A 2D game that takes the aesthetics of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening from Nintendo Switch, and that in a display of personality and originality puts us in the shoes of Princess Zelda in her attempt to save Hyrule. The creativity and all the magic seen in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom in a 2D game that aims very high.
What is The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom about? Fading, rifts have appeared across Hyrule. Many people have vanished, including Link himself. At that moment Zelda meets the mysterious tri fairy, it is there where he obtains Tri’s scepter, a mysterious object with which he will travel through Hyrule to save his own kingdom. How does Tri’s scepter work? In the presentation we have been shown how by shaking it in front of a Zelda table she will create a replica of that same object. The moment we memorize a replica we can use it at any time, and for example if a wall blocks our path we will have the option of creating replicas of tables to advance, thus giving a large number of possibilities to our adventure. Wooden crates, old beds and such unusual things as water blocks. We can use these replicas individually or in combination, so it is important to memorize and create replicas of everything we find throughout Hyrule.
Creativity to power in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
The combats completely change what is usual within the Zelda saga, using stones in our favor and against our enemies, which we can use as replicas, thus using the monsters in our favor, fighting them at our side. Monsters have different abilities, so it will be important to use the most convenient ones depending on the situation.
As its title says, wisdom is key in this new installment of The Legend of Zelda that brings the creativity of its latest 3D installments to the most classic 2D aspect of the saga. Endless possibilities that we can use to our advantage as we advance in the adventure.
