The next The Legend of Zelda game is coming up sooner than we thought. Revealed during the recent Nintendo Direct, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is set to launch on September 26 and this time we’ll be saving Hyrule while playing as the titular princess. That’s right, we finally get to play as Zelda in a Zelda game (we don’t talk about The Wand of Gamelon).
From what we’ve seen so far, Echoes of Wisdom is using the chibi aesthetic from the 2019 remake of Link’s Awakening, and the gameplay seems to revolve around a mysterious staff called the Tri Rod, which Zelda can use to create copies of objects and creatures. Zelda can call on these “echoes” to solve puzzles and fight monsters.
Nintendo is also releasing a new Zelda-themed Switch Lite alongside Echoes of Wisdom. The golden Hyrule Edition Switch Lite will drop on the game’s release day, decorated with the Hylian Crest in all its glory.
Here’s where you can preorder The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and the Hyrule Edition Switch Lite.
