Fight the war for ancient Hyrule! Step on to the battlefield as Princess Zelda, King Rauru, and other legendary heroes as you fight to reclaim your homeland—and live the story of Demon King Ganondorf’s invasion that was only briefly alluded to in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game.

Fight alongside new and familiar heroes to defend Hyrule from the Demon King

Princess Zelda is not alone in this war! Join Mineru, the Sages, and even some brand-new heroes in battles against Ganondorf’s forces. Combine powerful Zonai Devices with your heroes’ signature abilities to take down powerful bosses and their legions of minions.

Team up with a friend in two-player local co-op via split screen or GameShare

Join up with a friend for two-player local co-op, and you can spread out to cover more ground as the war unfolds—or stick together and combine your powers to smash the opposition. Play split-screen on a single system, or on two separate systems via GameShare—either way, only one person needs to have the game.

Scan any compatible amiibo accessory to get in-game rewards including crafting materials and other items that you might find helpful in your quest to defeat the Demon King!

These weapons can be redeemed after returning to the Hyrule map upon completion of The Howling Tempests mission.
