The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was announced during the June Nintendo Direct and fans are buzzing! It’s not just a new game in the series, we’ll also get to take on the role of Princess Zelda. While fans of the series are excited to explore Hyrule as Zelda, lovers of link will also be pleased. As reported by the recently published ESRB rating of the game, Link will still be playable in the upcoming action-adventure title. Below is the ESRB description of the game:
This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of Zelda as she seeks to dispel the cracks in Hyrule and save Link. From a 3/4-overhead perspective, players explore various environments while battling stylized enemies (e.g., humans, creatures). As Link, players use a sword and arrows to defeat enemies; Zelda can use a magic wand to summon creatures (e.g., wind-up knights, pig soldiers, slime) for battle. Some enemies can be defeated by being set on fire; other creatures dissolve into mist when defeated. Battle sequences are rather frenetic, with multiple enemies attacking/fighting simultaneously.
Here’s how Nintendo describe the game:
Save the kingdom of Hyrule, this time with the wisdom of Princess Zelda, in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom for Nintendo Switch. The inhabitants of Hyrule are disappearing, swallowed up by strange rifts that have suddenly appeared, and among the victims is also a certain swordsman. So, it’s up to Princess Zelda to step into action to save her kingdom. Team up with the mysterious fairy Tri and use the power of Tri’s staff to learn how to create replicas, which are reproductions of the characters and objects you encounter in the world. Once you’ve learned the technique, you can create replicas at any time to solve puzzles and defeat enemies.
Release Date
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will release on September 26 for Nintendo Switch. Keep following us for more information.
