The Tokyo Game Show is going on right now, and many different games are being shown off and talked about. One of those titles is the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, which will further break down the tale of Zelda’s trip to the earliest days of Hyrule and her attempts to stop Ganondorf. At TGS, a demo is playable, and footage of the demo has been released online. In it, we see Princess Zelda, King Rauru, and his sister Mineru within the latter’s workshop, gathering materials, before they head into The Depths to see what’s within.
What follows is a quick look not only at the interactions between the three but also at how Zelda can fight in combat. As shown in the most recent trailer, she and other characters will be able to use Zonai devices to help fight foes, including using lightning and fire elements to strike them down. In the demo, we see Zelda swap between these devices and then focus on her own personal weapon and magic.
The reasons this is cool are many-fold. First, Zelda will clearly play entirely differently than Age of Calamity because she’s not using the Shiekah...
