Nintendo’s recent release, ‘Echoes of Wisdom’, marks the first time Princess Zelda takes center stage as the main character in a game. The game introduces a unique play style where players can use ‘echoes’ to copy items and solve puzzles creatively. Despite initial concerns about player acceptance and gameplay mechanics, early reviews have praised its innovation. However, some criticisms arose regarding performance issues on the Nintendo Switch and the game’s menu system. As Zelda approaches her 40th anniversary, producers express excitement for the future of both 3D and classic top-down adventures in the series.
