00:10The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom last year, she's back to do it again in this lavish
00:15prequel to The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Where Echoes highlighted her book
00:19smarts with a copy wand to solve puzzles, here in Age of Imprisonment she's handed a light-powered
00:24beam saber and told to get slicing. On the upside, Zelda is an excellent lead character,
00:30game performance is great, and the story additions work well. Negatives include boring battlefield
00:36design, overly linear missions, and the shooter sections are an odd addition. Hyrule Warriors
00:42Age of Imprisonment manages to find exciting stories to tell as a Tears of the Kingdom prequel,
00:48with Princess Zelda taking the lead to spend plenty of time with some all-timer characters old and new.
00:53But while action and performance is an upgrade from the last Hyrule Warriors,
00:58strangled battlefield and mission designs become dull, holding this back from true magic.
