"Age of Imprisonment essentially does the exact same thing as the previous game, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, in that it's an action-focused experience that tells the prequel story to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. But it's also a sort of sequel to Age of Calamity - directly building on the systems and mechanics of that game, while integrating the unique elements of Tears of the Kingdom. What results is one of the strongest Warriors games we've seen in years, and a story that genuinely enhances Tears of the Kingdom."
"That's largely because Age of Imprisonment really hones in on the struggle of its cast of characters, and ditches all the time-travel alternate timeline mumbo jumbo of the previous game. This is a story about the desperate fight to save Hyrule itself. And, in particular, this game adds some of my absolute favorite Zelda characters of this current Zelda universe."
Age of Imprisonment is an action-focused prequel set during the Imprisoning War against Ganandorf, directly preceding Tears of the Kingdom. The narrative takes place entirely in the distant past and follows Princess Zelda as she meets King Rauru and Queen Sonia. The game emphasizes character struggles and removes the time-travel and alternate timeline elements from its predecessor. Gameplay builds on systems from Age of Calamity while integrating Tears of the Kingdom mechanics, delivering dense battles and refined Warriors combat. The experience includes unexpected aerial, fly-and-shoot sequences reminiscent of Star Fox and introduces the Mysterious Construct discovered by a Korok named Calamo.
