That's because there are no missions with a fixed time frame, e.g. In general this map plays very quickly, despite it also having the full size of 16 x 8 squares. It's just that again the best missions are preferred by Light weapons. Sadly, both Volga and Ruto became low level missions, so you don't have a natural grinding spot for Lightning and Water weapons, but I do understand that they wanted to give Yuga and Cia the higher spots. And with the double weapon drops they are now the best way to grind for perfect weapons, especially the fight against three Yugas on D14. I personally would have preferred some other bonus, like a constant EXP boost, but it does help with weapon grinding.Īnd it does so, because they did add 'Divisive plan' missions for the characters, who didn't have one yet, with the exception of Marin. The options with the Instruments of the Sirens were certainly richer, but in the very least the Lorule Map keeps giving you double weapons, exactly like the Termina Map. You can have two of these effects at once, but the next item card used will overwrite them. Only Bombs and Hammer give you some bonus effects, which are Rupee and attack power increases. The Item Cards also activate Nice Powers, but this feels somewhat like wasted potential, because ten of them just change the recommended element.

But you don't need this anyway, because it's always obvious, where you have to use what item. It's of note that this is the only Adventure Map, which doesn't have a Compass Item Card. It does some teasing, where you early on see an ice statue, but you won't be able to get the Fire Rod until the very end, but otherwise you can usually get what you need within the vicinity. With the right course everything puts itself together very well. You also don't have to replay missions for Item Cards, not even once.

With the confined areas it has a good structure and you get a much better sense of completion and progress than most of the other Adventure Maps, where you go all over the place. So, you might just go and play the Skull Woods area for today. You keep opening up parts of Lorule and these separate parts are very suitable for individual play sessions. It does have a very nice flow to it, though.

It's also surprisingly linear, unlike the original game. And it's quite the accurate representation, which is very nice after the weirdly distorted environments of the previous two DLC Adventure Maps. The Lorule Map is certainly not an exception and keeps up the good quality that came with both the Koholint and Grand Travels Maps.įirst of all, this is the Hyrule and Lorule from A Link Between Worlds in the glorious 8-Bit style. A total of ten Adventure Maps (including the Rewards Map) provide you with numerous missions and tons of unlockables. With the Lorule Map we can finally conclude the gigantic chapter of the Adventure Mode in Hyrule Warriors - Legends.
