[S2] Ep. 23 - Explaining Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a game that occurs following an apocalyptic event known as the Great Calamity, a disastrous phenomena that decimated populations, one caused by a powerful entity known as Calamity Ganon. A premise built from the failures of heroes 100 years prior, what if things had played out differently? How would things be different if that was the case? Was there a chance of beating Calamity Ganon in the first place? Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity provides answers to these questions as a spin-off prequel to Breath of the Wild; tune in to hear about what this game has to offer and a whole lot more!
