this was the series finale to 30 years of zeldakino that everyone knew and loved before BOTWslop took over the franchise forever
it's kind of sad in that context

It's weird because I was hyped for botw before it released and just never ended up buying it because of performance issues on switch. Then it gets all these glowing reviews and becomes one of the bestselling games of all time. I mean I've played a lot of the older zeldas and while they're fun and I enjoyed them I've never viewed them as this amazing series that pushed gaming forward or anything. It feels like the switch 2 version was explicitly made for me or people like me. I still don't know if the switch 2 version will include the DLC though which honestly was another factor in why I held off on buying botw. I guess I'll wait for more information but I obviously am interested
I despise the art direction in BotW, and I hate how irrelevant Zelda games before it now are.
How is it sad? Hyrule Warriors is fucking great.
making another Age of Calamity time travel slop instead of actual Hyrule Warriors 2
kill me
Sorry, but everything prior to breath of the wild no longer matters.
finally get a switch last year
boot up botw first
play it for a couple hours before slowly realizing genshin was a direct copy with an anime filter
cleared the map over dozens of hours on that Chinese bootleg a couple years ago
feel like I already played a game I never played
havent touched it since
Fuck the chinese for ripping off zelda and ruining it for me
nigga you is dumb as fuck
Fuck the chinese for ripping off zelda
They ripped off BotW though, not Zelda.
Hyrule Warriors itself belabors its own premise and comprises literally every Zelda game that isn't Oracles or Four Swords/Minish Cap (which are made by Capcom)
It's kind of weird because this game's story canonically aligns with what OP is saying. It's basically a timeline convergence that leads to BotW
And I want more of it, not more Age of Calamity
"More of it" is the problem
This game is already like 700 fucking hours on a SPEEDRUN for 100%
Another BOTW warriors is the worst possible scenario. I can’t believe it actually happened. I would have taken anything else, even another Fire Emblem Musou.
canonically
And? I want more of it.
Shez Emblem was actually pretty decent
It's amazing how shit AoC felt in comparison.
I just wanted more HW Zelda celebration, not BotW-only snooze-fests.
Not OP, but it is kinda sad in the sense that it's a 3rd party spinoff title instead of some grand, Nintendo-developed, first party, "traditional Zelda game" sendoff. Obviously, it's also sad if you just don't like musou games, which many people don't.
To be fair, Cia’s timeline convergence helps explain why Botw has contradictory timeline elements in it
the real reason is BOTW doesn't care about the timeline lol
All i wanted was HW2, with the oracles in this time, and moar Cia...
I think it's less that you want more of it and more of the fact that you just want more Zelda universe fan service where different eras interact in one game.
I am so -SICK- of seeing BotW Link and Zelda and Hyrule. And it's all we're ever going to get now
No, I want more of Hyrule Warriors specifically AND I want more Zelda universe fan service where different eras interact in one game.

post your battle themes
AoC2 will be the last of botwverse, this time for sure...
I don’t. Save that shit for fanfiction.net. I much prefer AoC and AoI.
who asked
Age of Calamity was cool at first, but even though I never played a warriors game for the plot, it still felt like we got blue-balled. But I really don’t get why they’re making a 2nd one. People actually liked the four champions in BOTW, they had personalities and character even if we didn’t see them that much. In TOTK I don’t think anyone actually remembers the names of these champions, they’re all wearing masks which just makes them look stupid as fuck and there’s literally nothing going for any of them.
I think that's exactly why they're doing it: 70 dollar Story DLC for the game everybody called a glorified 70 dollar DLC expansion pack.
Did they even have names? i swear i remember them just being Champion of [Area] or something like that. huge fuckin downgrade from Urbosa and Mipha.
I don't really care for key jingling so all that matters with the new one is that it isn't linear slop and is a proper sandbox like DWO
They're probably the namesakes of the Divine Beasts, retconning the "Named after the OoT sages and Medli with mispellings because of old names being lost in translation after 10,000 years" explanation
I love HW so much, but it has too much fucking content. Going to take me a decade to finish it. Even then I still feel like it's missing enough to get a sequel that has all the content of the original packed in.
I just wanted Xenoblade Warriors or HW2. The BOTW/TOTK roster is just lame to me
I love Zelda and I was so excited for BOTW. Played it, loved it, and then tried to replay it after TOTK was first teased. Couldn't make it off the plateau. Tried again-same thing.
save that for facficition.net. I much prefer wattpad
All they had to do was rehash HW1, get rid of the padding and mandatory items for bosses, add more characters and locales and they would have had a winning formula. AoC died as quickly as TotK's discussion did and AoI is looking to suffer the same fate.
I miss old Zelda. Ready to move on from BOTW Zelds
Aol is going to be forgotten as quickly as Echoes of Wisdom was.
AoC died so quickly that it was only the best selling Musou of all time
Veran too along with an oracle map would be so much fun.
"Named after the OoT sages and Medli with mispellings because of old names being lost in translation after 10,000 years" explanation
Was that the actual reason? I remember BotW mentioning Naboris was named after some ancient figure, but wasn't it just fan interpretation that this was specifically referring to OoT's Nabooru?
and nobody talks about it. sales=/=appreciation
Honestly A Link Between Worlds feels pretty fitting as the last proper zelda game
Avatar (not airbender, blue alien people) was the highest grossing film of all time and it left zero cultural impact
when you adjust for inflation its gone with the wind. kino film btw highly recommend
No it doesn't. It literally retcons ALTTP's ending just to tell the same story again.
I despise nu-Zelda and everything it's done to gayming
It's the best Zelda since TP and honestly the only good one in a decade. The series is hot trash now.
Enter basic bitch taste.

smash bros musou could have been cool. im so pissed about aoc2 because hw is legitimately the best musou
Used to be a massive Zelda fan, but BotW killed the franchise for me. It was not a Zelda game and was just boring as fuck. I tried Tears of the Kingdom a while back as well and it was somehow worse. Totally soulless early access survival type games. I miss well designed dungeons and not having to constantly using shitty wooden clubs or rusted swords that break after killing one or two enemies.
Fuck no it isn't, any of the ps2 games blow it out of the water let alone Origins
You will get BOTW Threeie, and you will like it.
I liked BOTW a lot at first but it became clear on my attempted replays that I was blinded by hype and the idea of what could have been. I was legitimately excited for how they would build off of it, but they just made BOTWslop 2.0. Then 2D zelda got overtaken too, coupled with the horrid funko pop visuals. Zelda is dead to me now. Even the spinoffs are just BOTWwank and nothing more. Its so over. I'm cautiously optimistic for Prime 4
Vaati, Saria, Nabooru, Groose, Thunderbird, Linebeck, Twinrova, Yeto, Veran, Onyx, King Moblin, Ashei or the other resistance jobbers, SS pirate robot, Orca, Links Uncle, Beedle. There was so much left to tackle, let alone putting the botw characters in a game that didn't stutter nonstop.
too bad. now you're stuck with goat man, goat girl, and goatburner
I really hope age of calamity gets a performance patch on s2
It’s the only reason I’ve held off despite having like 300 hours across different Hyrule warriors releases
Mineru is fine with me, Violyn and the monster guy with the balloon can come too.
never ever
I don't remember which version of Hyrule Warriors I've played, but it was a fantastic video game. Best musou I've ever played, and I highly endorse it.
Tired of BotW. Gimme HW2.
My wants.
AoL
Horsehead as a playable character, Thunderbird boss, Rebonack captain
aLttP
Agahim character, Uncle Arn as a skin for Link, Bunny Link weapon.

OoT
Saria with deku stick, Nabooru as an Iron Knuckle, Twinrova.

let her be half naked like she normally is, just give her an axe as a weapon option
Sure Nabooru could also have twin scimitars like the prison guards.
hell yeah now we're talking. i used to have a save file copied in the third slot so i could go ogle nabooru before she disappeared
