The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is making franchise history by being the first mainline entry in the series to feature Zelda herself in the role of protagonist. While the prospect of playing as the titular princess instead of Link is exciting on its own, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom seems to be blending elements of the series' past, such as the top-down perspective and art style borrowed from Link's Awakening on the Nintendo Switch, with new features such as Zelda's Echo ability. In an effort to meld the old and the new, Echoes of Wisdom should see the return of one underutilized character.
