Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom trailer shows off the princess’ new powers
When The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is released on September 26th, it will be the first Zelda game in decades with the titular princess as the hero. Nintendo has released a new trailer highlighting some of the new powers she’ll have and all the places she’ll get to use them.
Princess Zelda will have the whole of Hyrule to explore in Echoes of Wisdom. She’ll traverse the harsh landscape of the Gerudo Desert, the calming waters of Jabul, the jungles of the Faron Wetlands, and the scorching lava floes of Eldin Volcano. And to get around the wide world of Hyrule, Zelda will be able to summon a trusty steed to her side, just like Link.
Zelda’s got a couple of new powers that will aid her in her quest to save Hyrule from dangerous rifts that threaten to consume the land. In addition to being able to summon copies of creatures or objects called echoes, she’ll also be able to bind or reverse bond objects. With the bind power, Zelda will tie an object to her movement, letting her move giant obstacles or enemies out of her way. For reverse bond, Zelda herself will move along with the object, helping her get over big gaps or climb tall cliffs.
