"Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Revealed for Nintendo Switch 2"

Apr 18,25(2 months ago)

It wouldn't be a Nintendo console without a Zelda title, and the Nintendo Switch 2 is no exception, though it came in a form we weren't expecting. During today's Nintendo Direct, we learned that Koei Tecmo is developing a new Hyrule Warriors game: a Tears of the Kingdom prequel titled Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. It's set to launch this winter.

PlayHyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is the latest addition to the Hyrule Warriors series, this time focusing on the characters from the ancient history segments of Tears of the Kingdom. The game features Zelda alongside Rauru, Sonia, and other Secret Stone holders. It narrates the tale of Zelda's actions during the events of Tears of the Kingdom after she journeyed back in time, where she allied with the last Zonai, Rauru, his sister Mineru, and his wife Sonia, to combat Ganondorf and his forces.

This marks the third installment in the Hyrule Warriors series, following the original Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which also served as a prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Age of Calamity stood out by offering a slightly unexpected narrative twist on the story of Breath of the Wild, making it exciting to see if Age of Imprisonment will follow suit with its own unique storytelling. We awarded Age of Calamity a 9/10, praising it as "a joy to play and discover" and "a blast from start to finish."
