No wonder everything in BotW breaks so quickly. All that stuff went through a Warriors game 100 years before.
Surprise... it was all just as brittle back then too. Have fun in those 1v1000 fights :-p

arlo: whoops, don't wanna ramble about this thing for an hour!
i mean, but what if you did, though
Finally, someone asking the important questions.
Hey Ashe, love your singing btw
Omg wait, I remember watching your Adventure Time and SU covers like 5 years ago. Funny how a blue puppet is what brought me back to you
What if he rambled about it...
FOR THREE!!?!?!
Yeah, I agree, I'd listen to Arlo for hours... ...
... ASHE?! Huh, small world.
This was one of those “I didn’t even know I wanted that” moments for me.
Same lmao
Funny because I know I don't want this
@@InnerRise Why? You haven't seen much of it, and if you like BotW, why would you not want this?
@@TayoEXE
I have BOTW but havent played it yet
But I know I dont like Dynasty Warriors
@@InnerRise when you play botw you'll 100% want to experience or at least see the freaking apocalypse that happened before.
Arlo: "I need to take more breaks!"
Nintendo: PIKMIN 3, ALL THE MARIO RERELEASES, AND ZELDA
Arlo: "Guess I'm not taking more breaks"
Stay safe, Arlo!
I guess this pleases him more than taking a break
Don't remind him.
Guess I'll die
I mean he should take more if all the releases come when he takes one
is your wallet on life support yet ?
I'm most excited to see a Castle Town that isn't in ruins!
isnt it ruining in this game tho? most scenarios were already ruined in the first hyrule warriors
@@katoshi6464 the first hyrule warriors is not canon
Kingketo W.R But...it is a Warriors game.
@@Alaois it is though
It is canon Warriors game but it still is Warriors. Only because something is one thing doesn't mean it isn't the other anymore haha
Givin the type of game this if it isn't already in ruins by the time you start fighting there, it will be by the end of the fight
Canonically speaking, there was a brief time when Zelda both had her sealing powers and hadn’t sealed Ganon as she visited the Deku tree to leave the master sword there before dealing with Ganon
So... maybe we get to seal Ganon as the final boss?? Not my idea though, another person in the comments suggested that and I think it would be awesome!
I assumed her sealing power came from the Triforce and that the Shikah Slate powers are given to those who can posses the slate that was passed down the Royal family.
@@DesTr069 Yeah Ganon would be the Final Boss.
Cool thought: in Hyrule Warriors (I've never played any other Warriors game), a lot of characters had multiple weapons to choose from. Maybe one of Zelda's weapons is the Sheikah Slate, and her sealing powers are a weapon that unlocks on that last level.
@@aerowalker3 There's already screenshots of Link using multiple weapons (knight's sword, Master Sword, bow) so I definitely agree Zelda's gonna have multiple different powers.
Nintendo: Instructions unclear, released Breath of the Wild Zero by accident instead of BoTW2.
pretty much
Fans: hey Nintendo, those 100 years ago look badass, we want a prequel!
Nintendo: Breath of the Wild 2 now in development
Fans: Hey Nintendo, we want a sequel!
Nintendo: By the way, here's a prequel
Why are you playing with us like that Nintendo!?
All joking aside, these games take time to develop. I'm pretty sure Breath of the Wild took 5 years to develop
Nintendo is the king of "Unexpected, but in hindsight totally obvious."
Thats the best kind of surprise. Characteristics like these are perfect for plot twists.
@@Marnige I agree
Its crazy that breath of the wild is now officially a trilogy
Should new players play this or the original first?
Noah Hazlett Original all the way.
@@mercifulpancake5669 because the first game was light on story and it strings you along with the mystery of what happened a hundred years in the past I would personally say to play the original first as the little story the original does have would probably feel redundant after the prequel.
@@mercifulpancake5669 Original first def it will make you appreciate the story of the prequel more. The lack of story in BOTW1 was my only gripe so having this shore up the story brings it all together.
@@JD-ny3vz Lack of story and the absence of music were my two big things, so I'm really excited. The music in the first Hyrule Warriors was so good. I'm still a little worried about BotW 2 though. I'm okay with Zelda conventions being broken, but a wonderful soundtrack is not something I want to give up haha
The best part about this whole thing was that it was dropped out of nowhere. It wasn't even leaked or rumored, so this was an awesome surprise!
Makes me wonder if the other games were meant to be leaked...
@@kbrandon21 it would be a marketing tactic so i wouldn't be surprised
it got people talking like wildfire after all
I don’t all of them were supposed to
I like that it wasn't leaked, but I also wish they'd give us SOME warning in advance so my reveal of it isn't seeing the thumbnail of the trailer
This what we would have if people haven’t got used to leaks and bitch like little babys everytime Nintendo doesn’t spill the entire year timeline for their games. But what can you do with this fanbase?
Link's dad was one of the Hyrule knights. I'm hoping he'll make an appearance somewhere, if not be a fully playable character.
And maybe we'll confirm that the house we bought at Hateno was actually his.
I want Link's sister to be playable. Be a great way to put Linkle in. Even if she's doomed.
BJGvideos, I don’t think he has a sister? Did they say he did
@@rednovaproductions5247 Creating a Champion says he did.

OwO
Don't worry Arlo, you shaved off 8 minutes from your 30 minute goal.
7 minutes and 11seconds
7 minutes 11 seconds, and 22 milliseconds
7 minutes, 11 seconds, 22 milliseconds, and, uh... extra time.
The Sheikah slate had been "damaged" 100 years ago, leading to runes needing to be reinstalled. It's why the camera rune was there in the DLC flashback, but not at the beginning of the game.
Even before the DLC it was established that the camera worked before, since the memories were based on pictures Zelda made in the past. I think it was even mentioned that something got damaged when you visit Hateno
@@Beny763 that's correct.
Koei : Hey Nintendo, can we a do a full canon prequel to one of your most famous IP ?
Nintendo : Of course buddy, do what you want
Paper Mario developper : Hey Nintendo, can I put an astronaut helmet on a Paratroopa who wish to to space ?
Nintendo : ...(Silent Luigi death stare)
lmoa
Ouch! My feelings. And intelligent systems' freedom.
You have to understand that Mario lore is much more complicated, they can't just crerate interesting and diverse characters that might not fit into this carefully crafted universe. Now, Zelda is different in that regard, it's not like there's any story anybody would care about.
@@uppernimbus Wrong, you're just not seeing the bigger picture. Nintendo knows what they're doing with the Mario universe, and once the overarching storyline comes together, it will make perfect sense that we can't have any new characters.
UpperNimbus I mean, I don’t wanna be that guy, but you got wooshed really, really, reeaallyy hard
Let’s be real. Fighting hundreds of guardians like Link did during the calamity is what Hyrule Warriors was mean’t for
Well i loved the first one as it is as well!

I'm in this comment and I don't like it.
**[laughs in groose never seeing the light of day again]**
@@modelomegatyler Are you saying my Groose is cooked?
@@TruExtentChannel i can only hope so. baring a skyward sword remake
It's so rare that I can say "this is something I never knew I wanted." But yeah, that's the case here. It makes perfect sense. The story of the Calamity is such an interesting Zelda story. But one that fits so perfectly for this style of game. This is a big war. And also it's a story that takes place over a decent period of time. I was always ok with the Calamity just being that event that we pieced together through the various in-game hints and those memories. But this time we can experience this event. We can see Link's rise to becoming a champion of hyrule and then the tragedy that followed.
We're getting Crisis Core: Breath of the Wild, and I'm loving it.
Saameeee
Soo... was it everything you hoped for?
The Sheika slate was damaged during the Calamity, meaning Zelda could use the runes before BotW. Link only restored them and upgraded them.
Link just had to unlock his phone (er sorry, slate) for her. It has facial recognition. 😆
But the runes are activated in the shrines, and Zelda couldn't open the shrines
@@videomissionary maybe they were already there?
Hmm Impa had access to the runes (to upgrade them) so yes, they could have been activated and used during the great calamity.
videomissionary Yeah, don’t forget that the sheika people themselves can use the runes, so it’s very possible impa could place or take away that power from the sheika slate herself.
Best possible final boss: Play as Zelda, on her own, in order to seal Ganon once Link has gone into stasis. FIGHT ME.
Brody Challinor I won’t bc it’s a really good idea
I love that we know how this story will end. The tragic motivation is fantastic.
I was thinking a good ending mission might be a battle at the fortress in Akala. You just try to hold it as long as you can.
Or before that your objective is to survive as long and the more damage you take the more it shoes on link until you die. And you can't win that would be pretty depressing
And there’s also boss fights with the blight ganons as each of the champions
What I want more than anything is this game to have the ultimate downer ending. Something that just sticks with you for days on end. A full cutscene, a montage maybe, jumping between each of the four champions doing their best against the blight demons infecting their divine beasts (using only the items you had available in the Champions Ballad battles) as Zelda races to Hyrule Castle. They inevitably fall and we see a full scene of Zelda's confrontation with Calamity Ganon where she seals both him and herself away, stopping the destruction from getting worse. Credits roll over footage of Link being placed into the Shrine of Resurrection by the Sheikah Warriors and Purah, with the final shot of the game tracking out as Purah seals the shrine until Link wakes up, fading to black on the closed door with the Sheikah symbol.
I wonder what kinda riots we’ll see if the ending doesn’t match up with Botw?
Do you mean something like Skyward Sword?
Yes!
Alright Satan, settle down
Final line:
_Open your eyes._
If the cutscene compilations aren’t at least 3 hours long I’ll be disappointed
Same.
A Nintendo game that exists primarily to tell a story. Who would've ever thought we’d see the day?
@@paya5616 Not at all, are you out of your mind? It sure tells a story, but it was always a game before it was a story. Unlike this game.
Papaya to be fair, you can do a lot of things in Zelda that have nothing to do with the story
@@paya5616 Zelda stories have never been really deep. It was always a game first. The story was always just a second thought. The reason why people make so many theories and there are so many details in each game that are still a mystery, is because the stories are all very superficial
@@paya5616 Zelda stories have never been really deep. It was always a game first. The story was always just a second thought. The reason why people make so many theories and there are so many details in each game that are still a mystery, is because the stories are all very superficial
@@paya5616 For Nintendo gameplay and game design always come first, and Zelda is not an ecception, I even remember an "Iwata ask" where they specifically highlighted that :P
I love that Nintendo is doing a lot of stuff for this period of Zelda. It's been a while since we had games with the same Link multiple times.
Makes me wonder what they’re gonna do after
I've had an idea bubbling away of a 4 Swords style game featuring the 4 champions. I doubt Nintendo would do a Zelda game without Zelda or Link but I think it would be a cool concept.
Ehhh, not really. I mean, it definitely depends on how you define “games with the same Link” and whether or not handhelds count.
Link’s Awakening is a direct sequel, with the same Link, though I’m sure that isn’t going to count because it’s a remake...
A Link Between Worlds might/might not count. It’s a direct sequel to ALttP and LA, but Link isn’t the same from those. However, the StreetPass guy is *heavily* implied to be the Link from those previous games. That was what, 2-3 Zeldas ago, and on a current gen handheld?
Prior to that you have Phantom Hourglass, a direct sequel to WW. Spirit Tracks (a direct sequel but 100 years removed), and Skyward Sword are the only games in between it and ALBW. So again, only 2 releases prior to another direct sequel.
There’s a LOT more sequels and same-Link’s than people seem to realize. But again, ymmv on this one cause it depends on how you quantify it lol
@@wokeupinapanic I'm going to disagree that the Streetpass guy is LttP Link, but I suppose that only Nintendo knows.
Regardless that doesnt mean that LBW doesn't count, because unfortunately Triforce Heroes exists and that was a direct sequel to LBW.
However this Is the very first time that we get the same Link *3* times in a row which is very cool
@@paya5616 I'm really afraid about that. What can come after BOTW (as in after the sequel)? More open world? New ways to implement the old dungeons in this new style? How big its scope can be until it stops growing? What if the next game is not as good?
I think most of the 3D zeldas are so great because they are truly something more than the last game. Sure, there is a lot where Botw could improve, but with expectations so high, will we get to a point where zelda gets stale?
It's so bizarre to think that this spin-off is _canon._
It may not be, because Zelda use statis.
it IS canon. This is a prologue to BotW
When a Warriors game is more canon than the original Zelda and A Link to the Past
@@littenfire3563 it doesn't make sense story wise then. The runes were never discovered pre calamity so how does Zelda and Link use runes? How do the champions fight corrupted guardians if they died once the divine beasts were taken?
The story between them has many holes that would be very hard to fix.
@@JFang-jh8ie Its just a game, be glad we have a new Zelda title
"I don't want Nintendo to go full Kingdom Hearts here,"
You should never go full Kingdom Hearts. Kingdom Hearts shouldn't have gone full Kingdom Hearts.
Once you go full Kingdom Hearts, you can never go back
*whispers*
But we love it anyway
@@SoralaxPlays do we? Nah we dont
Disagree
At least the combat and RPG progression elements in KH are always interesting. Not so much for Dynasty Warriors
I'm just thinking back to that one cutscene in botw where link is just standing amidst a field of dead lynels and moblins he fought singlehandedly.
That has to be a battle in this game.
Yes.
That'll probably be every battle in this game

I wanted a prequel about the first calamity, seing Ganondorf or Ganon being turned into the calamity must be an amazing story.
It's like instead of a huge 30-minute Nintendo Direct, we have had a month of mini directs, with all of the partner showcases, Mario, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and now Zelda.
What I really think is what's going on is: they're able to make the games and make mini partner showcases(cakes) but don't have enough Bakers(editors) to create a entire direct, so they give us the ingredients (pieces) for a direct instead.

Also nintendo with metroid
We are sorry its taking so long.
Its fine.
HERES NOTHING WHILE YOU WAIT
aight
@@warpuppythedragon659 Metroid is a niche title with far fewer fans than Zelda. I live in Japan and almost no one I know here has ever played a Metroid game
@@samanthashoner5245 that's because there haven't been a metroid game in their lifetime
@@marieilbergjacobsen3061 I'm not talking about kids. I'm talking about adults in their 20s and 30s. Metroid doesn't sell well in Japan compared to the US
The coolest part of this story is that at the end of the game 'winning' will be making it to the shrine of resurrection and losing.
Hopefully, we can solo Zelda to get the Master Sword to the Great Deku Tree before facing down Ganon. That's the missing chapter I'm looking forward to.
Wow I can't believe so many people were so hyped up to lose everything. I mean wasn't the rest of 2020 hopeless enough? At least we did get a taste of that kind of madness in the capital riots right?
@@castonyoung7514 I legitimately don't remember making this comment I am wondering if maybe I was so tired that I couldn't think straight while writing it
"Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same"
- Ganon, probably
Guys there was a big thing that wasn’t leaked!
Also if you die on a level do you beat the game?
Let’s be real, it would be funny
Nier Automata style
You’ve created a time paradox!
you're not wrong tho-
But the point at which Link nearly dies specifically requires Zelda to get to a certain point. So if Link died at a earlier point, he wouldn't have been savable.
Nintendo to Warriors team: You can create a prequel story to a mainline Zelda
Nintendo to Paper Mario team: No Mario characters for you!
Sadly, very true
Yeah wondering if nintendo will just buy koei Techmo if it sells really well
@@thenintendogamer1542 I seriously doubt it. Not only do they still have their own warriors franchise but they made persona 5 scramble(which still hasn't been localized)and the like. Nintendo didn't even buy alphadream/retro.
Brandon Wood they dont own retro? Wow didnt know that and that’s the reason I think they might we are talking about Nintendo I honestly think thats one of the reasons they try to
And mario and luigi might not be dead since they filed new trademarks for them in January so who knows
I think if it does sell well we will get more nintendo warriors games imagine Metroid Warriors
Brandon Wood retro studios is owned by Nintendo. It’s their only owned studio in the us
Story wise, it's basically going to be the Halo: Reach of Zelda games.
The last mission in the game you just get a banner that reads “New Objective: Survive”
"Want to know if we're losing?" "I know we're losing, I want to know if we've lost"
Since it's a Warriors game, it would actually be split into two messages: "Victory Conditions have changed!" followed by "Survive!"
I can't wait to play missions around the fall of Akkala CItadel and the Miracle at Fort Hateno. I am so stupidly hyped for this
I thought of these instantly, too!
I kinda like that they are splitting the story into a trilogy, it just gives us more to play!
Yea its extra cool becuz this one is gonna be alot diff
I read more to pay...
Which is... Also true XD
Angela Lugo lol
We get to experience the story of the calamity in the prequel, to see the aftermaths of it on the main game and prooceed further on the story on the sequel
A perfect trilogy tbh
@@Alaois potentially in the future. That's exactly what's happening with Mario 3D All-Stars: 3 AAA games for the price of one. Yeah, they're older, but in their time they were each full priced. I guess it kind of depends on your definition of a "AAA game."
Arlo: "I've got tingles!"
Me: "You're not going to prance around in a green elf suit, are you?"
He might, you never know.
But Nintendo always strives for originality and creativity. Mario is the IP that they use to do all those weird spin off games. What would be the fun for them to do the same thing again with another one of their franchises? It could be very cool, don’t get me wrong, but for Nintendo to do something like this, they would need for it to be vastly different and new. So who knows? Anyway, I can’t pretend to know how Nintendo works 😅
DesTr0 I think you replied to the wrong comment. 😂
Grant wait, I did. Whoops. Gotta find the good comment now 😂😂
DesTr0 XD I think your comment is better here, because it doesn’t belong
This actually looks absolutely amazing, I am so excited to see this story content.
Despite the fact that it will be filed alongside Torna the Golden Country and Crisis Core as "I want to playthough this game, but I know the ending is coming and it's gonna hurt"
The Warriors games are the perfect way to do the war against the calamity. Really hoping the story focus is there because it would make this the best secondary Zelda entry ever
I love the gameplay of Warriors, even if it is simplistic, but I'm way more hyped for the story as well.
Only arlo starts his titles with such lines as “I have tingles”
Amm611 koff koff asmr koff koff
GAMING MOTION we don’t talk about that side of TH-cam. Please there are children present 🤣
Amm611 Lol you got it😂
it actually means he's kidnapped Tingle
I hope this game doesn’t have any tingles
It’s fascinating to get a game where the inevitable ending is, well, failure.
I’m VERY curious to see how it plays out.
Pull a xenoblade 2 and every time you beat a boss or level, it starts a cutscene where you lose. (I loved xenoblade 2, but I always found that kinda silly the first time through)
It's not that common, but it certainly has been done. Crisis Core was a perfect example of it. The ending is what it is and you know that going in. But part of the greatness is the emotional journey that makes you really feel the cost in the ending.
Suppose could also look at XCOM 2 where that story is a sequel to any point where you got a game over in the previous game.
I didn't even think of that, but you're right...
I’m wondering if the game will end right before the champions die, like the memory where the champions come together after Zelda goes to the fountain of wisdom, and then Ganon shows up? That might be the way they end it, unless they decide to show the champion’s deaths.
@@aymase5037 they show them inside the divine beasts dying, so...
“Even when writing a book, show, don’t tell” -Arlo
That cuote alone shows how wrong his opinion about the story in BOTW is.
Dani
BOTW's story wasn't extensive, but i still found it evocative. it had good moments with good ideas, but overall it didn't expand on them much.
You might have been making a joke, but just in case you weren't: he means "show don't tell" as in, "show" through character actions and events, rather "telling" it by having a character say it. So like, if a character is supposed to be kind, then "show" it by having them do kind things, rather than just having everyone say that they're kind. It doesn't mean that it literally has to be a visual medium
What you show and what you tell has to be consistent. If you show the champions being strong leaders and the best at combat, then show us how they were defeated instead of telling us.
Botw's plot definitely felt rushed in that you got slight snippets and glimpses of it but for the most part you were kind of just told who you were and why you're here by any NPC you met. You never really dug that deep, it was like 10% of a game's plot that then got jumbled up on your floor like puzzle pieces and you were told to pick it up.
Also apparently you were dating a fish girl, that's non-negotiable and just a base part of Link's character. There is no choice in this matter, every copy of the game comes with that
I wonder if they'll make this a whole sub series for the Zelda franchise making titles around the war against demise the era of Chaos the imprisoning war the Hylian Civil War in the interloper invasion, to name a few
I doubt it, been a long time since the last release of hurdle warriors
@@blakefenslerjr4858 What's this hurdle warriors you speak of? 🤔
'totally unexpected yet when you think about it, it's obvious'
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN NINTENDO?!! As you said yourself, the kings of the left field...
Weston Meyer Yes PLEASE
Weston Meyer I say this as a huge fan of Three Houses and spending over 300+ hours on Fire Emblem Warriors: please no.
Weston Meyer Because I’d rather Fire Emblem Warriors 2 be more of a bigger crossover for the entire series other than just a Three Houses story expansion.
Weston Meyer That’s still just a Warriors game that focuses on just Three Houses. Which is the opposite of what I want for a FEW2. I want more games being included in FEW, like Sacred Stones or the Elibe games. I’m totally aware that KT made the assets for Three Houses, and I’d like for Three Houses characters to be in FEW2. But I don’t want Fire Emblem Warriors 2 to just focus on Three Houses.
Weston Meyer there’s a difference between having a lot of characters from a single game and having that single game be the focus. I don’t care if each house had 3 or 4 characters in so long as other games get represented. Plus, if we’re talking a hypothetical Three Houses exclusive Warriors game; wouldn’t it make more sense for it to take place during the 5 year gap where Byleth is unconscious. Because if it was a prequel there’d be little to actually make a story around. Just a game focusing on Sothis, Serios, Cethlenn, Cithol, etc, fight Nemesis. I guess that’d be a cool idea in theory but they really don’t need to do it since they show that war and how it ended pretty extensively.
Sticking with that "zelda-flavored" comment you made, I think a good way to put it would be the first Hyrule Warriors was a zelda-flavored warriors game, Age of Calamity seems like it's gonna be a warriors-flavored zelda game
This!! I like this.
Kinda like Dragon Quest Heroes 2, which was a DQ game in everything but gameplay.
And here I thought people licking their Switch games was a thing of the past...
Arlo: “If they tell us a good story, we will tune in, no matter what it is.”
Kingdom Hearts fans: 👀
What’s the story of Kingdom Hearts?
7 hours later...
I still don’t get it.
It even comes out seven days after MoM
Yeah KH is a trainwreck
Me earlier; "I wonder what their holiday title is gonna be, nothing fits the bill yet" (Sees the release trailer) Ah, Hyrule Warriors the BotW prequel, yup, that's the one.
So "I wonder how many characters will be in it" they mentioned in the trailer a "Wide array of characters" and compared to their usual clout, 7 ain't wide enough. I expect at LEAST 12. I could see Impa, as a younger woman, or perhaps Purah as a young, er... older? woman, finding a way to do battle with the camera function (Not the first time cameras have been used as a weapon in games and I love it when they are.) Perhaps even King Rhoam Bosphoramus Hyrule could be playable, I'm sure he'd have a huge sword and magic being in the royal family. Or perhaps King Dorephon, he WAS quite a fighter back in the day (Zora tablets). So many options!
"I'm pretty sure Link unlocked those functions (of the Shiekah Slate)" Yes, after they were locked away for safe-keeping. Purah mentions she already has experience with all of the functions Link has by the time he meets her (again), with the implication that Zelda had those functions unlocked when it was in her care.
"Are they gonna show us the Champions dying?" (Eureka moment) Wait, a lot of Warriors crossovers have a "Villains" section where you play as the bad guys... what if that's four of the slots of playable characters right there? Wind, Water, Thunder, and Fireblight Ganon? Urbosa explained in the fight against Thunderblight that it was what "Caught her off-guard" and killed her (spoilers I guess) So it would be amazing to play as the blights as they siege each Divine Beast and Slay each Champion.
(Also, I so hope that we get multiple weapons in this game again, I want Link fighting using EXCLUSIVELY the Master Cycle Zero, yes it's not been completed yet, but it can be a non-canon weapon, they did that in Hyrule Warriors)
"What do you think?" ... In case it isn't obvious, I loved every minute of 100%ing Hyrule Warriors... ... Except those last two or three adventures I had to do,those were hell, the rest was heaven.
Well, there is a possibility you can play the bad guys in the game, and King Rhoam is one of the story's main villains, so...
Hyrule Warriors got away with non-canon weapons because of time travel, dimension hopping, and just being non-canon and whimsical in general. They even had a whole history adventure mode where you “play” the different games via world maps covered in missions tiles, and where you’d unlock most of these non-canon weapons, skins, and even characters (since some characters that became playable didn’t actually impact the main story).
However, Age of Calamity is setting itself apart by strictly being canon and following an somewhat established past. We might get some fan service, but it’s best to only assume things that existed before BotW starts just until we get more released information. :)
It's just weird to me that this game is gonna the first spin-off to be canon. I'm happy a Warriors game is the first one to do so.
The multiplayer Zeldas are sort of in that boat
Like Triforce Heroes and Four Swords? I thought those were just straight up canon
You’re telling me Link’s Crossbow Training isn’t canon? 😤
Missed opportunity to make the og Hyrule Warriors cannon to reunite the timeline tho...
Emil Haugsbakk with the Game theory... theory?
Koei Techmo should get a representative in Smash, their work with Nintendo recently has been pretty damn solid and impressive
I'm a little salty we never got Ryu Hayabusa in Smash, even though he was a popular rumor.
Of course, it can still happen, but considering his connection to the NES, I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet.
How about Lu Bu in smash?
@@boxofrox619 Who now?
ToonZach a popular character from KT’s Dynasty Warriors series. Which is also the foundation for Hyrule Warriors, Fire Emblem Warriors, etc.
Koei Techmo helped make Fire Emblem: Three Houses if I'm not mistaken, so in a way they already have representation in Smash through Byleth.
"it's not the full experience, it isn't gonna have the dungeons and puzzles and such"
Neither did BotW in regards to dungeons tbh
Never played a Warriors game, Breath of The Wild finally got me into the series and i'm excited to try it out!
“Otherwise it’ll be a 30 minute video.”
*checks time
Hm
Good thing it wasn't 30 minutes
The idea that Breath of the Wild is a trilogy makes me really happy.
I’m ok with giving Zelda a neat move set with the sheika slate as long as they don’t bring it into the cutscenes since cutscenes are more canon than gameplay
After I finish this game, I'm going to replay breath of the wild. To get the fresh look on it.
I just hope it has some open world elements, too. Would love to walk a bit on hyrule a hundred years before breath of the wild.
Don't over hype it, have reasonable expectations.
@@vitalik38815 I agree, it is highly unlikely that there'll be open-world elements in a warriors game
I mean, I’m pretty sure we’re going to play in all areas of the map, but probably not in a connected way. However, we’ve already seen that the war was going on all across Hyrule, so we are at least going to see every area again, even if not in a fully exploitable manner. But hey, that’s what BotW and BotW are for, right?? ;)
@@artemiswetzler4902 You're right, I also don't expect it. But also keep in mind that Persona 5 Scramble wasn't quite the same as an average Warriors spin off, it was very much a Persona Game that had Warriors gameplay. This game *might* surprise us
While I don’t think they’ll include all of Hyrule (although I suppose they could modify the BotW map, it would take a lot of work and wouldn’t make sense here), I’m sure they’ll at least feature areas that were different before the Calamity, especially Hyrule Castle. Seems like we’ll also see towns, like Zora's Domain and Gerudo Town. And we’ll likely see characters like Impa, Purah, and Sidon 100 years ago.
I noticed that the Esrb rating was Teen, so maybe they could actually explore some darker, sadder, and scarier story elements.
Maybe we can get some hints to Botw 2’s story. Since that seems like a darker Zelda title

I think the "You and your friends are dead. Game over" ending is dark enough to justify it.
@@spaghettinick121 i can see revaili saying something along those lines but in LoZ
I’ve never been this excited for a dynasty warriors game!!!
Arlo is the type of guy who'd call someone 'bozo', then apologize for losing his temper
It says on the website that there are dozens of gripping cutscenes. DOZENS. Also, it's co-op!!! This may have been what Nintendo was talking about when they said they wanted to build a multiplayer game in the BoTW engine.
Ah, that makes sense, though I don't remember the multiplayer in BoTW engine being mentioned.
Do you remember where you heard that?
It isn't exactly built on the BoTW engine but on the Warriors one, although it could very possibly be the case--I surely can't wait.~
I doubt its the Breath of the Wild engine, screenshots on the JP eshop page make it look like its running on the Warriors engine
@@lukelcs8934 I don't exactly remember, I think I read it in an article or heard it on a Nintendo news channel it something.

is an interesting idea, Representing the "massive region calamity war" would be hard to do in an RPG like BoTW, but in a Warriors thing, surely fit perfectly, also, a way to show the Heroes Skills and strength, and show why they were deferated being champions of their people...
“2020 isn’t so bad after all!” -Arlo 2020
This is another XC2: Torna ~The Golden Country~ situation...
You know the lore, you know what happens, the one thing that sneaks up on you is how much you cry when the end comes.
I think at this point it may be safe to say that most of what we've seen lately was slated for what would've been the E3 Direct. But with the pandemic they could no longer be certain of the dates for when all their stuff was gonna go down. So instead they cut it all up and gave us shadow-drops when they did finally have set dates and could confirm all their projects. I'm still hopeful for a Direct toward the end of the year to focus on future titles and works in development but idk if that's very likely. They may just switch to the shadow-drop format or keep it close to vest while things are uncertain
Yes. I'm absolutely certain Nintendo didn't want to give out dates they have little confidence in, and instead have been trying to trickle things in as they become more and more certain themselves.
Hey Arlo I’m glad you seem to be back to making some videos you enjoy. This year has been tough and it’s taken a toll on all of us. Keep taking your breaks and being happy Arlo!
Nintendo continues to prove that I cannot predict a thing. I never thought they would do a prequel to BotW, never mind make it a HW game.
They often surprise me in the best ways!
Haha this year I was able to predict some things from Nintendo and many ones ended being true in the most anticlimactic way as possible. These are the ones that turned to be true (I made them last year for 2020):
- There will be something of Mario Kart and Splatoon (ended being the mario kart tournament, the AR game of Mario Kart and the recycled splatfests)
- There will be a weird game developed by NDCube (ended being Clubhouse Games: 51 Worldwide Classics
)
- There will be something of Monolith Soft (ended being the remake of Xenoblade Chronicles(ok, this one didn't count because they announced it during the mid year, but I forgot it before doing the prediction :P))
- Pokemon Sword & Shield Expansion.
- Pikmin 3 port
- DLC of Fire Emblem (haha another one that was announced, but I missed the announcement)
My way of doing the predictions is checking how much time the studios have spent without releasing anything, and how often the studios usually release games.
@Michael LMAOOOOOO
And you did not knwo the ending. It will be a delightfull surprise.
Remember, Link or someone must of discovered the runes 100 years before BOTW, because the King new about them when link woke up.
Oh yeah, I forgot that he knew about the runes. I imagine that may be explained in this game too if they're gonna give Zelda and link Sheikah Slate runes. There's got to be explanation, because one of the cutscenes in Breath of the Wild had Zelda frustrated that she couldn't open up a shrine with her Sheikah slate
zelda used stasis on this trailer
Not really, he had 100 years to find out about the runes, also, perhaps as a ghost he gained more wisdom or something like that.
@@LoboMeiji or he just went through the wall and saw them
@@moodle6500 True, true
They should make a final mission versus Ganon that can go on as long as you can survive, but you lose in the end no matter what. And there could be a challenge to last a certain amount of time.
objective: survive
I think that should be Link's final mission.
But I'm pretty confident the Final Boss Battle will be Zelda Vs. Calamity Ganon, and Zelda "wins" that battle... Even if the result of that victory is Gabon being sealed.
I love that idea!! Reminds me of older arcade games that you'd just play to see who got the best time/score but you'd never actually beat the game and people were fine with that!
Purah in BotW; “The Sheikah Slate you're using is the one Princess Zelda herself used 100 years ago. Back then, it only had the Camera, Hyrule Compendium, and album runes...”
Hyrule Warriors; "Yeah, about that..."
Maybe that's why we have that little guardian bot on the cover art, sneaky way to unlock the slate, and the abilities get lost at the end to power the resurrection shrine. I'm gonna nickname this little bot 'Navi' ^_^
@Sunset's Channel Very much agree, even slapped the exact thinking on my twitter a while ago; twitter.com/N7Dante81/status/1306523492897222658 - only reason I can think Link can have bombs etc despite lacking a slate. Wonder what kinda voice it'll have... I bet it's cute :p
@Sunset's Channel "I'm sorry Link, I can't do that. Daisy Daaaaaiiissssssyyyyy..."
As always, a great video Arlo.
Thank you for such amazing content, keep being you!
To be honest, I’m surprised that the Legend of Zelda hasn’t had a JRPG spinoff like Mario and Luigi/Paper Mario.
yeah, it seems like a really obvious direction.
It would be SO lovely
I would buy that day one.
Because the only thing that would change is the battle system. The overworld and dungeon exploration wouldn't be different enough to justify it. In fact, it'd probably be annoying to have a dedicated fight for minor encounters like keese
ewwww
Ganon: The time has come Commander. Execute Order 66. Also, remember that Zelda did things after Link fell in BOTW and she found her powers. She got Link to the Shrine of Resurrection and personally took the Master Sword to Kokiri Forest. The final mission of the game will probably end with Zelda using her magic to seal Ganon into the castle.
This announcement feels really fresh when everything is leaked or rumored well before the actual announcement. Day 1 purchase!
Hour 1 purchase
Why is it that those few words at the end make my day so much better
Can someone pull all the recent reveals together into a fake direct. That would be nice haha
Smort
Even though I’m not a fan of the dynasty warriors type games, I think it was a smart decision to use that gameplay style for the story of Calamity Ganon waging war on Hyrule.
I'm pretty sure the shieka slate will be this games version of the items in hyrule warriors. Like each character can use them.
i had goosebumps during the reveal, and had another goosebump when arlo spoke it from his perspective and wording.
kudos man.
This is a game we’re going in knowing we’re gonna lose.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 story DLC: "First time?"
Is a Crisis Core situation, with a very emotional ending. Does the game came with tissues?
@@nickstrife8312 I swear that's a reference to something with the tissues instead of a simple joke...
@@UltimaKeyMaster yeah, it was only that. No second intentions 🤣
4:32 I wonder what that cute little guardian thing is about. I hope he’s an Ally
I didn’t even notice him until I saw your comment
Henry-draws-stuff-andrandomcrap Kinda looks like Wheatley from Portal 2
Egguard
Jotaro The Ocean Man yea I can see it
I hope he gets rebuilt in botw 2
hey arlo, there is a samll period of time where zelda has her powers before she seals ganon canonically. after she unleashed them for the first time to save link she takes the master sword to the great deku tress for safe keeping (which we see) before she goes to seal ganon in the castle. hope that helps!
You really know how to tell the news in a fun and engaging way, especially with surprises like this.
That is the Arlo I love to see. Cheerful, excited and overflowing with video ideas. I love you, Arlo
A full direct with all that mario stuff, pikmin 3, and this would've been a really good one
Throw in a few indies and SMT
Oh yeah, a full direct with all of the past month's announcements would have lit the internet up like a wildfire. But I have a feeling that the actual direct would have been in a different order from what we've been given. Like, I think they would have started with the announcement for Age of Calamity, it's big news but it lets us get the disappointing announcement that BotW2 is taking a bit longer to sink in as the Direct goes on. Then they'd give us the Pikmin 3 Deluxe information after, tossed out a highlight reel of Indies, then used the Mario 35th Anniversary to close out the Direct, preferably all hosted by Doug Bowser purely for the well-established pun...actually, having a subs translated actual bowser do the announcement would have been hilarious.
They probably planned it for E3 but it got cancelled
E3 plans confirmation?
I am so pumped and got my switch now finally! Let's go! Love your videos, Arlo my dude.
Interesting part will be the villains story also. We willing be play game where the end goal is the bad guys win. I've noticed most warrior games have you fight from both sides of the fence. We're going into this game where the we are suppose to ensure the heros lose. So getting play as the forces of the calimity will be fun. I'm betting we have to play as the Phantom Gannons where we have to gain control of the Divine beast. Where we haven't to defeat the Champions and armies of their race to steal the Divine beast. Also there are Yiga clan characters we can play as.
I'm betting we get play as calamity forced, Yiga clan, Shekia clan, the different races, and Hyrulians. Can just imagine Yiga and Shekia storylines that can be told in this game.
I wonder if there will be new characters that represent the enemy, like Volga or Wizzro? Vaguely from the games, but wholly original.
Calamity Ganon is just a force of primal darkness, not really organized, with respawning hordes. The Yiga Clan is definitely the front runner, but I wouldn't think it would be Kohga, nor would I really want it to be. No one else comes to mind. Ideas?

ALL 500 MILLION HOURS!
It’s only 3 and a half but yeah it’s very long!
I mean this game looks good and I'm probably gonna buy it day 1 and all but... When Arlo was talking about how great the visuals looked and how it looked just like BotW I was like "bruh they just reused the assets is that really something to praise?"
I would prefer that, after all, it is a prequel. It's trying to pull a Majora's mask. Reusing the assets is the best way.
@@ravioli3807 I agree, and I really do like the botw art style. I also like that it reduces development time so we get the game faster. Overall no complaints from me, and it's a very efficient reuse of assets for sure. But after the BoTW sequel I would like to seem them change it up again and try something new so it doesn't visually stagnate like the Mario and Luigi series.
I was excited before, but hearing you break this down now has me vibrating in my seat with excitement. AAAAAAAA--!!
I want each champion and Link to have a mission that ends with an "objective: survive" moment at the end of the story.
Yes
The Lucky Ladle is cool and all, but I'd rather fight with the Tri-Forks.
No, we need the Master Torch.
