Story

Zelda following Rauru and Sonia

Main article: Imprisoning War

Age of Imprisonment is set in the ancient past of Hyrule during the Era of Myth, a time period so distant that the veracity of its recorded events are uncertain. It follows Zelda's journey in the past as she meets with her ancestors, Rauru and Sonia, who welcome her to the Ancient Hyrule Castle atop the Great Plateau.

Rauru alongside the Six Sages

While Zelda learns to control her powers over Time, the Gerudo King Ganondorf attacks, beginning the Imprisoning War documented in the ancient records of the Royal Family of Hyrule. To combat Ganondorf's army of Monsters, Rauru appoints the leaders of the various peoples of Hyrule as Sages, granting each of them a Secret Stone that amplifies their abilities.

Timeline Placement

Following its reveal, the official press release for Age of Imprisonment stated that it is canonical, indicating that it has an official placement on the Zelda Timeline. It is the first spinoff game to be included alongside the main series titles in this way. Its events take place during the Era of Myth long predating the 10,000-Year-Old Calamity, in an age where the truth of any surviving written records cannot be distinguished from legend.

Development

Age of Imprisonment was announced on April 2, 2025 as part of a Nintendo Direct dedicated to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2.
