Zelda fans, get ready to travel back 100 years before the events of Breath of the Wild, to the time before the Great Calamity.
There’s a new Legend of Zelda game heading to the Nintendo Switch in November and, while this Hyrule Warriors adventure isn’t the highly anticipated Breath of the Wild sequel, it will be packed with adventure and a lot of familiar Zelda components.
In Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, players will fight battles in Hyrule locations and play as recognizable characters including Link, Zelda, and the four Champions (who will be playable for the first time in the Hyrule Warriors series).
There will also be local co-op multiplayer options, cutscenes that give new background on characters including Zelda and the King of Hyrule, and — of course — hundreds of formidable foes. The intense action gameplay will be familiar to fans of the Hyrule Warriors and Fire Emblem Warriors games. However, the gameplay also includes environmental puzzles and tasks such as unlocking weapons and skills, crafting materials, and visiting shops to obtain items.
The game is set to debut on Nov. 20, and the digital version is available to preorder now for $59.99. Preorder the game, and you’ll get a bonus in-game item: the Lucky Ladle.
