasty Warriors, but seeing as how much of a Zelda fan I am it was more than worth it. The level designs, characters, move sets, and weapons have enough Zelda charm (and in some cases faithfulness) that I consider it separate from DW and even far superior.
"What makes you so tuff?"
"I completed Hyrule Warriors"
"So?"
"On the switch"
"Right this way sir"
Underrated
it's actually harder on the 3DS IMO

PTSD. I had 1200 hours on the 3DS version, my dog chewed up the cartridge and almost lost its life. My wife bought me the definitive edition when it came out for switch and I think that experience ruined it for me. I literally cannot force myself to get passed the menu most of the time even when I think I "want" to play it again.
@@johnfulcher8448 this sounds like actual depression and im very sorry it makes you feel that way.
This is torture. Im literally watching a man document his self torture.
And this is hyping me up to pick it back up and finish my 100% play through myself
I laughed my head off the entire time. then I subscribed to witness more pain.
I literally almost killed my sons dog for chewing up my cartridge i had 1200 hours on, and that was just the 3ds version. Only time in my life I had a critical mental breakdown

@@Miner_Experting Good sir, is it for hyrule warriors and if it is, are you ok
this video made we want to 100% complete the game. im about 300 hours in
edit: im over 500 hours in. im going through the 6th map in adventure mode. ive 100%completed the other maps. i havent gotten all the heart containers and skulltulas in story/free mode but i figure itll be much easier to do so once i finish the biggest chunk of the game. all my characters are at minimum lv 100 with a few climbing closer to the max level. i hate the fairy system now.
edit2: I am 850 hours in. all maps and story mode are 100% completed with A rank, the fairy magic is completed and I have all medals. The only things left are ganons fury, cuccos fury and the a rank for every character in challenge mode. my lowest level warrior is 150 and it is a cruel grind to 255 for all characters. I had to take a break due to having multiple surgeries, work, moving and other games taking my attention. I pray to be done before hitting 1000 hours. Once I do complete, I plan on recording my screen as proof and uploading to youtube.
I have 250 hours and I don’t even have a fairy. Crazy game.
How's it going?
@@toxicpurple0742 had to pause because of major surgery BUT im about 750 hours in, all maps completed, fairy stuff all done, lowest level on any warrior is 150 and all I have now is the a rank for boss mode and the ganon/cucco bullcrap
@@gingeremu4475 epic
as a hardcore Zelda completionist I know I will have to do this one day. I got maybe like 25% through it when it released but then stopped to re-100% every mainline Zelda game. honestly seems fun and when I come back to it I'll probably start from scratch since I like doing games in one go. good luck on your journey, hopefully it is almost over!
About a year ago, when I looked into the true depths of possible content this game had, I knew I could play this game casually for my entire life and maybe just barely complete it.
You absolute madlad.
Early Completionist: "Hey, these are some of the games I love, now watch me get the full experience of them."
Modern Completionist: *"Bear witness to the neverending fountain of torment my life has become."*
I don't like that he feels like that
I really think he shouldn't complete games like this one
@@christiankhnana5284 I think games like this CAN be completed, but must be done at a leisurely pace. As in that's a requirement to complete them, if you play them daily over and over, you'll complete them faster. But it takes a toll on your mental and physical wellbeing. Much like Jirard with the Five Nights games, how he went from enjoying the novelty of them to developing anxiety from them. I developed a similar fatigue when I was grinding for kills in Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine and Resistance 2's 10k online kills.
@@tonts5329 I agree with you, these games can be completed but that should only be done slowly and not rushed, but the problem here is that this is his job and he must put a video out every week of him completing games, so he can't really take his time. This is why I feel he shouldn't complete these games, they don't fit into his schedule well.
Completionist: I FINALLY DID IT!
Zelda: the bloodmoon rises once again
my thoughts when age of calamity was announced
I already completed age of calamity it was easy
Edit: I have gone beyond it decided to Max out each character and weapon I haven't slept well please help
@@primaltrainer1018 Wait until you play the DLC.
Ikr
Lmao I’m doing that atm time to spend money on the dlc to get every weapon in the game for every character to max level and max out every character and completing every challenge / quest
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
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.
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.
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
@@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.
@@gameman3981 have you finished yet i won't spoil anyway
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.
Aghinim and pig\beast ganon costumes for Ganondorf and Zelda's blue dress and pink Bunny Link from alttp. The ice rod and magic cape would make good aditions. Maby some of the dungoun bosses can apear too.
Ooooooooooooooo, could you imagine Four Swords Link(s) as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors?!?! You could literally have Link with the Four Sword with the three clones of himself and they can all run around together and fight together like the different formations in Four Swords Adventures's single player!!
Proud of you Jirard, I honestly can't believe you did this again, you're the champ.
You have an excellent channel
Oh my god he going x games mo
Wow bonsai ! I would just like to say thank you for what you do.
Im just trying to max all the characters
What a madman pure respect
"Games that weren't designed to be 100% completed for 1000, Alex."
Yea I feel that should be pretty obvious on this one. It was basically designed to be endless.
I play this game a lot and enjoy it immensely but I’m probably never going to finish it or if I do it’ll be like 10 years from now.
That being said age of calamity is nothing anywhere close to this game.
@@Xboxiscrunchy Well it literally had an in game achievement for completing everything
@@BadKnightLv01 It had the in-game equivalent of a platinum trophy, whose requirements did not include getting every character to max level or even touching Challenge Mode. That was all Jirard. I got that Hero of Hyrule medal myself on HW:DE and stopped soon afterward, and my Switch says I spent a total of 375 hours.
@@spencereades His Persona 5 completion was similar. Instead of being content with the platinum he decided to try and get all items which included items that you could only get 1 of 6+ items in each playthrough.
@@LukaTheWanderer exactly. While I think people are fans of watching him 100% a game, some games are not really designed to be completed to THAT degree where you need to max out everyone's level, and kill over 1,000,000 of each kind of enemy just because. After a while it just takes the fun out of the experience.
You, Jirard Khalil, are a hero. By fully completing and officially documenting this journey you have done a service to gamers and the good of the human race alike. You have my eternal praise, gratitude, and apologies for your sacrifice.

@@dimitritsatsikki5773 Unfortunately HW: AoC doesn’t take even a tenth as long to 100% like HW. I completed AoC to ‘100% game completion’ in about 70 hrs(with all my heroes at levels 80-100, but in another dozen hours I could have the rest maxed.
"Incremental" and "prestige" are two words that are very familiar to me as someone who has 100%'ed Cookie Clicker (to as much of an extent as that game "can" be completed, anyway) Yet to do something like this? I can't even imagine. That number of Heart Containers collected alone just blows my face off!
Here’s a hellish thought for you, Tim. Hyrule Warriors Randomizer. Each map square completed unlocks another one on any of the 10 maps. I shudder just writing this thought.
Hi Tim! Looking forward to more Secret of Mana over on RAGs!
I've not watched you in years tim, but just want to say i appreciate you and hope you are doing well.
The big difference is that Cookie Clicker can be completed with only a fracture of active playtime, being an idle game, while Hyrule Warriors needs full active playtime
Can you send a Link to that cookie clicker video?
Nintendo seriously needs to send you a medal or something for this.
Nintendo didn’t make it lmao
He can't be the only one who's 100%d it so
Every game company that this man has touched should send him a trophy just for being awesome. Nintendo would charge $60 for it tho
Not for this. For the Tingle dancing. I want all the footage, it’s amazing.
It will wind up being golden poop
needing to complete this game for a show is absolutely such a different beast to playing it leisurely where the content is a boon rather than a challenge. sorry you couldn't experience this game like the rest of us man
Right? Like just the amount of planning required to complete this game without massively wasting your time is more thought than I will probably ever put into beating a game.
Protip:
Stay away from the Disgaea series. You will go insane.

That's assuming he never lost time by quitting without saving because he was angry at a failing a map or something.
Keep in mind roughly 1,040 or so hours go into a year's worth of work with 8-hour days. That's a full-time job or one-third of his year.

The Sound Collection feature in Star Ocean 2 is laughing maniacally right now.
Care to elaborate?
@@liamsgreatbitgaming Star Ocean 2 has a collection feature that records every voice file in the game. To get one recorded you need to hear it. This involves every character interaction within battle including death reactions between characters with high enough relationship values. There are twelve characters, only 8 of which can be recruited on any given playthrough. Raising a character's relation value is done through one time actions throughout the game and by spending enough time together in combat.
The annoying thing is that it is not possible to 100% the sound collection feature without a cheat device as the game has collections for characters calling out to each other that can never be in the party at the same time or calling out spells that they can't learn.

Orochi 4 Extreme would like to know your location.
Something else to note. It isn't even possible to 100% complete the Wii U version of Hyrule Warriors. In Challenge Mode one of the challenge stages is bugged when playing as Ghirahim (a boss that needs to be killed to complete the stage just won't spawn when Ghirahim is played). So it isn't even possible to complete that stage with Ghirahim, much less A Rank it. Thus A Ranking every challenge stage with every character in Challenge Mode on the Wii U is impossible (thus making 100% Completion impossible on the Wii U version of Hyrule Warriors).

Likely cause that game only focuses on one Zelda title where this one focuses more on the series as a whole
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.

This game reminds me of dragon ball heroes. Age of calamity ate my life up too
What the heck are you doing here doc?
I thought age of calamity was short personally
@@buddymmx3936 It is, it took me arround 60 hours to 100% it
@@rikum22 yeah, definitely not as hard as the first Hyrule Warriors
Yeah and the definitive edition is that multiplied by 6 and then some, so just imagine
I recently got the Definitive Edition and was gobsmacked by the amount of content. I always tend to have a few long play challenges on the go (Pokemon Shiny Living Dex, Binding Of Issac) and now this, thanks for reminding me how brutal this is going to be haha and well done, absolutely amazing!
You're a treasure, Jirard. Thank you for bringing us so much great content, for free, all the time. It makes a difference during these trying times.
Bro, do you need a hug?
Someone, hug this man! ASAP!
@@doginhat13 yes
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!
Why would you try this after watching this video??? Yikes.
Does it really count as 100% if you didn’t do it on all 4 difficulties
You played it that long on purpose,
don’t lie.
Just wait until Age of Calamity gets DLC...
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.
you actually sold me on buying this game again, i loved the first one and the idea of having way more content for me to dig through sound awesome
It is a great game,I recommend focusing on adventure mode more than story mode,it's super fun and you unlock characters from it!
Calling this "The second one" is kind-of wrong because (atleast as far as I understand) "HW: DE" is literally just "HW" but with what was DLC to it in the original version (Wii-U version) now being in the base game to begin with as well as free "DLC" added.
@@cartayatama lol I meant to day I loved it the first time
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.
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.
You are right but still... This game is ALWAYS reminding you that you didn't get it all, it is shaming you! 😂😭
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.
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.
@@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.
Oh my god, Jirard, please, take off a whole year, alone for this!
More like 6 months...his channel may die if he takes off a year
Everyone else keep working. This guy completed a video game.
This got so heavy. Your dedication makes gods shake. Much love, keep doing what you do! Good times or bad, I’m a fan of what you accomplish. You truly are an inspiration to any would be completionist, and your efforts are legendary.
This video actually solidified me wanting to buy this game. I didn’t think there was this much to it. And I love games that have just so much to do which is why one of my favorite games is Sonic Adventure 2 with the Chao garden.
Second time he tried this, at least he isn’t being threatened of being forcibly dressed up like Tingle this time
Now he only dresses up as Tingle to be kinky
Just wait until he gets to skyrim again
@@themightynemo2144 The Husky Argonian Maid 😏
That image brought me great joy
Did you do it? “Yes....”
What did it cost? “Everything...”
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. Other dynasty warrior games aren't this difficult to complete or even manage but this one indeed is a beefy fortress. 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. I'm sure someone of your talents can complete it in a week but really anyone could beat it within a month without pushing themselves too much. Chin up.
@Jirard thank you for the gift of this video. The humor gave me some much needed joy during a shitty night and I really appreciate your dedication and amazing style! Keep kicking ass!
Starting to feel like Warriors games aren't designed to be "completed".
me 2
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
@@Chronoflation 70 hrs for AoC completion in my playthrough of it. It was fun the entire way through. Much more palatable than HW:DE.
Bro I just wanted a few new weapons for some characters. I wasn’t trying to 100% beat it. 😟
@@Chronoflation I 100%ed definitive edition and when I saw the announcement for AoC I was honestly scared to do that again but when I beat the game in LESS than 100 hours I went through joy of beating a game to surprise that that was all to anguish that was all and finished with a nice dash of :/
Throughout the entire video he sounds like he's going to break down and cry. This game might have broke him
Man this is like getting all the achievements in an MMO expansion

What?
This is honestly astonishing. This must be one of the most insane challenges a man can do. But while I was watching this video, I couldn't stop worrying about you. It's CZcams, just complete some of the game, in games so big, and call it a day. We will accept it, if it's for you and your life
Well so far Age of Calamity seems like a god damn cake walk compared to this
Yeah took me 80 hours to complete ( assuming getting the hyrule warriors outfit is completion) and that was with leaving my switch on at night and stuff, I really enjoyed it
@@headshead338 completing is doing anything at 100%, not just ulocking the final costumes costumes.
Did you beat it in all difficulties?
Keep in mind the game is still fairly new. It’s possible that we’ll get DLC.
@@DAD-qt8ng Even so, it's nowhere near as bad as HWDE
@@DarkLink1996. Agreed 100% HWDE is a chore more than anything else despite being so much fun.
But i have 75H into age of calamity and i certainly did not beat it in all difficulties (i did all easy and most normal, some hard and very hard) so 80 hours to 100% seems to be unrealistic to complete it.
You can beat it in less than that, but certainly not complete it.
I respect the completion of games. Especially rpgs that shit can take 1000s of hours if you collect one of each item and stuff like that you are a god.
You are an absolute beast of a manly man. I have this game, finishing the story, unlocked all the characters, and doing the orignal adventure map was almost more than i could handle. Kudos to you sir.
Take a break. You’ve done some huge games recently and I think it will be good for you 😁😁
Nothing but respect for this guy
I would like for him to take a break but youtube wouldn't like that and his channel would suffer
Honestly I think he shouldn't complete ganes like these, I feel they are really making him feel bad
@@christiankhnana5284, maybe he should do smaller games that will take less time so he will have more to relax
@@redwing1766 that could actually be good for him
Sisyphus has brought the boulder to the top of the hill. You're a legend, Jirard.
"magic fountain+" combined with young link sounds like a force to be reckoned with
You've spent almost 53 days (52.91) just to complete both Hyrule Warriors, your dedication and committement always impresses me a lot
If there is one thing you are, sir, it is authentic. I hope Nintendo sees this one and does something nice for you.
Nintendo haven't been doing anything nice lately...
@@ZenoDLC We get it.
See I'm watching this video and I can't really enjoy it cos I'm legit concerned about your mental health now. Like dude, don't let these things effect your real life so much. Tis just a CZcams video y'know? Don't sweat it.
I also am concerned, after the persona 5 relationship thing
Stable mental health is something he’ll never feel again.
It's his job and all but still he should do 3 months every year of just 30 hour games(when 100%)
Hi
My Stuck in 2 pipes dude
Its crazy how this video sold me to buy this game and im still casually completing it
The man just wasted countless hours of his life doing daunting and tedious tasks all for us, what a legend. But my dude, sometimes you can chillax and not set up yourself to such high standards all for us. Sometimes the Completionist doesn’t always have to be the Completionist and can just be Jirard playing a game for himself because he enjoys it, not for the people. Do something for yourself man, you earned it.
I finally stopped having nightmares about Jirard in that Tingle outfit, and now it is back!
You could call it, a Completionist nightmare! I'll see myself to the door.
Trade you, I've been having one of Tingle in a Jirard outfit.
Jirard, I like you and I love the show, but for all that is holy, take a break.
Your dedication is admirable, but also terrifying
While this game is brutal, it's also a blast to casually play. I know it's not canon, but it has my favorite reason for the creation of Dark Link.
Thank you for everything that you’ve done. You’re a gaming legend
My jaw dropped when I saw the title. I’m already concerned for this man’s health, but... wow. This is INCREDIBLE
And that's the story of how "Hyrule Warriors" became Jirard's safe word.
20 hours for me so far, absolutely loving it!
Still good after 200
But loses its charm after 2000
Your opinion will most likely change by the time you are done.
All hyrule warriors games are great
Dude, u are probably the #1 person in the world when it comes to time management. The fact that you acquired so many life skills, built an amazing channel & community, have a social life…. and STILL managed to complete 380+ games is BEYOND my comprehension👏🏼❤️
I love how i got a health insurance ad for this
"Your premium will automatically double if you have labeled yourself a Completionist."
Even when talking normally, not even complaining, you can hear the anger in this mans voice
I’m actually working on completing this game right now, and I’m loving every minute of it! I also did it on the 3DS though
i dont envy u completing this game, i have played hundreds of hours of this game and i haven't even scratched the surface yet, i still haven't even unlocked the fairies of most of the weapons for each character (and i think i still have a character to unlock too), i gave up a while ago but i come back to it every now and again like i do all of my warrior spin off games.
"My punishment was to dance at Nintendo headquarters in a Tingle costume"
Me: "Wait, thats a punishment?"
Jirard: I am finally done and it feels like a burden has been taken of my life. Nintendo: Age of calamity will get 5 years of extra DLC and a port to the Nintendo bazinga with a whole new and larger my fairy mode, 20 challenge maps all with 300 squares and 150 medals.
Well...... considering how well age of calamity was received i can only imagine that it will get close to (if not just as much) DLC as the original hyrule warriors, so you might be closer to the truth than you think.
@@arthurgomes5188 I'm kinda terrified of that prospect, but also kinda happy about that.
Going through the comments I was kinda upset to hear that AoC apparently didn't have ANYWHERE near the amount of content that the original had because it was more meant to be completed... but I'm excited to see just how much stuff the new game is going to hold then.
@@aquamarinerose5405 well, AoC does have a lot of stuff, but, it's more streamlined and less "repetitive" than the original hyrule warriors, wich means that instead of going through hundreds of hours doing very similar missions you can do it all in less than/around 100 hours.
Also the OG hyrule warriors got a lot of it's content that made it as long as it is in the re-releases for other consoles and in the DLC, not in the base game.
@@arthurgomes5188 it wasn’t really all that well received though. Sure it sold well but how many people are actually even finishing the story? Even most main Nintendo based CZcams channels gave up on that game.
@@curtisbakaluk177 well, vinesauce finished it, zackscott is still playing it and the reviews and sales from the game were pretty good, i'm not saying it was a smash hit, but, it did pretty well.
I have known of this channel for a long time, but for some reason never actually checked it out. Then Ray mentions it at the end of his Pokemon Snap video and decide to give it a try and now I am so mad at myself for not doing it sooner. I love watching and learning about 100% playthroughs of games. Going to check out a lot of the videos soon.
I don't find the Dynasty style games very fun so I'm so amazed you 100%ed such an enormous game in that style. A truly incredible feat
Never complete a Dynasty Warriors game. “Completion” is the release of the next game in the series
I'm currently trying to "complete" one piece pirate warriors 3. I agree... but at the same time, game is fun as hell and I'm not torturing myself to accomplish this in a time table.
@@Paur i did its at least 3 times shorter then hw
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.
It is like someone trying to "100%" a D&D campaign, but the dungeon master just keeps making things up...
It is kind of insane, this completionist stuff... Actually it is totally insane.
That's because Koei Tecmo are massive Zelda fans themselves. They really wanted to make HW a labour of love, and it definitely shows.
As a warriors vet I 100% each one well ever since DW6 and on though I say the samuria line games are the only ones that actually give you good awards for 100% the whole game HWDE took me about 6 months to complete mainly cause some of the battles on the mm map confused me
You’re not going to 100% this game just because you’re bored.
Age of Calamity is actually pretty short. You can complete it with the current DLC in about 50 hours. I doubt we'll have a giant DLC with hundreds of extra play hours.
@@day3fiercediety940 I hadn't thought of that, but it is an unpleasant possibility. I loved every second with this game, and was quite disappointed that AoC barely gave 50h of playtime.
I played the first hyrule warriors back in like 7th grade and never picked it up again because I spent so much time on it it wasn't even nostalgic to replay just a HASSLE. You're disciplined
I think you've earned a break, take some time for yourself, we'll be here when you get back
Who here remembers when Jirard dressed up as Tingle after failing to complete the Wii U version in time
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.
@@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
I recently completed AoC, and I'd love to see a marriage between the sheer amount of content in this game with the ease of completion of AoC, if there's ever another Hyrule Warriors game
As someone who doesn't get a lot of games
A game as packed as hyrule warriors comes off as a god send to me.
Funny how perspectives works
Jirard is shortening his lifespan just to entertain us. I feel important.
“Lackluster sales” Hyrule Warriors and Age of Calamity are the highest selling Dynasty Warriors games tho
Highest selling Warriors game doesn't mean much, especially compared to any Nintendo first party series.
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
@@aaronr.265 aoc hit 3 million really quickly

@@A11ucard but still that's not saying much since Wii U sales in general were poor
I commend you, beardman. I'm currently doing the 3ds version and its agonizing. Good work, you great warrior!!
In most games, the main story is the main entrée, side modes and side objectives serve as your sides, and there's a nice post game to serve as your desert.
In Hyrule Warriors, the main story is the appetizer sampler that can alone fill you up, adventure mode is the ten course meal following it, and challenges, My Fairy, and Badges are the sides that come along with each bit.
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.
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.
I'm right there with you. Hyrule Warriors, best game of the century.
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.
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
Seeing the amount of time he put into this makes me want to play it more now lol.
I've never played a "Warriors Game" but after playing this and AoC I'm a fan
You absolute madman.
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.
