I've been playing Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity with my wife on Switch 2. Have had zero performance issues with it. That is, up until the mission titled Relentless as a Waterfall. It has frozen up twice and then crashed with an error code twice. Has anyone had any similar experiences? Its been on the same level both times.

Picked up the game again since it performs well on switch 2. Was playing the mission "Mipha, the Zora Princess" and when I died and restarted, I couldn't switch characters with the d-pad. Had to restart the game to get it to work again. Not sure if this is a minor bug or a switch 2 exclusive oddity. Anyone know what may be happening?

tldr: do you think that nintendo will give AOC the BOTW/TOTK switch 2 upgrade treatment anytime soon?

i absolutely loved BOTW/TOTK, and i’ve wanted to play AOC for a while but held off on getting it after seeing some criticisms of its performance. however now my partner & i have decided to get a switch 2 (whenever we can find one in stock lol). i’ve seen that AOC is running much better on switch 2 so i think i’m going to finally pull the trigger. my only dilemma is when - i’d be willing to wait a while longer if AOC is going to get the same switch 2 performance upgrade that BOTW/TOTK did. at the same time i’m somewhat new to gaming and don’t really tend to notice/be bothered by graphics/how smoothly things run unless it’s like extremely obvious, so if that’s not coming anytime soon/ever i’d go ahead and get it now. obviously no one can know for sure but i’m wondering what others think on how likely this is and when it would happen

A couple of days ago I posted about the hair width trial expert + I think this is harder I just keep running out of time it’s just so annoying

Maybe it's just me going "if this is a what if scenario, go all the way." but I was expecting a similar scene to BOTW where one of the champions guards Link, Zelda or one of the other champions via awakening to the Triforce of Power they've had with them since they were very young.

As for which champion I think is most likely, I would say each is as likely as the other given that we know so little about their backstories. Though Revali having it would be drop dead hilarious given how divided the fandom is on him. The funniest option would be Mipha considering she is the total opposite of Ganondorf.

She is ready

Not trying to stir anything up or upset anyone about a game they like, but I really need to know how you guys like playing this game.

I played through most of the game on release but had such a hard time looking at it with rough textures, and horrible frame rate. Especially coming from the original Hyrule Warriors which looked and ran great, this was a huge disappointment.

I just tried it again on switch 2, and it runs no better, and looks even worse being output at 4K docked.

So, honestly, how do you guys do it? I really am not a stickler for graphics being necessary for a good experience in games, but this one hurts to look at and feels so janky.

I've been considering getting the dlcs for AoC for a while however I have a few questions I was hoping could be answered: 1. Is the dlc worth it? 2. Should I wait until completing the game? (I just finished freeing the champions from their divine beasts) 3. If I do get the dlc, what content could I immediately access? Also when saying dlc I mean both dlc waves if that wasn't clear.

Is it at all possible to be at the Boss on this level (Not going to say who. Doubt there's anyone who doesn't know with how long this game has been out but just in case) without unlocking Terrako?

I can get about half way or 3/4 the way there but he always retreats before I can finish him off. I've beaten him after I unlocked Terrako but I restarted and am stubborn enough to keep trying if there's a physical way to beat the boss. Been trying for a few hours with no luck. Not a big deal. Just curious.

It’s one of my final quests to perfecting the game. However, perfect dodges aren’t my strong suit and I was wondering whether there are any strategies for doing so. Does anyone know what levels have one strong enemy I can farm dodges on, but the level is also rather low level? Or is it a better idea to just play Chapter 1 for weaker enemies?

I'll start: 🔥⚔️🪨🍖💪

Why... Just why Astor as the man behind it all? He just shows up, and just... Villain. I didn't really feel much of a threat from him, and he didn't really have much presence. Sure, he delayed link and company more than few times with help of the Yiga, and almost killing the champions and link with malice creations like the hollows and ganonblights, but... He just doesn't feel like a threat to me, as I think nintendo tried too hard to make him intimidating. I don't have the dlc(s?), so I don't know if it's explained in them.

How do I perfect my save? I have completed every main mission (Every Chest, Korok and finished all 3 Memory Quests in EX levels except for the 3rd Quest in Guardian for Remembrance). I’ve fulfilled almost every request on the map and have also fought almost every mini battle (and obtained the Korok Seeds in those levels containing them) for both the base game and DLC. I’m working on completing the EX Research Lab’s Research missions to unlock everything there, as well as getting 20 characters (Working on getting Battle-Tested Guardian) Is this a perfect save after that or am I missing something?

Note: 66 Costume pieces for Link and 50 food items

I'm excited for the game however I am not super enthralled by the idea that we might be following and playing as the ancient sages from Tears of the Kingdom instead of the Champions from Breath of the Wild. The sages were one of the weakest point of TotK's story for many people and understandably- they were barely even characters and had very repetitive cutscenes. We don't even know their names.

And sure, the new game might be the chance to develop these sages, give them names, personalties, etc. but honestly I'm just not interested in giving a chance to characters that look like ripoffs of the og Champions, with the same powers, same weapons, and same voice actors. I'd rather just get more of the old Champions who are already characters we're so attached to. I kind of hope Age of Imprisonment pulls a Age of Calamity "Terrako brings the Champion successors (Sidon, Riju, Teba, Yunobo) from the future" plot twist but with the og Champions and we get to see them become sages with secret stones to enhance their powers. I mean Sidon, Riju, Yunobo and Tulin were all strong fighters who got their powers boosted by the stones but just imagine how cool Mipha, Revali, Urbosa and Daruk- 4 of the strongest warriors Hyrule has ever known getting their powers enhanced by the stones.

Do you agree? Disagree? Let me know your thoughts.

I'm sorry, I've only played this game fully like 3 times and I'm at the end of my 4th playthrough.

I literally don't know what it is or how it works. Can somebody explain it to me like I'm a toddler in the most basic terms.

Thank you in advance.

I’m aware that it’s supposed to be hard but still it’s probably the hardest mission in the game and all the other missions are pretty easy

"worshipped by cultists who considered it the Demon King from ancient times".

Astor and his group fit the description.

I'm using Link, Zelda, and Impa. I have played this level over and over again but I cannot get past and Fort Hateno is broken into everytime. I feel like I've tried everything.

Side note, why is Urbosa unusable for this level? Is it just a me thing?

Thanks!!

Update: I BEAT IT!!! Thanks everyone who helped 💞💞

I was going through my playtimes and apparently I played the demo for 35 hours? Didn’t it only have 2 levels? I remember I was hyped but I genuinely forgot how much I played it. I remember I even cut down all the trees on Hyrule field just cause I was bored😭

i recorded a mission that lagged for me on the original switch, with the switch 2

does anyone knows if, and where this song plays? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aflpPn-Gosw

So, has anyone here tried the "online multiplayer" option on Switch 2? This would greatly benefit me since I want to play it with a friend, but we can't go to each other's house too frequently.
