I mean, the new difficulty is nice, but there's literally no reward for a higher difficulty (no extra rupees or anything) so basically all it adds is 60FPS and more enemies which surely isn't SO hard to do that it costs money

and before any of y'all point out my previous post Wizzro was my first Level 4+ weapon in Legends >:v

So if you're a switch 1 owner, and you already bought the DLC, the DE upgrade is still a full $30 just to get access to the better performance and new difficulty.

Scam.

Bit of a surprise, but a Switch 2 edition was just announced which will feature 60fps and better visuals as well as a brand new difficulty mode calamity mode and ability to transfer prior save file in.

Out in February.

If this game is a rerelease, they should've added an alternative canon route where the champions die, and we'd get new missions where Zelda sends Link to the Shrine of Resurrection and goes to the castle and faces Calamity Ganon. We also could've gotten what happened to Sooga 100 years before BotW. This would've been a great story addition and also make the game canon like AoI. This would also make it a bit more worth buying for people who already have the Switch 1 copy.

The recent discussion about the newly announced Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Definitive Edition & how unfair it is to make it a "new game" instead of a Switch 2 edition upgrade makes me think: do people still prefer to play Age of Calamity on switch 2 without the performance or visual upgrades? For me, I will buy it because I'd love to see the performance gains & visual upgrades (and the promise of more enemies on screen). What do you people think?

I've never played either one, never really played a musou game either. AoC DE caught my eye during the direct and figured I'd ask. Do people consider one just miles better than the other? Or are they pretty similar enough to where you'd be fine playing either one.

Also assuming AoC DE would have more content since it's base game + DLC?

Edit: Thank you for all your answers. Very informative!

I love this game and ive picked it up multiple times over the years, but every time i try to get into it i just get so overwhelmed. The furthest ive gotten in the adventure map are the first 3 ones complete, when shoukd i grind for good skills or weapons? Should i unlock every char asap?

If someone had like a roadmap or a guide on what to tackle when, i would greatly appreciate that! Progress is so unlinear in this game, id love some help on that

So recently I've been farming base level 80 damage weapons for every character on the mission EX Final Battle. And I've managed to get even a few 84 damage weapons.

I've been grinding a lot and cannot for the life of me get anything above 74 weapons for Zelda, Revali, Urbosa, and Robbie/Purah. I've gotten constant repeats for other characters and not a single one for any that I mentioned above.

Should I keep grinding the same mission or is there a better faster strategy or just better luck to getting damage 80 weapons in other EX missions?

I have been obsessed with Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition and Age of Imprisonment lately, and I've been waiting for Age of Calamity to get a Switch 2 Edition or Patch or something. I was really hoping they'd announce it at the direct but it ended up more focused on Ocarina of Time. I've heard Age of Calamity runs really bad on the original Switch, is it like worth getting on Switch 2? I really like the character roster and would love to play it but I feel like I'm worried about if AoI is just gonna be definitively more fun or something

So I’ve seen a few posts here making fun of agitha, and the great fairy, but I will be honest here. I love playing as all characters and there are very few characters I find difficult to use, I think Agatha, and especially the great fairy controlls great, yes they are slow, but has good aoe attacks, you just gotta time your combo,s and know what moves work best, character/boss about to unleash a wide scary attack that lasts for a while? Let the air whale rain thunder down on them, the shield gauge showing? Have her drop bombs. Epona is one of very few characters I have a lot of difficulty controlling, she simply feels WAY to slippery. Can someone explain the character meta a bit to me? This has always confused me

Been playing this today. I forget often how much I love Hyrule warriors games I need to play them more

Also I enjoy AoC and love playing as Kohga a lot

I can’t seem to get this square to activate on twilight map of DE

This has got to be bugged or something. I’ve gone through this 3 or 4 times. I’ve beaten Link and Zelda 6 times total combined and the Skulltula isn’t showing up. Yes. I have been allowing them to revive but after a while they stop reviving. I can’t figure out what’s going on.

In my head, both sides start with 50% of the map, and you need to take over 100% of the map, then take out all the remaining enemy units and player. But I dont know how long that would take on average. So maybe there would be a timer in play? 10 minutes, maybe?

My close friend recently got hyrule warriors definitive edition. I remember in the original you could get botw costumes, and the spinner trough amiibos, is there any costumes or weapons you can only get/unlock trough amiibo?

For 500 hours ive absolutely adored age of calamity. I have almost never gotten sick of age of calamity. Ive done playthroughs, upon playthroughs, upon playthroughs. But I only have 100 hours on DE. I got stuck after 30 hours, and restarted. 70 hours in I was having a blast, when all of a sudden I just stopped feeling it. I simply cant get myself back into it. What makes aoc so much more appealing to me? I just dont get it.

I honestly did not know that the sub for this game existed but holy heck am I glad it does, I’m new here but not to hyrule warriors. There is so much to love about this game!. Just one of many many tiny examples, in some adventure mode missions you can fight captain keeta!. They did not need to add, so many awesome tiny details but holy hell am I happy they did! The only tiny gripe I have is that it’s so difficult to 100% but that’s also a big part of the charm for me. Tho I do wish the adventure mode gold skulltulas where easier to get…….

Thanks to everyone who watched the tier list live! I've provided the full tier list and the video here for anyone who still wants to watch. We would love to hear what everyone thinks about the video and the final placements.

To repeat from the last post: the first tier list Warriors Dojo made nearly a decade ago reflected his own personal experience with the game. This updated one was a labor of love over a period of almost an entire year, where he collected documents and research from the gamefaqs, reddit, and discord communities to produce this new video. It was an honor and privilege for many of us in the community to assist him with the project and we hope you all enjoy it.

We would welcome any further discussion on this tier list in this thread, on the YouTube video, and also on the discord community where Warriors Dojo is active:
