Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Box Art Officially Revealed For Switch 2

@Yoshi3 yeah, but TBF it is what the Warriors games have been like for better or worse over the last 28 years, it’s just the Musou genre.

Usually it’s the spinoffs titles where they mash up into other franchises that they get more interesting (One Piece, Persona 5, Fire Emblem, etc…).

I wasn’t a fan of the first Hyrule Warriors however, as it basically is Dynasty Warriors with variable Zelda skins and story flavours because “reasons”. If a Zelda-like smash bros Musou ensemble was to players tastes then great… but I need good story reasons and less repetitive maps to play.

That’s why AOC and AOI are much better in the grander scheme of things, it leans more into “Zelda with Warriors elements” than the other way around, which makes the gameplay far more involved and interesting. Plus, using the richer story universe of BotW and TotK as tie in’s allows those games to be broadened in other ways whilst making these Hyrule Warriors spinoffs feel relevant to play.

(Obviously, if you don’t like the recent Zelda’s, then sure – it probably won’t do nout for you either).

@OFFICIALMichi The game was never announced as coming to the Switch 1 though (I know, it SUCKS). But yeah, gameshare is how you can access it for co-op only modes via Switch 2. It’s a great idea for co-op that doesn’t compromise the screen space, but essentially it’s just streaming the Switch 2 game to the system.
