Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition cheats and tips - Everything you need to know about the Bazaar

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition gives you some many ways to get stronger as quickly as possible, and if you want to level up your characters quickly the Bazaar is the best way to do it.

It'll cost some rupees, but here you'll be able to gain extra combos, strengthen weapons and level up your characters, so it's worth paying attention to.

Follow this guide and you'll soon be a Hyrule Warriors expert with the most powerful roster possible, guaranteed.

All about the rupees

You can't go shopping without money, and you can't go into the Bazaar expecting to clean up without an ample supply of rupees.

Everything you'll do in here requires a bit of cash, so smashing through Legend Mode, Adventure Mode and Challenge Mode will of course boost your money so you can go crazy in the bazaar.

You will also be able to boost the amount of rupees you earn by equipping special weapon skills.

Badge Market

The Badge Market is, for my rupees, the most essential part of the Bazaar. Here you can trade in your rupees and materials for badges, which will give characters a host of new abilities.

Split into Attack, Defense and Assist trees, filling in the badges on each do what they say.

Attack is essential for characters you want to use, expanding their combos and damage, while Defense focuses more on elemental stage resistance, and Assist, well, looks at how well the characters will fare when you're not controlling them.

Attack badges are super important, while only the potions in the Defense tree are necessary. Upgrade the Assist on characters as and when you need them. Good for the characters you use regularly in Legend Mode.

Training Dojo

Training Dojo is incredibly straightforward, you can trade your rupees in to level up your characters directly.

It gets expensive as the levels go up, but if your newer characters are low level, this is a quick way to get them to a point where they're comparable with the rest of your cast.

Though levelling up the whole roster will get expensive quickly, so like the badges, focus on characters you want to use, and go to easier or low level stages to level up the rest.

Here you can trade materials and rupees for small, single-battle boosts. You can earn more weapons, or rarer materials or, well, a variety of things.

Obviously be aware that they only last one battle, and therefore maybe save them for battles where you're deliberately looking for a certain weapon or material drop.

Only trade in the materials you have a serious surplus of, keep a hold of anything you think you might be running low on in the future, as they're often necessary for badges.

The Smithy specialises in weapon skills. Weapons you earn in battle with have a number of slots with skills in them, or perhaps blank slots.

In the Smithy you can remove a skill from a weapon, or fuse a weapon with another to destroy the weapon and give one of the skills to the other.

Using the Smithy you can spend a lot of time optimising skills and weapons for the most powerful arsenal, though it can certainly feel like you can spend a lot of time for little gain, so perhaps save this for when you have a big armoury to pick through for the best weapons and skills.
