Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment's Unique Feature
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a notable collaboration between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo, delivering engaging gameplay with some unexpected elements. As a fan who has played numerous Warriors titles, I was surprised to find a feature reminiscent of classic Star Fox gameplay nested within this game.
A Star Fox-style Mini Game Inside
While primarily an action-packed Warriors game, Age of Imprisonment includes a mini game that closely resembles Star Fox, allowing players to fly and shoot, which hasn’t been seen in nearly a decade. This surprise element adds a fresh twist to the familiar formula.
Continuation and Expansion of Previous Titles
The game functions as both a prequel and a sequel. It tells the prequel story leading up to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, while also building on the gameplay and mechanics introduced in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. The integration of new elements from Tears of the Kingdom makes it one of the most compelling Warriors games in recent years.
Storyline and Setting
Age of Imprisonment takes place in the distant past during the Imprisoning War against Ganondorf. It explores how Princess Zelda meets and aids King Rauru and Queen Sonia, events that eventually lead to the storyline in Tears of the Kingdom.
"Age of Imprisonment essentially does the exact same thing as the previous game, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, in that it’s an action-focused experience that tells the prequel story to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom."
Author's Summary
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment combines intense action with an unexpected Star Fox-style flying mission, enriching the story and gameplay tied to the Tears of the Kingdom universe.
