So, those who don’t know will ask, what is Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity? Well, it is the brand new successor to the 2014 title Hyrule Warriors! What makes these titles different from other Legend of Zelda games is that the gameplay mechanics are crossed over with the gameplay of a different title from the same EXACT studio, Dynasty Warriors! Playing Hyrule Warriors compared to other Zelda games is like night and day. It’s fast-paced, smooth battling action on the fly. The combos and animations for the Warriors series is honestly unlike ANYTHING I have seen in any video game period. It’s a hack-and-slash type of battling system, you can pull off beautiful combinations to defeat waves of enemies in no time!
I was really excited to dive into this game today because I have waited a VERY long time to play this game. I have been a Zelda fan since I was 7 and I find the universe of Zelda to be very captivating, story and graphic wise! Age of Calamity the first The Legend of Zelda game to act as a direct prequel to another entry in the series. In the story, Link and Princess Zelda must gather allies from all across Hyrule to fight the forces led by the evil Calamity Ganon, who tries to take over the kingdom.
Basic gameplay is participating in large-scale battles against enemies, while also completing objectives, and taking strategic actions such as capturing bases and commanding troops. Players are able to complete missions and challenges, use resources to access new areas, build weapons, and cook foods that can be used as buffs.
