Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment 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.

Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment Switch 1 development

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment was originally planned as a game for the original Nintendo Switch. Yosuke Hayashi, studio head of AAA Studio (Koei Tecmo), revealed that information in a new interview.

Hayashi said that plans for the project shifted midway through the development. He didn’t say what the turning point was, but ultimately Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is now a Nintendo Switch 2 game. Hayashi feels that the move only made the game “more fun” and there were improvements to the amount of enemies on screen as well as the frame rate.
