they're hot in fact they're so hot that even kim and i don't have one yet because they only went up today just buy it all right cool thanks bye are you gonna get up or what really because it's been almost two weeks and you still haven't reviewed that new zelda game whatever i don't really even like zelda that much anyway oh really all right point taken hyrule warriors is complicated it's a prequel to breath of the wild but in a completely different genre of video game it is canon to the new story of lincoln zelda but it also completely changes everything we learned in breath of the wild every zelda fan worth their salt should absolutely adore the story presented within age of calamity however i wouldn't blame any hardcore zelda fan for not enjoying the hack and slash micromanagement styler gameplay we've never seen in the main series before now i'm not counting the 2014 hyrule warriors as that game didn't tie into any canon zelda story it was a standalone spin-off that quickly became one of the best-selling games on the wii u are we what the heck is a wii u so it's no surprise that the breath of the wild's director approached kobe tecmo with the idea to make a new hyrule warriors about the events of the great calamity which was not shown properly in breath of the wild kowi worked closely with nintendo on the gameplay graphics world and dialogue even sharing the original breath of the wild assets and art to create a game that felt authentic within the universe and they did just that now i'm not sure whose idea it was to take an egg put legs on it and make it a main character of the game but you know whoever that was i love you good job all right team this is the first age of calamity new character ideas meeting yeah excited to be here good morning it's uh it's 9 00 pm greg but thank you thank you for being here with us yeah okay well first thing on the agenda everyone now i know you all already know we're all very excited that nintendo wants us to come up with a new character for the zelda universe okay this is a big deal this character's gonna be sort of the savior of the world the other hero of the game a time traveler yeah a pretty cool guy or gal so uh who has ideas hey yes yes greg this thing yep that's that's just an egg yeah you think nintendo is gonna want the new main hero of their story to be an egg yes all right does anyone else have any other ideas i thought this video would be easy to make spoiler free because for the most part we've all already seen how this game ends in breath of the wild flashbacks right but as it turns out we're going to be dodging a ton of spoilers hey no spoilers i can't no no no no no no i'm not i wouldn't leave i'll leave right now if you're doing spoilers i'll click off the video dude relax every time i am going to be dodging a ton of spoilers here if you felt like you didn't have enough story in the first game worry no more there is so much here and it's amazing it's a fairly long game and before and after every main mission there's a big stimulating chunk of the story encouraging you to play one more chapter and one more chapter just to see what happens next each part is wonderfully animated structured voice acted and at times action-packed with a load of incredibly choreographed fight sequences heart-stopping twists and the occasional light-hearted fun all up if you take just the cut scenes and splice them together you're looking at what amounts to a two-hour long zelda movie and a good one never before have we had this much backstory and lore in a zelda series i would say it's the one thing that's always been missing from zelda games not that zelda has ever needed a huge story to be enjoyable but oh boy if it doesn't add so much to an already incredible experience what about the gameplay it kind of it doesn't really look like zelda it can't yeah yeah yeah i'm getting to it look this story i can't stop fixating on what it means for breath of the wild too heck what it means for zelda as a franchise and the complete inner zelda nerd needs to get it all off my chest at the end of this video we're gonna be talking about some sport hey no spoilers yes okay all right dynasty warriors let's just move along dynasty warriors a series of games nine installments long first released in 1997. for some reason i don't know why at some point during the height of their popularity they started pumping out spin-off title set and other franchises but utilizing the core dynasty warriors gameplay premise of his 10 000 enemies good luck it's kind of like when pop-tarts got so popular they put master chief on the box except actually not like that at all we saw one piece fire emblem even persona getting their own versions and now of course zelda each mission plays out in a somewhat modified section of the original breath of the wild world you just start wailing on any enemy that gets in your way racking up hundreds of kos like mike tyson if mike tyson was a little elf boy you have light and heavy attacks you can string together as well as bombs stasis magnesius and freezy freeze the best part is that there's like a bazillion playable and unlockable characters each with extremely different movesets literally no two characters feel the same at all each character could perform weak point and special attacks for a devastating damage link is by far the most versatile character as you can discover tons of different weapons from swords to spears and boomerangs and more drastically changing his gameplay style but everybody has their favorite my favorite is a spoiler and i can't talk about it don't i won't okay at this point i know what you're thinking wood it's getting pretty late i should probably order uber eats before all the restaurants close near me also is that all there is to the gameplay and to that i have to say consider getting wings because wing restaurants are usually open later than other places but also now there's a ton more to the gameplay look so again each mission is set in a different location and if you glance at your map you'll usually see multiple mission goals as well as enemy and friendly bases and more you need to keep an eye on the battlefield at all times making sure your allied units don't need any help or just checking in with where your other characters are as most of the time you can have up to four playable characters running around the map the cool part is that you can switch between them on the fly instantly gaining control over them wherever they are you can even micromanage them telling them where to go on the map if someone needs help or if you want to move them to the next mission goal ahead of time or bring them over to you if you need extra help taking down a boss it's no shame in that some of them get pretty hard when you get into the flow of controlling the battlefield it can be an extremely rewarding experience and gives you more to think about than just wailing on the next souped-up lionel honestly with this story being what it is a huge war inside hyrule i don't think the traditional zelda gameplay could really have done the story justice the ability to have these characters slash through hundreds of enemies on a living breathing ecosystem of a battlefield really adds something to the story in a way that only a dynasty warrior style game could alright team uh why are we all back here again oh yeah it's uh it's an emergency meeting oh it oh what's what's going on ah so i'm writing the script for this video right now and uh yeah i i have nothing funny for this part of the video so we have to think of a funny skit or gag to put here no no no no this is the skit this this this is this this isn't funny well i i never said it was funny oh man oh greg i broke my egg all right that was pretty funny yeah i i wrote that that's so gross there is one other element to this game that makes it so addicting between missions you find yourself staring at the map of hyrule as you play through the story it will unlock more and more icons on the map for you to interact with these can range from side missions character upgrades shop to buy supplies or parts recipes to aid you in battle a blacksmith to upgrade your weapons by merging them with other weapons and so much more it seems never ending and by endgame this map is lit up like a christmas tree but there's something so rewarding about checking these icons off the list and turning them blue you get rewarded the more you complete with huge supply bonuses hidden items or levels and even outfits for link and sometimes a new character each icon will need specific parts or supplies to unlock it so if you want that hot new upgrade for link you'll have to figure out what you're missing and then check the missions on the map for their rewards and see if it's what you need this encourages you to play or replay missions over and over again i hate to sound like a broken record here but just judging by the pacing of the video and the fact that you've talked about most of the get it feels like we're getting close to s-p-o-i-l-e-r-s yeah i do need to do this now because it's ju it's just too freaking cool not to talk about here's your warning skip to this part of the video if you want to avoid old i know it i know it i know it yes spoilers get go go go here all right good he's gone so screw it i'll hear him but i'm about to give away the ending of the game you've been crying about this the whole video yeah i mean i probably won't even play the game i'll just watch the cutscenes online or something you are literally the worst kind of person okay all right so time travel look i i'ma say it i was right i think kind of maybe i've been saying it for years that breath of the wild 2 will have a much darker tone kind of like how ocarina of time was a fun light-hearted adventure but then majira's mask became super dark my first indication that i may have been right was when the breath of the wild 2 teaser trailer released it clearly has a very dark tone but now we're seeing time travel reintroduced into the zelda franchise just like in majira's mask that primarily dealt with time loops coincidence i think not so in breath of the wild we weren't told much about what happened during the war of calamity but we knew how it ended they lost everyone including link died to protect zelda then the calamity raged on for 100 years until link arose from sleepy time age a calamity a prequel starts how you would expect with the incoming threat of calamity gannon and zelda doing her best to stop it however curiously there was a little adorable egg guy who time travel warps in at the start of the story and this is our first sign that something different is happening here without giving too much away everything begins to change with the help of eggbert and more familiar faces who appear from the future in the nick of time all of this extra help eventually leads to hyrule becoming free of gannon age of calamity ends not with war but with peace as our old friends return to their timeline suddenly the future events that took place within breath of the wild seem impossible now as link is very much alive and gannon is not this my friends is where my head starts to spin let's assume that breath of the wild 2 treats this game as canon that would mean that at the end of the first game when we see lincoln's elders set out on a new adventure they must be setting out in hopes of finding a way to stop the calamity from ever happening in the first place which makes sense because think about it sure we all helped stop gannon at the end of breath of the wild but that was after 100 long years of corruption the land of hyrule had become a barren wasteland of the fallen population with very few survivors it would make sense that zelda would want to find a way to change what she had failed at so egbert or tarako adorable i want like a little robot bb-8 version of him like remote control so dereko who we all know was built by zelda is sent back in time with the keys to help defeat gannon a device that ultimately saves her father the light that helps restore the divine beasts and the key to sealing away ganon all things they didn't have without terracotta also the friends that link made on his adventure through breath of the wild were sent back to help their ancestors and family either during the events of breath of the wild 2 or in between the two games lincoln zelda must have succeeded in finding a way to visit the past restoring hyrule to its former glory and here's another reason why that would be a great idea for the sequel one of the biggest complaints that people had about breath of the wild was that the map was barren without many people or towns to visit and a lot of that was due to the calamity how do you fix that in a sequel that is set directly after the last game how do you put in new towns or bring people back to life by stopping the calamity ever happening in the first place it would give players a whole new hyrule to explore or maybe nintendo will just ignore agent calamity and do their own thing who knows dude you just blew my freaking mind right so zelda was actually master chief all along what no you aren't listening at all oh hyrule warrior's age of calamity could very well have just changed the zelda franchise forever but also changing the way we experience zelda games with this huge animated voice acted cut scenes that expand across two hours of storytelling i would be surprised at this point if we were to go into breath of the wild 2 and only receive snippets of the story like we did in the first we know these characters now we know their backstories their ambitions their personalities and we want to learn more we want to see more pyro warriors age of calamity did something i thought was impossible it somehow made me even more excited for zelda gameplay-wise it might not be for every zelda fan but story-wise it's one of the best things us fans have ever been given thanks for watching the video i really appreciate it again if you could check out the new merch links down below and then tweet tweet at both of us when you're wearing it or holding it show us what you bought yeah thanks
