Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Doesn't Star Link Because His Sword "Got In The Way"
Briefly

In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the heroine Zelda embarks on her first solo adventure, utilizing a unique gameplay mechanic centered around copying and pasting items.
Eiji Aonuma noted that Link's sword and shield impeded the game's core feature, which involved using echoes to combat enemies, thus paving the way for Zelda's leading role.
Tomomi Sano makes history as the first female director of The Legend of Zelda franchise, previously directing popular remakes like Ocarina of Time and Link's Awakening.
Aonuma suggests that Echoes of Wisdom may not align with existing Zelda lore, stating their intention wasn't to establish new theories within the series' timeline.
