'''{{HW|-}}''' is a ''Legend of Zelda'' | '''{{HW|-}}''' is a ''Legend of Zelda'' tie-in game for the [[Wii U]] that was released on the 19th of September 2014, the 20th of September 2014, the 26th of September 2014 and the 14th of August 2014 in Europe, Australia, North America and Japan respectively. It combines the world of {{TLoZ|Series|-}} with the action of {{Wp|Koei Tecmo}}'s ''{{Wp|Dynasty Warriors}}'' series and was developed by Team Ninja and Omega Force. Although the game is typically regarded as a ''Zelda'' spin-off, Nintendo themselves do not recognise it as one, as, under Nintendo's official definition, spin-offs are games that are outside of the canon [[Zelda Timeline|timeline]] but still set in the [[World of The Legend of Zelda|Zelda world]], whereas Hyrule Warriors is "borrowing" the Zelda world, characters, and lore. Thus the game is officially considered to be one where Zelda simply "appears", akin to [[Super Smash Bros.|''Super Smash Bros'']].<ref name=":0">{{Cite Book|quote= |book= E|publisher= |page= 312 }}</ref> | ||
