Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Review – An Empowering Spin-off Prequel
The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's Musou spin-off offers a familiar yet enjoyable experience enhanced by subtle but meaningful combat improvements. Following the path of 2020’s Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, it gives Tears of the Kingdom a chance to shine with a 1-versus-100 battle style in a fun, action-packed spin-off.
Fans of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom may wonder what Princess Zelda was doing after her journey to Hyrule’s first age. According to Nintendo and Koei Tecmo, her time was spent battling vast hordes of enemy Shades, Moblins, and Zonai Constructs.
“It’s not exactly what I pictured in my head, I’ll admit, but such circumstances are perfectly in line with what the prior two Hyrule Warriors games have taught us to expect.”
This installment carries more significance since its storyline is fully canon, unlike previous entries set in alternate timelines. Fundamentally, it remains a Musou game similar to the Dynasty Warriors series and its many spin-offs.
For players familiar with the genre, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment delivers plenty of excitement and impressive spectacle.
Key Highlights
