Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Multiplayer Guide - How to Play with Friends

How to play multiplayer in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

You can play the entire two-player split screen game with a friend on the same system. Here's how to start two-player mode in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity.

1. Go to the map screen.
2. Click the left stick to display the two player menu.
3. Select "Yes".
4. Press L + R on the controllers you want to use.
5. Start any mission and start playing.

Once both players are in the game, you will each be able to select your characters and control them during battle. You cannot select duplicate characters, so make sure you have enough characters at the correct level and with enough solid equipment before embarking on a mission.

However, you must have access to the map screen before you can play multiplayer, so you must complete the initial tutorial mission on your own before a friend can join the game. After completing the first mission, The Battle of Hyrule Field, you'll unlock the map screen and your first additional character, Impa. Link and Impa will be the only two characters you and your friend can control at the start of the game, but you'll quickly unlock more characters like Zelda and the Four Champions.

Is there online multiplayer?

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity does not support online multiplayer. The only way to play with friends is locally on the same system. Most of the Musou games are the same way so the game is unlikely to be updated to support online co-op.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is now available on Nintendo Switch.
