    For my final review of 2020, I'm beating a lot of goblins up in the next rendition of Hyrule Warriors, Age of Calamity! The 2014 original was a surprise hit, so is the follow-up just as good, if not better?

    I feel like this game went the direction it did because Koei Tecmo loves having as many playable characters as possible and they wouldn’t be able to add those certain characters if they stuck solely to what we thought it was gonna be, and they’re too popular in the context of this era for them to ignore I feel.

I don't really understand why they don't have out-of-time non-canon characters as extras anyway, but since they chose not to do that at all from what I see here, they really needed the extra roster.

      Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition is by far the hardest game to 100% ever. It easily takes 2000+ hours, possibly even more. 5 Story Campeigns, each being 25 hours each, plus 10 adventure maps (one for every mainline Zelda game outside of BotW) each with 1000 battles. A single adventure map takes about 200 hours to 100%, and there's 10 of them! It's absolutely insane. If you can 100% Hyrule Warriors, you are a god. (And you have way to much free time) Even of you play for 10 hours every day, it will take you over 210 days to complete it, or more than half a year! Absolutely insane.

  • @johnnymind4151
    @johnnymind4151 3 ปีที่แล้ว +26

    I think that they should have given us both possible endings, the one where everyone still dies, despite the efforts of Terrako, closer to what actually happened before Breath of the Wild, and the one where we change history.
    Personally, I would have been more disappointed if they removed the what-if scenario, because as I played Breath of the Wild that's what I wanted to do when I heard about all the advanced technology present in that world, but having both endings would have still been pretty nice.
    I'm having a lot of fun with this game, even though I'm still pretty early into the game, since I'm alternating playing this and another game (Bug Fables, if you're curious).
    If you like Musou games and the world of Breath of the Wild, this is a really, really good game, totally worth it, even though I agree that the first Hyrule Warriors is still the best one, thanks to its crossover nature and it being an actual definitive edition.
    Anyway, Happy New Year everyone!

Age of Calamity on the whole has way more hits and they just feel natural as opposed to mashups. I would never peg 'Eclipse of the World' as being in a mainline Zelda game, but 'The Knight Who Seals the Darkness'? yeah that would totally work, and not just because it has the Song of the Hero/Loz1 bar in it.
      HW is basically exclusively kickass, workout music, wheras Age of Calamity can work for anything in the right mood. both have merit, but on the whole Age of Calamity blows it out of the water.

  • @werwolfnate

    In defense of their alternate timeline decision. The lore set up in botw would have given them minimal room to do a dynasty warriors style story and locked them off from a lot of iconic botw stuff without just deciding to screw canon anyway. The canon plot had a lot of wandering around hyrule trying and failing to unlock Zelda’s sealing power with some monsters mixed in until ganon shows up and most of the cast dies pretty quickly after. Sticking strictly to canon would have limited what they could have done. The roster would have been smaller for one (fan favorite Sidon in particular would have been limited to strictly non-story content), they couldn't use towers as they weren't found until 100 years later, and even the sheikah slate runes wouldn't have been available as they weren't figured out until after Link went asleep.
    Prequel stories are hard to do at the best of times and BotW, memories and all, just had a more laid back energy to it and working a canon prequel out of the high energy dynasty warriors structure wouldn't have been impossible just difficult.
    So personally I was a bit relieved they just went AU fanfic with it, though not to say they used their freedom to its fullest potential.

    One thing that people are forgetting about halo reach is that we never knew much about what happened on reach except what we were told. (unless you read the books, but the game retconed them anyways). So bungie had more creative freedom. In breath of the wild, the main story is about link recovering his lost identity by revisiting his past and avenging his dead friends by freeing the Divine beasts and destroying Ganon.
    We are told a great deal about hyrule before and during the calamity, through memory, hearsay, or what we are shown through the environment, we are even shown exactly how link is incapacitated before BoTW, realistically there isn’t a lot of room to make a game (a warriors style game no less) based solely off of those events.
    People are calling this story a cop out but I think Nintendo put more thought into this game than people realize.

It honestly says something about the game that I was *happy* with the 100% Reward being Link's outfit from the first Hyrule Warriors. It felt so right to slap it on him, and yet doing so completely divorces him from the Breath of the Wild and Age of Calamity. I was happy that getting 100% made the game more like *the other game.* And that... that is not a good sign for the game.

    The game is overall good, its just the missions can be repetitive and the story is disappointing. I think having the game be an alternate timeline was a mistake.
    Its dumb that people are arguing against having a true prequel story because we already know what happens. Yeah, no duh, prequels are more about the journey rather than the destination, they're supposed to flesh out certain characters as well as strengthen the original story. Xenoblade 2's DLC, Torna the Golden Country, shows how a prequel can be great despite knowing how it goes down.
    Heck, you can still have all the characters, just have the future champions and other characters be unlockable characters who aren't canon to the story like Maz Koshia or the Great Faries. AoC is a fun game but I don't think it should've taken the story in that direction.

    So, to discuss spoiler stuff (I sure hope I do this right...)
    The game was always advertised as THE STORY OF THE CALAMITY. It was never stated to be "the story that happened before." People just assumed it was going to be a direct prequel. I personally had a feeling from announcement that it wasn't going to be the exact story due to using the Hyrule Warriors name and not "The Legend of Zelda." I also knew that THEY WERE NOT going to be able to ignore fish husbando since... Well, It's Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja, both well known for characters with... Large mammories, of which Breath of the Wild really didn't have, meaning they'd have to cater to the opposite crowd. There was also that it was it's own game and not DLC, meaning that it ending with Calamity wouldn't feel like a complete story. It's also worth noting that, while altered slightly, for the most part, events still play out more or less as we knew. We still GOT the story. It was changed, but the points of the Calamity such as Fort Hateno? Still, for the most part, the same.

    Mipha's "I know I will see you again someday" is easily the most powerful note. It's technically true but only half so. She will see her little brother grow up but the future Sidon will only have his precious memories of both Mipha's to hold close. :(

      Falco is most likely a reincarnation of Revali. They have the same voice actor, color scheme, and general personality,. (They are both a-holes) so the fact that Falco is a reincarnation of Revali is highly likely, as they exist in the same universe. According to a popular theory, the majority of Nintendo games are linked. Zelda, Mario, and Animal Crossing take place on the same planet, while Kirby, Metroid, Star Fox, F-Zero, and Splatoon take place on different worlds. Falco is a Rito, as it's my theory that the Rito from BotW were space-farers who were banished from their tribe to Hyrule and stripped of all technology not "evolved zoras" like they supposedly were for Windwaker. (According to the Hyrule Encyclopedia, which isn't 100% relyable as it claimed that Termina was a dream world that ceased to exist after Link left, making the entire game pointless.) All the animals from Star Fox are just alien species. Fox and Red are one-tailed Kitsune Falco is a Rito, Slippy is a Dream Toad, (Wart's race) and Peppy is a greater lupina. (Beastkin come in two types, lesser and greater. Lesser beastkin are humans with some animal traits, while greater beastkin are anphro animals) Fire Emblem, Earthbound/Mother, Golden Sun, Eternal Darkness, and Pokemon do not take place in the same world as the other series.
