Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is a hack-and-slash action game developed by Koei Tecmo Games, released in 2025 for Nintendo Switch 2. Set in the distant past of Hyrule, it depicts the full-scale war against Demon King Ganondorf that received only passing mention in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Players control a roster of characters including Princess Zelda, King Rauru, Mineru, the Sages, and several new heroes, each with distinct signature abilities. Combat takes place across large battlefields filled with enemy legions and powerful bosses drawn from Ganondorf's invading forces. A central mechanic involves integrating Zonai Devices into battle, allowing players to augment their characters' attacks and adapt their approach against different opponents. The game expands on established Tears of the Kingdom lore by giving narrative form to events that previously existed only as background history within that title.
