you thought Nintendo Will the Switch just release remakes and second-rate games until a successor finally emerges? Guess again. during the Nintendo Direct stream on Tuesday, the company unveiled a brand new Legend of Zelda game. Nintendo is making a long-held dream of many fans come true here, as you’ll be able to play as Zelda in a Legend of Zelda title (as opposed to something like this). Super Smash Bros. Ultimate).
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom It opens with Link defeating Ganon, where most Zelda games end. But just as he frees Princess Zelda, our regular hero slips through a rift and into an alternate dimension. This flips the script, because now we have Zelda to save Hyrule (and her tunic-wearing cohort, too, I guess).
Like the best Zelda games, this one is played in a top-down perspective, and it borrows from the game’s art style. Link’s Awakening to do again. Series producer Eiji Aonuma said his team wanted to create a new gameplay style for the Zelda game as well.
Rather than holding a sword, Zelda’s main tool is called the trirod. With this, he can copy many elements and use these “sounds” to travel the world. It brings some sandbox puzzle solving elements Tears of the kingdom for Echoes of wisdom. In battle, you can throw echoing items at enemies and even create echoes of monsters to fight for Zelda.
You won’t have to wait long to get your hands on the game and try it all out for yourself. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Coming to Nintendo Switch on September 26th. A Hyrule-themed Nintendo Switch Lite will launch on the same day.
