Fans are eagerly anticipating The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom for the chance to finally play as Princess Zelda after years of being Link. Nevertheless, Link still plays a role in the game, indicating that he is still playable in some way.
The ESRB has given the game an E10+ rating due to fantasy violence, with a brief description of the combat styles of both Zelda and Link on the official page. Link uses a sword and arrows to battle enemies, while Zelda wields a Tri Rod that summons creatures.
Echoes of Wisdom focuses on helping Zelda rescue Link, although the extent to which you can play as Link remains uncertain. The announcement trailer from Nintendo Direct in June hints at a potential prologue involving Link’s rescue attempt. It’s possible that players will switch between the two characters as the story unfolds.
Additional details from the ESRB page and the trailer suggest typical Legend of Zelda gameplay mechanics, such as summoning creatures and using special abilities to solve puzzles. The core mechanic of the game seems to revolve around these features. Echoes of Wisdom is set to release on September 26 for the Nintendo Switch.
