Really loved the Age of Calamity demo.

Egg boi guardian is a great character. Seeing Hyrule 100 years ago is surreal, and so is seeing people like Impa, Purah, and Robbie. Can't wait to see how the story plays out.

Speaking of egg boy guardian... I'm wondering how AOC will handle the ending now that we know there's time travel shenanigans involved(hell we can already see some influence such as Zelda meeting Link way before he becomes the Champion) Like.. will the "true ending" be the one that leads into BOTW(aka "almost everyone dies, the end"), or will they retcon the events and split the timeline, literally?

I mean...they kind of have to make the ending canon since they are literally marketing this as a canon prequel. Also, based on some text in Age of Calamity, is Egg boi the fortune teller mentioned in the king's diary in Breath of the Wild? If so, who's the mysterious Yuga-looking person?

EDIT: Reread the king's diary from BoTW. Egg boi can't be the fortune teller, because the fortune teller told of the Calamity when Zelda was still a little girl.

I could see a few different options. (I'm not sure if this is a spoiler since it's covered in the first few minutes of the demo, but I'll spoiler-tag it anyway)

1) they go for the happy ending because they don't want to make the most depressing Zelda game ever, since the canon result would end with Zelda sealed away, at least four or five playable characters dying, and Link being almost fatally wounded and taken away to heal as characters like Impa, Purah, and Robbie can only watch and mourn those who are lost

2) it turns out that they can't stop the Calamity from happening, but the Egg Guardian survives and travels around Hyrule for the next hundred years, bringing more towers out of the ground. These towers help Link with beating Calamity Ganon in Breath of the Wild. (I can't remember if the towers were there in Breath of the Wild's flashbacks, but if they weren't, this could be an elaborate way of explaining how they got there)

3) (this one seems unlikely, since it might be too complicated for a Warriors game) the whole game turns out to be a stable time loop - the Egg Guardian's presence causes the Calamity to happen. Not knowing when it was created, they send the Egg Guardian back in time however many centuries to stop itself, leading it to becoming the Guardian that tried to destroy the Egg Guardian before it went through the time portal

I'm sure there are plenty of other options; those were just the first three ending ideas that I had.

If it is option #2, then that means we could see egg guardian boi in BoTW2.

Not sure if I posted this before, but someone made a really nice mix of Jin and Nina's themes in Tekken 3. So I'm sharing it here.

Was taking one of the dog's out for a walk, it occurred to me that this specific dog has lived on my families property for about 6 years and she has never seen other animals that aren't dogs or the one bird I had.

She was just staring at a horse with intense curiousity.

actually you can see pretty much all of the towers in the background in the Divine Beast trailer and we know from BOTW they aren't supposed to appear until Link activates them 100 years after the Calamity. So either it's just a convenient little detail they'll overlook for non-story reasons or there's something more to it.

Brawl, because I've sunk countless hours into it growing up and it's easily the best out of the four.

oooh.. that's a pretty spicy hot take if I do say so myself
honestly I agree with you though, although only because I've never played any of the other 3
