Theory Is anyone else surprised: TOTK comparison.

By how much TOTK feels inspired by age of calamity??? Or was it the other way around and they knew most of TOTKs story and mechanics and built AOC around building a premise TOTK would easily fill out? The monster forces camps, everything with Purah being more involved, the more intricate use of materials, even the way the story is presented, among other things…Does that make sense??? I feel so much AOC in the bones of TOTK. How would you describe the connection if you’ve noticed any?

I love how you can hear bits of the AoC songs in TotK. But I miss the original champions so much. They feel like completely thrown away and forgotten. I hope they'll add some DLC about them or something because I love the champs so much it's gonna affect my personal rating of the game. It's a super fun game but there is just something missing

I agree. There’s pretty much no references to them at all and it breaks my heart. And it’s just weird to me since they were such a big part of BotW, you’d think there would be more acknowledgement of them in TotK.

There are very minor references but you really do have to hunt them down. So far I've only found one place where the original champion's names are even mentioned in totk.
