Flurry Rush By dodging away from an attack at the last second, Warriors can retaliate with a Flurry Rush. Time seems to slow down and they can unleash a series of attacks in a short window of time!

Countering Powerful Foes may execute devastating attacks, but Warriors can respond by Countering them with Unique Skills in kind. Countering effectively can change the outcome of a battle, so remember to carefully watch your opponent!

For some reason, the Big Wheel in Mineru's Spherical Strike rotates in reverse! Its top axle should also be retracted because it is merged to something (a Stake) with its bottom axle.

Unique Skills Every Warrior has a set of abilities that allow them to gain an upper edge in battle. Some Unique Skills are perfect for countering enemies that charge forward, while others work well to punish aerial and jumping enemies. Different situations call for different strategies!

I've been a little busy and scattered but I pulled together a very quick post from the older posts we made here about the #Nintendo Museum's #Zelda exhibit and the thoughts about the "new" art discoveries a few of us had: historyofhyrule.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

Many new characters in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment follow a clever naming scheme: they're named for ancient real-world things related to what they are. For example, the Mysterious Construct's name comes from the ancient practice of never revealing a character's true name until release. 😔

This is from a Mario and Link Nintendo Power folder that @artofnp.bsky.social had made a beautiful high-res scan of & I patched the sword. I don't think it's been online as a stand-alone image #zelda #nintendo I've been doing art repairs while I'm redoing the gallery: www.flickr.com/photos/histo...

Calamo A brave little Korok adventurer who is looking for "a place to put down roots." Like other Warriors in Age of Imprisonment, Calamo seems to be named after something ancient. In this case, Calamophyton. This was a genus of tree that made up the oldest known forest!

The Mysterious Construct Just who is this strange Construct, and where did they come from...? All we know about this new ally is that they are capable of altering their body to fight and to fly through the sky. They seem to have some sort of bond with a Korok named Calamo...

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment promises to deliver a smoother and more advanced experience from previous Hyrule Warriors games. With the Nintendo Switch 2's capabilities, players can face off against even larger groups of enemies than before.

New promotional material for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment have revealed a new character and given us a (Japanese) name! Meet Pasutosu (パストス), a Goron warrior who battles against Zelda and Rauru at the Ancient Hyrule Castle.

The Battle shown in the Tokyo Game Show and PAX Aus had tons of details, and thanks to footage collected from people attending, we've been able to compose an almost-complete article for it. So, "Where Ancient Wisdom Sleeps" is as complete as possible for the time being!

Battles Princess Zelda traveled back in time and meets the last remaining Zonai, King Rauru and Mineru. She later joins with the founders of Hyrule in the Imprisoning War. Players can quickly switch between Warriors in battle to have full control of the battlefield whenever a situation arises.

Literally the first and only Patreon subscription I've ever done. He does invaluable work. If you've ever offered to support me you could support him: because that supports what I do.

Our October community update is up! This month we celebrate our 3rd anniversary and discuss our future plans for covering Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.

Sync Strikes When two allied Warriors join hands in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, they can pull off incredible and devastating attacks by combining their powers together. Almost every combination is different between pairs and will change the flow of battle in unique ways.

NEW VIDEO!! This time we're looking at the 4th dungeon of Oracle of Seasons, the Dancing Dragon Dungeon! And it is so much FUN Watch it here: ➡️ youtu.be/qBLZnq9yOKk

Zonai Devices Advanced machines created by the ancient Zonai, first featured in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Warriors can make use of Zonai Devices such as Flame Emitters and Hydrants to weaken enemies and turn the tide of battle in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.

One of the downsides of Nintendo's backwards compatibility list is that they aren't giving specific details about which games are experiencing issues. Because of this lack of information (or transparency), my confidence in the validity of that list is a bit shaken.

Ganondorf Among the Gerudo there is but one man born every 100 years. According to ancient tradition, that man is destined to become their leader.

Her English name is Lenalia!

Nintendo of America has confirmed his English name is Agraston!

Ranaria The chamberlain who follows Zelda, she was first mentioned as the author of the Ancient Tablets in Tears of the Kingdom. She has a laid-back nature but has earned Rauru's trust because she does quick work. She's fascinated by spiritual things and is always seen carrying her notebook around.

Regarding the names of the Sages from Tears of the Kingdom/Age of Imprisonment, we will not attempt to 'translate' them from Japanese. For the sake of consistency, we'll use direct romanizations until their names from the English localization are revealed. Badly-made graphic provided for context.

Arudi A benevolent warrior of the Gerudo. She follows the ancient Gerudo tradition recognizing Ganondorf as her rightful leader. She ultimately takes Rauru's side against the Demon King as the Sage of Lightning in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.

Kurafika This chief of the Rito may sometimes be too witty for his own good. He can be difficult to understand from just his words alone, but he is fiercely loyal to his allies. As the Sage of Wind, he acts as a tailwind for Rauru against the Demon King in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.
