During a Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity gameplay segment in Koei Tecmo’s Tokyo Game Show 2020 livestream, the footage featured an interesting cutscene from the game, teasing new elements of the story.
Prominently featured in this scene is the mysterious little egg-like Guardian previously seen on official artwork and on the metal charm included in the Treasure Box edition of the game. The scene begins with Link encountering the little blighter as he remains dormant, butterflies resting upon it. The peaceful moment is quickly interrupted as a horde of Bokoblins are seen chasing the newly revealed Impa, and in her panic, she trips and a Sheikah Slate hurtles out of her hands. Link catches the Slate, and the Egg Boy awakens as it falls within his proximity.
We then catch a glimpse of the little creature’s powers, with a Sheikah Tower emerging rapidly from the ground and stopping the incoming enemies in their tracks. As Link and Impa stand in awe, the little Guardian makes some adorable, R2D2-like noises, and the scene comes to a close. As the footage cuts back to gameplay, the creature follows Link around in his adventure.
You can watch the full cutscene unfold in the video below, at the 1:18:38 mark:
Strangely, given the focus on the little guy, we still don’t have an official name yet. We’ll let you know as soon as that changes!
