For nearly four decades, traditional Legend of Zelda titles have had a typical formula. They often involve the heroic swordfighter Link saving the kingdom, saving a different kingdom, saving the entire world, saving himself, and you get the idea. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom takes the tried-and-true series formula and flips the typical equation on its head. Link now needs saving and his rescuer (and playable main character) will be Princess Zelda. However, this isn't the only way that Echoes of Wisdom will look to enhance the traditional Zelda adventure.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom adds some Breath of the Wild to the series formula
