Is Zelda Becoming the Hero in "The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom?"
Yep, that's right - Princess Zelda takes the spotlight in the newest Zelda game! You're not dreaming. In this Zelda game, it's not Link who is doing the saving. Instead, Link needs to be rescued by Princess Zelda - crazy right?
Why is Zelda Becoming a Hero?
- It might sound shocking to those Zelda fans who remember Princess Zelda being stuck as a 'damsel in distress.' That's exactly what happened in the earlier games, but they are changing things up, a bit!
- You've got to see how far Zelda has come! You can check it out if you go all the way back in the Zelda franchise - she went from being kind of a princess who had to get saved to actually fighting Ganon, and that happened way back in Ocarina of Time.
- She didn't just chill while Link did all the fighting in The Wind Waker, either. Zelda was actually super involved in the game! She was taking down Ganon with arrows and arrows. The real Zelda protagonist!
What Made This Happen?
- We gotta say, it was the big changes to how The Legend of Zelda games were made, especially after the amazing Breath of the Wild! Those open worlds, where Zelda wasn’t just a damsel to save, were really big steps to making the Princess much more involved! Tears of the Kingdom had her do even more things!
- You might also remember how important Zelda was in those earlier games like Spirit Tracks and even those awesome spin-offs like Hyrule Warriors!
Why Does Zelda Have to Rescue Link This Time?
- The game has a really cool trailer where you actually see Link win the big fight against Ganon - which usually ends the story! But in this one - it’s the beginning. Link’s in a tricky situation where he needs saving! Now we're seeing Zelda stepping in to get things sorted! You can bet this change of pace will make a lot of people think differently!
- Zelda looks ready to fight, and is wearing Link's cape as she heads off to rescue him - talk about changing up things!
The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom sounds like it's a really cool way to mix things up in this game. You know, The Legend of Zelda series is all about epic adventure - and they definitely know how to deliver an amazing game - which makes fans really excited to see what will come next in the world of Hyrule.
