Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment receives first gameplay

A little more than a month before launch, the first gameplay has come in for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Ten minutes of footage has emerged from the 2025 Tokyo Game Show demo. Everything here is in direct-feed.

All of the footage highlights a level from the Depths. We get looks at Princess Zelda, Mineru, and Rauru battling it out against enemies.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Fight the war for Ancient Hyrule! Step on to the battlefield as Princess Zelda, King Rauru, and other legendary heroes as you fight to reclaim your homeland – and live the story of the Demon King Ganondorf’s invasion.

Princess Zelda is not alone in this war! Join Mineru, the Sages, and even some brand new heroes in battles against Ganondorf’s forces. Combine powerful Zonai Devices with your heroes’ signature abilities to take down powerful bosses and their legions of minions.

Join up with a friend for two-player local co-op, and you can spread out to cover more ground as the war unfolds – or stick together and combine your powers to smash the opposition. Play split-screen on the same console, or on two separate consoles via GameShare.

Scan any The Legend of Zelda series amiibo figure (sold separately) to get in-game rewards including crafting materials and other items that you might find helpful in your quest to defeat Ganondorf!

If you have save data from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, you’ll receive a High Guard’s Sword or High Guard’s Claymore respectively when you play. These weapons can be redeemed after returning to the Hyrule map upon completion of The Howling Tempests mission.
