Hyrule Warriors Legends: How to Unlock All Playable Characters

Zant

To unlock Zant, you must work your way through the main Adventure Mode map to square 3-3. That’s the third row down, third column in from the left. Before entering the challenge, you must use a Digging Mitts item card to clear a particular square of soft grass on the map. You can use a Compass item card to reveal the square if you like, but the soft patch of grass is impossible to miss. It’s on the top left, and it’s the only green patch here. In doing so, Zant becomes a new reward for completing that stage.

From there simply complete stage 3-3, and Zant will then be playable, equipped with the Usurper’s Scimitars.
