With its launch just over a month away, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment has unveiled its first official gameplay footage, giving fans an exciting preview of what to expect. Captured directly from the Tokyo Game Show 2025 demo, the ten-minute video showcases a level set in the Depths, featuring Princess Zelda, Mineru, and Rauru engaged in intense combat against formidable foes.
The newly released footage provides a detailed look at the game’s mechanics and setting. Players will experience the epic conflict in Ancient Hyrule, taking control of iconic characters like Princess Zelda and King Rauru as they confront the invasion led by the Demon King Ganondorf. Alongside familiar allies such as Mineru and the Sages, players will also encounter new heroes joining the fight. A key feature involves combining powerful Zonai Devices with each character’s unique abilities to overcome challenging bosses and their armies.
Cooperative gameplay is a major focus, with support for two-player local co-op. Friends can choose to split up across the battlefield for broader coverage or unite their strengths for devastating combined attacks. This can be enjoyed via split-screen on a single console or across two separate systems using GameShare functionality. Additionally, scanning any amiibo figure from The Legend of Zelda series, sold separately, unlocks in-game rewards like crafting materials and other useful items to aid in the quest against Ganondorf.
Players who have save data from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity will receive special bonuses. These include the High Guard’s Sword or High Guard’s Claymore, which become available after completing The Howling Tempests mission and returning to the Hyrule map.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is scheduled for release on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 6, 2025. A brand new trailer is also available for viewing, offering further insight into the game’s story and action.
