Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment announced during Switch 2 Direct

As a gaming enthusiast, I was thrilled when Nintendo unveiled the latest installment of The Legend of Zelda series during the Switch 2 Direct presentation. Catching a glimpse into Link’s upcoming journey filled me with excitement for the challenges and adventures that await!

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is the second installment in the Hyrule Warriors franchise, set amidst the Imprisoning War. The name itself foreshadows Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, providing crucial background story for the main series.

From the footage, it looks as though players will get to take control of Princess Zelda, 

In their battle against Gandorf’s troops, King Rauru, Mineru, and the six revered Sages manage to imprison him instead.

King Rauru, Mineru, and the six ancient Sages engage in a fierce struggle with Gandorf’s armies. In the end, they succeed in trapping him.

Both sentences convey the same meaning while using different wordings for readability and variety.
