During Tuesday’s Nintendo Direct stream, the corporate revealed a brand-new Legend of Zelda recreation. Nintendo is making many followers’ long-held goals come true right here, as you may get to play as Zelda herself in a Legend of Zelda title (versus one thing like Tremendous Smash Bros. Final).
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Knowledge opens the place most Zelda video games end, with Hyperlink defeating Ganon. However simply as he frees Princess Zelda, our normal hero is sucked by way of a rift into an alternate dimension. That flips the script, because it’s now all the way down to Zelda to rescue Hyrule (and her tunic-wearing cohort too, I suppose).
Like one of the best Zelda video games, this one’s performed in a top-down perspective and it borrows the artwork fashion of the Link’s Awakening remake. Sequence producer Eiji Aonuma mentioned his crew needed to create a brand new gameplay fashion for a Zelda recreation too.
Somewhat than wielding a sword, Zelda’s principal instrument is known as a trirod. With this, she will be able to copy many objects and use these “echoes” to navigate the world.

In fight, you may hurl echoed objects at enemies, and even create echoes of monsters to battle for Zelda.
You will not have to attend too lengthy to get your arms on the sport and take a look at all of this out for your self. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Knowledge is coming to the Nintendo Change on September 26. A Hyrule-themed Nintendo Change Lite will likely be out there on the identical day.
