The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Announced

You said “ they are hardly the same, “she said same in art style, she did not mention the gameplay.

We were discussing that the same art style gets used at least twice, Botw and Totk are an example.

Okay, tell me where this is said in reference to gameplay? Yes, we are discussing the art style. Majora's Mask having the same art style as Ocarina of Time makes sense because it's a direct sequel to Ocarina of Time... This is not the same as Echoes of Wisdom having the same art style as Link's Awakening... Try to follow along before chiming in for other people.

We don’t know Echoes isn’t connected to Awakening yet…

I literally say this in my post...

It kind of reminds me of the crystal she was trapped in in OoT. It could be that he was after her Triforce piece like back then, and he needed to imprison her in something that could stop her magic from damaging him in the interim.

That makes sense, she possesses The Triforce of Wisdom. Be cool if she could do telepathic and telekinetic powers, even slipping thoughts in Ganon’s mind that makes him unstable cuz its mostly lust for power in his brain. So he creates a crystal to bar her powers.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - ESRB

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - Everyone 10+ - This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of Zelda as she attempts to dispel rifts throughout Hyrule and rescue Link.

www.esrb.org

The ESRB rating suggests that Link is still playable in some capacity. I desperately hope that this means we’ll get some traditional Zelda gameplay here, but I’m also a little disheartened by the “rescuing Link” part.

I wonder if you play as link in the twilight zone

In all likelihood it's talking about the game's opening scene which we already saw in the reveal trailer. The jury's out on if we'll get more than just that, though...

I highly doubt that they’d make Link a playable character for the first 5 minutes of the game and nothing more. It seems like a waste of effort for something that could’ve just been a cutscene.

There is the possibility of him only being playable in a second quest, similar to something like Symphony of the Night.
