Time Travel in Hyrule: Make or Break for Age of Imprisonment

For people not familiar, the “Hyrule Warriors” series is a spin-off from the “Legend of Zelda” games, blending with Koei Tecmo’s “Warriors” series. This fusion appears to be a winning combo for both franchises, and “Age of Imprisonment” is the third Hyrule-themed game in the spin-off series based on Zelda. However, while both earlier titles received acclaim, some Zelda fans were perplexed and disheartened by the non-canonical storyline of the second game, “Age of Calamity.” The controversial aspect of the third act in this game was the twist involving heroes from the current Hyrule era traveling back in time to assist in the war that destroyed the original timeline. Given that time travel is a key element in “Age of Imprisonment,” one can’t help but wonder if a similar plot twist could steer this game towards a similar path.
