History VideoGame / HyruleConquest

* AmazonBrigade: Most factions field female soldiers, and in the case of the [[OneGenderRace Gerudo], entire armies composed entirely of women. Gender-inverted by [[SoulPoweredEngine Iron Knuckles]], who are the Spirits of long-dead male Gerudo Kings brought back to fight for the Gerudo.

** The Deku Tree's Grove, [[CaptainObvious obviously]].

* TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty: Zalunbar, who cheats at his own tournament by using archers against Ganon's forces. Unfortunately for him, Ganon sees no problem with cheating right back with his Shiekah allies.

''Hyrule Conquest'' (formerly known as ''Hyrule: Total War''), is fan total overhaul mod for the free Real Time Strategy game ''VideoGame/ZeroAD'' based on the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series. Created by modder [=UndyingNephalim=], it allows players to take command of many iconic characters and races from the series in a RTS format.

Formerly a mod for ''VideoGame/MedievalIITotalWar'' started in 2011, the game was ported to 0 A.D.'s Pyrogenesis engine in 2017, due to the former's engine limitations, with regular updates adding in more characters and playable factions. Sweetening the deal in the porting is that, while ''Medieval II'' costs $19.99 on Steam, ''0 AD'' is 100% free, meaning more people will have access to the mod, and is also 100% open-source, meaning the creator has free reign to make the game however he wants.

!!This Game Provides Examples Of:

-->''"Never underestimate [[SelfDeprecation]] a disappointed fan with no life and a point to prove]], Robin."''

** The Spirits of Hyrule, such as Fi,Ghirahim, and Ono Mouzan, are immortal and persist long after the mortal kingdoms of Hyrule have fallen.

* ArtEvolution: Undyingnephalim's skill with 3D modelling and animation has improved significantly since he began the mod in 2011. Many factions such as the Order of Wizzrobe are[[CostumePorn garishly detailed]]. Compare the Order of Wizzrobes [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111127105524/hyruletotalwar/images/8/87/Carock.png before]] and [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111127104503/hyruletotalwar/images/0/0b/Pyromancers.png after]]. With release of ''Videogame/HyruleWarriors'' and ''Videogame/Breath of the Wild'' many visual cues from newer zelda games have worked their way into unit and building designs.

* AmazonBrigade: Most factions field female soldiers, and in the case of the [[OneGenderRace Gerudo]]) entire armies composed entirely of women. Gender-inverted by [[SoulPoweredEngine Iron Knuckles]], who are the Spirits of long-dead male Gerudo Kings brought back to fight for the Gerudo.

* AntiCavalry: The Labrynna Regime seems devoted to this school of thought.

* ArmorIsUseless: With the exception of the Darknuts, units wearing heavy armour seem to only gain a small defense bonus; often invoked, as many units seem in fact to discard armour in favor of mobility or natural toughness.
* ArtEvolution: The various playable factions have been gradually receiving visual upgrades, which often result in units becoming [[CostumePorn much more detailed]]. Compare the Order of Wizzrobes [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111127105524/hyruletotalwar/images/8/87/Carock.png before]] and [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111127104503/hyruletotalwar/images/0/0b/Pyromancers.png after]]. In particular, Hyrule's troops gained a substantial update after the release of ''Videogame/HyruleWarriors''.

** Boss units, Onox in particular, like to run off and plow into giant masses of enemy troops. Despite their power, this often gets them killed really fast.
** The AI has difficulty using terrain effectively in custom maps. All those really nice, elevated firing positions are left unmanned by ranged units during sieges.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Majora and Bellum, who are outright Godzilla-sized in this game.

* AbnormalAmmo: Sheikah Shadow Cannons basically fire [[CastingAShadow Dark Energy]].

** Princess Zelda, Saria, the Deku Princess, and pretty much [[UpToEleven every female]] character that's ever appeared in ''Zelda'' series [[{{Xenafication}} suddenly kicks ass]].

* AdaptationalHeroism: Both Ganon and Ganondorf are ''[[AntiHero a lot]]'' [[WellIntentionedExtremist more]] [[NobleDemon noble]] than their canon portrayals. Demise is still evil for the most part, but [[EvenEvilHasStandards even he has standards]]. This is offset by the presence of straighter villains like Dethl/Bongo, Vaati, and especially [[GodOfEvil Majora]].

** The First Sages, who were designed to be immortal guardians of the Triforce by the Goddesses.

* {{Arcadia}}: Ordona Province and Horon. Literally, in the form of Arcadia from the ''Western Animation/TheLegendOfZelda'' cartoon series.

''Hyrule Conquest'' (formerly known as ''Hyrule: Total War''), is a completely fan-made GameMod for the ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series. The game, created by a person going by the name [=UndyingNephalim=], allows players to take command of many iconic characters and races from the series and assemble them into massive armies, which can then be used to wage war across the face of Hyrule.

** [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent Lizalfos]]: Guerrilla/Ranger. Light, fast units, specialising in flanking and ambushing.

** Particular faction examples include the Kokiri, who go from being terrified of weak monsters in-game to fielding huge armies of diminutive warriors, the Deku Scrubs, who go from easily-dispatched enemies to a tremendous force of powerful ranged-attack warriors, and Ordona, who go from a bunch of villagers terrified of a single wolf to a potentially unstoppable cavalry powerhouse.

-->''"Never underestimate [[SelfDeprecation a disappointed fan with no life and a point to prove]], Robin."''

** In canon, Hylia is a benevolent GodOfGood. Here, she's a false god who became a KnightTemplar.
** In canon, Agitha is a cheerful NPC you collect golden bugs for in exchange for upgrades (and is a benevolent player character in ''Hyrule Warriors''), here she's a Gohma minion.

** [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] by Hylia. She was once a Hylian infused with magic power that turned her into a PhysicalGod; as a result, [[AGodIAm people began worshipping her above the Goddesses themselves]]. When Demise [[BreakingSpeech made her realize her crimes]], [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she withdrew from Hyrule]] and asked the Wizzrobes for sanctuary. The Wizzrobes agreed to grant it, and [[UnPerson erased every trace of her existence in exchange for the knowledge of her magical powers]]. Now, she's come back with the Order of the Wizzrobes and she's gathering more followers, but their real plan is to get rid of anybody who betrays the Goddesses for Hylia and make sure only true followers are left.

** The Black Knight, who has been forced by Vaati into a ruinous campaign to seek the Wind Tribe's power. When he chooses to rebel against his control, he gets effortlessly (and brutally) killed by him.
** Ganon, poor Ganon. [[spoiler:All he wanted was to end the milleniary war between Hylians and Moblins, bringing back all the people who died because of him and living together in a peaceful world.]]
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Ganon's invasion of Hyrule: in a short time, he's already taken control of iconic places such as Lon Lon Ranch, Kakariko Village, and Hyrule Castle itself.

* AmazonBrigade: Most factions field women along their men and some field units (or whole armies, in the case of the [[OneGenderRace Gerudo]]) composed solely females. Gender-inverted by [[SoulPoweredEngine Iron Knuckles]], who are (at least spiritually) the only male units in the Gerudo army.

* {{Arcadia}}: Ordona Province and Horon.

Note that [=UndyingNephalim=] is a somewhat infamous figure in the ''Zelda'' community, primarily for creating role-playing games that are essentially HateFics directed at Saria, either making her {{Yandere}} for Link, or [[Main/KilledOffForReal killing her off in a dismissive manner]].

Note that [=UndyingNephalim=] is a somewhat infamous figure in the ''Zelda'' community, primarily for creating role-playing games that commit CharacterAssassination against Saria by either turning her into a {{Main/Yandere}} for Link or [[Main/KilledOffForReal killing her off in a dismissive manner]].

** Vaati does this as well, quitting the VillainTeamUp with Dethl and Demise as soon as he can, suspecting a BiggerBad who wants the three of them dead.

-->''"Never underestimate a disappointed fan with no life and a point to prove, Robin."''

** The Kokiri and Zalunbar, who are kept from ageing by the Great Deku Tree and by Vaati, respectively.

** [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] by Hylia. She was once a Hylian infused with magic power that turned her into a PhysicalGod; as a result, [[AGodIAm people began worshipping her above the Goddesses themselves]]. When Demise [[BreakingSpeech made her realize her crimes]], [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she withdrew from Hyrule]] and asked for sanctuary from the Wizzrobes, [[UnPerson who erased every trace of her existence in exchange for the knowledge of her magical powers]]. Now, she's come back with the Order of the Wizzrobes and she's gathering ever more followers, but their real plan is to get rid of anybody who betrays the Goddesses for Hylia and make sure only true followers are left.

** The Black Knight, who has been forced by Vaati into a ruinous campaign to seek the Wind Tribe's power. When he chooses to rebel to his control, he gets effortlessly (and brutally) killed by him.
** Ganon, poor Ganon. [[spoiler: All he wanted was to end the millenary war between Hylians and Moblins, bringing back all the people who died because of him and living together in a peaceful world.]]
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Ganon's invasion of Hyrule: in short time he's already taken control of iconic places such as Lon Lon Ranch, Kakariko and Hyrule Castle itself.

* AmazonBrigade: Most factions field women along their men and some field units (or whole armies, in the case of the [[OneGenderRace Gerudo]]) composed of sole females. Gender inverted by [[SoulPoweredEngine Iron Knuckles]], who are (at least spiritually) the only male units in the Gerudo army.
* AnnoyingArrows: Tipically averted: A RainOfArrows is a very good way to take out a boss unit.

* ArmorIsUseless: With the exception of the Darknuts, units wearing heavy armour seem to only gain a small defense bonus; Often invoked, as many units seem in fact to discard armour in favor of mobility or natural toughness.
* ArtEvolution: The various playable factions have been gradually receiving visual upgrades, which often result in units becoming [[CostumePorn much more detailed]].

In particular, Hyrule's troops gained a substantial update after the release of ''Videogame/HyruleWarriors''.

** Boss units, Onox in particular, like to run off and plow into giant masses of enemy troops. Despite their power this often gets them killed really fast.

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: Majora and Bellum, who are outright Godzilla sized in this game.
* AwesomeButImpractical: The Titans are for novelty purposes only. Extremely strong and satisfying to watch, they are an instant WIN button... but the cost is so prodigious (6000 of ''each'' except food) that they are essentially impossible to create in the first place if your opponent is competent, and you could have built hundreds of normal soldiers in the titan's place.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Averted. Every character becomes blood soaked after fighting in combat for several moments.

* BigBadEnsemble: The main Hyrule mod has Majora, Sulkaris, Demise, Hylia, Vaati, Demoko, Dethl, Veran, Jelyf, Twinrova and at least a few other lesser independent villains. Great Sea has Bellum and Malladus. Shadows of Hyrule has Zant, Morsheen and the Eclipse. And Gods of Hyrule has the five main Druthulidi except Iemanis, who isn't really a villain.

* BlessedWithSuck: Being a Sage is almost like being a willing slave, you pretty much just do the dirty work of the Goddesses and not much else and centuries of that takes its toll. Very apparent with Saria, who was chosen against her will, so it kind of sucks for her.

* BruiserWithASoftCenter: [[spoiler: Ganon. Upon realizing he was betrayed and left with no chance to accomplish his wish, he breaks down crying. Then we see the content of his book: childlike drawings of coexistence between Hylians and Moblins.]]

* ByronicHero: Ganon, [[DarkAndTroubledPast who grew up under the terror of Hylian attacks]] [[YouKilledMyFather culminating in his mother getting slaughtered by Hylian Knights]]. Under [[EvilMentor Demise]]'s influence, [[AntiHumanAlliance he united the Moblin clans]] and [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs struck at the heart of the Kingdom of Hyrule]], [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge slaughtering countless people]] and committing villainous acts such as [[PoisonAndCureGambit subjugating the Gerudo by cursing them to get the Triforce]], the source of Hyrule's prosperity. [[spoiler: Then we find out he never wished to avenge his people, but to achieve coexistence throught the Triforce.]]

* ChainmailBikini: Mostly averted. Virtually every female character, even the usually naked Princess Ruto, is well clothed or well armored.

* CityGuards: Contrary to their complete and utter ineffectiveness in canon Zelda games, Hylian Town Guards are now very effective military units.

* ConservationOfNinjitsu: The reason why the Sheikah and Darknuts are dozens while Kokiri and Gohma are hundreds.
* CursedWithAwesome: The Kingdom of Ikana. While its citiziens have been cursed to relive their three-day civil war for all eternity, now that they have been unleashed upon Hyrule by Majora, they've kept the experience of these ''millennia'' of fighting and whenever they'll be killed they will just respawn from a Termina fissure. It is said even the Stalfos envy them.

** Gorons are a melee faction who only have one missile unit (bomb throwers) which can be easily beaten by any other kind of missile unit. On the other hand Goron infantry have exceptional charge and speed because they can roll around.
** Similarly the Darknuts are a heavy infantry faction with little in the way of ranged ability and only heavy cavalry, with only a few units able to even run. Yet this same armor leaves Darknuts practically immune to anything smaller than siege weaponry-and even then they can be seen getting back up the first few shots. In addition, their unit sizes tend to be extremely small, meaning they can be easily overwhelmed and flanked... but they are horrifying enemies to fight in chokepoints, and with larger formations of mercenaries protecting their flanks, they can chew up most armies' main infantry lines.
** The Fairies have the opposite problem - they are absolutely horrible at melee combat. Except why does that matter when almost [[BeamSpam all of their units can shoot lasers]]. Not to mention Tarm itself, see {{BFG}}.

* DarkerAndEdgier: Mass warfare, actual blood, and the potential slaughter of iconic characters from the official games. WordOfGod says a darker Zelda game that he could actually take seriously again was one of his motivations for making the mod.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Many races normally considered evil in the official Zelda games generally have nobler motives for their actions. It's actually implied that the Hylians are {{Jerkass}}es enforcing their will on everyone else. In fact, the only traditional evil factions with no other motive than slaughter are the Gohma and the Phantom Army. Even the would-be tyrant manipulator Veran [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes just wants Onox back]], alongside the domination thing.

* DarkReprise: The Hyrule Historia mission "Demise of a Goddess" begins with Hylia [[FinalSolution leading the Moblin genocide]] to the happy and sweeping sound of the orchestral portion of "Ballad of the Goddess". After [[spoiler: Demise admits defeat and [[BreakThemByTalking makes Hylia realize just how far she had fallen]], she seeks sanctuary from the Wizrobes. The final shot of the cutscene is Hylia playing the harp portion of Ballad on her own harp, while weeping.]]
* DeathFromAbove: The Great Fairies' main method of attack, as well as most archer based units in the game. Occasionally Sheikah Assassins will also dive bomb unto enemies.
* DeathMountain: Oddly it seems to be inactive during the events of this game.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: The Darknuts' combination of tremendous attacking power, heavy armor, and slow speed makes every charge into one of these. If they hit and win, they devastate the enemy. If they hit and lose and then rout, none of them survive because they'll be run down in moments by much faster enemy infantry.

* DefiantToTheEnd: King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule, his army slaughtered, his capital fallen and left alone to face Ganon in his own throne room, decides to go down giving him a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech.
* DegradedBoss: Many creatures that were bosses in canon Zelda are now generic units.

** Dakkon, the Fire Sage, and Palagard, the Forest Sage. They're doomed die and get replaced by Darunia and Saria, respectively.
* DramaticIrony: Zelda and Daphnes's answers to Ganon sum pretty much as this.

* EnemyMine: [[spoiler: Demise offers Zelda his aid in stopping Bongo and the Dark Interlopers from reaching the Triforce in exchange for a non-aggression pact. When Carock and his Wizzrobes attack King Kazakk's forces in order to kidnap Zelda, the Hylian army is forced to join forces with the very Keatons they defeated and arrested less than an hour ago.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Demise refrains from using a host unlike other members of his race, believing it to be cowardly.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Princess Zelda, Princess Ruto, Princess Midna and the Deku Princess.

-->'''Demise''': I do not [[DemonicPossession possess]]. [[DirtyCoward I have honour unlike you two cowards]].\\
'''Dethl''': [[HonourBeforeReason And that is why you have always been the joke among us]].

* {{Expy}}: Majora is now rather similar to [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum.]] He even uses voice clips of Andy Serkis for him.

* FamousNamedForeigner: Placeholder or not, several generic names are the same of famous ones with different first syllables:

** Gerudo: Ganondorf -> Mathosi'''dorf''', Harunu'''dorf'''... (JustifiedTrope in this case as -dorf might be an actual suffix)

* FantasticRacism: The Hylians and Gerudo seem to despise each other openly. The Gorons and Zora seem to hate each other though not openly. Every other faction seems to look down on the Moblins as uncivilized beasts. The feud between Hylians and Moblins started ''millennia'' ago.

* FinalSolution: Hylia's plan against the Moblin threat: gather a huge army, leave all your cities undefended to lure the enemies out and [[ApocalypseHow turn their kingdom into a barren wasteland]] while they're gone.

* GoddamnedBats: The Deku Scrubs are an InUniverse example. Deku Palace is recorded to have been constantly but unsuccesfully assaulted by Kokiri, Lizalfos and [[KillerGorilla Monkeys]]. Why? Because the Scrubs kept endlessly harassing all of them.

* GrayAndGreyMorality: Every faction in the game seems to be capable of being assholes and heroes, contrary to their portrayals in the official Zelda games.
* GuideDangIt: Some of the more esoteric factions have mechanics that are not readily apparent, along with the conditions for spawning certain units and hero characters. For example, the game doesn't outright ''tell'' you how the Wizzrobe's conversion process works. [[note]]You have to recruit bishops and put them in foreign territories.[[/note]] Similarly, the exact conditions to allow you to recruit mercenaries are not stated outright, and some are complex. For example recruiting Yook Smashers requires Snowpeak being occupied by a faction, and that you be at war with said faction. Other mercenaries, like Rogue Hylian Soldiers or Forest Thieves, cannot be recruited by certain factions (Hyrule for the former, Kokiri for the latter).
* HamToHamCombat: The Moblin King Ganon Vs The Volvagian Sage of Fire Dakkon. [[StaringDownCthulhu Ganon wins]].

* HijackedByGanon: Inverted completely in Hyrule Historia. Ganon ends up being a pawn of [[spoiler:Dethl without even realizing it, who tricks him into a futile last stand against Princess Zelda that results in the slaughter of all his forces and his own death.]]

** [[JackOfAllTrades Kingdom of Hyrule]]: Generalist. A strong all-round selection of troops but does not excel at anything.

** [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Gorons]]: Elitist/Brute. Gorons hit hard, with their infantry almost as strong as other factions' cavalry. Just don't expect them to perform well from afar.

** [[TheFairFolk Fairies of Tarm]]: Spammer/Ranger. The BEST {{Glass Cannon}}s in the game, can quickly kill enemies with dazzling beams of death, but can as easily be swatted aside by normal soldiers.
** [[SuspiciouslySmallArmy Sheikah]]: Elitist/Guerrilla/Espionage. Very small units able to hide anywhere, outmanoeuvre enemies and gain a massive bonus in flanking. Basically melee glass cannons. Also able to subtly influence neighbours one way or another in the campaign.

** All the races and kingdoms that needed Link to save them before? They have their own armies now and can fight now.

** [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] by Hylia. She was once an Hylian infused with magic power that turned her into a PhysicalGod; as a result, [[AGodIAm people began worshipping her above the Goddesses themselves]]. When Demise [[BreakingSpeech made her realize her crimes]], [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she withdrew from Hyrule]] and asked for sanctuary to the Wizzrobes, [[UnPerson who erased every trace of her existence in exchange for the knowledge of her magical powers]]. Now, she's come back with the Order of the Wizzrobes and she's gathering always more followers, but their real plan is to get rid of anybody who betrays the Goddesses for Hylia and make sure only true followers are left.

Though technically a mod for ''VideoGame/ZeroAD'', the quality of ''Hyrule: Total War'' often caused it to be mistaken for an official game upon first sight. IGN even presented it alongside ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaSkywardSword Skyward Sword]]'' on October 21, 2011. Formerly a mod for ''VideoGame/MedievalIITotalWar'', the game is in the process of being ported to ''VideoGame/ZeroAD'' due to the former's engine limitations, with regular updates adding in more characters and playable factions. Sweetening the deal in the porting is that, while ''Medieval II'' costs $19.99 on Steam, ''0 AD'' is 100% free, meaning more people will have access to the mod, and is also 100% open-source, meaning the creator has free reign to make the game however he wants.

** Princess Zelda, Saria, the Deku Princess, and pretty much [[UpToEleven every female]] character that's ever appeared in ''Zelda'' series suddenly kicks ass.

A completely fan made game of Nintendo's ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' series, ''Hyrule Conquest'' (formerly known as ''Hyrule: Total War'') seemingly came out of nowhere and in a short span of time exploded everywhere on the Internet. The game, created by a person going by the name [=UndyingNephalim=], allows players to take command of many iconic characters and races from the series and assemble them into massive armies, which can then be used to wage war across the face of Hyrule.

** Lanayru Zora ride horses and Battlecrabs.
** Zora ride Bigoctos, Moblins ride boars, Kokiri ride wolfos and Deku Trees, Lizalfos ride Helmasaurs, River Zora ride Cueballs, Subrosians ride Moldorms, Deku Scrubs ride Manhandlites, Ocean Blins ride Kargaroks and Anouki ride Pengator chariots and Gyorg Rays.

* TheIlluminati: The Shekiah Cadre is arguably this, known to be a small, cryptic organization, capable of making world-changing decisions with simple actions, and are never seen doing so. Descriptions for units such as Kingmakers state they're known for 'taking down corrupt politicians', or 'stopping wars before they begin'.

* LongRangeFighter: Labrynnians's third [[PlanetOfHats hat]]. Becomes a sort of InformedAttribute when you see that their roster is composed of only four missile units of which one is BowAndSwordInAccord, another is OverratedAndUnderleveled and the last is a fully stationary MightyGlacier, whereas they can field elite melee soldiers and [[PoweredArmor mechs]].

* WorldTree: The Deku Trees, who can now apparently move around and gobble up enemy soldiers.
