The upcoming game Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, shown at the Tokyo Game Show livestream, will be a return of many of the same enemies from Breath of the Wild, similarly to how the original Hyrule Warriors featured enemy designs from various Zelda games. While Bokoblins are featured heavily in the trailer as basic enemies…
As part of Koei Tecmo’s presentation for the upcoming Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, several new pieces of artwork were revealed for some of the characters we’ll be able to take into battle. Official artwork for Link and Princess Zelda was released following the game’s debut, and today we…
I was already shocked by the announcement and eventual release of the original Hyrule Warriors. A dream come true for someone like me who loves the Warriors games and the Zelda franchise, it was the mashup I never knew I wanted or needed in my life. Once Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity was announced I…
More screenshots from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity have recently been posted on the game’s official Twitter, with the latest batch showing character artwork and gameplay for both Link and Zelda. These tweets also include a short character profile for each; there isn’t anything here we don’t already know, but it’s nice to see a…
It’s not long now until the beginning of Tokyo Game Show 2020! The event kicks off on September 23 and will last until September 27, and like most events of late, TGS 2020 will be an online event due to ongoing concerns surrounding COVID-19. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will be among the featured games…
The official Japanese website for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has launched, and as users navigate between each page, a loading screen briefly appears featuring icons of Zelda, Link, and the four Champions. These icons bear resemblance to the icons of the Divine Beasts featured in the loading screens in Breath of the Wild after…
Beautiful. Schemer. Intelligent. Manipulator. Regal. Coward. Midna, the eponymous Princess of Twilight, appears to be many things throughout Link’s journey in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Yet, most of those things are only discovered during Link’s interactions with Midna after she’s been cursed and introduced to him in her impish form. So, let’s take…
Dabbing, sometimes referred to as “the dab,” is a simple yet effective gesture. In order for one to “hit that dab,” the performer must drop his or her head into the bent crook of a slanted, upwardly angled arm while simultaneously raising the opposite arm out straight in a parallel direction. Of course, you probably…
I had to stop and read the sentence again. My book had just made an off-hand reference to a roc as some kind of bird flying over the mountain pass. I laid the book down as the gears began to shift in my head. Every time I played a Zelda title where Link acquires an…
With its Definitive Edition being released last year, and the original being over five years old at this point(!), Hyrule Warriors is — spinoff or otherwise — one of my favorite Zelda games. Originally a Wii U exclusive and released in the Fall of 2014, Hyrule Warriors mashed together Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors and our…
I can’t say I ever expected to watch as Linkle and Link team up save Hyrule from a not-so-merry Christmas, but here I am. The day starts off as any typical Christmas would — if Christmas was celebrated in Hyrule. Linkle, asleep in her home, awakes with excitement and childlike fervor to inspect the bounty…
My love for the Warriors games began after a weekend rental of the wonderful Dynasty Warriors 4. I managed to play through all of the Wu dynasty campaign within said weekend and I loved everything about these kinds of games. Any time a new one came out I was quick to pick it up, including…
One of the things the Warriors games are known for, which admittedly is something I look forward to whenever I play them, is their use of heavy rock soundtracks. After all, what kind of music is better suited for mowing down tons and tons of enemies in an over-the-top fashion? The second Hyrule Warriors was…
Last week we celebrated the five-year anniversary of Hyrule Warriors with columns highlighting music, trivia, characters and cosplay from or inspired by the Zelda spin-off. But why stop there? Let’s keep it going for another day! Think of it as Hyrule Warriors Week: Definitive Edition. Today, we keep rocking with a mettlesome medley of Wind…
Link is an icon among gaming legends. He is portrayed as the embodiment of strength and courage, and because of this is loved and admired by many. Each incarnation of the hero brings a new aspect to the character, highlighting different attributes of his good nature. However, what I like in particular about Hyrule Warriors‘s…
