The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom releases in just under two weeks, but spoilers and other leaks of that nature are likely to start today as a ROM of the game has been leaked online.

Nintendo just issued yet another Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom trailer, this time giving a general overview. A few things we’ve seen before are shown here like locations and the Still World, but some new footage is sprinkled throughout.

Here’s an overview of the game:

Two new commercials have been released by Nintendo of Japan for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, giving us another glimpse of the game ahead of its release in a couple of weeks.

Zelda Echoes of Wisdom Hero Mode difficulty

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom appears to include a Hero Mode featuring a higher level of difficulty. That’s based on a new playable version of the game featured at PAX West 2024.

Fans have been going hands-on with the game and spotted the detail. It looks like that Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will let players choose between Hero and Normal Mode difficulties. As of now it’s unclear if the final version will let players access the option right away or requires an unlock.

Zelda Echoes of Wisdom Still World, Swordfighter Form

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom just received its latest trailer showing off the Still World and revealing the Swordfighter Form.

We’ve previously seen rifts in Hyrule, and Zelda will be able to enter those with the help of Tri. In the Still World, various objects and beings swallowed by the rift will appear – and there’s the threat of them vanishing completely. Zelda will need to traverse broken terrain, and players can use echoes to move forward. Dungeons and bosses are also confirmed for the Still World.

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom amiibo support

There was a little bit of speculation within the Zelda community about this previously, but Nintendo recently made it official that Echoes of Wisdom will support amiibo. That news comes from the official Japanese website.

Using a compatible figure will have a couple of effects. First, amiibo can provide items that can be used on your adventure. Nintendo also teased that you might be able to get different colors of clothing with an amiibo in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

Zelda Echoes of Wisdom locations Bind

Nintendo just put out a new Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom trailer showing various aspects of the game, including its locations, travel waypoints, and Bind ability.

Aside from Hyrule Castle, the game also features Gerudo Desert, Jabul Waters, Eldin Volcano, and Faron Wetlands. In the different areas you’ll meet various people that will offer sidequests.

Link playable Zelda Echoes of Wisdom

New information about The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has come to light, and it indicates that Link will be a playable character for at least some part of the game. That news comes from an ESRB rating that just appeared today.

One of the big elements in Echoes of Wisdom is that Zelda is taking the lead this time around. Link tends to have the starring role, but now the princess will be the one attempting to save Hyrule. We’ve also never really seen Zelda playable like this in a mainline entry.

Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom boxart

With The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom seeing its official reveal and coming up pretty soon, Nintendo has provided the boxart (see above). That’s along with screenshots from the title as well.

Here’s a quick refresher on the newest Zelda game:
