- The next main line Zelda the game could be inspired by that of Koei Tecmo Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
- The Legend of Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma has teased the next Zelda game, saying it was inspired by the Koei Tecmo spin-off.
- “The inspiration we gained from such a collaboration with Koei Tecmo could be reflected in the next Zelda we create,” says Aonuma
The Legend of Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma suggested that the next installment of the long-running series would be inspired by the Koei Tecmo film. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.
Speaking in an interview with Japanese publication 4Gamer (via VGC), Aonuma teased the upcoming Zelda game and said his team took inspiration from Koei Tecmo’s Nintendo Switch 2 spinoff title.
“Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is the first Zelda title on Nintendo Switch 2,” Aonuma said. “To be honest, we wanted to be the ones to release ‘first’ ourselves (laughs).
“Nevertheless, the inspiration we gained from such a collaboration with Koei Tecmo could be reflected in the next Zelda we create. While you play Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonmentwe hope you will imagine these possibilities and look forward to our Zelda“.
Age of imprisonment is the third match of the Hyrule Warriors series, and depicts the events that led to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Realm. The previous game, The Age of Calamityalso does the same thing by telling the story of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WildThe story as a prequel.
Nintendo has not announced the third game in its new Zelda series, but I’m curious to see if Aonuma will use Age of imprisonmentThe mix of action mechanics as inspiration for the next entry.
In TechRadar Gaming Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment review, hardware editor Rhys Wood called the game “a huge improvement over The Age of Calamity“, offering “more characters with interesting move sets, decent performances, and a story that doesn’t relegate itself to a meaningless “what if” storyline.
