THE Legend of Zelda is one of Nintendo’s flagship series, and Breath of the Wild is just one of the reasons the Switch has been so successful.
Since then, we’ve seen the sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, alongside other remakes such as Skyward Sword and Link’s Awakening for the Nintendo Switch.
During June’s Nintendo Direct, the company dropped the bombshell that a new Zelda game would be released in September, starring Princess Zelda in the lead role.
The footage shown during the Direct only lasted a few minutes, but Nintendo has just released a second trailer featuring five minutes of gameplay footage.
After the first trailer, players believed that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom would be similar to the Link’s Awakening remake as it uses the same art style.
However, the second trailer reveals that the game’s design will borrow more from Breath of the Wild than traditional top-down Zelda games.
Fans also initially speculated that the map would be similar to A Link to the Past or A Link Between Worlds, but the new trailer shows that it is an entirely new world.
Not only will it feature a new map, but several gameplay features will be similar to those found in people’s favorite game in the series.
Zelda will be able to ride a horse, something rarely seen in top-down Zelda titles, and like in Breath of the Wild, it can help her through difficult terrain.
She can also leave the horse in a place and then call it, just like Link does.
One of the hallmarks of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom is Link’s new powers that allow him to do things like connect objects or teleport above him.
Zelda will also receive powers like this – the first, the ability to copy objects, was revealed in the original trailer.
The new trailer shows that Zelda will also be able to bind objects, meaning she will be able to make them follow her, or bind herself to objects, meaning she will follow them.
This is very interesting because it will give players more ways to move around the world and complete puzzles.
There is also a cooking mechanic where Zelda can swap ingredients to make smoothies, which will give her various buffs.
