Nintendo Adds New Character Bios, Story Details to Echoes of Wisdom’s Japanese Site
Posted on August 09 2024 by Sean Gadus
With Echoes of Wisdom less than two months from release, more information about the game is being revealed. Nintendo’s Japanese webpage for Echoes of Wisdom has been one of the best sources for new screenshots, new character bios, and story details. Sections of site like “Story,” “Wisdom,” and “World” are now live for fans to explore. The “Wisdom” section provides more information about Zelda’s Echo and Sync abilities, and there are some interesting new screenshots and videos of the abilities in action. The “World” section provides a collection of screenshots of the different characters and races that Princess Zelda will meet throughout her journey, as well as basic information about Zelda, Tri, Link and Ganon.
One of the biggest additions to the website has been a collection of bios for side characters like the King of Hyrule, Minister Sadari, General Ugi, Impa, and Ruberi (left to right in the image below). The names and information have been translated from Japanese to English, so these may not be the final names of the characters in the English-language version of the game.
Nintendo has also started to share these individual character profiles on X. The ruby-red overcoat the King of Hyrule wears is similar to overcoat worn by King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule in The Wind Waker. Minister Sadari is a blue-haired character who is a member of the Hyrule government. General Ugi is a leader in Hyrule’s military, and he has an extremely serious expression in his bio picture. Echoes of Wisdom has a new version of Impa; the wise women is wearing a blue outfit and carrying a red staff or cane. The last character revealed on the website is Ruberi; he is Impa’s brother, and the old man is investigating the rifts in Hyrule.
