At first glance, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom looks like a straightforward successor to 2019’s Link’s Awakening remake, with its top-down perspective and toy aesthetic, but there’s a pretty significant twist that sets it apart from this, and other games in the series: this time, you’re playing as Zelda.
