Thescreescore – own reporting confirms that the golden era of Nintendo enthusiasts is far from over. Following the monumental, critically acclaimed success of the Ocarina of Time remake—which achieved a rare, near-perfect 96 Metacritic score—the legend is preparing to strike again. While the gaming world is still reeling from the nostalgia of the N64 classic’s rebirth, Nintendo has officially signaled its next move in the franchise’s massive 40th-anniversary celebration.
Mark your calendars for February 25, 2027. Nintendo has announced that a high-definition remaster of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is slated for release on the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. Unlike the traditional, puzzle-heavy mainline entries, this "Definitive Edition" leans into the high-octane, large-scale combat that has become a staple of the Hyrule Warriors sub-series.
For those who missed the original 2020 launch, Age of Calamity serves as a vital prequel to the masterpiece Breath of the Wild. It offers a cinematic look at the tragic era 100 years prior, following Link, Zelda, and the legendary Champions as they attempt to stave off the encroaching darkness of Calamity Ganon. It is less about quiet exploration and more about the visceral, sweeping spectacle of battlefield warfare.
