Princess Zelda draws a sword in Echoes of Wisdom’s new trailer


Zelda’s getting a sword and shield in her new game.

Our first couple of looks at Echoes of Wisdom made it seem like Zelda would be fighting to save Hyrule with just her wits and new magic powers, but the game’s latest trailer is all about the princess’ skills with a blade. Though Princess Zelda will wield a mystical staff that basically summons monsters and conjures useful items, she also has a straight up sword in Echoes of Wisdom ’s newest trailer that highlights a new game mechanic. While Zelda’s new form will give players a way to hack and slash their way through enemies, the new trailer really spotlights how sword fighting is just one of the skills you’re meant to cleverly deploy while exploring the world.
