Similar to previous games in the Hyrule Warriors series, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment follows a team of characters as they engage in grand, large-scale battles. As its name implies, it draws heavy inspiration from Dynasty Warriors and its numerous spin-offs, emulating the frequently chaotic gameplay of these various titles. Consequently, combat in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will differ significantly compared to recent Zelda games, or any Zelda game for that matter. However, being part of the Breath of the Wild/Tears of The Kingdom lineage, with an art style and plot closely tied to these iconic titles, means that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is likely to share certain characteristics with them. The amount of cross-pollination between the two could make the upcoming Musou title quite innovative.
