The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom finally gives players a chance to control Princess Zelda as the main character in a mainline title, a historic first for the franchise.
Despite earlier opportunities to play as Zelda in non-mainline titles, she has historically been relegated to the role of a damsel in distress, with limited agency.
Echoes of Wisdom not only features Zelda as the main character but also develops her identity independently from Link, a significant creative achievement for the franchise.
Zelda’s expanding role in recent titles posed challenges for developers, who had to ensure that her character did not simply become a re-skinned version of Link.
