Having Zelda as a playable character in a mainline Zelda game. It's an excellent idea.

I'm very excited for a new game in this style! I loved the Link's Awakening remake and was really craving some remakes of the Oracle games but this? this might be even better! really interested in the lore implications and I'll be tuning in to hear your thoughts on it from here until release :)!

I think that this game takes place before Breath of the Wild, AND before Rauru and Sonia founded the Hyrule that we see in BotW and TotK. This is definitely the beginning of that linear timeline though, seeing as both of the Zora archetypes are meeting, but it's similarities to alttp and albw's Hyrules just makes it impossible for me to believe that it's the SAME Hyurle on the same continent.

I got an erection and it lasted more than four hours after watching this

Ngl I'm gonna miss swinging a sword.... Unless Zelda can create a Master Sword Echo 😮

I have high hopes for this game.i just want dungeons and music, and puzzle solving and treasures. Is that too much too ask for?

enjoyed this video and can't wait for this new Zelda game 😁

You know what I want to see in this game? I want to see Zelda fight a possessed Link or even Dark Link at some point in the game. I am kind of hoping that that is what the cover is hinting at with Link being in the same shades in the background with Gannon.

I'm so hyped for Echoes of Wisdom!!! Playing as Zelda is incredible!! I also love the aesthetic of it being from Link's Awakening, the art style is adorable. One thing that stood out to me too was the fact that they said each playthrough will be different based off of what the player has Zelda copy with the Trirod, its gonna be so fun messing around with the mechanic. The story looks fantastic too!

FINALLY! I hope they NEVER go to "open world" design ever again.

Why is it that no one has yet mentioned how Link's bow looks a LOT like a Strong Construct Bow from TotK?

If this is indeed the gap between dimensions it would make sense to have aspects from different timelines in it as it would be connected to all timelines like a community trash can for all timelines. What if it was actually inside it?

Zelda fans we are feasting! I wasn’t expecting a new Zelda already but I’m all for it

I wknder if this will pave the pathway for playable zelda in their "major" games for the loz series. Im so excited!!!

Where can I find this?

They used the opening shot and font of BOTW…. Cant be coincidence

I just want to point out... You mentioned "This ganon is only in the Downfall Timeline", but the Ganon art you show immediately after is from Four Sword Adventures, which occurs on the Child Timeline. That version of Ganon has shown up in both of those timelines. How do I think this will fit into the timeline? I want to think that it will probably either be after FSA or be a merger, just like BotW and TotK appear to be. But, let's be honest, the Zelda team has made it clear that "we make the game first, then think about its timeline placement." It's entirely possible that even they don't know when this would occur, and once it comes out, they'll just pick something once people beg enough. Even TotK didn't keep to what BotW established, and that was literally a sequel to BotW. I just have no hope for the Zelda team to keep trying to stick to the timeline, and... I hate to say this... but that might be for the better. They accidentally created a timeline back in the ALttP/OoT days, and it's been a pain for them ever since. If they think they can make better games without needing to adhere to a timeline, I say let them do so. Not like we expect Mario, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Star Fox, or any of their other series to adhere to a timeline... right...? -looks at all the "Mario timeline" "Metroid timeline" "Star fox timeline" etc videos-

I'm hoping the cover art displayed at the end means there will be a corrupted Link trying to stop us. In the end, this Link is revealed to be an evil entity taking on Link's form. The final fight sees the real Link returning, and Zelda and Link fight this evil side by side. Then in a future title we get to play through Link's journey with the same final fight along side Zelda.

Finally a Zelda game where you not only play as the famous princess, but can now sleep wherever you want, for free, because you get the ghost of a bed to place wherever you need a few minutes of rest. Amazing!

The hood is also zonai like

The map also seems to resemble botw

Hate to be that guy but I really don’t think this is going to be a good game. It’s coming too soon, the story is either going to be way to short or the game will be unfinished on release especially with the fact that it’s planned to be released this year. It also seems like a huge departure from how previous games have been especially playing as Zelda instead of link is so weird. I’d understand playing as both but assuming the story is more Zelda saving link just seems like such a departure from the classic knight in shining armor saving the princess kind of story that all the games followed. I don’t know what you all will think but I personally don’t think it’s going to be a good game. You can have your opinion and love this style with Zelda being the main focus but I’m not sure if I even am going to want to play this game, it’s just not my kind of Zelda game.

Legend of Link: Adventure of Zelda

Where does the Rift lead to? The Backrooms, of course. 🤪

I really hope this has some deep lore implications. I'd love to play as shiek for a bit.

*chibi style not toybox ffs

YOU missed a secret in the fortune teller's dialogue it seems "Wait... Loading takes awhile..." is a reference to the Famicom Disk System loading screen

I can't wait to play it

Cant wait to hear how bad this game is on zelda subreddits!

I honestly thought this was just a link between worlds coming to switch which I would have been fine with since I’ve never played a DS but an all original story using the basic assets of the 2d remake style is great. They could make several new as well as remaster games in this style and I wouldn’t be sad. I’d enjoy if in the next 5 years we got a link to the past, link between worlds, oracle ages and seasons, phantom hourglass, and spirit tracks all in this style. A separate thought is this could have been a 2d remake of a 3d game like ocarina of time but as the chibi art style

I'd say Link fighting Ganon is not a cutscene. Why? Because of shadows! Take a look at Link's shadow in this battle - it's a circle. Zelda's shadow is also a circle while in a gameplay. However, in cutscenes (BOTW-like opening and when soldiers bow to her) it is a normal shadow. Similarly, NPCs have normal shadows as well. I think they made it a circle for us to easier see where the character lands after jumping. So I think Link is playable during this fight, which likely means he'll be playable again later in the game (final battle after Zelda saves him, perhaps). Upd: Link's shadow is normal in an obvious cutscene moment when he dispatches 3 darknuts with a spin. Yet, it's a circle in a fight. So it's not just a fluke.

MY THEORY: the timeline merge that happened some time before the events of BOTW was slow. VERY slow. talking took place over thousands of years kinda slow. the three timelines would have slowly bled into eachother. this explains why it isnt mentioned in the history of BOTW/TOTK hyrule. it was too slow to notice. and this game takes place at the earlier stages of the merge. thats why its got mostly fallen timeline stuff.

i cant wait to spend hours collecting all of those objects only to use maybe 20 of them 😂 the completionist in me is like wooooooooo shit to do and the gamer in me is screaming NOT MORE GRINDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

0:22 hey you stole my joke (without knowing it was mine)

This was such a well made video! Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda game to date and I love hearing other fans talk about it! I really think the locations in this game are fantastic. So excited to watch your other videos on this! :D

now Link is a damsel in distress lol

I wonder if this would be the game where the timelines converge? Would be a fun twist, we'll have to see

Legend of Zelda Link Takes Off

2:10 fun fact, the dots and line in the eyes (..-..) mean "2" in American Morse Code. Could this mean something? Probably not as in International Morse Code it could mean either Ð, È, É, or Ę

I feel we are in the LbWs or spirit tracks timeline. Either way, I feel this is before BotW. And the map will hopefully shed some light on the matter. I also noticed Zonai Swirls on the cloak. Interesting and the relation to the Twilight game is Definitely here. Either way glad to see Zelda gets another chance after so many years at a Main Title. My daughter is super excited and we are probably seeing the new Zelda for the updated Smash when it releases.

Hooray! Comment for the algorithm!

Very excited! Great showcase all around, really. This AND a new Mario and Luigi game. Geez, Nintendo. 2017 all over again

Did anyone else get the feeling that during the ganon fight at the beginning we will play as link? It looked like gameplay and not a cutscene

Considering the great Deku tree is in the game I'm wondering if we'll see Koroks again or if it'll be Kokiri 🤔

I am hyped.

- A Video Game

Wand of Gamelon 2 is real!

1:44 "The version of Ganon that exclusively appears in the downfall timeline" shows a picture of the only pig Ganon that appears outside of the downfall timeline that being four swords adventures

Due to this game having the same art style as links awakening, I speculate it being a sequel where Link returns from the seas to find that Ganon returned while he was gone.
