Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Update 1.0.1 Launches with Key Fixes and New Shortcut Feature

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Version 1.0.1 Released: Patch Notes and New Features Koei Tecmo and Nintendo have officially launched Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment on the Nintendo Switch, expanding the acclaimed hack-and-slash series with a new chapter set in The Legend of Zelda universe.

Released globally on November 5, 2025, the game immediately received its first post-launch update, Version 1.0.1, available now via the eShop.

This day-one patch focuses on stability, gameplay fixes, and player quality of life enhancements based on extensive pre-release testing. As a collaborative effort between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment builds on the success of its predecessors and brings an action-packed interpretation of Hyrule's history.

The title leverages the Nintendo Switch hardware for local co-op and online play, offering fans a robust roster and strategic combat against hordes of enemies.

The latest patch, Version 1.0.1, demonstrates the developers’ ongoing commitment to a smooth and enjoyable player experience from day one. Among the repaired issues, the update resolves a situation where progress could be halted if a player discovered a Korok while playing two-player split screen under specific circumstances.

Another fix addresses a scenario where the screen would go dark and prevent further advancement if a player exited a battle while the 'Temporal Counter' animation was active.

The patch also tackles problems that caused the game to freeze when initiating a battle or after ending a GameShare communication, ensuring a more reliable multiplayer experience.

Beyond these prominent fixes, several additional issues impacting the gameplay and performance have been addressed to further stabilize the release version. In a statement reflecting the developers’ priorities, the official patch notes explain that the new update not only addresses technical issues but also introduces features designed to streamline the gameplay loop.

Notably, Version 1.0.1 adds a convenient shortcut (Y button) on the map screen, allowing players to quickly access Aside Quests.

This improvement streamlines navigation and enhances the overall player experience, aligning with fan feedback and modern quality of life standards seen across current-generation Nintendo titles. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is now available for purchase on the Nintendo Switch, both digitally via the Nintendo eShop and in physical retail editions.
