A report that went under the radar seems to indicate that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was originally planned to be a sequel to A Link to the Past.
Prior to the launch of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, some fans have pointed out that the game’s map was very reminiscent of the map from A Link to the Past. It turns out there’s apparently a reason for that. Before Nintendo and Grezzo settled on things like the Echoes and having Zelda take the starring role, the game was imagined as a sequel to the SNES classic. That changed once the project entered full development.

Zelda games are known for their companions, and in Echoes of Wisdom, Tri served that purpose. In a Famitsu interview, the team gave some insight into how the character was finalized.
The most interesting thing here is that, according to co-director Tomomi Sano, Tri originally had a more human-like design in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. However, after Tri’s role shifted a bit, so did the character itself. Series producer Eiji Aonuma also stated that having the character not be human was “essential” since “the fact they couldn’t understand human emotions was an important point.”

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.

Series producer Eiji Aonuma shared that information in a recent interview. While the original plan was to have Link speak in Echoes of Wisdom, co-director Satoshi Terada said that it didn’t feel right.
