The Legend of Zelda is getting a brand-new entry but you won’t be playing as Link

EVERYONE who loves Nintendo has played a game from The Legend of Zelda series, and each time they took on the role of Link.

However, Nintendo will soon release a new entry in the series where you can play as a much-asked-for character.

For the first time in the mainline Legend of Zelda games you’ll be able to play as the titular princess.

In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Link becomes trapped and it is up to Princess Zelda to save him and the other inhabitants of Hyrule.

While Link uses a sword, Zelda will wield the Tri Rod which has the ability to copy items in the overworld.

These Echoes can be created wherever you want, meaning you can use this power to overcome environmental puzzles and explore dungeons.

Without a sword, Zelda will need to use gadgets and nearby items like rocks to defeat enemies, but she can also make Echoes from them so they turn on each other.

While Link’s power is based on his courage, Zelda’s is based on her wisdom making this the perfect weapon for her to use.

Fans have been asking for a Zelda game where you can play as the titular character for decades, and it seems their prayers have finally been answered.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom features the cute chibi art style and top-down view last showcased in the Link’s Awakening remake.

There’s not long to wait until the next Zelda game is released. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will launch on September 26, 2024 exclusively for Nintendo Switch.
