Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity teases the expansion of the Yiga Clan and a mysterious new figure

It looks like the Yiga Clan will have an expanded role

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity‘s marketing is really heating up, as Nintendo is starting to show off some of its unique bits.

While at first it seemed like just another Warriors game, Nintendo is leaning hard into the tie-in with Breath of the Wild. We just recently saw that there will be some heavy lore implications with the action-centric prequel, and now it looks like we’re going to be getting a deeper look at the Yiga Clan.

While the Yiga were mostly a footnote in Breath of the Wild, featured in one major questline and a few sidequests, they’re going to be front and center in Age of Calamity, if this new clip is anything to go by. We get to see the infamous Master Kohga, who will potentially play a greater role, as well as an “ominous figure” aiding the clan. I’m getting Agahnim vibes.

At the end of the video, two Yiga footmen are seen kneeling in front of a character with a tattered cloak and what might be a magical sextant. Talk about a tease!
