We were introduced to an exciting Zelda game during this month’s Nintendo Direct. For the first time in the franchise’s history, players will step into the shoes of Princess Zelda, offering a fresh and unique perspective. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, set to release on September 26, 2024, and is now available for pre-order.
Interested players can pre-order The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom from the Nintendo Store or other retailers such as GameStop and Best Buy. The base game will cost $59.99, with no pre-order bonuses or special editions available. This means you won’t miss out on anything if you decide to pick up the game on release day. But, if you want to play the game on launch day, pre-ordering is the way to go, as the stocks might end up being sold out at certain retailers. Players will also have the option to redeem Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers while pre-ordering from the Nintendo Store.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will follow a similar art style as The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Zelda has been tasked with helping people who are being kidnapped through strange rifts. Among the kidnapped is a certain swordsman she needs to find, too. Zelda and her companion, fairy Tri, must use the Tri Rod to create Echoes to overcome all obstacles. Echoes are the new gameplay feature that can imitate objects in the environment.
Echoes can be water blocks, old beds or even rocks; players must find all types of echoes and understand how they can be used to get around Hyrule. With the help of these imitations, you will need to solve puzzles and defeat enemies that come your way. As with all the Zelda titles, there will be a lot of creative freedom as players can think up their combinations with all types of varying Echoes to get further in the story.
