Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment's Best New Feature
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a solid collaboration between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo, offering some unexpected surprises. Having played numerous "Warriors" games before, I thought I knew what to expect. However, this game delivers more than just action-packed battles.
Unexpectedly, it features what is arguably the closest experience to a new Star Fox game in nearly ten years, with flying and shooting mechanics integrated into the gameplay. In essence, there is a mini Star Fox game embedded within this Warriors title.
Gameplay and Story
Age of Imprisonment follows the same action-driven formula as its predecessor, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. It serves as a prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom while simultaneously acting as a sequel to Age of Calamity. It builds on the established systems and mechanics, incorporating new elements from Tears of the Kingdom.
The result is one of the strongest Warriors games released in recent years, with an engaging story that enriches the Tears of the Kingdom narrative.
Story Setting
Age of Imprisonment recounts the Imprisoning War against Ganondorf, which sets the stage for the events of Tears of the Kingdom. The game takes place in the distant past, during which Princess Zelda meets and assists King Rauru and Queen Sonia.
"I genuinely did not expect that this would be the closest thing we’ve gotten to a new Star Fox game where you can fly and shoot in nearly a decade."
The game combines familiar action with fresh elements, making it a standout entry in the Warriors series.
Author's summary: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment offers a fresh twist to the series by integrating a mini Star Fox experience, enriching the Zelda lore with intense action and a deep prequel story.
