Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is coming up fast, and we’re getting more information slowly shown to us in trailers and via the game’s official listings. Arriving on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 2, Age of Imprisonment lets you lead the battlefield as Zelda this time, not Link. Or you can become Rauru, Sonia, and more characters as seen in Tears of the Kingdom.
Similar to previous Zelda games, it’s now confirmed that you can use save data and amiibo figures to snag some extra stuff. If you have save data for Tears of the Kingdom or Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, you can get a High Guard’s Sword and High Guard’s Claymore to equip your fighters with. They look fancy – you can see them in the trailer below – and we’re sure they’ll pack a punch.
According to the listing page, you can redeem these items after finishing the ‘Howling Tempest’ mission – though we’re not massively sure what that is just yet. The page also says that scanning figures from the Zelda series – such as the TOTK amiibo and BOTW amiibo – gets you ‘in-game rewards’ including crafting materials, so that’s nice.
