"This is an adventure game in which players assume the role of Zelda as she attempts to dispel rifts throughout Hyrule and rescue Link.

"From a three-quarters-overhead perspective, players explore various environments while fighting stylised enemies (e.g. humans, creatures).

"As Link, players use a sword and arrows to defeat enemies; Zelda can use a magic wand to summon creatures (e.g. wind-up knights, pig soldiers, slime) for battle. Some enemies can be defeated by being set on fire; other creatures dissolve into mist when defeated.

"Battle sequences are somewhat frenetic, with several enemies attacking/fighting at once."

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom marks the first time Princess Zelda will playable in Nintendo's celebrated series. It's set to release on 26th September.

Zelda will utilise a new ability to create echoes of items and enemies, while the art style is taken from the Link's Awakening remake.
