Our opinion

A Definitive Edition of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity makes sense on Switch 2, where the musou formula can benefit from a newer machine and a fresh audience. It is less exciting for people who already own the game unless the upgrade offers meaningful technical improvements or substantial new content. The battlefield is familiar, then; the deciding question is whether Nintendo has brought reinforcements or merely polished the old armour.
