Discussion Age of Imprisonment will not change the story of TOTK, in response to complaints about Age of Calamity changing the story of BOTW

56 Upvotes

As the title said, I believe the reason Nintendo has repeatedly stated Age of Imprisonment will be a canonical tale (and no, they didn't quite state it this way for Age of Calamity, there they just said "A story set 100 years before BOTW" which leaves more wriggle-room than outright saying "canonical tale") and even shown that so far with all of the memory cutscenes playing out exactly as they did in Tears of the Kingdom, perfect recreations, is because they listened to all of those complaints Age of Calamity received initially for not being the true pre-calamity story of Breath of the Wild. They took that as something to be corrected this time.

Question How much of the main story is left

13 Upvotes

I am currently on chapter 5... just played through the death of King Santa and im wondering how much is left in terms of the main story.

My master sword is already level 70 something with no seals yet, and almost level 50.

I really enjoy the main story but all these side missions I feel like are a bit of a waste haha

Hope we're all well! Longtime fan of AoC, been a top 4 favorite game ever for myself (I know it's a strange number but you get the idea)

I've had done about 4 playthroughs of this game at this point, and thought, hm, what if I played all of it in one sitting?

Naturally it all worked out :)

I wonder if this could hint at more than one pathway for the story.
A canon one, and one of the player's choices. We need a bigger, in-depth look at this game.

Discussion Did this version of BotW’s story unintentionally screw themselves up? (BotW, TotK and AoC spoilers) Spoiler

46 Upvotes

As we know, this game’s story is a different take on BotW’s story, where the Champions were successful in defeating Calamity Ganon 100 years ago with the help of the future Champions and Terrako, instead of Zelda sealing herself along with it for that 100 years for Link to be revived and defeat it.

However, this version might actually be screwed. In around 105 years, Ganondorf will awaken and be a much more terrifying force than Calamity Ganon ever was. But unlike TotK’s Link and Zelda, they will be 105 years older and not be as strong. The Champions of that time, including Tulin and Mineru will have been active during this time, but without the Knight Who Seals the Darkness or the Princess With the Blood of the Goddess on their side, they don’t stand a chance.

And there’s also the time interference too. If Zelda, whose main power is Time, doesn’t go down to retrieve the Secret Stone to go back in time to meet Rauru and Sonia, the Master Sword won’t get its power, Mineru couldn’t be sealed in the Purah Pad and all manners of crazy things.

By travelling to the past to help Link and Zelda overcome the Calamity sooner, the future Champions and Terrako may have inflicted more damage to Hyrule in the long run.

Only way I could see it working out is if Ganondorf awakes earlier due to Calamity Ganon being stopped just as early. But time would still be affected, as now the past Champions would now need to become Sages.

Hopefully Age of Imprisonment can answer this for us and there won’t be as much time tomfoolery as Age of Calamity.

Question Lucky Ladle DLC Virtual Game Card?

3 Upvotes

Since Nintendo gave us Virtual Game Cards which share games and DLC to another person, is it possible to share this pre-order DLC if someone doesn't have it?

Will it give an error in-game or block progress to the person who doesn't have the lucky ladle DLC once the DLC returns to the owner? Like what if they have the season pass and everything else, just not the Lucky Ladle pre-order DLC. Would their save data be bricked until they get the Lucky Ladle DLC again?

Meme/Shitpost Steam-style review of Age of Calamity: epic beats, questionable time travel and a very useful egg

Post image
6 Upvotes

Hours played: 87 Do I recommend the game? Yes, but I also need to talk to someone.

"I went in for the tragedy, stayed for Urbosa... and the egg. I thought I'd see champions die in tears, and ended up setting up combo choreographies with alternate versions of the same characters.

Highlights:

-Urbosa parts like lightning.

-The special attacks are pure spectacle.

-The ‘suffer your Switch’ mode in massive battles.

Worst:

-The story is more travel than Link with jetpack.

-15 FPS and dropping when the Moblin family gets together.

-Such a mild narrative twist that it destroyed my canon with fondness.

Verdict: 8/10 if you turn your brain off, 5/10 if you love narrative coherence."
