Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Announced | Nintendo Direct

Looks ace. If you're bothered by Zelda being the protagonist of the game you've got legitimate brain damage.
Can see how the conjuring gameplay won't land with everyone but it's neat that they took the "wisdom" part of her character and made her practically a mage.
Also, using the creation tools in TotK was about 30x more interesting than "press B to sword", so maybe give it a chance.

Maybe because it is different from those and a "sequel" of Link's awakening?

So they're reusing the LA remake engine (and probably a lot of assets) to quickly get another one out. That's fine, I love how that game looks. Still not sure about the gameplay of this one, but we'll see.

It would have been so boring if it was an exact copy of a Zelda game, just gender-swapped. I'm glad they went this route as it mixes things up.

Looks fun and a different way to play the game through alternative game mechanics. Nintendo has done well not pandering, so I don't see this as a pander like some are feeling.
As someone who has two young daughters, my 6yo is excited to play this together.
It's ok to have different types of games from franchises. Especially when it's more of a filler title in between console releases. Don't fret guys and gals, they'll release a another big Zelda flagship title that is more familiar with what you're used to soon enough.

ikr? I'm glad to see some people who realize the potential here. Also, gotta say, it baffles me to read comments claiming "wokeness" and "queer" any time you have a female protagonist regardless of the situation or context.

Exactly! Instead of taking easy way out they went with more creative route.

I think my heart stopped for a few seconds when it first started.
It's a shame, but I'll take a new game over it any day.

Are people seriously thinking this is “woke”? God that word has no fucking meaning anymore….this culture war BS is getting beyond stupid.

I know that. I am just venting because I miss that style and combat.

Link was wearing it too, its just a hood.
Looks like a direct reference to the main look from botw

No way I could sit through this game. Looks unbelievably ho-hum. The Lego art style is the cherry on top. Hard pass.

It makes sense that she would need to be somewhat incognito to get around without harassment if she's the Princess of the Kingdom or whatnot. Though Link was wearing the same thing so I assume it's more of a stylistic choice than a logical one.

I like how they made the game revolve around she being the wisdom holder, so it's not just a"Ms pacman" of link.
I will hold judgement till release though. Also, I feel like I already saw this subtitle years ago on a fan made image, am I crazy?

Lets hope. There's been a rumor that they have been sitting on them for quite awhile. I can't think of any other reason you would want to wait. You'd think they would be no brainers for what is the end of life for Switch.

Well Mario himself was technically a side character in his first appearance and since then Captain Toad, Luigi’s Mansion, Yoshi etc have proved that they know what they’re doing.

They treat their mainline zelda games like mario, they probably want to wait for the S2 to:
A) maximize possible sales of the game
B) bring in more people to the new system

The gameplay is just TOTK modified. Sadly, they used Link's Awakening's art style, but they did it to make it fast and cheaper.
So people wanting to have Zelda as protagonist got their wish. Too bad it's not what anyone was thinking about.
Let's see if people will like the gameplay and combat, since they liked that you could do "anything" in TOTK, and this is just a modified version of it.

That's Nintendo's "break glass in case of emergency" contingency. They will have to have an absolutely bleak lineup to bust those out.
Hopefully I'm wrong.

Its funny because unlike other side characters like captain toad, zelda is a titular character
We finally have an authentic ZELDA game with ZELDA as the main character

It's also not how Nintendo think of games, so it's baffling that so many idiots genuinely believed they'd just have Zelda wearing Link's skinsuit and being the badass ladyboss that can do everything the man does even better!!!
Nintendo aren't political activists and they're not going to get rid of one of their most popular and iconic characters in Link, the way they create videogames is by following the idea that "form follows function", this means that they thought of new gameplay based more on strategy and puzzle solving, decided Zelda would be a good fit for it due to her association with the triforce of wisdom and made this game.

Arlo hard guessed a top down Zelda game as the Switch swan song:
He self admits to be bad at guessing Nintendo, so it's nice to see him get a win.

I think Twilight Princess needs a remake, hopefully that's why they aren't releasing it.

Can we at least get a once a month rage mode where she slaughters with a sword?
