The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – Into the Still World, a Journey Continued trailer, more footage
With less than a month left until release, Nintendo has shared a brand new trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. This one is called Into the Still World, a Journey Continued, and it introduces the mysterious world that lies beyond the rifts tearing Hyrule apart: the Still World. It also introduces Princess Zelda’s Swordfighter form!
Here’s the trailer:
Delve deep into the rifts tearing Hyrule apart and explore the Still World. Plus, learn about Zelda’s swordfighter form, extravagant automatons, and some of the denizens you’ll encounter on your journey!
And if that wasn’t enough for you, here’s another video with over 6 minutes footage showcasing the Still World, Princess Zelda’s Sworfighter form, some of Hyrule’s regions, and more:
The Still World is a mysterious world where everything seems to be frozen in time. Princess Zelda will have to explore this strange, distorted place in order to find not just Link but also the King of Hyrule, who have both been swallowed up by the rifts.
As for Princess Zelda’s Sworfighter form, you get to use it after Zelda comes across a mysterious sword that allows her to transform into this new form. When transformed, Zelda can battle enemies head-on, but there’s a catch: this powerful form can only be used for a short time!
Here’s all the details from the latest press release:
The rifts that encroach on the kingdom of Hyrule lead to the mysterious Still World, filled with challenges to overcome and dangers to face – where trees, fragments of land, people, and other items have been swallowed and now float in the void. With the ethereal creature Tri’s help, Princess Zelda can enter the Still World from rifts located around Hyrule, where she will encounter dungeons to explore and bosses to confront. Exploring what lies within these rifts will require Zelda to carve out a path with her ability to create echoes – imitations of objects and creatures found in the environment, a power she now wields thanks to Tri and the Tri Rod.
In addition to creating echoes to solve puzzles and defend herself against enemies, Princess Zelda can take up a mysterious sword and take on the powerful swordfighter form, enabling her to attack her foes directly. But watch out: She can only stay in this form for a short period of time. Luckily, Zelda can replenish this finite resource by collecting energy which can be found in the Still World. Pick your battles and time things right, and Zelda can fell even the mightiest adversary with her skillful sword strikes.
Plus, Tri isn’t the only one who will aid Princess Zelda on her journey. Along the way, Zelda will encounter several folks that will be of help to her – including the crafty engineer Dampé, who can create automatons that Zelda can use. Wind them up and discover what each one will do – just make sure they don’t break from taking too much damage!
Hyrule needs a hero with wisdom to spare, and Princess Zelda heeds the call! Discover the challenges Zelda will face in this grand adventure to save her kingdom. Will the power of the Tri Rod and the strength of her abilities, including the swordfighter form, be enough to win the day? That’s up to you, of course, in this brand-new adventure set in a Hyrule you’ve never seen before!
