Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Puts Princess Zelda in the Spotlight

Nintendo's latest game marks a significant shift by featuring Princess Zelda as the main character, introducing new gameplay mechanics and a focus on creativity.

Echoes of Wisdom is the first Zelda game to star Princess Zelda, shifting the traditional focus from Link to her as the protagonist.
The game introduces a unique 'echoes' system, allowing players to clone objects and enemies to solve puzzles creatively.
Developers initially considered giving Link a speaking role, but ultimately decided against it, maintaining his iconic silence.
Despite positive reviews, players have noted issues with the game's performance on the aging Nintendo Switch and its complex menu system.
Echoes of Wisdom's success has reignited interest in developing more 2D Zelda games, alongside the franchise's 3D entries.
