One of the first new The Legend of Zeida series games to come to the Switch 2 will be Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, a new entry in the Warriors spin-offs of Musou action games. To help prepare for that and share insights into its development, a new Nintendo Creator’s Voice video featured Koei Tecmo Producer Ryota Matsushita and AAA Games Studio Head Yosuke Hayashi discussing the title. Both shared a bit about their background before discussing the game, and they confirmed it will both show the Imprisoning War and what life was like for Zelda when she was sent back through time during the events of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. 

First, Matsushita and Hayashi discussed how Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment won’t just focus on the one versus 1,000 battles during the war against the original version of Ganondorf in the Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom games, but also the life of Zelda in that time period and her experiences with the four Masked Sages. However, the two also emphasized that the new hardware meant it will be possible for many more enemies to appear on the field at once, increase frame rates, and add to “realism.” 

Here’s the full Creator’s Voice video discussing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment for the Switch 2 on YouTube. 

In case you missed the initial announcement during the April 2025 Nintendo Direct, here’s that trailer:

Nintendo announced the third Hyrule Warriors title as part of the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. Titled Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, the experience will act as essentially a prequel to The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Players will be able to hack-and-slash through the Imprisoning War in Hyrule’s past.

Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment will launch sometime in Winter 2025 for the Nintendo Switch 2, with no specific release date revealed at this time, unfortunately. That said, players will be able to take on the role of Zelda and other characters in the past as part of this experience to hack-and-slash their way through hundreds of enemies on massive battlefields.

The story itself will detail the Imprisoning War that is referenced quite a bit in the main story of Tears of the Kingdom. Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, developed by Koei Tecmo, will allow players to see Zelda’s time in the past when it launches later this year.

Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 in Winter 2025.
