Age of Calamity: Korok Counter Confirmed

Nintendo also has lifted the preview embargo for the west, where you can watch even more footage of Vah Ruta, Vah Rudania and the challenge missions surrounding chapter 2... But not actual footage from the story scenarios, which is probably good that all of this won't be spoiled for the public right away.

Anyway, GameXplain has shared some new details about the game, which takes away one of my concerns that I had after playing the demo:

mission select screen for the Battle of Hyrule Field with a number of Korok Seed icons at the bottom of level

Unlike in the demo, it actually shows you how many Korok Seeds there are in a level after completing it and how many of those you've already gotten. And that's certainly helpful. Ideally, it would also mark any found Koroks on your battlefield maps, but at least you will know which scenarios to play if you're still missing Koroks. Otherwise completing this game without online guides probably would have been a nightmare.

 

Map screen with the Military Training Camp selected

Another detail is that the Military Training Camp will act as your quick way of leveling characters for Rupees, like the "Training Dojo" in the first game. I could have seen this becoming an actual battlefield, but it's still a nice touch how all the features from Hyrule Warriors are incorporated into the main map here.
