It seems, then, thatthe newHyrule Warriorswill follow Zelda’s journey back in time during the events ofTOTK.

“Age of Imprisonment” likely refers to the Imprisoning War, an ancient event in theZeldacanon.

Therfore,the newHyrule Warriorsalmost certainly takes place during the Imprisoning War, very early on theZeldatimeline.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s Link thinking with a sand-filled dungeon in the background.

However, when exactly the Imprisoning War took place isn’t totally clear.

SoAge of Imprisonmentcertainly comes beforeA Link to the Past, but beyond that, it’s impossible to say.
