Zelda takes the stage in Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom

And it's coming September!

For the first time in franchise history, Zelda herself will be the primary protagonist of a Legend of Zelda game in Echoes of Wisdom.

Heading to Switch in September, the title is decidedly different from what you’ve come to expect from the franchise on the whole.

“It’s up to Zelda and her wisdom to save the kingdom of Hyrule in a brand-new story in The Legend of Zelda series,” Nintendo said.

The people of Hyrule are being stolen away by strange rifts that have appeared, with a certain swordsman among the missing,” Nintendo continued. “Team up with the mysterious fairy, Tri, and use the power of the Tri Rod to create echoes – imitations of things found in the environment. Then recreate those echoes whenever you like to solve puzzles and defeat enemies.”

Check out the revised combat system above.

The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom heads to Switch on 26 September.
