Dominate the Battlefield with These 5 Tips for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment

Apply these strategies to improve your chances of victory against the Demon King Ganondorf in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, available on Nintendo Switch 2. From well-timed unique attacks to smart use of Zonai devices, there are various ways to gain an advantage over Ganondorf’s forces.

Utilize Zonai Devices and Elemental Effects

While Zonai devices are useful in battle, their elemental properties can be even more effective. For example, a Hydrant in muddy terrain can wash away enemies, and the Flame Emitter can quickly defeat powerful foes like Frost Talus. Some allies also possess elemental attacks that can be strategically deployed.

Collect and Use Materials

Defeating enemies, opening treasure chests, and completing battles yield materials. These resources can be used at camps to grant benefits such as faster movement, extra experience points, or quicker recharge of your special attack. You can supply materials before battles or set up new camps at recaptured outposts to activate effects during fights.

Combine Materials for Enhanced Effects

Experiment with different material combinations to amplify their benefits on the battlefield, enhancing your tactical options.

Upgrade Weapons with Zonaite Steel

As you advance, you will earn Zonaite steel, a valuable resource used at the Weapons Research Base to improve your weapons’ power and effectiveness.

"Using a Hydrant in muddy areas can help you wash away enemies, while the Flame Emitter can make light work of even a huge Frost Talus."
"Materials can be supplied to a camp and equipped at the start of each battle. Alternatively, set up a fresh camp at recaptured outposts and activate the effects mid-battle."

Author's summary: Strategic use of Zonai devices, resource management, and weapon upgrades are key to overcoming Ganondorf’s forces in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.
