Nintendo and Koei Tecmo have released Version 1.0.1 for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, arriving just ahead of the game’s official launch on the Nintendo Switch 2. This first post-launch update focuses primarily on bug fixes to improve gameplay stability and progression reliability, resolving several critical issues reported during early play sessions. Among the most significant fixes are those addressing game-stopping bugs tied to Korok discoveries in Split-Screen mode, animation-related lockups during the “Temporal Counter” move, and battle initialization errors tied to GameShare disconnections.
In addition to these fixes, the update introduces a convenient new gameplay feature—a map shortcut function that allows players to instantly access Aside Quests using the Y button from the map screen. This quality-of-life improvement streamlines navigation and quest management, helping players stay focused on large-scale battles rather than excessive menu scrolling.
