Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Preorder Bonus
At the moment there aren’t any official preorder bonuses for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. However, players will gain access to extra in-game items through any The Legend of Zelda series amiibo. Using save data from Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom can also net you some additional weapons while you play, such as a High Guard’s Claymore via the former or a High Guard’s Sword from the latter.
What Is Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment?
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is the third game in the Hyrule Warriors series and is centered on the Imprisoning War that’s mentioned in Tears of the Kingdom. You’ll play as Princess Zelda (who has traveled back in time) alongside King Rauru, Queen Sonia, and more to fight against a variety of enemies.
In addition to your character’s abilities and weaponry, you can also use Zonai Devices in battle and even a Sync Strike mechanic, which allows you to pair up with an ally to unleash a massive attack on the battlefield together.
The game also allows for two-player split screen local co-op, if you have someone ready to play next to you, or it can be played through GameShare, which allows for you and another person to play on a Switch or Switch 2 even if they don’t own the game.
