Daily Debate: Which Enemy in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Do You Wish Was Playable?

*This article contains spoilers for Age of Calamity‘s playable characters!*

When Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity was announced, I expected its roster to be significantly narrower in scope than that of its predecessor. I figured we’d play as only a few characters beyond Link, Zelda, and the Champions, given how the game was touted as an honest-to-goodness Breath of the Wild prequel. Fortunately — from a gameplay perspective, at least — Age of Calamity ended up being just as bombastic and fan-service-laden as the best Musou games. Having taken full advantage of its source material, the game left little to be desired in terms of its playable warriors.

However, when I look at the game’s bevy of baddies, I can’t help but wonder what it’d be like to play as some of them. Setting aside plot-relevant foes such as Astor and Sooga, I can think of a few generic enemy types that would make for worthy additions to the game’s roster. Specifically, after all the trouble they’ve put us through, it’s high time we took control of a Lynel. Their terrifyingly destructive arsenal, coupled with their exceptional speed, feel tailor-made for Age of Calamity‘s frenetic, larger-than-life scenarios.

What about you, though? Which of the game’s enemy types would you most like to see repurposed as a playable character? What unique abilities would you give them? Let us know in the comments below!
