But didn't they did that in the 90's?

A rather generous definition of "playable".

I hope this sells like crazy so that it can probably convince Nintendo to do a Legend of Zelda mainline game making her a playable character.

Loved Tears of the Kingdom and it was a massive game, but man was it a huge missed opportunity to not make her have a playable part

Spoiler

especially considering she was doing things in the past separate from Link.

I somehow missed this game was coming out until this past Monday. I remember hear about a Zelda game with Zelda being a playable character but I had zero clue its was coming out this soon.

Nintendo had a 9-day Zelda "boot camp" with devs "working from morning until night" to figure out what the heck they were going to do with Echoes of Wisdom

The timeline nonsense doesn't matter. It was just a marketing thing for Skyward Sword.

I got this today out of nowhere from my partners uncle. I'm enjoying it so far.

I'm almost done with Echoes of Wisdom and as puzzle and Dungeon design goes, they knocked it out of the park. The story is standard zelda fair but there's nothing wrong with keeping things simple. Despite it's smaller scale, the "Can I really get away with this " aspect of the mechanical freedom from Breath, Tears and ImSims is still here. I also appreciate that a lot of the music is unique to this game while clearly being inspired by the previous games. They're Princess Zeldas versions of these themes. Its a nice touch.

The only negatives I have are there's performance issues especially in the Faron Wetlands. Frames dip considerably in that section. Its also a little too easy as far as bosses and combat go. I recommend starting on heroic difficulty

Overall, a pleasant Christmas suprise that's stands well with the best 2D entries.

8.5 (if they fix the performance issues, it'll be a 9)
