For fans of the Nintendo Switch hacking and homebrew scene, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity (HWAoC) remains a staple title, not just for its canonical prequel story to Breath of the Wild, but for its substantial post-launch support via updates and the Guardian of Remembrance DLC. Tracking the correct NSP (Nintendo Submission Package) files, updates, and DLC unlocks is key to experiencing the full game—especially as it includes performance improvements and exclusive content.
Nintendo and Koei Tecmo released the Age of Calamity Expansion Pass in two distinct waves. A fully updated NSP will include both.
Age of Calamity with all updates and DLC is the definitive way to play. The NSP version works flawlessly if installed correctly, and the extra story chapters make the $20 DLC feel worthwhile. Just don’t expect Breath of the Wild exploration – it’s pure Musou chaos with a Zelda coat of paint.
Tip: After installing, go to “Options” → “DLC” to claim bonus items (Luminescent Stone, etc.).
