Overview

Echoes of Wisdom

---

---

Echoes of Wisdom has two difficulty settings: normal and Hero Mode.

Other Appearances

Hyrule Warriors

There are four Difficulty levels in Hyrule Warriors: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hero Mode, with the latter only being unlocked after beating all Scenarios. In the original Hyrule Warriors, only the base-game 18 Scenario needed to be beaten, but in Hyrule Warriors Legends and Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, all 32 must be completed. Higher Difficulty levels will make Enemies deal more damage and have more health, but they will also increase the amount of Rupees gained upon completion of a Scenario. Difficulty may only be applied to a Scenario, not Adventure Mode Battles. In each Scenario, there is a Gold Skulltula that may only be found while playing on Hard or Hero Mode Difficulty.

Age of Calamity

In Age of Calamity, the Difficulty modes Easy, Normal, Hard, or Very Hard may be chosen for any Scenario or Challenge. As part of the Pulse of the Ancients Downloadable Content pack, an Apocalyptic Difficulty mode was added. The Difficulty level alters how much damage Enemies do, as well as how much damage it takes to deplete their Weak Point Gauge. However, it does not effect the number of Rupee gained or any other rewards.
