It wouldn't be a Nintendo console without a Zelda title, and the Nintendo Switch 2 keeps that tradition alive with a surprising twist. During today's Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that Koei Tecmo is developing a new installment in the Hyrule Warriors series: a prequel to Tears of the Kingdom titled Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. This exciting new game is set to launch this winter.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is the latest addition to the Hyrule Warriors series, featuring characters from the ancient history sections of Tears of the Kingdom. Players will once again control Zelda, alongside key figures such as Rauru, Sonia, and other Secret Stone holders. The game delves into Zelda's journey after she travels back in time, where she allies with the last Zonai, Rauru, his sister Mineru, and his wife Sonia, to battle Ganondorf and his forces.

The trailer showcased the unique abilities of these champions, featuring Mineru piloting a mech, Zelda wielding her magic, Rauru with his distinctive sword-spear, and glimpses of other Sacred Stone wielders in action.
This marks the third entry in the Hyrule Warriors series, following the original Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which served as a prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Age of Calamity offered a fresh perspective on the events leading up to Breath of the Wild, earning a 9/10 rating from us for being "a joy to play and discover" and "a blast from start to finish." It will be fascinating to see if Age of Imprisonment also takes a creative detour in its storytelling.
