Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a hack-and-slash action game developed by Omega Force, released in 2020 for Nintendo Switch. Set one hundred years before the events of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, it depicts the cataclysmic Great Calamity that brought Hyrule to ruin. Players take control of multiple characters — including Link, Zelda, the four Champions, and a young Impa — each with distinct combat abilities suited to cutting through large groups of enemies. Battles pit players against waves of Bokoblins, Lynels, and other hostile creatures drawn from the Breath of the Wild universe. The narrative unfolds through cinematic cutscenes that explore the roles of Zelda, the Champions, and the King of Hyrule as they attempt to defend their kingdom. The game serves as the primary dramatization of events that are only referenced in the broader Breath of the Wild storyline.
The story begins 100 years before the events in the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game. A young soldier named Link is asked to guard Princess Zelda. Impa, Zelda, and Link are shown. Link stands alongside the champions of Hyrule. They travel with Impa to four different regions to recruit mighty champions to help defend Hyrule against an impending attack from Calamity Ganon.
