Those Zelda 2025 leaks are probably just Age of Imprisonment, right?
I woke up this morning to the strangest "leak" news I've heard in a while, with reports of a secret Nintendo event hosting mock-ups of Switch 2 presentations and a reported Zelda 2025 placeholder on so many pictures.
These pictures and videos have, of course, been taken down by Nintendo Ninjas overnight. But that hasn't stopped many content creators and publications talking about them (I guess now I'm included in that) spewing rumors of an unannounced Zelda game coming this year that Nintendo is 'going to show off at Summer Game Fest' among other clickbait titles.
And as I sat there scrolling through everything, I had to wonder—did everyone forget about Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment?

That's the big Zelda title coming in 2025, and it was announced during the Switch 2 presentation event. It's set as a prequel to Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom an d is likely the big Zelda 2025 title that the event mentioned. It's no surprise most folks hadn't talked about it; the only people who seem to be talking about it are the ones who have apparently forgotten the game's existence.
Are we really stretched for content at the moment, where we are forgetting games on purpose in hopes of driving clicks? I get a lot of people don't remember every game coming out, but come on now.
Now, what is interesting to come out of this is conversations on Reddit threads that have likened the leaked text to Echoes of Wisdom text font, with some speculating that Echoes could get a Switch 2 expansion or extra content akin to Mario Party Jambooree , and I don't dispute that idea. But a new Zelda game that isn't Age of Imprisonment ? I find the chances very unlikely.
I'll tell you what! If a new Zelda game releases by the end of the year that isn't a remake, DLC, or remaster (or heck, Zelda: Wind Waker on Gamecube virtual console could even count as Zelda 2025 at this rate), I will eat my Tunic. You can hold me to that, Destructoid.
