Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment review: making good use of the Zelda timeline

There’s a moment in The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker that I’ve never been able to forget. Midway through the seafaring adventure, Link discovers the remains of Hyrule Castle hidden underneath the Great Sea. Inside its walls is a battle in stasis. Moblins and Darknuts are frozen in place, locked in the midst of an assault on the castle at the behest of Ganondorf. We come to discover that it was an act of divine intervention, as the gods flooded Hyrule and placed the castle in a protective, time-freezing barrier. The moment Link pulls the Master Sword within the castle from its pedestal, everything springs to life. It’s his job to finish a battle that was first fought ages ago.
