You can’t get more suitable than a full out war, after all. The setting for Age of Calamity makes for a perfect backdrop for the action packed gameplay of Hyrule Warriors. Zelda still has that obvious fake British accent and it detracts from her character a tad. Although, the voice acting has a few performances that bother me. It feels like an honest to goodness Zelda plotline, and that pleases me. I won’t go into too much detail to avoid spoilers, but I will say that, while there are a few aspects I take issue with, it is an enjoyable story with some good character arcs that I always thought Breath of the Wild failed to utilise. Because of the larger focus on plot, Age of Calamity has a far more serious tone to it than the original Hyrule Warriors, which basically had an excuse plot to drive the gameplay forward. The plot assumes that you’ve played Breath of the Wild and seen the various flashback scenes that game has, making no apologies for those who may not have done so. Link from the past, along with Princess Zelda, meet up with the Guardian, discover pictures of the future devastation that will befall them, and strive to work together to stop Calamity Ganon and change the future for the better. The game begins with a small Guardian that sounds a lot like R2-D2 escaping from Hyrule Castle (after it has been taken over by a malevolent entity called Calamity Ganon) by travelling through some kind of time portal back to 100 years before Breath of the Wild takes place. A presequel if you would, a made-up word that I will now go and trademark. A sequel to Hyrule Warriors that also serves as a prequel to the mega hit Zelda title, Breath of the Wild. So you can imagine I was very excited when Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity was revealed. The 3DS rerelease added even more stuff, and the Definitive Edition currently on Switch is one of my most played games on the console. But my second favourite was Hyrule Warriors, a spin-off title that mixed the Dynasty Warriors series of games with the Zelda franchise to provide a very silly and entertaining hack-and-slash game stuffed to the brim with characters from multiple Zelda games, and a ridiculous amount of content to play through. The basic gameplay involves you controlling a number of characters around a battlefield, completing objectives while delivering ridiculously elaborate smack downs to large amounts of enemies at once, to stop them from overwhelming your absolutely useless army.Do you know what my favourite game on the Wii U was? Well, OK, it was Smash Bros.
