Nintendo has just officially placed “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom” within the series’ expansive timeline, and it’s sparked quite a buzz among fans. If you head over to the franchise’s portal website, you’ll find the timeline has been updated to include this latest adventure, slotting it right after “Tri Force Heroes.” This means that the original “The Legend of Zelda,” its sequel “Zelda II,” as well as “Breath of the Wild” and “Tears of the Kingdom,” follow after.
It’s essential to highlight that “Echoes of Wisdom” emerges in the timeline branch where the hero meets defeat in “Ocarina of Time.” This stands in contrast to the triumphant hero branch, which leads to different timelines: the “child era” including “Majora’s Mask,” “Twilight Princess,” and “Four Swords Adventures,” or the “adult era” with titles like “The Wind Waker,” “Phantom Hourglass,” and “Spirit Tracks.” Interestingly, no matter which timeline branch you trace, “Breath of the Wild” and “Tears of the Kingdom” appear at the end.
For those intrigued by the storytelling elements, the development team behind “Echoes of Wisdom” has discussed incorporating Prime Energy into the narrative. We’ve got those translated insights if you’re curious.
