《Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity》由光荣特库摩旗下的Omega Force团队开发，任天堂负责全球发行。游戏讲述的是《塞尔达传说：旷野之息》世界观中100年前发生的“大灾厄”事件，由林克和塞尔达公主集结海拉鲁四英杰——达尔克尔（Daruk，鼓隆族）、力巴尔（Revali，利特族）、米法（Mipha，卓拉族）和乌尔波扎（Urbosa，格鲁德族）——共同对抗灾厄盖侬的邪恶势力。希卡之石（Sheikah Slate）也作为关键道具登场，为玩家提供丰富的战斗策略选项。
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity delivers a thrilling fusion of the expansive world of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the high-octane action of Koei Tecmo’s Dynasty Warriors series. Acting as a dramatic prequel set 100 years before the events of Link’s 2017 awakening, this title shifts away from lonely exploration to focus entirely on massive, tactical battlefields.
