Topic: Should i buy Hyrule warriors DE or AoC

I don’t know if I can make a topic about this but I really wanna try a hyrule warriors game but I don’t know which one to pick

I want the Definitive Edition because you get to play in the worlds from the previous zelda’s and I get to play with a lot of characters

Age of Calimity because it’s a prequel to Botw and I really liked that game and I want to know more about the past of that world

My question is, which one of the two is more enjoyable then the other?

In terms of raw content Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition has more content in the form of the various adventure maps, but the story is, while alright, lacklustre for a Zelda game. The combat is easy to pick up and there’s so many weapons to pick out, and a wide range of characters.

Age of Calamity has a much larger focus on story and character, and the combat is much more strategic. But the side content is a bit lacking conversely, and of course granted it’s based on Breath of the Wild only, character diversity isn’t the best. But it’s a perfect companion to BotW for sure.

TheJGG is correct in their comment, I feel. I would go with HW:DE for 2 reasons.
1. All the DLC is included already
2. It runs better than AoC
AoC is not unplayable, but the performance is poor. I have actually put my AoC game on hold in hopes they will release a patch with performance mode (like FE:W).
I know you said you wanted a Zelda musou, but honestly Fire Emblem Warriors is superior to both in my opinion (I am saying this with 300 hours into FE:W, 100 into HW:DE, and 20 into AoC)

@Kaioken
If you liked Breath of the Wild, I think you will enjoy Age of Calamity.

I would stick with Definitive Edition for now, and wait for a complete edition of Age of Calamity, which will likely be released for the Switch's successor (and with improved performance and all of the expansion content on the cartridge). I wouldn't be surprised if they release it as a launch title.

Thank you all for answering!
For now I will go with AoC first
After that I’ll probably buy DE
