Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Expansion Pass Wave 1 - Pulse of the Ancients 

Yes, but counterpoint. *piano of doom intensifies... for the enemy.*

Most likely closer in playstyle to the Great Fairies where they want to keep distance and attack from afar. I forgot how close the release was so at least we'll find out very soon.

Guardian vs. Guardian 1v1 is possible lol

It'll probably be like Ganon's Fury in Legends

NO DODGE. ONLY TANK.

A REAL Guardian!

lmao

That’s Terrako after he hit puberty

@@Eremite651 xD misherd I thought

I still need to unlock him.

My heart sunk when I saw that lol. Was very glad Breath of the Wild 2 was shown.

@@TheArtunism yeah these people

@@forestant3547 don't be rude of meaningless things

made sense, that it would be zelda to be using the sheika items when she is still around, unlike botw where link has it in her absence

@@diegocortez270 In botw 2 the powers of the slate are in his arm now.

Lighting on that guardian looks like my modded breath of the wild

@@HeroC14 well yeah I just meant during AoC. I am wondering though, isnt the master cycle supposed to be Links Divine Beast?

I love that Persona 5 reference

@@dew7350 Ganon can do it too, and he's a giant Malice-Gerudo-thing...

It said wave 1 so maybe they will join in wave 2?

Dude, me too!!!

They are on the art for the DLC.. there’s no way they aren’t getting added.

There is still a chance, they didn't show everything mentioned in the last dlc announcement. This could mean 3 characters for the first wave. Then what three may we get in wave 2?

@@ninjalex9791 If I had to guess, three characters per wave to make it even. Wave 1: Purah, Robbie, Guardian Wave 2: Astor, Sooga, Harbinger Ganon(?) I feel as if one wave will be focused on heroes and one will be focused on villains.

Not really, the Master Cycle Zero should have stayed exclusively to Link only. It's his own divine beast for crying out loud. But other than that, the DLC looks real sick and incredible.

@@user-xk3om2zh2q Thank you! exactly what I thought when I first saw it

True. She is a heart of gold

@@Bennie930 Ah ok, thank you, dude. Glad I'm not the only one with that thought to come to mind the moment I saw that part.

Hm

Low key more excited to swing some guardian legs around

ngl i totally wanted to play as a guardian. its like the boss mode from regular hyrule warriors

I tried so hard to play as a guardian that year only to discover it was a joke

@@ill_luck same

@@furlan1743 it was a waste of an ancient core that I’d been hunting for a long time, and when I made the “key”, it turned out to be a joke and it was just dubious food (thank god I had a save).

this comment is underrated.

To quote Captain Keyes: Time for a little payback!

It’ll definitely be interesting fighting guardians as a guardian

😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@megaman37456 finally. A halo fan.

I mean, we had Terrako, but… it just wasn't the same

i was expecting one originally in the game in 2020 but dlc i'll never be bothered to get is good

@@anone.mousse674 Terrako's more like those little Guardian Scouts in comparison to this full-sized Guardian.

A SURPRISE TO BE SURE, BUT A WELCOME ONE!!!

@@jimbodeek Basically JUST a little guardian scout. Not hating on terrako, but everything from the quick fire lasers but also the big charge one, as well as the ancient weapons, is extremely similar to them.

A double bladed guardian sword would be cool too

@@rasmusrasmusson7176 Maybe that will be a better version of the weapon. Each weapon type has a bunch of different versions.

Claw-chuks

Link looked like maul for a second

I know you're making a joke, but the game is not a prequel. A prequel has to actually precede the events of the established story (BOTW in this case), and alternate-timeline stories don't precede those events.

@@matthewmuir8884 we don't yet know if botw will take age of calamity into consideration. It could very well be a sequel to the new timeline of events, or possibly (if we are lucky) will tie the events of both stories together. I like the idea of getting more time with the champions. I actually think as a direct sequel to botw it would need to do something crazy to be interesting, as everyone is mostly dead in that timeline.

@@rikux27 I honestly would prefer if BOTW2 never so much as references Age of Calamity at any point, except maybe as DLC that I then wouldn't want to buy. There are a ton of interesting things they could do to continue from BOTW, and there are plenty of alive people; we don't need the champions brought back to life by a tin Humpty Dumpty that was Koei Tecmo's OC do-not-steal character. Now, if Age of Calamity had actually been a prequel like what was advertised, I would've been all for little references and such. But that's beside the point and I wouldn't have seen such references as necessary.

@@matthewmuir8884 Everyone: complained that a prequel to botw was pointless because we knew what was going to happen at the end Also everyone: complained that age of calamity wasn't a direct prequel to botw, because it was too different. Nintendo literally can't get a win here. Everyone has their own taste of course. But I actually liked the age of calamity story.

@@rikux27 That's not true at all. Go back to the top comments of the announcement video and the first couple trailers and you'll see it flooded with people being *hyped* that the game was (supposedly) a prequel to BOTW. No one was saying an actual prequel would've been pointless, and in fact, many were making funny references to games like Halo Reach, Final Fantasy Crisis Core and Torna: the Golden Country: prequel games that received widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike. Incidentally, Halo Reach in particular literally had, "from the beginning, you know how it ends" as its tagline. Knowing how a story ends doesn't make it pointless. People only started saying an actual prequel would've been pointless _after_ the game released, as a way to dismiss criticism of the false-advertising. Also, the main reason that people complained about the game not being a direct prequel is that the game was advertised as being a direct prequel. They were upset at the false advertising. Nintendo could've won if they had either been honest about what the game was or if they and Koei Tecmo had actually made a prequel. You like Age of Calamity's plot? Good for you; I wouldn't want to take that away from you. But don't be so dismissive about the people that didn't like it. Please understand why I, someone who was hyped for an actual prequel, would want any references to Age of Calamity in BOTW2 to be optional DLC at most.

I mean, it technically was. BOTW 2 just got a new teaser. No new announcement

@@rolandodr9834 we at least got a release date for it tho!

@@woahjuice. which probably will be pushed back

@@rolandodr9834 and that’s a bad thing because ?

@@Taker369 I never said it was a bad thing. Just that Nintendo technically wasn't wrong (in terms of content announcement)

i played the whole game in very hard ever since the original demo so honestly idk whether to be excited for more difficulty or terrified

Are you joking? Been doing that Spence the demo haha... 65 hours I’ve spent on that game

@@greenhairedswordsman5197 Took me 80 hours to do all the missions on very hard lol

Normal difficulty is already too hard for me in some levels

@@fettacheeze the hardest level I think is each step like thunder just all the bosses and mini bosses made it pretty hard to manage health in very hard practically was on a half heart on every character

I wish

But they did????

@@Umbrella2.2 it’s link not zelda…

I wish lol

They might add her in there in a later update,because they did the same with botw link long after the botw expansion came out completely

I mean, the Master Cycle Zero is summoned with the Sheikah Slate, so whoever gets the slate also gets the cycle.

@@DaSheepKiller yeah but it is also technically links devine beast it's more convenient to put the cycle as a rune

@@DaSheepKiller it's just a joke my dude 😃

@@DaSheepKiller it’s not that serious

oh no

Oh god…time to struggle in fiercest of foes again

@@SkywardSquittle indeed it is😞

1 frames per second difficulty level where you have to fight ten malice lynels and 100 moblins at once.

Looks like these will be for Wave 2

This wave adds extra challenges, while it seems like wave 2 will include full-on levels(which I theorize will go over the events of botw's Calamity)

@@Dr.Pootis That would be really cool

@@Dr.Pootis I think guardians of remembrance is probably going to be the biggest DLC patch

And Playable Characters....

So darn right! 🤣

How about “Very Easy”

@@deulalune When all enemies are untrained and weaklings. 😛

Cause Zelda has the Sheikah slate and the Master Cycle is a rune on the Sheikah slate

@@yodagaming1624 That... makes a lot of sense

Yeah, I think they are some of the ‘tougher’ enemies, along with the bomb moblin and giant Chuchu. I just hope they are all easy to come across!

The release date they had was a place holder date. Just like the November DLC has one and when it gets closer to launch the actual date will be released

Did they change the date? For some reason I thought it was coming out on June the 30th

@@colton.421 I was also pretty surprised, but thinking about it now, June 30'th was probably just a placeholder date, given most other placeholder dates are put at the end of a month.

I actually wanted the bike to be in there,but I thought it to be computer controlled and go on its own. I didn’t expect Zelda to be driving it,but I have no complaints

That already exists as a bundle on the eshop.

Same, but when I started thinking in my head after the Guardian became a playable character, I notice that I'm forgetting something. Because of this, in the original Hyrule Warriors on Wii U; Cia, Volga, and Wizzro were unplayable characters when the game first came out, but later in few months or next year later, they became free DLC playable characters. In Age of Calamity, same thing for Purah, Robbie, Sooga, Astor, and Harbinger Ganon that are unplayable. I'm pretty sure for my thought that all 5 of them will become free DLC playable characters, before or after Wave 2 release, or next year in 2022.

@@Cosmic76Guardian Thats a possibility and I hope your right. If not hopefully at least 2 of them come in wave 2

@@tschro6539 good to know

Honestly I'd expect if there's enough demand we'll see more DLC packs with playable monsters. However a playable guardian makes sense cannonically, since well they were good before the Calamity, think of it like the Clone Troopers but as Robotic Octopi.
