The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom available now

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom launched on Nintendo Switch Today. In this latest game in the Legend of Zelda series, the people of Hyrule are being stolen away by strange rifts that have appeared throughout the land. Accompanied by an ethereal creature called Tri, Princess Zelda begins her grand adventure to save her kingdom, equipped only with the Tri Rod and her wisdom. 

Features:  

Echoes: Using the Tri Rod, Zelda can create echoes – imitations of things found in the environment. Echoes can then be recreated to solve puzzles and can be combined for creative problem-solving, like using water blocks to reach new heights, making bridges out of old beds, throwing rocks at foes and more. Zelda can even create echoes of monsters to fight by her side in combat.  

Bind & Reverse Bond: When creating echoes isn’t enough, Tri can lend Zelda a peculiar power called Bind, making objects follow Zelda’s movements. Alternatively, Reverse Bond allows Zelda to follow an object’s movements. Using these abilities, players can find multiple ways to overcome obstacles and solve puzzles.  

Still World: To rescue those stolen away by the rifts, Zelda and Tri must enter the Still World – a strange, distorted landscape. Each entry point leads to a distinctive area with unique terrains. In some locations, they’ll even find dungeons to conquer featuring challenging bosses who await their arrival.  

Swordfighter form: While exploring the Still World, Zelda will find a mysterious sword allowing her to transform into a powerful Swordfighter form for a short time and battle enemies head-on. With its mighty power, she can forge ahead when her path is blocked, strike down enemies on her own, and even battle alongside echoes.  

Automatons: Hyrule is also home to many quirky characters and some of them will be of great help – for example, Dampé, an engineer of clockwork gizmos, has a knack for creating automatons. These unusual machines can aid Zelda by unleashing powerful effects.  

Additional features include horse riding, Waypoints to make travelling across Hyrule even faster, an Adventure Log to track quests, Smoothies with different effects, outfits and accessories enhancing certain abilities and more.  

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom launches on Thursday, 26th September for Nintendo Switch. The game follows Princess Zelda on her quest to save Hyrule with the help of ethereal creature Tri. Zelda and Tri will use new powers to explore the vast kingdom, battle monsters, conquer dungeons, and solve the riddle of the rifts.
