Echoes of Wisdom is the BEST Thing To Ever Happen to Legend of Zelda! 

Let`s be honest, people that get triggered by Zelda being the protagonist of this game really should get their things together...

We’re getting a NEW 2D ZELDA, with a bit of a twist to keep it fresh, and people are complaining? Insane. This looks amazing, can’t wait

I wonder what this game is going to hide before release? Example: we didn’t know about the depths in TOTK until leakers let the cat out of the bag a few days before release.

This could open up a Link/Zelda co-op game.

I remember everyone speculating about Zelda being a playable character in TOTK. Very excited for this new title! And we have played as Zelda before in Spirit Tracks, kinda 😅😅

I wish this was a traditional 2d Zelda game with unique items and weapons to suit Zelda and the wand mechanic for puzzles only.

I’m super excited for this new Zelda game!!! I literally cannot wait to play as Zelda!! 😊 I love all Zelda games and this one will be no different!!

Zelda and link are part of a trinity with Ganon, hoping we get a Ganon staring game someday, we know that there are Timelines where Ganon wins.

by far and large the best surprise of the Direct…a brand new original top down Zelda!!! ❤

That’s a bold statement. No choice of original type combat will turn a good amount of people off. I just hope they give her the bow of light or something along those lines as well as the ability to make echos. Super excited for it though.

Whether you like the new direction or not, everyone should hope it succeeds. If not, it could be another 10 years before you see another 2d game.

So excited for this game! Still want them to port link between worlds! It’s my favorite zelda and want to be able to play on big screen!!

I must say that this game got me more excited to play than Tears of the Kingdom! Due to the gameplay possibilities especially within the 2D world!

I am really looking forward to this game. I just hope they gave you a handful of more things you can do besides just spawn enemies and platforms. I don't want it to feel too simple or limited.

Huge deal because it releases on my birthday and a special edition switch lite too?! definitely picking it up !

I'm really excited for this game. Gonna be honest tho, when the trailer 1st started I thought we were getting a Zelda RPG. I still want some kind of Zelda RPG or Paper Zelda, I feel like either of those would be loads of fun

I don't think that anyone is mad that Zelda is a playable character, I personally was interested in there being a playable Zelda for Totk. The thing that bothers me is just that fact that there appears to be a drastic change in combat, the thing that got me hooked on the series was the combat in breath of the Wild, and now the main combat mechanic that was shown was throwing rocks and having moblins fight for you.

could it be that the echoes ability in the late/post game could lead to an option to build houses and even dungeons. so the long hoped for zelda dungeon builder? zelda could build the dungeons and other players could play them as a link. never really been wild about this feature but can understand why others are excited about it and the opportunity would be ideal.

Great video and thought provoking. Many ways they could go you're right. I'm just sad we're not getting wind waker on the switch 😢

We NEED a Power game where Ganon is the star!

Finally a Legend of Zelda game where Zelda is the actual protagonist

This was for me by far the most surprising and entertaining announcement in the Direct for this year, and 100% a day one purchase, loved the remake of Links Awakening on the switch a couple of years ago, and a continuation on the artstyle with Zelda as playable character is the best thing they could do. Yes Metroid prime 4 looks ridiculously amazing and is my favorite title of the Direct (you see my avatar, Sylux ftw he owns, hoping to see Trace as well return) and yes Im a HUGE METROID fan, and we all kinda knew it would be shown, but we also know almost guaranteed its going to be a launch title on the Switch succesor besides it being a cross gen game. This Zelda though I look forward to so much can't wait to dive righ into it in September. Thanks Nintendo.

I think it would be interesting to see a game with the Linkle character

always excited for a new zelda. september 26 will be a fun day!

Bro I’m excited it’s finally Zelda we play as it’s different it’s fresh this news needs rootbeer to go with it

I can't wait for this game

I think part of the reason they've been more reluctant to change the Zelda formula is that Legend of Zelda has had a more serious feel. Mario is goofy and slap-stick, so doing weird things fits with the personality. I think Legend of Zelda will always be a bit more dignified. But this game really looks like a good move to me.

I hope you can unlock link later on in the game and that you can switch, that would be the coolest thing that could happen for me

This look like the pokemon game we never got

I’m very excited for Echoes of Wisdom with new mechanics and playing as Zelda is a breath of fresh air.

Looking forward to playing a Metroid game where you play as a Metroid!

I need to wait and see with this one. I hope you don’t have to do EVERYTHING with the echo ability.

wait...people are annoyed a Zelda game you get to play as Zelda as you said aka a girl O_O I am super excited been wanting this forever

It is too bad that they have not done morewith linkle except for being in the hyrule warriors games except for age of calamity

I’m so hyped for this

I cant wait for this new legend of link title

I'm looking forward to this game but I wish they'd go back to classic style. I miss all of the old items and gameplay tactics. Honestly I'd absolutely love a Majora's Mask reimagining with a larger world and and extra day or two on the timeline to accommodate even more time sensitive and/or intricate side quests and give the NPCs even more life and character to them. Take all inspiration from the original, the 3DS version shouldn't be looked to for any inspiration for it, maybe learn what not to do from it lol. Damn I'd love that. But yes I'm still gonna get and play this one! For sure.

I don’t mind it I’m not interested but if I had, I would’ve rather had both link and Zelda as both playable characters with a 2 player coop option.

I wouldn't say it's the best thing to happen to the franchise, but it's certainly a nice change in the formula. Why not play an adventure as her once in a while? Why not have a game where they're both tackling an adventure? Would've been cool if we had a TotK where she was playable and it was co-op. And i like the idea of having her combat style be completely different than Link's, that makes sense. This isnt the same as Abby from TLOU, Kate from GOW, or what the new Joanna Dark now looks like. Personally, I'm looking forward to this.

I am really excited for this game. While I do like BOTW and TOTK, I never finished them. I found myself getting so frustrated with them because they were just so overwhelming. They are great games, I just miss the ones like Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. So this new one seems more up my alley.

Love this perspective! I would say, though, that I *do* think Nintendo has experimented with other series - esp Animal Crossing. I think it was a big risk to move towards heavily towards a crafting game - compared to the cozy village simulator that previously existed in the franchise.

Finally, a loz youtube video that isn't doom posting about how "ZELDAS DEAD!!!11!!!" Or "THIS IS THE WORST GAME EVER MADE TRUST ME GUYS!!!11!!!!" its really refreshing to hear someone speak positively about something that we know basically nothing about.

Maybe she will get the master wand

Tingle did get a game once

I’m not as much a fan of Link Games but it’s super fun. I don’t mind.

The icing on the cake could have been master mode for TOTK, but oh well. I’ll take anything 😊

Zelda x Golden Sun?

I don't mind that you play as Zelda but wish they didn't nerf the puzzles by making them more like BOTW/TOTK where you can solve it any way you want to. Tailored puzzles with specific solutions are much better.

If this game is good then everything will work out.

I me that would be fun is maybe a Zelda game where you can play as Link, Zelda and Gannondorf working to gather. Or a Gannondorf game that is melee focused.

I've never had a desire to play as Zelda. And this didn't do much to change it. This is my favorite series, so I'll still give it a try

The ds allso had tingles rupee land...

Dropped for a 4th switch consol for Four swords adventures port. Not even remaster. Clean port. Then Nintendo cant seem to muster the interest for even base quallity controle since Pirate bay exploded.

Hyrule warriors is koei tecmo

Has anyone actually complained about Zelda being the protagonist? Be real Zach.

I seriously don’t understand and will never understand why some people have such a problem with playing as a female character. There’s so many great games with female protagonist! Tomb Raider, Shantae, and Metroid just to name a few. People need to grow up. Those people are missing out on some great games!

Tingle game when?

"Im sorry Jake." Lol. Hey, at least you compared him to Mario. He should be honored by that concussion you once gave him. Mario made you do it.

Sorry... I ment spirit tracks... CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG....

"has not expanded out" I'm gonna have to disagree with ya there cap'n. We just got Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. That is quite the leap from the typical mainline Zelda game.

I have 2 problems with this game. 1- The name should have been Legend of Zelda: The Missing Link 2- They should have announced a collector's edition that would mirror the Link's Awakening one. Imagine a Zelda Amiibo to accompany Link. The marketing dept. needs a good shake. But jokes aside, I'm so excited!

Hmm. I have mixed feelings about it. I don’t this is the best thing to happen to the Zelda series just because you are playing as zelda. It’s just a different kind of zelda game. That’s it for now. We have to play it to see what it’s like. But going by what we know so far, it seems to strip some core elements that Zelda fans have loved in other games. Not that there is anything wrong with doing something different, but I hope they don’t do just this from now on even though I highly think that won’t happen 😅. I will still likely try the game out before giving my full opinion on it since I play all zelda games but just because the series is called the legend of zelda and she isn’t the main character, doesn’t mean that the series was always wrong with link as the main character. Link was the central character in the series and in Zelda’s story/lore. That’s the fact. I am bummed that there won’t really be any sword fighting in this game though 😂. If I was going to play as zelda as a main character, I would rather play as sheik. They could do some cool stuff with her ninja like abilities. There was apparently a cancelled game with her.

I’m also a fan of anime I hope see, something I think I call it Sea-flower adventure. That would be something. It’s a girl name.

Very unhappy about this direction for my favorite franchise. Sad to see. This game will be good, but nothing I’m excited for.

You could play as zelda in phantom hourglass...

In the part of the trailer with link, is his bow the one from TOTK or is that just me?

hi SwitchForce

nobody is annoyed tht its zelda. the game is just obv throwaway slop with a zelda face on top

No it’s really not.

3D Zeldas suck after Majoras Mask. This should've been the pivot back then: more focus on exploration and puzzles without any grind.

literally no one has ever complained about Zelda being playable, it's people on the left side of the political spectrum the only ones saying that to get a reaction from people on the opposite side.

No one is annoyed that Zelda is playable

Have you met the Zelda fan base? Nintendo is terrified of changing The Legend of Zelda too much because such a vocal part of the fanbase is still mad that every Zelda game isn't a remake of Ocarina of Time. I'm not saying that they shouldn't expand. I love it when the Zelda team tries new things, but there is always this nagging voice screaming in the background that whatever Zelda game it is isn't Ocarina of time. It is getting annoying.

Nooooo I love the art style cause Links awakening is my fav but this BS with her creating beds to jump higher lol that’s dull AF What is this Zelda AC style lol I will say this looks better than Peach’s Showtime though and that game was also bad.

Incorrect.

This game is going to suck shit.

booooo this sucks

It is not the best thing to happen to the franchise it is probably the worst I have no interest in playing a Zelda with no combat part of the reason of I like playing Zelda games is beating the crap out of enemies this should be a spin-off game and they should have made a new 2D Zelda game with link

Honestly I want more weird spin offs and collaborations with other game devs. Hyrule Warriors and Cadence of Hyrule were really fun!

Maybe she will get the master wand

Very excited for this game! My big hope is that we get a new villain. I have a feeling it will be Ganon again, since it was his staff that opened the rifts, but I’m a bit tired of Ganon being the villain. Zelda as a franchise needs more cool and interesting villains in the roster.

I’m super excited! I’ve always preferred 3D Zelda but this looks adorable and so much fun! It feels like such a breath of fresh air and energy for the franchise and gives me exactly the same vibe and energy the series had post-Ocarina’s immense success: new mechanics, new styles, new stories, the series going in every direction at once… I love it! I saw some people say it doesn’t feel like Zelda, but to me this is exactly what the series is about; every game is so different. There is something for everyone! Remember, we got Wind Waker after Majora’s Mask (I was a teenager then and remember the backlash to the art style, but now it’s considered a classic!) The we got games like Twilight Princess, but also games like Spirit Tracks - in what ways Link travelling Hyrule by train feels like a Zelda game but not this? Anyway this old school fan who also loves the new games is super excited about this!

I’m getting because it looks good andfun

If you go back to the beginning of tears of the kingdom, and and you get the recall ability. Rauru tells you that “what you saw was a mystery, and that perhaps it was a sort of an echo -one that reflects her sheer will”. This makes sense as to why it’s called echos of wisdom.

The woke comments have been bugging me so much. People for sure asked for this. Im so excited

Why is everything trying to be Minecraft now? I just want some proper puzzle solving, not some mechanic that lets me cheese everything.

Good maybe they will release tetra trackers now that the gates are busted wide open.

I just wanted this to come out before my birthday, not after, small nitpick I know

This game is freaking amazing. Did not expect much, just ordered it because Zelda: I played all entries in the series. And well, this one is probably one of my most favorite games ever. Don't watch reviews, just play it. It will give you an amazing time, worth every second.

Some people have more passion for distaste than desire… it’s sad, the pessimism…. A trailer is like a book with just a cover…. Give it chance! They put time and resources into this game, it deserve a chance ❤ thank you Nintendo! The game so far looks amazing

Bold statements cotton!! Honestly just about as hyped myself though. Just beat the links awakening remake last night and ALTTP before that 😁 don't let anyone kill your hype

People are upset any Zelda being the main character? I don’t really know why. Did they not like Tomb Raider games? I’ll grant that we have to watch for any and every company to be woke, but I saw nothing in the direct that spoiled lead anyone to think this game is woke. We’ll see in time but so far it looks great to me and I plan on getting it.. and a second copy for my daughter who may or may not have been named after this character

I’d love to someday see a create your own hero game set in Hyrule where your missions serve to support Link and Zelda

I am so very excited for this new game! Haters gonna hate. I’m ignoring them

Have you not played Spirit Tracks or Wand of Gamelon? Both games Zelda is playable. lol Nintendo is only giving fans this because they have been constantly bombarded by people during interviews begging them to make a Zelda standalone since Wand of Gamelon.

Idk, gameplay seems kinda boring. The first game and the last game are easily the most interesting

It really is just the amount of employees they can put on these projects. Resources are probably tight enough just getting the main line titles out.

Also, maybe they should pull a reverse card and change Metroid’s protagonist for a game

I love this announcement, and I'm really looking forward to this new game, but... I think there is something to be said for a series that keeps a specific theme and game type. Sherlock Holmes stories are generally about Sherlock Holmes, and he's most likely going to be doing detective work. I'm not saying that innovation is bad, but wanting Zelda games to focus on certain characters, and to be a certain genre, isn't a terrible thing. However, there are certain innovations that would be very bad for the series as a whole. People don't really want a Sherlock Holmes story to star, and focus on Watson, and depict him starting a baseball league. Sure, there might be a few people who find that interesting, but as a whole it's not what people want out of the series.

Is Nintendo working on a new Zelda game for the switch 2? I want to see breath of the wild 2 or a tears of the kingdom 2 it has to be bigger and better open world I’m going to get this game when it comes out
