As the Switch coasts into its final years, I think it’s worth stepping back and considering just how many Legend of Zelda games the console has received since its launch in 2017. Despite the deluxe, each and every title manages to feel fresh – and that is doubly true with The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. For the first time since the early 90s, players assume the role of Princess Zelda rather than Link, but this isn’t just the usual character swap. Instead, this change results in a dramatically different kind of experience that demands creativity and experimentation from the player.
