The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom announced, stars the titular Princess

In
a
shocking
announcement,
Nintendo
finally
realised
that
they
hadn’t
been
putting
the
right
name
on
their
long-running
Legend
of
Zelda
franchise.
Instead
of
naming
the
games
The
Legend
of
Link
after
the
iconic
mute
hero
we
normally
play
as,
they’ve
been
sticking
Zelda’s
name
on
the
box
instead!
Doh!

Obviously,
I’m
taking
the
piss,
but
it
is
kind
of
funny
that
The
Legend
of
Zelda:
Echoes
of
Wisdom
will
be
the
first
game
to
actually
star
Zelda
herself
as
the
main
character.

This
new
2D
title
will
launch
on
September
26
and
it
features
a
graphical
style
that
is
nearly
identical
to
the

Link’s
Awakening
remake
which
launched
in
2019.
Zelda
will
be
teaming
up
with
a
fairy
named
Tri
and
a
new
Trirod
tool
capable
of
copying
objects
and
creating
“echoes”
of
them
to
help
solve
puzzles.
As
an
example,
the
trailer
shows
Zelda
creating
copies
of
a
table
and
using
them
to
get
up
a
cliffside.
It
seems
previous
echoes
of
items
you’ve
come
across
will
also
be
retained.

As
for
Link,
he’s
seemingly
been
dragged
into
a
nasty
looking
portal
to
a
shadow
realm.
Sadly,
a
team
up
with
Yugi
from
Yu-Gi-Oh!
seems
unlikely
which
is
a
shame
because
Yugi
and
his
pals
would
be
the
best
source
of
help
in
any
situation
involving
shadow
realms.
