A new old age

So, Koei Tecmo decided to spill some beans about Zelda’s companions in the upcoming Musou prequel, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. They dropped five new profiles and a bunch of screenshots on their official website, giving us a peek into the characters we’ll meet in the game. We now know the names of the four Sages (well, their Japanese-translated names) and… wait for it… Zelda’s maid?

First off, we have Argusta, the Goron Sage and leader of the Goron Tribe. He’s known to be a close pal of Rauru, described as a kind, generous, and smart ruler. Next in line is Kia, the Zora Sage and princess who’s a pro at martial arts. She’s admired for her courage, which rallies her people. Then, we have Krafika, the Rito leader and Rito Sage, who might not be the most straightforward character, but he’s loyal and values his friendships. Lastly, we have Ardi, a member of the Gerudo tribe and a devoted follower of Ganondorf, the current kingpin.

Out of all these characters, the one we’re really itching to meet is Lanaria (or Ranaria), Zelda’s maid. Trusted by Rauru, she’s a gentle soul, quick on her feet, and deeply intrigued by the mystical. Rumor has it she’s always carrying a notebook around. While it’s not a truckload of new info, just having a glimpse into the Sages’ world is a big deal this close to the game’s launch. We got a sneak peek of Age of Imprisonment at Tokyo Game Show, and we’re pumped to see how this “canonical” prequel adds to the Tears of the Kingdom saga.

Now, let’s dive into the new characters a bit more, shall we?

Argusta: The Goron Sage and leader of the Goron Tribe, known for being a good buddy of Rauru. He’s all about kindness, generosity, and brains. Kia: The Zora Sage and princess with mad martial arts skills. She’s a fearless leader who inspires her people. Krafika: The Rito leader and Rito Sage, a bit of a puzzle but loyal and caring towards his pals. Ardi: A member of the Gerudo tribe and a faithful follower of Ganondorf.

And last but not least, Lanaria (or Ranaria), Zelda’s maid. She’s a trusted aide of Rauru, a gentle soul who’s quick on her feet and fascinated by all things mystical. Plus, she’s always got her trusty notebook with her. It’s not clear why these characters matter so much, but hey, we’re just here for the ride, right?

So, there you have it, a glimpse into the new characters gracing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Can’t say for sure why this info is so important, but we’re definitely intrigued to see how these personalities shape the game’s narrative. Stay tuned for more updates as we inch closer to the game’s release date. Who knows what other surprises Koei Tecmo has in store for us?

And that’s a wrap on the latest scoop about Zelda’s companions in the upcoming game. Can’t wait to see how this all unfolds!
