​

The Legend of Zelda fans went wild over Hyrule Warriors; DDNet Editor-in-Chief Matt played the original for the third time on Nintendo Switch and gave it 4.5 stars, writing, “The game’s a very fine one, but I very rarely play games three times through. Thankfully, this is one case where I haven’t regretted it in the slightest, because this game is absolutely amazing on the Switch.” He scored the second game, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, five stars. As a result, there is a lot of expectations for the newly-announced prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.
