The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a 2024 action-adventure game developed by Nintendo and Grezzo and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the first main Legend of Zelda game with Princess Zelda as the main playable character.
Players control Zelda on a quest to save Link and the kingdom of Hyrule using the Tri Rod, a magical artifact provided by the fairy Tri, who assists her. The visual style is similar to that of the 2019 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, which Grezzo also developed. Echoes of Wisdom was released to generally favorable reviews.
The player controls Princess Zelda, who can use the power of the magical Tri Rod to create “echoes”, which are imitations of objects and monsters that can be used freely. However, there is a limit on how many can be summoned and each echo has a different cost; how many echoes can be created is indicated by the number of triangles visible behind Tri. She can also “bind” objects with Bond, allowing an object to move with her, or move with an object using Reverse Bond. In addition to having echoes fight enemies, Zelda can fight enemies directly by wielding a sword that transforms her into the Swordfighter form, which resembles Link. This form can only be used for a limited time before its energy must be replenished by collecting orbs of energy found in the Still World.
