Talk:Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

Spin-Off Canon

How come its still considered a spin-off since they made it clear that this game is basically their canon way of telling the story of the events that took place 100 years before Breath of the Wild events? -- Wolfgerlion64 (talk) 16:45, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

The Hyrule Warriors series is a spin-off series, and this new game has "Hyrule Warriors:" in the title, which makes it part of that series. But remember, being a spin-off doesn't automatically make it non-canon. There are other game series that have had canon spin-offs before, it's nothing new.

I can understand some people wondering why this is still considered a spin-off even though they confirmed it being a prequel. It's just kinda weird seeing this being treated as spin-off while The Adventure of Link (which has a completely different gameplay system (and minor different name pattern) than any other games in the series) being treated as main game. Even more since this is completely seperated to the original Hyrule Warriors title. I'd still put it as spin-off on this website, but might need to be discussed in the future depending on how Nintendo themself treat this game in the future like are they gonna list it amongst main games on official sources or do they list it seperate etc. --Raygius (talk) 17:21, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

First canon Zelda game with multiple main playable characters?

Would Age of Calamity qualify as this? Or would Spirit Tracks be considered this? Though I guess if we wanna stretch it, Four Swords would be the first one. Scorching Emblem (talk) 07:15, 10 October 2020 (UTC)

Canonicity, again

Although a longtime reader, I'm new to editing this wiki so I apologize if I'm missing anything. (I've read the Canon Policy.) However I must ask: why is this game, and things from it, labeled as non-canon? There is no indication it is non-canon, it just (mostly) doesn't take place in the same timeline as Breath of the Wild. In the beginning we see Terrako travel from BotW's timeline, which is canon, to this new one. Also Riju, Sidon, Teba and Yunobo appear from that timeline. Just because it is a new timeline does not make it non-canon... does it? Plus, how could a character like Terrako, who is the exact same individual in both timelines, be canon in one and not the other? (Not to mention some articles are inconsistent on this and this would make articles like Terrako's a mess.) Chubby Potato (talk) 07:06, 30 November 2020 (UTC)
