Read details on the game below:
Battle hordes of enemies in the untold story of the Imprisoning War.
Fight the war for Ancient Hyrule! Step on to the battlefield as Princess Zelda, King Rauru, and other legendary heroes as you fight to reclaim your homeland—and live the story of Demon King Ganondorf’s invasion that was only briefly alluded to in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game.
Fight Alongside New and Familiar Heroes to Defend Hyrule From the Demon King
Princess Zelda is not alone in this war! Join Mineru, the Sages, and even some brand-new heroes in battles against Ganondorf’s forces. Combine powerful Zonai Devices with your heroes’ signature abilities to take down powerful bosses and their legions of minions.
Team up With a Friend in Two-Player Local Cooperative Play via Split-Screen or Gameshare
Join up with a friend for two-player local cooperative play, and you can spread out to cover more ground as the war unfolds—or stick together and combine your powers to smash the opposition. Play split-screen on a single system, or on two separate systems via GameShare—either way, only one person needs to have the game.
Tap Any The Legend of Zelda series amiibo for Extra Items
Scan any The Legend of Zelda series amiibo figure to get in-game rewards including crafting materials and other items that you might find helpful in your quest to defeat the Demon King!
Use Save Data From Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom to Get Additional Weapons
If you have save data from the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity game on your system when you play, you’ll receive a High Guard’s Claymore. If you have save data from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game, you receive a High Guard’s Sword. These weapons can be redeemed after returning to the Hyrule map upon completion of The Howling Tempest mission.

I believe Age of Calamity is the current best seller of all Warriors games (Zelda or otherwise) at around 4M
‪Are these overall worldwide sales? Or just Japanese sales as Koei Tecmo is the publisher in Japan while Nintendo is the publisher everywhere else.?
Worldwide. Warriors games are not that popular.
This game is really fun! Made 100% with son!
We'll inevitably have another one but I would like Nintendo to invest in another kind of genre spinoff for the frabchise
I know it's a niche series and Switch 2 doesn't have a big install base yet, but that seems really low after two months considering it and Prime 4 were the only two holiday games for the system. I guess even with the lack of games on the system people weren't gonna be convinced to pick Warriors up.
Two out of three holiday games.
You forgot Kirby Air Riders.
Don't forget Pokemon Legends ZA released just three weeks before Age of Imprisonment.
People only pick up things they're interesting in and Warriors games remain unappealing to most especially in the west. I'm the biggest Zelda fan but haven't touched this series...
