Age of Imprisonment offers myriad improvements across the board mechanically and visually, but my favorite element is that it treats Tears of the Kingdom’s story with respect.

The latest Hyrule Warriors lets players experience the Imprisoning War for themselves, and it can be a bit of a grind.

The latest Zelda and Musou crossover puts quite a lot of faith in your investment in Zelda lore, but at its heart is the best warriors gameplay in years.

A few issues hold it back, but Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment marks a high point for the spin-off series, iterating on its riotous hack-and-slash combat with depth and variety.
