Daily Debate: Will Age of Calamity Be Referenced in Tears of the Kingdom?
Posted on March 26 2023 by Chakell Herbert
Having recently played through Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, and with the hype surrounding Tears of the Kingdom being less than two months away, I have been wondering how Age of Calamity might connect to this much-anticipated sequel. Seeing that the new Champions from Breath of the Wild returned back to their apocalyptic world at the end of the battle with Calamity Ganon in Age of Calamity, I have wondered if they will mention the time they spent helping Link and Princess Zelda prevent the apocalypse in an alternate timeline. Having Teba, Sidon, Yunobo, or Riju mention or even imply their involvement with Terrako’s time travelling ability might be a cool little Easter egg in Tears of the Kingdom.
Who knows? Maybe we will be lucky enough to see these three games connect to each other even more! Seeing that they all share the same universe and characters, I would love to see some acknowledgement or nod to that victorious adventure of what could have been if things had gone as planned. Only time will tell!
What do you think? Did you enjoy Age of Calamity? Do you want the Champions to mention their time spent on an alternate timeline? Let me know in the comments!
