Mod Post [Aoi] Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment releases in two weeks. Please read the Spoiler Policy for r/Zelda and give us your feedback about the game launch plans!
Today is Thursday, October 23rd. Age of Imprisonment releases worldwide on Thursday, November 6th. That is two weeks away. We will post another update / reminder next week which will be the Thursday before launch.
Read the Full Spoiler Policy Here:
>>> https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/wiki/rules/spoilerpolicy <<<
The link above is our wiki page that will be updated over time.
This spoiler policy applies on r/Zelda, r/ZeldaMemes, r/TrueZelda, and r/AskZelda.
Read the Highlights Here:
You are welcome to discuss the new game on r/Zelda, but you need to be responsible and use the appropriate tags so that people can navigate to or around the spoilers that they do or do not want to see.
We generally consider anything not revealed by Nintendo's marketing to be considered a spoiler, though it will eventually loosen over time.
All posts for the game must have [Aoi] in the post title
If you are discussing Age of Imprisonment, then use [Aoi] in the post title.
- Please note that [LoZ] is for the first game on the NES, that [AoL] is for the second game on the NES, and that [HW] is for the first Hyrule Warriors game on the Wii U, 3DS, and Switch.
- If you want to discuss Age of Imprisonment plus other games together, use
[Aoi][ALL]or some other combination with [Aoi] - Do not discuss Age of Imprisonment in posts that have [ALL] or [Other] if they do not also have [Aoi]
Posts with [Aoi] in the title will be automatically tagged as spoilers starting next week. This will blur the contents of the post, but not the post title or post flair.
- Read how to manually tag posts for spoilers here.
- If a moderator notices that you are repeatedly untagging your posts for spoilers, we will need to remove the post.
Do not put spoilers in your post titles
Describe your progress in the post title.
Save the details for the post body. Keep the rest of the post title vague.
[Aoi][Chapter 5 in Progress] Having trouble here, Looking for tips
[Aoi][Chapter 3] Found this interaction cute
[Aoi][Chapter 8] Wondering about these parts of the story
[Aoi][OC][No Spoilers] I just had to draw the my new favorite character!
- Some character names and abilities will be allowed in post titles (EG Ganondorf, Rauru, Secret Stone), but only if they have been revealed by Nintendo directly through their marketing or web pages. Check the wiki page for the living list (and let us know in the comments if there's anything we should add).
Tag spoiler text in comments
You can use the following format
>!text goes here!<, ex: text goes here- This only works in the body of a text post or in comments. It does NOT work in titles!
Check the progress indicated in the post title to know how far the OP is, and be sure to mark spoilers for anything past or outside of that.
Updates will happen
- We generally allow common names and items in post titles once the game is released.
- Items earned in dungeons or their equivalents are still spoilers!
- Nintendo may release information through trailers before or after the game launch, which will update our spoiler policy within a day or two.
- Leaks and reviews may contain spoilers, but will not change the spoiler policy.
- We have not heard of any leaks yet. We will allow one post that announces when leaks have happened as a PSA for spoilers, but do not post leaked material here, and do not post where or how to acquire leaked material.
Spoiling the game will lead to a ban.
- This is up to the discretion of the mod team to ensure the best experience for the rest of the community.
- First offense would be 5 days if deemed accidental. This is to prevent unknowing members from continuing to post spoilers until they read and understand the spoiler policy.
- Trolling or purposely trying to ruin the game will be either a much longer ban or permanent ban.
Report Unmarked Spoilers
Unless we restrict everything, then there will be some posts or comments that slip through.
Please report any unmarked spoilers by using the report function - this will load the post or comment into our moderator queue so that we can mark, remove, or action it as necessary.
Give us your feedback!
Let us know your thoughts on the spoiler policy and general launch plans here in the comments.
Particularly:
- We plan to have General Impressions MegaThreads in the same vein that we did for Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity, Tears of the Kingdom, and Echoes of Wisdom. We expect this game to follow a similar structure to Age of Calamity where the story is divided into segments called Chapters, but we will adapt our plans if necessary.
- We will be running an art contest over on r/ZeldaArtContest after the release of the game. Should all posts or just some be marked for spoilers? We encourage artists to cross-post their entries back to r/Zelda during the contest.
- Two months after release is New Year's, which might be another wave of new players after the major gift-giving holidays. Should we just plan to extend spoilers for the month of January or ask again when we get there?
- For those of you up-to-date on everything already published, what is missing from the wiki page?

Genuine shoutout for making the spoiler tag “Aoi” to differentiate this game from AoL.
Myself and the three other AoL fans in here are thankful for your service :).

I won’t be able to resist the temptation to avoid spoilers. It’s hard already with having the game itself, but since I’m not buying Switch 2 until 2027, might as well spoil myself away (I’m getting the game anyway)
