01:00THE LEGEND OF ZELDA
01:17Hello everyone, I'm Eiji Aonuma, producer of The Legend of Zelda series.
01:24What you just saw was the latest installment, The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom.
01:32This time around, Link has vanished.
01:35Now, it's up to Princess Zelda to step into the protagonist role.
01:40You might be thinking, will Zelda fight with a sword then?
01:44Here, we wanted to create a new gameplay style that breaks conventions seen in past Legend of Zelda games with a top-down perspective.
01:52To explain more, please take a look at this video.
02:00Stolen away, across the vast lands of Hyrule, strange rifts have appeared and have taken many people, including Link.
02:11Now alone, Zelda meets the fairy Tri, receives a mysterious staff called the Tri-Rod, and sets off on a journey across Hyrule to save her kingdom.
02:25By waving the Tri-Rod at a table she found, Zelda learned how to create an imitation of it, called an Echo.
02:33Once you learn an Echo of something, you can recreate it whenever you'd like.
02:37Even if there's a wall blocking your path, you can create Echoes of tables to get a leg up.
02:44Just like that.
02:47You can create wooden boxes, old beds, and unusual things like water blocks.
02:55How you use them separately or together is entirely up to you.
03:00Learn and create Echoes of things you find while exploring Hyrule.
03:05You might be surprised at what you discover.
03:13Even battles will look different. You could pick up and throw a rock Echo, for example.
03:19That's not all, though. You can also create Echoes of monsters. After doing so, they'll fight by your side.
03:29Monsters have different abilities, so choose the one you want to create based on the situation.
03:36Wisdom is key, after all.
03:38In a Hyrule without Link, the fate of the kingdom is now in Zelda's hands.
04:08With the addition of the Echo ability, which channels Princess Zelda's wisdom, there are a lot of Echoes in this game.
04:15To be honest, I haven't counted them all yet.
04:18How you solve puzzles and battle enemies will change depending on the Echoes used.
04:24In short, we've created a game where each player's experience will be different.
04:29The Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom launches September 26th.
04:34A Nintendo Switch Lite system inspired by the Legend of Zelda series will also be available at launch.
04:41We hope you're looking forward to playing as Zelda in this new adventure.
