Nintendo has shared a new trailer for Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, which is out on Nintendo Switch 2 in the coming weeks.
Developed by Koei Tecmo Games with support from Nintendo, the game will tell the untold story from Hyrule’s distant past of the Imprisoning War that led up to the events of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
King Rauru and Princess Zelda must lead a desperate defence against an invasion that will determine the fate of the kingdom. The very survival of Hyrule and its people rests on the courage of heroes willing to stand together against Ganondorf’s legion. Among the various characters you’ll meet within the story are new faces like Calamo, a boisterous Korok wandering Hyrule in search of a place to put down roots, and the Mysterious Construct, who can transform and take to the skies.
You’ll also encounter more familiar figures during your adventure. Alongside Princess Zelda, you will get to know the legendary Sages, including Agraston, the worldly chief of the Gorons, the courageous Zora queen Qia, and Raphica, the quick-witted leader of the Rito.
To defend the kingdom, these heroes must form a united front against Ganondorf’s invasion. By having two characters work together, you can unleash powerful Sync Strikes to give yourself an edge in combat. Different character combinations will produce different kinds of Sync Strikes, such as granting characters buffs or creating constructs you can control. Trying out different pairs can lead to devastating blows to the opposition.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will be released at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 worldwide on 6 November 2025.
