Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a musou style game, and the spiritual successor to the original Hyrule Warriors. The game has proven to be a hit, selling over 3.5 million copies last year alone, making it one of the most successful musou games ever. The game acts as a prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, taking place 100 years before the RPG. It allows gamers to experience the Calamity, and see how the world came to be by the start of Breath of the Wild.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is available now for the Nintendo Switch.
