Overview

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Expansion Pass Wave 1 – Pulse of the Ancients

Wave 1 includes an expanded roster, newly added weapon types, and challenging enemies. Dominate the battlefield as the playable Battle-Tested Guardian or try out the added Flail weapon for Link and Master Cycle for Zelda. These combat styles will come in handy as you face the challenging Apocalyptic difficulty and added enemies like the bomb-throwing Moblin and Giant Chuchu. You can also stop by the Royal Ancient Tech Lab to test yourself with new challenges!
