Happily, after a much-needed relaxation and lots of (many) rewatches, we’re beginning to construct up a greater concept of what this one is all about. Bursting with pleasure for what this new 2D journey may maintain, we now have put collectively the next listing of belongings you might need missed within the Echoes of Knowledge reveal trailer.
Our picks vary from the beautiful apparent to the blink-and-you’ll-miss-them and we’re positive there can be a pair extra that we now have missed in between. Take a look by means of our collection of doubtlessly missable moments after which head to the feedback to depart any others that you just noticed.
Oh, and in the event you one way or the other missed your complete reveal trailer (or in the event you simply need to watch it for the 304th time – no judgement from us) you will discover it on the backside of the web page.
Issues You Would possibly Have Missed In The Zelda: Echoes Of Knowledge Trailer
A Suspicious Sword
Proper from the bounce we now have questions on Hyperlink’s sword. That hilt would not look very Grasp Sword-y, does it? The blue is lighter than another we have seen earlier than (until you depend one thing just like the three-element White Sword from The Minish Cap, which we’re pretty assured will not pop up right here) and the form is not fairly as ‘winged’ as regular. Hmm.
Are we a brand-new blade right here? Is that this simply what the Grasp Sword seems to be like within the Hyperlink’s Awakening-style artwork type? Are we studying an excessive amount of into this contemplating Hyperlink will get knocked off 5 seconds later?
Zelda’s all Crystal-y (Once more)
Oh, Princess Zelda and her ‘trapped inside a crystal’ shtick, eh? What’s she like!
We have beforehand seen the Hylian monarch locked inside an analogous crystalline cage in Ocarina of Time, A Hyperlink to the Previous, and 4 Swords Adventures. Don’t fret, she tends to make it out.
Previous-Faculty Ganon
This massive outdated pig Ganon seems similar to the designs present in A Hyperlink to the Previous / Between Worlds and the Oracle Video games. We would be leaning in the direction of the ‘Fallen Hero’ timeline, on this occasion, although 4 Swords Journey additionally has a boar baddy, so we would not rule out the ‘Triumphant – Baby’ timeline eithe— you understand what, let’s save the timeline chatter for one more day.
Absolutely Powered Hyperlink
Very similar to Tears of the Kingdom, it seems to be just like the Hyperlink we discover initially of Echoes of Knowledge (assuming his downfall comes initially) is a fully-powered hero. He has the Hylian Defend, a bow, and the power to leap (which normally requires the Roc’s Feather/Cape within the top-down video games) in his battle with Ganon earlier than slipping by means of the cracks.
What is that this? Metroid?
Floating Islands within the Shadow Realm
Shadow Realm, Darkish World, name it what you need, however there are bizarre issues afoot within the purple cracks which have unfold throughout Hyrule. Peering into this different dimension in a single shot exhibits islands floating within the distance. One other shot seems to indicate Princess Zelda on this alternate world choosing up Echoes.
It would not actually be a Zelda sport with out some dimension-hopping, wouldn’t it?
New Quick-Journey Factors?
The sport reveal exhibits these bizarre little statues cropping up all over the place. There’s one on the decrease proper island within the first shot of the overworld (proper exterior the Pond of Happiness in A Hyperlink to the Previous, if we observe the principle that it is the identical map) after which they can be noticed in cities and different factors of curiosity. They even present up on the minimap and provides off a faint yellow glow when Zelda walks close to them.
We would guess that these are quick journey or save factors — they’re definitely in the best spots — however maybe they’ve another that means.
