Hands On Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Brings Tantalising Creativity To The 2D Template
Echo, Echo, Echo, what's going on here?
It’s fairly safe to say that everyone was pretty jazzed when Nintendo announced The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. We haven’t had a new top-down Zelda game since 2013’s A Link Between Worlds, assuming of course you don’t count Tri Force Heroes, and if that was your mindset, we wouldn't entirely...
About The Game
Save the kingdom of Hyrule—this time with the wisdom of Princess Zelda!
The people of Hyrule are being stolen away by strange rifts that have appeared—and with a certain swordsman among the missing, it’s up to Princess Zelda to save her kingdom in a brand-new The Legend of Zelda™ story!
Team up with the mysterious fairy, Tri, and use the Tri Rod to create “echoes”, which are imitations of things you find in the environment—then recreate those echoes whenever you like to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Create echoes like water blocks to reach new heights, make bridges out of old beds, throw rocks at foes—or find your own creative combination of echoes to do things your way. You can even create echoes of monsters to fight at your side in combat!

Shouldn't this be called The Legend of Link?
@Mortenb great observation.
@Mortenb Very clever. I like that a lot.
It’s a shame it’s a Zelda game and needs to not be complicated by a name change but it might have been nice. I wonder if anyone at Nintendo thought of it?
How is everyone liking this? Have a long flight coming up and was looking for a physical copy game
