ECHOES FROM AN ADVENTURE
The New Indian Express|October 22, 2024
I do not consider 'Echoes of Wisdom' as just some minor spin-off game in the Legend of Zelda series. For the first time in a very long time, Zelda is herself the main playable character in the series. And I am quite upset that we've completely slept on her druid abilities for all these decades. In Echoes, Zelda holds the powers of a priestess that can work her magic through her staff.

ECHOES FROM AN ADVENTURE

She can summon creatures in an instant and command them at will. It's Pokemon for those unwilling to engage in its turn-basedness. I think Echoes is pivotal. If Nintendo was just testing this game out to gauge our reaction to Zelda's unconventional skills, then by all means, they must make more of these.

Both the story arc and the overall universe of Echoes are no different from your usual Hyrule adventure. It starts as all the games in the series do - with someone important being kidnapped, and something unspeakably terrible affecting the lands of Hyrule. In this game, there are rifts being created, with people, creatures, and houses being sucked into a void. It also eats up our well known hero, Link. So Zelda rises to the occasion - as only the princess has the ability to traverse between the living world and the void.
