Champion's Order

Four heroes, four beasts, and a kingdom's final stand against darkness.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a 2024 action-adventure game developed by Nintendo and Grezzo and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. It is the first mainline The Legend of Zelda game with Princess Zelda as the main playable character. Players control Zelda on a quest to save Link and the kingdom of Hyrule using the Tri Rod, a magical artifact provided by the fairy Tri, who assists her. The visual style is similar to that of the 2019 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, which Grezzo also developed. Echoes of Wisdom was released to generally favorable reviews.
