During the recent Nintendo Partner Direct, a new trailer for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment was revealed, sparking much speculation among fans. The trailer showcased a scene where a Construct is being assembled and could hint at the arrival of Robo-Link. As a spin-off set thousands of years before Tears of the Kingdom, it’s intriguing since Link technically didn’t exist during that period. Some fans believe this Construct could allow Link's presence through alternate timelines or incarnations. Additionally, a subtle musical cue from Skyward Sword's Fi's Theme has led to speculation regarding Fi's return in the game. As fans eagerly await further details, the release is expected sometime this winter for the Nintendo Switch 2.
