Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, known in Japan as Zelda Musou: The Calamity's Apocalypse, is a hack-and-slash game released in 2020 for the Nintendo Switch, developed by Omega Force and published by Koei Tecmo in Japan and by Nintendo internationally. Like the original Hyrule Warriors, Age of Calamity mixes the world and characters of Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda franchise with the gameplay of Koei Tecmo's Dynasty Warriors series.

A Prequel set 100 years before the events of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity features Link and Princess Zelda, who must gather allies across Hyrule to fend off forces led by the evil Calamity Ganon, who is attempting to revive himself and destroy the kingdom.

Tropes used in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity include:
  • Mechanical Abomination: Harbinger Ganon possesses the inactive time-traveled Guardian Terrako, turning into one of these. Later, Calamity Ganon pulls his chief servant Astor into a horrific and unwilling Fusion Dance as punishment for his repeated failures, assimilating the mad prophet's body into his being. The result is a gigantic humanoid form that looks like a feral, monstrous Ganondorf comprised from Malice and Sheikah tech.
