‘The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom’ release window, trailer, gameplay, and more

The Legend of Zelda is one of the only video game franchises to remain near and dear to fans’ hearts with (almost) every release. New entries might rankle a few fans here and there, but as time passes, nostalgia envelops each one until it’s a part of the homogeneous whole, seen altogether through rose-colored glasses.

We don’t doubt that the recently announced The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will fall into the same category, even if the title changes one very fundamental aspect of the series. For the first time ever, Link is the one who needs saving, and gamers get the chance to play as Zelda herself.

What is Echoes of Wisdom about and when will it be released?

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom won’t drop until September 26, 2024, but the cutesy title is already sending ripples of excitement through the fanbase. The visual style mirrors the recent remake of Link’s Awakening, and series lead Eiji Aonuma promises that players will have experiences all their own, with no two likely to approach the game’s many puzzles in the same way.

While Nintendo is still relatively tight-lipped about the impending release, we do know the core premise and the all-new gameplay players will experience once the title drops. After Link is dragged down to the shadow realm when a bid to rescue Zelda goes wrong, it’s up to the princess to save her would-be-hero and the kingdom.

Unlike the chosen hero, Zelda won’t fight with a sword. Instead, Nintendo has implemented an entirely new form of gameplay. Zelda wields the Tri Rod, a magical staff that allows players to create echoes – imitations of objects, monsters, water, and all sorts of world-building prefabs. The blocks might seem familiar to anyone who’s played Minecraft, but rather than grinding for elements, the Tri Rod only needs a recipe for players to use items again and again. Or at least until Zelda’s fairy helper, Tri, runs out of juice.

Don’t worry if you’re only into video games for the love of
