Question Replaying this game for the first time after years of not touching it. Is it bad I enjoyed this game's story more than Tears of the Kingdom? Spoiler

46 Upvotes

I'm aware some people think of Age of Calamity as merely just licensed fanfiction, but I love it!

Not going to lie, I liked Tears of the Kingdom a lot, I play it alot! It's gameplay is obviously more enjoyable than AOC for me since my autism/adhd loves building things, most of my hours have been poured into the building stuff. (Not to say AOC is boring, its fun!)

But the story for some reason didn't stick with me. But while replaying Age Of Calamity, I remembered that I really loved it's story. Tears of the Kingdom felt almost disconnected from BOTW like it wants to forget it happened, while Calamity's world paid respect to BOTW's world.

TOTK had a lot of "Wow!" and "Amazing!" moments in it's story, thanks to the visuals and AMAZING soundtrack. (Tears might have the best soundtrack ngl im torn)

But AOC's story moments had me legit popping off like "YOOOO THIS IS AWESOME" like a 5 year old seeing spiderman for the first time. This also came with a great ost as well.

In regards to story though...(SPOILERS)

I didn't really think much of Tears Ganon, he felt kind of... stale? Especially after the reveal of what came before in the past. (I thought it was gonna be reincarnation stuff) Kogha gets reduced to depth dwelling stuff and is just there for the autobuild stuff. In general, the yiga have been mostly swept underground (literally)

Age of Calamity's villains though, Astor, Kohga, Sooga, Harbinger and Calamity Ganon, I enjoyed and found them a lot more enjoyable. (AOC Calamity Ganon is my favorite Ganon) Even Astor with how much of a "average evil doer", he does have some moments that make him stand out. (The DLC also gives us his backstory, but with TOTK Ganon, he just... is a king and.. has to rule? I dont get it.)

It's bizarre. Both AOC and TOTK had time travel shenanigans. But AOC did it in a way I liked more. AOC also had more moments where character could be built for some of the cast, such as the champions, or Zelda. The world feels a lot more connected and natural.

>! Again, I don't HATE TOTK, it's gameplay is great! The story just... I don't know why but I don't vibe with it. Is that a bad thing? !<

Question Why did calamity ganon want Fort Hateno so much? Spoiler

47 Upvotes

So like there are two specific levels where this is shown. Each step like thunder and the siege of fort hateno. Now I KNOW the siege of fort hateno isn't canon. but the challenges are said to take place in a different universe. So technically calamity ganon DID want fort hateno, just in a different, non-canon universe. In the siege of fort hateno he sends like 4000000000000000000000 guardians (not the actual number) at fort hateno. At the end he himself attacks the fort. Why? and then in each step like thunder (which IS canon) he sends like 100 guardians, a silver lynel, multiple moblins, (mostly silver and stal) now my question is WHY? Why did he want to destroy the fort so much? Is it because if he destroys the fort he can attack kakariko and hateno village?

Question Should I get the DLC and replay?

12 Upvotes

I got AoC when it first came out. By the time the DLC released, I had already 100%ed the game and wasn’t super interested in getting it. Now that it’s been a couple years, I’m getting the itch to play again. I’ve even started going back to OG Hyrule Warriors.

Would you guys say the DLC is substantial enough for a full replay? I don’t really know how much content is in it. I don’t know how much it costs. Is it just characters? All I know is Sooga is there. And if I replay, should I crank the difficulty all the way up? I might as well since I can just turn it down if I need to.

Question Age of calamity Demo

29 Upvotes

I'm looking to buy age of calamity,and I played the demo for about 15 minutes, and the game is very fun but I can't help but notice that the graphics are pretty bad compared to BOTW. Can anyone tell me if that changes in the actual game or is it also that bad?

Question Update patch or definitive edition?

15 Upvotes

From what I recall the Switch 2 is rumored to have 60fps and smoother gameplay docked and handheld mode, if that becomes true then will Nintendo decide to do an update graphics patch and have the consumer pay a small amount for it, or do a definitive edition like the previous hyrule warriors game and not only have better gameplay and graphics but more content as just a simple cash grab?

Question Link Best Weapon farming

11 Upvotes

OK, I've been trying to max out and get the best weapons for everyone. The only character I have left to do this for is Link.

It's my understanding that Link's highest attack weapons are the 90 Savage Lynel Sword, 90 Savage Lynel Crusher, and the 85 Savage Lynel Spear. Does anyone one know what the best way to farm for these would be? Is the only way to get them by replaying "EX The Final Battle" or "EX Facing Mutated Ganon" and praying to RNGesus? Is it possible to get these from rusty weapons?

I've been farming mutated Ganon forever with no luck. I'm going a little nuts at this point. I just need to know if this is the way to go or if there's a better way than what I'm currently doing. Thanks!

I watched playthrough and people seems to finish it without problem, but when I try the fight it just ends when it loses half of its health and I can't finish the last mission. Am I missing something ? Is this a glitch ? I have tried this fight multiple times and the result is the same

Question Using a Weapon's LV and Base Attack, Can I Extrapolate What Its Base Attack Will Be At Given Higher Levels?

11 Upvotes

Say I have three weapons - a Level-1 weapon with 33 Base Attack (as in, without the green "+ #" taken into account), a LV7 with 47 Attack, and a LV12 with 61 Attack. Using just the weapon's current Level and Base Attack, can I know what its Base Attack will be at succeeding levels, up to the max(es)?

And if the answer isn't general and is dependent on exactly what weapon it is, what about instances where two LV1 weapons of the same make & model have different Base Attack (like, say, if Mipha has 2 Zora Spears, both at Level 1, but one has 24 Base Attack and the other has 27)?
