The Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment pre-order gift is pretty dull, but the Zelda nerd in me wants it anyway

Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment pre-orders are primed and ready to go. While there's less than a month away from release, you still have plenty of time to grab the upcoming Switch 2 game before its November 6 release date.

The Legend of Zelda game is a Switch 2 exclusive, so there's less confusion over which version to buy this time around. And if you're desperate for its pre-order bonus, your options are also pretty straightforward. The latest game in the Hyrule Warriors series comes with a free Age of Imprisonment notebook, but only if you manage to grab a pre-order for £66.99 at Nintendo and only in the UK.

If you got your Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment pre-order in before the notebook dropped, don't fret. Nintendo announced (via Twitter) that orders will "automatically be upgraded" to include the funky bit of Zelda stationary, which features Ganondorf and Zelda on either side as they appear in the game.

For those of you in the US, there are no pre-order goodies to take advantage of so far. That's a bit of a bummer, but there's a chance that could change closer to launch day. At least the full game is available on the Switch 2 cart if you're going down the physical route, which is better than nothing. Just make sure to play Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom before moving on to this hack 'n' slash adventure so you can remain spoiler-free.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
