Story
A long time ago, a sorceress named Cia guarded the balance of the Triforce, but a darkness corrupted her, leading her to wage war against the kingdom of Hyrule to claim the Triforce and resurrect a dark power that had been sealed away. In an attack on Hyrule Castle, a soldier-in-training Link discovers that he possesses the Triforce of Courage. After the battle, however, the Hyrulean forces find that Princess Zelda has gone missing. Link, Impa, and other allies must now fight off Cia and her forces in order to restore peace to Hyrule and find Zelda.
Gameplay
The gameplay of Hyrule Warriors is mostly the same as the standard gameplay of the Dynasty Warriors series; as such, the game places an emphasis on combat more than adventure and puzzle-solving like in traditional The Legend of Zelda games. Including the downloadable content, Hyrule Warriors features 21 playable characters, several of which are taken from previous, well-known The Legend of Zelda games, including Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword.
Each scenario takes place on a battlefield based upon locations from various The Legend of Zelda games, in which the player must defeat large amounts of enemies at a time and conquer enemies bases while protecting their own bases from the enemy forces. Attacks consist of regular attacks, which can be chained together, and strong attacks, which are generally used to end a combo of regular attacks. Also available for use are series traditional items such as Bombs, the Boomerang, and the Bow and Arrow, which allow players to attack and discover secrets on the battlefield. Each character is also given a Special Technique which can be used by filling a yellow gauge, and can enter into "Focus Spirit" mode, which boosts the character's stats for a time, by filling the green gauge.
Four modes are available in the game: Legends Mode, which is the main story mode; Free Mode, in which the player can replay the Legends Mode scenarios as any playable character; Adventure Mode, in which the player goes around a map inspired by the original The Legend of Zelda, completing scenarios on each square; Challenge Mode, in which the player must clear special scenarios.
