We have new details about Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom for Nintendo Switch

Aún quedan un par de meses hasta poder disfrutar de ‘The legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’, que nos permitirá controlar por primera vez a la princesa Zelda, pero, por fin, tenemos más datos sobre él… Y se viene juegazo.

How can you give me such an evil look when I tell you the game I’m most excited about in a world full of triple-A games and indies eager to change everything is a top-down game based on a saga that refuses to be obvious even after so many decades? There are still a couple of months before we can enjoy ‘The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’, which will allow us to control Princess Zelda for the first time. Well, we finally have more information about it… And it’s going to be a great game.

Echoes of an incredible game

The trailer assured us that Link would disappear very soon from the adventure and from that moment, we’d have to rescue him with the princess’s copying power, but the truth is we’ll also be able to control our favorite hero, at least for a while. Thanks to the age-rating system, we know that when we play with Link, we can “use a sword and arrows to defeat enemies”. Try to recover from the shock of that crazy idea.

It’s probably just the game’s prologue, which will serve to give way to Zelda, but we don’t know if there’ll be interludes or even a powerful final battle in which Link returns. It cannot be said that the age rating has revealed much more, apart from the use of magic by a princess Zelda that we will control for the first time… on a Nintendo console.

And it’s worth remembering that in the CD-i games ‘Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon’ and ‘Zelda’s Adventure’, the green-clad adventurer was put to the side to focus on the future queen of Hyrule. No, they’re not canon (fortunately), but Nintendo has had 30 years to get their act together. Let’s hope, at least, it was worth it.

‘The Legend of Zelda’ triumphs once again and becomes the most desired game of the season

Pero hay un futuro lanzamiento que los ha eclipsado a todos. Y no importa que sea cenital, que no tenga la profundidad de los últimos títulos de la saga ni las quejas previsibles y tiquismiquis de unos pocos.

Sometimes it seems like we have more games we want to play than free time to do it. Just in the next few months, titles like ‘World of Warcraft: The War Within’, ‘Star Wars Outlaws’, ‘Astro Bot’, ‘Silent Hill 2 Remake’, and ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’, which are not few, will be accumulating on our shelf. But there’s a future release that has overshadowed them all. And it doesn’t matter if it’s top-down, if it doesn’t have the depth of the latest titles in the saga or the predictable and nitpicky complaints of some.

For Hyrule!

I’m talking, of course, about ‘The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’, which already dominates the most desired and most anticipated games lists. According to IGN Playlist, which usually gets it right, in second place is ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ and in third place is ‘Astro Bot’, leaving ‘Gears of War: E-Day’ off the podium. It’s been 38 years since the release of the first ‘Zelda’ on NES, and if one thing is clear, it is that the audience always wants more.

Everything seems to suggest, moreover, that the Nintendo Switch end-of-party fireworks (accompanied by sagas like ‘Metroid’, ‘Mario Party’, and ‘Mario & Luigi’) will make the audience want to keep playing Nintendo instead of forgetting about the company after a few months of abandonment (as it easily could have done).

In fact, ‘Mario & Luigi: Fraternal Connection’ is ranked 6th on the list, ‘Metroid Prime 4: Beyond’ is in 10th place, ‘Super Mario Party Jamboree’ is in 19th place, and much further down, ‘Donkey Kong Country Returns HD’ is in the 24th spot. There are always those who want to declare Nintendo dead, but over the past four decades, there is only one absolute truth in the world of video games: never believe Nintendo is finished.

Where does the new Zelda fit in the timeline? Fans have been looking at the clues

Finally, all the pieces of the puzzle have come together: after the new Princess Peach game following 18 years without her own title, Nintendo has now announced that the protagonist of ‘The Legend of Zelda’ will finally be playable beyond ‘Super Smash Bros.’

Finally, all the puzzle pieces have come together: after Princess Peach’s new game after 18 years without having her own, Nintendo has now announced that the protagonist of ‘The legend of Zelda’ will finally be playable beyond ‘Super Smash Bros’. And of course, among the multiple memes from the community (which has suggested that it should be called, for once, ‘The legend of Link’), a question has arisen: Where does ‘Echoes of Wisdom’ fit within the already complex chronology of the saga?

Ven a salvar a la princesa Zelda

At the moment we only have a few minutes of trailer that have focused on the main plot and the main ability of Zelda (copying objects and even enemies), but for some it has been enough to find all the clues that lead to the solution of the enigma. The biggest hint is that it seems to use the same map as ‘A Link to the past’ and ‘A Link between worlds’. In fact, it is literally the same design in the parts we have been able to see. It is true that some places are unpublished but it is probably because the map will be expanded and not because it is located before or after.

Therefore, the game takes place in the timeline where the hero is defeated in ‘Ocarina of Time’ and where there are also games like ‘Oracle of Seasons/Ages’, ‘Link’s Awakening’, ‘Triforce Heroes’ and the first two games that started it all, ‘The Legend of Zelda’ and ‘The Legend of Link’. Some would be satisfied with this, but fans have gone further by noticing that both versions of the Zora, river and sea, appear in one scene. Until now, they had only been seen together in one game: ‘Oracle of Ages’.

And while in that title they didn’t seem to know each other, in the trailer we can see them chatting calmly. At first glance, there is no doubt: ‘Echoes of wisdom’ takes place shortly after ‘Oracle of ages’. That being said, Nintendo doesn’t really care about the saga’s timeline (neither does Eiji Aonuma, the creator of ‘Zelda’), so it’s most likely that even after the release we won’t have official news about where it fits. If it overwhelms you, think that not even its creators care too much, maybe you shouldn’t think about it too much!
