What are Zonai devices in Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment?
Zonai Devices are tools that will give you an advantage in combat when used correctly. They each create a specific effect during combat and can go from setting your enemies on fire to blowing them away with a wind attack.
However, that being said, Zonai devices need energy to use. When used repeatedly, they have the tendency to run out of power, and you will not be able to use them. Power does not regenerate on its own for the devices, as it relies on batteries to function.
Unfortunately, batteries have limited usage, so use Zonai devices only when absolutely required. It’s best to save them for the hardest encounters that you will come across.
