“Why is a game starring Link called The Legend of Zelda?” is a question most people have asked at some point in their lives. Ask no more as Echoes of Wisdom puts Zelda in charge of her own legend in this new top-down adventure game. Visually, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening remake from 2019, Echoes of Wisdom is a true Zelda game with the classic puzzles and dungeons the series is known for.
It's clear that the creators learned from the series' more recent games, and while Echoes of Wisdom is more of a “classic” Zelda experience, Breath of the Wild's free creativity is present thanks to the Echoes mechanic, which allows Zelda to summon any item or enemy she encounters, leading to all sorts of crazy solutions. Stuck on the other side of a ledge? Stack a bunch of mattresses on top of each other to get across. That's it!
