Save Hyrule—this time with the wisdom of Princess Zelda!

The people of Hyrule are being stolen away by strange rifts—and with a certain swordsman among the missing, it’s up to Princess Zelda to save her kingdom in the latest adventure in The Legend of Zelda™ series!



Team up with the ethereal creature Tri and use the Tri Rod to create “echoes,” which are imitations of things you find in the environment—then recreate those echoes whenever you like to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Use echoes like water blocks to reach new heights, make bridges out of old beds, throw rocks at foes, or find your own combination of echoes to do things your way. You can even make echoes of monsters to fight at your side in combat!

Why Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom May Have Changed the Series' Combat Forever
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, offers a unique combat twist could signal broader changes for the series. Unlike previous games, Zelda uses indirect strategies, summoning echoes of objects and creatures to handle fights creatively. This system lets players repurpose non-combat echoes—like wind turbines or boxes—as combat disruptors, creating a versatile toolkit without the standard arsenal of weapons. Echoes of Wisdom’s puzzle-centric approach in combat introduces a new strategic layer, integrating Zelda’s distinct summoning abilities with practical problem-solving.
