Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment awards bonus weapons for TotK and Age of Calamity save data

Two exclusive swords can be redeemed in the new Hyrule Warriors game if your console has save data for a couple of recent Zelda games.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is set to launch for Switch 2 in November, delivering a story that chronicles the events leading up to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Players jumping into the new musou game will be able to claim a couple of exclusive rewards if their Switch systems have save data for two relevant Zelda games.

The new trailer for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment was uploaded today and while it only clocks in at less than a minute, it reveals a special “Save Data Link Bonus” promotion. If your Switch 2 has save data for The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you can receive the High Guard’s Sword in-game. Players with save data for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity can receive the High Guard’s Claymore.

With Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment serving as a prequel to Tears of the Kingdom, and its predecessor, Age of Calamity, being a Breath of the Wild spin-off, it makes sense that these are the two games Nintendo wants to reward players for playing.

It was announced at last week’s Nintendo Direct that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will launch on November 6, 2025, for the Switch 2.
