The last two Zelda game releases have featured Zelda taking a much more active role in the main story not as the damsel in distress, but as the main protagonist or deutagonist.
I am very glad to see Wes Ball and the producers continuing in this direction.

The Game Awards has become quite the punching bag over the years, and for good reason.
The jury's gameplay bias is absurd. Story-focused genres like visual novels are never nominated for best story, music and rhythm games are never nominated for best music, and there's always a bias for publishers.

Many people celebrated Matt Mercer being cast as Ganondorf after playing Ganondorf in "There Will Be Brawl."
But did you know that ProZD/SungWon Cho, EN voice actor for Calamo in Age of Imprisonment, had previously uploaded a skit that implicitly makes fun of Breath of the Wild's 900 Korok Seeds?

I've attempted to replicate this in Docked mode. Turns out I pushed myself into conditions even more prone to drops in frame rate.
It... was actually playable.
I guess the only explanation is that the Switch 2 dock "de-underclocks" the Switch 2 by a much larger margin than the Switch 1 on Docked.

The moment I returned to Twitter after my social media blackout to play Age of Imprisonment, I was hit with uneasy feelings and general negativity.
I was actually happier not using Twitter, so you know what? To hell with it and its polarized communities!
Bsky, on the other hand, was all positive.

I wasn't able to trigger a game crash, but I was able to get the game to momentarily freeze.

Having completed Age of Imprisonment, I will be returning to Age of Calamity to do some testing on Nintendo Switch 2.
I had previously experienced multiple game crashes, primarily in handheld mode.
To attempt to replicate this, I am going to be playing "The Fiercest of Foes" challenge.

After a little over 50 hours, I have achieved 100% Map Completion in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.
That's roughly the same amount of time taken to get 100% in Age of Calamity without DLC.
The two games have very similar approaches to post-game content, but I think AoC did it much better.

I didn't think Nintendo could baby Metroid players a 3rd time. Did they not learn from Other M's pretentious dialogue or Federation Force's unnecessary Samus nerf?
Oof. 😢

The Metroid Prime 4 overview trailer was just released on the Nintendo Today! app.
The trailer showed most of what we already know. I actually thought it was just a re-upload of an older trailer.
Still, it is good they consolidated everything into one trailer for people to see.

#HyruleWarriors: Age of Imprisonment's ending was one of the most genius things ever.
Yes, we get the "bad ending" that everyone desired. However, the way that the ending was written in Age of Imprisonment interprets the story in quite a different tone than Tears of the Kingdom.

I believe these creators need to be investigated. They've gotten away too long making money off spoiling game content.
The timing of when they complete games after a game launches is physically impossible even on a marathon basis.
This leads me to suspect they acquire games illegally before launch

Many new characters in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment follow a clever naming scheme: they're named for ancient real-world things related to what they are.
For example, the Mysterious Construct's name comes from the ancient practice of never revealing a character's true name until release. 😔

One thing I've finally been able to do was complete the PAL Hidden Mansion in Luigi's Mansion, and I've accomplished it with Rank A, the highest score on the GameCube version.
Even though I've played 3DS Hidden Mansion before, PAL Hidden Mansion was still a challenge.

It's actually ridiculous that they went out to patch this collection a 2nd time, but couldn't bother asking Koei-Tecmo to fix Age of Calamity on Switch 2.

One burning question I have about Age of Imprisonment is whether or not it reuses some parts of Age of Calamity's soundtrack.
The four tracks that have a chance of being reused are the Hinox, Talus, and Molduga theme, as well as the Victory theme, as these songs are renditions of BotW music.

So far, Age of Imprisonment has a TGS demo, a PAX Aus demo, and now a retailer demo.
I have not found the time yet to venture into a store to try out the demo, but I am looking forward to it.
Here's hoping they still release an eShop demo with transferrable save data. I really want to play this!

Calamo
A brave little Korok adventurer who is looking for "a place to put down roots."
Like other Warriors in Age of Imprisonment, Calamo seems to be named after something ancient. In this case, Calamophyton. This was a genus of tree that made up the oldest known forest!

Taking some photos to celebrate the partial reveal of the name of the Link-esque construct in Age of Imprisonment.
There is a newer render that features a black hood. Perhaps I should grab a screenshot of that one as well.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment promises to deliver a smoother and more advanced experience from previous Hyrule Warriors games.

I can almost definitively say that Nintendo of America has done a terrible job marketing #HyruleWarriors: Age of Imprisonment.
I think they have severely misjudged the NA market again. It always feels like Nintendo of Europe is taking bigger risks.
This is starting to feel like Xenoblade.

Word of advice to anyone watching Nintendo Directs simultaneously:
The Nintendo Today! app broadcasts the Direct about 5-10 seconds earlier than YouTube. If you are all watching together on your own screens and don't want surprises to be ruined, watch it through Nintendo Today!

Nintendo has finally added #HyruleWarriors: Age of Imprisonment to the Nintendo Today! app. I wonder if this delay has something to do with Koei Tecmo publishing the game in Japan.
