Is Zelda Hyrule Warriors open-world?

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is not an open world game. Though Koei Tecmo worked closely with the Breath of the Wild team for this release, the game itself is not as open as Breath of the Wild, and focuses on battles happening in confined maps, rather than free exploration. Aug 23, 2021
