We have an official compilation ideal for the undecided! We are talking about the new Nintendo Direct presentation in June. That presentation was confirmed along with the announcement of Nintendo Switch 2 and now, after knowing the details of that Direct, we have news about one of the announcements of the presentation: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, which is now available along with a new SwitchLite.
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
After learning about its possible link with another game in the franchise, as well as its compatibility with amiibo along with its price, download size and languages, we saw an extensive presentation trailer with tons of details.
Now, after knowing that there is amiibo restock on the way, as well as what these figures are for in the game, we have already tried it. After these impressions, as well as the confirmation of the demo in stores, Nintendo has shared a compilation answering frequently asked questions from fans. You can see it below:
What is this game about? (And where is Link?!)
Mysterious rifts have opened up all over Hyrule (imagine deep purple holes emanating a strange energy) and are engulfing its inhabitants and the land. After a confrontation with Ganon, Link himself was swallowed by a breach. But before he fades away, Link manages to free Zelda!
Worried about her kingdom, Zelda must now investigate the breaches and discover what is happening. Luckily she won’t be alone, because she will join an ethereal being called Tri who will provide her with Tri’s powerful scepter.
But if we don’t have Link, we don’t have the sword either?
In this game, sword fighting is not the main way to defeat enemies (although there is a powerful sword form that Zelda can briefly transform into). However, Zelda is not helpless, she can cause all kinds of chaos in incredibly creative ways…
Clear it up once and for all. Are you implying that this game is like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?
Not exactly, but just like the previous game, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is about the creativity that comes from your decisions and choices.
If you’ve only played The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you might be surprised to discover that the mechanics, graphics style, and enemies in the games in this series may be different. . This new installment incorporates mechanics from past games (including classics like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past) and also introduces new mechanics.
In the game The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom the replicas are of great importance. Zelda will be able to use Tri’s scepter to create “replicas” (or copies) of certain objects and enemies found in Hyrule. For example, you can try something as simple as creating a replica of a rock and then using it to throw at an enemy. Or you can create replicas of flying monsters and use them to attack the enemy as a swarm. Or distract an enemy with a piece of meat, create a hole behind them… and then push them away. Or set fire to the brush to get rid of a whole group of enemies. If something occurs to you, try it, it might work!
The same idea also applies to the game’s challenges. There are multiple ways to solve challenges using your replicas… You can even solve them in totally impractical ways!
Understood. But… what is the most effective combination of replicas? If they tell me, I won’t tell anyone.
Mmm… We can’t tell you because in reality in this game there is no single solution. It’s about accumulating a variety of replicas, learning how to use them, and experimenting with them to find tactics or solutions that you find fun or implausible. Author’s Note: But I loved causing chaos at the beginning of the game with a bounce…
Well… And what else can Zelda do in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom?
Two functions that you will use a lot are “link” and “reverse link”. By using bind you can make objects or enemies follow Zelda’s movements and change their position (very useful when pushing enemies off cliffs). The reverse link is similar, but in this case Zelda will follow the movements of the objects. Therefore, if you see a platform moving above you, you can use Inverted Link to link with it and move in the same direction.
As if this were not enough, Zelda is an excellent jumper and is incredibly strong (we believe she exercises daily).
For those who enjoy* cutting grasses and flowers, there is a rotating motion that can be used to get your lawn more than ready for the next party.
And let’s not forget the powerful swordswoman mode (which we mentioned earlier) that allows Zelda to use a flashy sword for short periods of time.
And what can we do in Hyrule?
As expected, there are many places to visit and characters to meet. As you investigate the breach problem, you’ll travel to different villages, talk to their inhabitants, and take on side quests to help them. You can discover different outfits with different attributes, help Dampé create automatons, find ingredients to make juices, find ways to get stronger, and more.
Oh, and as you investigate more breaches, you’ll drop into dungeons and places that match the style of the place you’re in. And there you must explore different rooms, defeat enemies, solve puzzles, find keys, open doors and face bosses!
Oh, there are dungeons too?!
