Which Switch 3rd party crossover has best adapted from its original series?

We’ve gotten 5 major crossovers in third parties games so far on the Switch: two from Ubisoft, two from Koei Techmo, and 1 from Brace Yourself Games. While they all take significant inspiration from their Nintendo source material, each one has its own significant spin. Which do you think adapted elements from the original series the best?

Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition * A crossover between Zelda & Dynasty Warriors, this game contains a ton of Zelda characters, items, and locations. There’s also a magic meter similar to Zelda, and adventure maps that are just like Zelda 1 on the NES!

Fire Emblem Warriors * This Fire Emblem X Dynasty Warriors crossover has its most obvious take away from the series be its characters, mostly from Mystery of the Emblem, Awakening, and Fates. However, its focus on tactics alongside hack n’ slash action makes it feel more strategic, like a standard Fire Emblem title.

Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle * The most bizarre of the bunch, this Mario + Rabbids crossover is chockfull of references to the series it its levels and weapons. The ever important feature of spring boarding off your allies is also clearly inspired by Mario’s platforming focus.

Starlink: Battle for Atlus * While not a full-fledged crossover, the Switch version of this new IP contains playable Fox, Falco, Peopy, and Slippy, as well as a storyline with Wolf. You can even do a barrel roll.

Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the Necrodancer ft. The Legend of Zelda * The title says it all; this game takes the already similar Necrodancer and infuses it with a ton of unique spins on Zelda enemies, items, locations, and more. I said M+R was the most bizzare, but a guitar-playing Armos does come close.
