The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom gameplay

The nearly five minute gameplay trailer that came out during the Nintendo Direct had fans of the series extremely excited at what’s to come. Instead of using Link’s Master Sword, players will use the power of the Tri Rod to create copies of objects and enemies to defeat foes and solve puzzles.

“This time around, Link has vanished. Now, it’s up to Princess Zelda to step into the protagonist role,” said The Legend of Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma said in the trailer.

To create a new gameplay style different from past top-down Zelda games, Echoes of Wisdom has a 3D world feel and has Zelda getting around her environment by creating various objects and battling enemies by leading copies of enemies to fight by her side. Players will have to think critically to figure out the best ways to solve puzzles and win fights, making every playthrough different since they can be beat in different ways.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom plot

In the trailer, it’s revealed that rifts have started appearing around Hyrule that cause people to vanish. With Link lost in one of the rifts, Zelda has to use her Tri Rod and wisdom to save Link and the other people lost in the rift.
