Overview
- Nintendo’s Version 1.0.1 update went live at launch, fixing split-screen Korok progression, a screen-darkening bug during Temporal Counter, and a GameShare start issue, and adding a Y-button shortcut to Aside Quests on the map.
- The game adapts Tears of the Kingdom mechanics to hack-and-slash play, including Zonai devices, weapon fusion, Korok discoveries, and cooking-based stat boosts.
- Coverage describes the release as a companion to Tears of the Kingdom that centers on Princess Zelda’s perspective during the Imprisoning War.
- Reports differ on the playable roster, with IGN listing 19 characters unlocked through story and side quests and ComicBook citing up to 28 warriors across the full game.
- Guides note that some heroes have fixed weapons while others can switch gear, and that weapon changes must be made from the Allies menu on the map before selecting a mission; Sonia is reported as non-playable.
