One The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom player suffered what seemed like the ultimate tragedy in losing a 250-hour, 82% complete save file. But it turns out there's a fate even worse: getting that save file back.

is set directly after the events of as its sequel, but aside from that, its position on the larger timeline for the franchise is unclear. Of course, this isn't unusual when it comes to games, considering how convoluted even the official timeline is, especially since it splits into three branches. But there are some events included in that raise questions about how they might affect the events of other games.
takes place across thousands of years, featuring both present day Hyrule and the time period when the first king and queen of Hyrule lived. The segments regarding the distant path are seen through Zelda's Dragon Tear memories, which Link collects around the map using the locations of geoglyphs. However, having the narrative split across such a long time period combined with the names of events that happened during them could potentially muddle similar events that are mentioned in other games.
The Imprisoning War is an event that appears more than once in history.

There are multiple ways that having two events with the same name can be seen. The book, which talks about the design of says that the game is set so far in the future from other games that the events of those past games have been largelyforgotten and turned into legends by that point. By that logic,the Imprisoning War in could use that name based on what might be seen as no more than a legend to the people of Hyrule. Therefore, it doesn't necessarily contradict the Imprisoning War from the era of.
Alternatively, the same name could've been used to show that the timeline is cyclical, or that it doesn't matter in the end. official timeline is full of contradictions and notoriously
