About the game
What you do in a play session
Prepare for an epic adventure in Hyrule! In The Legend of Zelda: Clockwork Realm, peace has once again been shattered by Ganondorf, and the Triforce has been broken. Now, the world is fragmented, and it's up to you and your friends to piece it back together to save the kingdom. This is a cooperative game where each player takes on the role of one of the many shadows of the hero, Link, embarking on journeys through dangerous lands and dungeons.
The game unfolds over four progressively challenging levels. Each level features a dungeon that the heroes must explore to find and defeat a boss, thereby collecting Triforce shards. To overcome the challenges, you'll use a deck-building system, starting with basic abilities and adding items and treasures to strengthen your heroes throughout the game. Managing your hand of cards will be crucial for executing the right actions at the right time.
With a modular board that ensures replayability, Clockwork Realm invites you to explore fantastic settings, solve puzzles, and ultimately face the all-powerful Ganon in a decisive showdown. It's an experience that captures the magic of the Zelda series, perfect for those who enjoy adventure, exploration, and a good cooperative challenge. Prepare for the final battle and save Hyrule from darkness!
