Luckily, after a much-needed relaxation and lots of (many) rewatches, we’re beginning to construct up a greater thought of what this one is all about. Bursting with pleasure for what this new 2D journey may maintain, we’ve got put collectively the next record of stuff you may need missed within the Echoes of Knowledge reveal trailer.
Our picks vary from the gorgeous apparent to the blink-and-you’ll-miss-them and we’re positive there might be a pair extra that we’ve got missed in between. Take a look by way of our choice of probably missable moments after which head to the feedback to depart any others that you simply noticed.
Oh, and if you happen to someway missed the whole reveal trailer (or if you happen to simply need to watch it for the 304th time – no judgement from us) you may 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 soar we’ve got questions on Hyperlink’s sword. That hilt would not look very Grasp Sword-y, does it? The blue is lighter than every other we have seen earlier than (until you rely 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 taking a look at a brand-new blade right here? Is that this simply what the Grasp Sword appears like within the Hyperlink’s Awakening-style artwork fashion? 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 the same crystalline cage in Ocarina of Time, A Hyperlink to the Previous, and 4 Swords Adventures. Don’t be concerned, she tends to make it out.
Outdated-College Ganon
This massive outdated pig Ganon seems similar to the designs present in A Hyperlink to the Previous / Between Worlds and the Oracle Video games.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 an additional day.
Absolutely Powered Hyperlink
Very similar to Tears of the Kingdom, it appears 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 flexibility 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 way 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 recreation with out some dimension-hopping, wouldn’t it?
New Quick-Journey Factors?
The sport reveal exhibits these bizarre little statues cropping up in all places. 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 comply with the speculation that it is the similar map) after which they may also 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 actually in the suitable spots — however maybe they’ve another that means.
