According to the developers of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the game originally had fall damage. However, the team ended up changing that for the final release.
Co-director Tomomi Sano and series producer Eiji Aonuma spoke about this in a Famitsu interview. Sano pointed out how Nintendo and Grezzo wanted players to go for trial and error when it came to the Echoes, and wanted them to do so without restrictions. Aonuma also brought up something mentioned by Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto, who has spoken about a desire for players to reach the end of Zelda games. That was another factor in keeping fall damage out.

The Game Awards 2024 capped off the year this week by celebrating the industry with awards and new announcements. Even if you only own a Nintendo Switch, there were a few bits and pieces of news from the show.
Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, Shadow Labyrinth, Catly, and Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds are coming to the console. Many other announcements took place as well, and some could end up on Nintendo systems. We saw things like an Okami sequel and Stage Fright as the next project from the developers of Overcooked, but it’s just too early to say which platforms these projects will end up on.
While Nintendo didn’t win any awards, a few third-party Switch games did. You can find the full list and get a recap of announcements for the console here.
