How to Start a Multiplayer Game (Hyrule Warriors)

Wii U

In this article, you'll learn how to start a multiplayer game in Hyrule Warriors.

Note: Multiplayer only becomes available after you complete the first battle scenario. It is not available at the start of the game.

Multiplayer allows you to battle armies with a friend using local co-op mode, with one person playing on the TV and the other on the GamePad. Player One will use the Wii U GamePad and Player Two will use either the Wii U Pro Controller or Wii Remote with Nunchuk.

Complete these steps

  1. At the Title Screen, press any button to continue to the Main Menu.
  2. Select the game mode you wish to play.
    • Multiplayer is only available in Legend Mode, Free Mode, and Challenge Mode.
  3. Select a game scenario to play.
  4. Player Two will need to press the +Button on their controller to join the game when on the Select Warrior screen. If they are using a Wii Remote, then a Nunchuk must be attached.
  5. Each player will select a warrior and choose a weapon. Player One will choose first, followed by Player Two.
  6. Once the scenario is loaded, various settings can be adjusted. Once everything is set, both players will need to select Start Battle and press the A Button to begin.
