The description highlights Zelda's quest to seal rifts in Hyrule and rescue Link. Gameplay mechanics differ between characters: Link wields sword and arrows, while Zelda utilizes a magic wand to summon creatures (wind-up knights, pig soldiers, slime) for combat. Enemies are defeated through various means, including fire and disintegration.

This marks a significant departure for the Zelda series, featuring Princess Zelda as the primary protagonist. Since its reveal, Echoes of Wisdom has become a highly anticipated title. However, the extent of Link's playable segments remains undisclosed.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom launches September 26, 2024.
