Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment is only a month away from its release on Nintendo Switch 2. The game takes place in the early times of Hyrule, where King Rauru and Queen Sonia rule. Princess Zelda is transported to that period and must aid them in fighting off Ganondorf and his army of monsters. Alongside those three will be Mineru, Rauru’s sister and resident genius, and the Four Champions, who have been a mystery since their appearance in Tears of the Kingdom. However, today, Nintendo dropped some key new details about the champions alongside new art…and a character reveal!
Let’s start with the translated names of the four champions:

What this highlights about Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment is that the current Champions have much different personalities than the modern ones. Just as important, this new maid could serve a key gameplay function in the non-battle segments, as Nintendo/Koei Tecmo has teased that we’ll get to see more of what the ancient version of Hyrule was like between missions.
All will be revealed when the game drops on Nintendo Switch 2 on November 6th.
