The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom[a] is an upcoming action-adventure game in The Legend of Zelda series published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch.[1] The game has the player control Princess Zelda and features an art style similar to that of the 2019 remake of Link's Awakening.

Gameplay

Players will control Princess Zelda, who can use the power of the magical Tri Rod to create and duplicate objects known as "echoes", which are imitations of objects and monsters.[1][2]

Echoes of Wisdom is the first Nintendo-developed Zelda game with Princess Zelda as the protagonist. She previously starred in the Philips CD-i spin-offs Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon (1993) and Zelda's Adventure (1996),[2] which were developed by Animation Magic and Viridis, respectively.[3]

Synopsis

While rescuing Zelda from Ganon, Link disappears after being sucked into a mysterious rift, with similar rifts appearing throughout Hyrule and causing others to disappear. With help from the mysterious fairy Tri, who gives her the Tri Rod (an artifact that can magically copy and replicate objects), Zelda sets out to save Link and Hyrule.[1][2]

Development

The game features the same art style as the Nintendo Switch remake of Link's Awakening (2019).[1]

The game was first announced on June 18, 2024, during a Nintendo Direct.[4]
