Echoes of Wisdom has been a huge topic of conversation since Nintendo announced the game earlier this month. Fortunately for Zelda fans looking to pre-order a digital copy of the game prior to the September 26th release date, Nintendo has now opened digital pre-orders for the game in the United States. Consumers can pre-order a digital copy of Echoes of Wisdom for $59.99 USD on Nintendo’s online storefront or by finding Echoes of Wisdom on the Nintendo eShop. According to…

Ganon’s captured Zelda, trapped her in a crystal prison, and Link’s vanished. What’s a princess to do in such a situation? Should she despair and hide? No, of course not! She bulks up and rises to the occasion. Hyrule won’t save itself, after all, and this is a tale about our titular princess. At least, that’s how the introduction to her new story plays out in this short Echoes of Wisdom-inspired animation from takatakato. After whiling away the time with…

Earlier this year, I wrote a Daily Debate about why Princess Zelda needed her own spin-off game. Now, with the announcement and release of Echoes of Wisdom later this year, that wish is coming true. I’m beyond thrilled for this spin-off. Nintendo is very wisely reusing the assets from the Link’s Awakening remake to give this game a charming visual identity, and the echo ability is perfectly in line with Zelda’s character. As I watched the announcement, I excitedly began…

While the 2024 Zelda Dungeon Marathon has sadly come to a close, we couldn’t be happier having seen the amazing generosity from everyone who donated throughout the week. We not only blew past our donation goal of $12,000 USD, but we destroyed our initial ambitions for this year with a fundraising total of $17,085.16 USD! Whether you donated during the week or were just watching to show support for the marathon throughout, we thank you very much! Every summer, the…

The trailer for the recently announced Echoes of Wisdom gave us a glimpse into how Princess Zelda will handle combat. She bears the Triforce of Wisdom, not Courage, so Link’s style of physical combat is out of the equation. Instead, Zelda will have the Tri Rod to summon objects to use against enemies, or she can summon helpers to fight in her stead. The trailer shows Zelda summoning a rock which she then throws at a monster. She is also…

Nintendo recently shocked the whole world by revealing that a new Zelda game, titled Echoes of Wisdom, is only a few months away. Now, while we wait for Princess Zelda’s journey through Hyrule to begin, it only makes sense that fans like Cormorant42 have already been showing their excitement for this title with artistic tributes, such as this chiptune cover of the game’s trailer theme. While you can clearly hear how amazing the rework is just by listening, the creator…

In this week’s Nintendo Direct, Nintendo unexpectedly dropped the bombshell that a brand-new Zelda game is coming this September. The new game is called Echoes of Wisdom, and it will be the first time Princess Zelda will be the playable protagonist in a mainline Zelda title. The Direct featured both a cinematic trailer and a gameplay showcase for a new item, the Tri Rod, so there’s a lot to unpack and even more that we still don’t know. So, let’s…

Can you believe it?! We are actually getting a title in the The Legend of Zelda series in which you play as Princess Zelda herself — I mean, a title that’s fully developed by Nintendo, at least. There are several games in which Princess Zelda is a playable character, but most are games developed by other studios in collaboration with Nintendo. The most infamous are perhaps Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda’s Adventure. Wand of Gamelon was developed by Animation…

It’s happened! We finally have a Zelda game where our favorite princess is the main protagonist! (Let’s put the CD-i game far behind us and pretend it never happened.) In Echoes of Wisdom, we get to see Princess Zelda as our leading lady and being given a chance to shine in her own element. Instead of handing her a sword and making her a female Link, she gets to show off her inherit wisdom and magic, crafting her own unique…

I don’t think any of us expected what the June Direct brought to Zelda fans: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. For the first time ever, Princess Zelda is a playable character. This hints at a trend where Nintendo could release games from its major IPs featuring beloved female characters as the protagonist, such as Princess Peach: Showtime! However, the Echoes of Wisdom trailer signaled another potentially interesting insight into the series’ future — is the art style we saw in the 2019…
