It’s going to be a while before we get a newLegend of Zeldagame, so if there was ever a time you were going to go back and play installments you missed, now is the time to do it. Particularly if you skipped 2020’sHyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamityas the Switch game, along with its DLC, appears to have been marked down to a shockingly low price, likely accidentally, at GameStop.
Spotted by Wario64, if you’re seeing this before the price has been corrected, or before the game sells out, then you can get Age of Calamity plus its expansion for just $13.99. You’ll see on the bundle’s store page, whether you make it there in time to make the most of the likely inadvertent deal or not, it usually costs almost $80 to buy the spinoff’s complete edition. A fantastic deal, whether accidental or not, especially when it comes to a Switch game with Link as the star.
There’s a chance that if the price reduction is accidental, GameStop will reverse and refund orders once it realizes what has happened. So even if you do make it through the checkout with a $14 copy of the game, there’s no guarantee your order will be honored and processed.
Although you should play everything linked to the Legend of Zelda series that you may if you love the games, be warned that Age Of Calamity is very different from anything else from the series you will have played, aside from the first Hyrule Warriors from 2014. The hack-and-slash title combinesDynasty Warriorswith Hyrule and characters from it and serves as a prequel toBreath of the Wild, set 100 years before the events of the best-selling Zelda game of all time.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
WHERE TO PLAY
Continuing the series of Zelda-based musou spin-offs, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity serves as a prequel to the smash-hit Breath of the Wild. Once again, Link must stop Calamity Ganon from destroying the kindgom of Hyrule.
How exactly items get marked down accidentally isn’t clear, but if it is what has happened here, it certainly isn’t the first time. Last year Nintendo’s brand new Mario Red OLED Switchwas accidentally listed for a penny on Amazon, an example of a sale I’m sure wasn’t honored. At the end of April, something similar happened on the Microsoft Store as people realizedthey could buy the entire collection of James Bond movies for less than $5.
Even if you don’t get yourself Hyrule Warriors plus its DLC for $14, there is still other Zelda stuff coming to fill the undetermined amount of time between games.A Great Deku Tree Lego set is available for pre-orderahead of a September release, and Nintendo has confirmed a live-action Zelda game is in the works.
