Despite the Switch successor being around the corner, Nintendo’s only gone and confirmed a brand new Legend of Zelda game for Switch in which you play as Princess Zelda – Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
Talk about going out with a bang.
The new game borrows the fantastic art style of the Link’s Awakening Switch remake, but instead of playing as Link you play as Zelda – and she doesn’t use a sword and shield like her regular hero of Hyrule.
Zelda can make copies of items and enemies to fight with and solve puzzles through. It’s all rather clever, and needs to be seen to be believed. Not one playthrough will be the same, promises Nintendo.
Excited? You should be.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom release date is 26th September 2024, Nintendo has confirmed!
There’s not long to wait to play the first 'proper' Zelda game, in which you play as the titular princess (sorry CD-i games). The cute visuals and super-smart gameplay will be in your hands very soon indeed.
Yes, you can pre-order Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom through the likes of GAME and The Game Collection.
There is no collector’s edition version of the game, but Nintendo is releasing a special 'Hyrule Edition' of the Switch Lite console, which you can pre-order directly from Nintendo.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a Nintendo Switch exclusive, meaning you can only play it on the Switch.
Time will tell if a new version/enhanced port of the game will end up on the upcoming Switch successor, but for now, you can only play Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on Nintendo Switch.
Don’t expect it on PlayStation, Xbox or PC ever – that’s not something Nintendo does.
