The Zelda series originated from a desire to evoke the wonder of childhood adventures exploring caves, forests, and riversides. Meanwhile, the Dynasty Warriors series focuses on thrilling combat scenarios where players defeat hordes of foes at once. Combining these two, the Hyrule Warriors games merge Nintendo’s magical world with the fast-paced action of Dynasty Warriors.
Since the first game launched in 2014, this new entry, Age Of Imprisonment, is the third installment. It serves as a prequel to 2023’s mainline Zelda game, Tears Of The Kingdom, exploring the legendary Imprisoning War that was only briefly mentioned before.
