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.
