There\u2019s no question that The Legend of Zelda franchise is one of the most beloved, with the vast majority of gamers playing at least one of the titles over the years.<\/p>\n

However, while the usual task is to fight against dark forces and save Princess Zelda, in a series-first, the roles have been reversed, allowing Zelda to do the rescuing, in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.<\/p>\n

Donning Switch<\/a>\u2019s Link\u2019s Awakening art style, Echoes of Wisdom gives the Princess the power to push back Ganon\u2019s lackeys, but not in the usual sword and shield fashion.<\/p>\n

Instead, you\u2019ll be utilizing an \u2018echoes\u2019 system, capturing the essence of various objects and enemies in the world using Zelda\u2019s Tri Rod and utilizing them to your advantage.<\/p>\n

This has a huge impact on the puzzles in the game, basically allowing you to craft the solution rather than using bombs, arrows, and simple traversal the usual top-down The Legend of Zelda games love.<\/p>\n

The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma stated that he hasn\u2019t \u201ccounted\u201d how many echoes there are in the game, suggesting that the new gameplay style isn\u2019t just innovative, it\u2019s also extremely varied.<\/p>\n

Naturally, what this means is that every single playthrough of the game will be different depending on how Echoes are used \u2013 potentially making it the most diverse TLoZ game to date.<\/p>\n

While this departure might not be what you were hoping or expecting for in the next The Legend of Zelda title, many have been asking for Zelda to be the protagonist for years, and if well-received, could open up further games of this ilk later down the line.<\/p>\n
