Link is likely playable in Echoes of Wisdom. But how much do you expect him to be playable?

@Zeldafan2108 5 ай бұрын

My guess is that we play the tutorial as Link and then we start playing as Zelda.

I can see link being used inside of the rifts and not interacting with zeldas playable space, this games world seems to be designed around using the wand to navigate it, making it a no-go for link

@javiervasquez625 5 ай бұрын

I feel it's possible that after finishing Zelda's quest and achieving a completed file the game unlocks a "Link Mode" allowing us to play the entire game as Link in a seperate adventure.

MY THOUGHTS: I have been hoping that this will be a fleshed out dungeon builder system from Link's Awakening remake. My guess is that this game started as engine testing for a Mario Maker - style dungeon builder. Then they decided to flesh this out into a Zelda-played game. I bet you catalogue all overworld items and then can use your library to make dungeons. Wherever Link is is a blank slate area for building and sharing dungeons. 😎

If you remember rumors of tears of the kingdom where they said you would switch between Zelda and link, maybe this is the game they were talking about

@a.jthomas6132 5 ай бұрын

Having Zelda as a major playable character in the Imprisoning war would given us a grand opportunity for player to see her armed with her Time/Light powers and her Bow of Light to combat her enemies, and her Purah Pad for puzzle solving. At the same time, make the Ancient Sages more fleshed out (The Sage of Lightning may be Ganondorf's formal lieutenant til she defects her Gerudo king is the best example) and to give Twinrova a perfect boss battle before they finally confronts the Demon King in the Imprisoning Chamber. Unraveling the origins of the Zonai race is also important as well. Those are Tears of the Kingdom's biggest missed opportunities as you said.

I've tried to compare different language versions of the game's media blurb ( i.e. the text that online shops are allowed to use to present the game to customers ) and it has started to seem to me that it might just be a bad translation and we shouldn't make too far-reaching conclusions until it's proven otherwise, i.e. we get more information from Nintendo ( in other languages it's not hinted that you could play as Link, but that he is "a certain swordsman who disappeared into rift" and now it's Zelda's turn to save him and use the Trirod wisely to cast echoes ). On the other hand, it's been fun to watch and read when news reporters make bold suggestions about what Link's playablity could mean, like maybe players could choose between Link and Zelda which character they want to play as or that you can play Zelda only at certain points where echoes are needed, but otherwise players play as Link where combats are needed which are probably the wildest suggestions I've heard. However, I think it's most likely that if Link is playable, it's only in the intro and that's it.

@jlashombjr 5 ай бұрын

That description could simply be read as drawing a comparison to how link is played in all other games, not specifically this game. This is most likely just a poorly written description based on what was seen in the reveal.

If Link becomes corrupted by Ganon after being sucked to the rift, I can't imaged how heartbreaking it would be for the Princess have to face her hero since there the trailer hints they are very close.

@gary.420 5 ай бұрын

Its safe to assume at least part of the intro is played as link but you know what would be great? If for new game plus, or as a bonus for finishing the game we get to play what is also essentially a new link to the past type game, having to go back and beat the game classic link style dungeons included, the game ending when link gets sent to the rift with ganon and the story of zelda starts. Basically 2 games in one, the classic link gameplay as an extra or bonus and the new zelda gameplay.

@javiervasquez625 5 ай бұрын

That's what i've been thinking too! It would be such a cool surprise to be able to play 2 seperate storylines within the same game. Also can you imagine the potential for such a concept in future 3D Zelda titles? Link goes on his own adventure while Zelda is busy doing hers elsewhere.

People saying he's only playable in the prolouge are not paying attention to how nintendo makes video games. They would not make the player play as link for an intro amd then throw those gameplay mechanics away. Nintendo does not prioritize story of teaching someone how to play a game. Link will be playable either in spurts or he has his own second world to explore. Otherwise, that ganon fight would had been a cutscene

All These ideas are actually so cool!!! Not just from a gameplay perspective but also from a narrative point! All these parallels shown directly in the gameplay are far more telling of the character story without them saying a word! It brings back the bittersweet but impactful story telling that made breath of the wild great, show don't tell

If you look at the shadows of the characters everyone has a normal shadow according to the light of the scen but playable zelda has a circle shadow (probably to help the player to know where to land) At the beginning Link has a a normal shadow until is battling ganon where it changes to a circle shadow. Maybe because is the beginning you can play as link but it would be an easy playthrough like just press a or something like that

I wonder if they considered an optional co-op in which one player plays as Zelda and another plays as Link, something akin to Triforce Heroes.

@maiconmartins3789 5 ай бұрын

Scenario 1 does not seem to be the case as the trailer shows Zelda in places whose background is fully purple implying that she sometimes may be inside of the rifts. Maybe it will be possible after acquiring an ability or else... I think the rift would be like the depths for this game.

@pheonixr1337 5 ай бұрын

I would like to see Link playable in the intro until he is captured by the purple magic dimension. Then we play as Zelda throughout the game until we face off against a mind controlled Link, freeing him and then fighting and defeating Ganon right after. By defeating Ganon, we reclaim the Triforce of Power. Then in a post game state we are able to freely switch between Link and Zelda to travel around Hyrule and get any remaining power ups that need the powers of both characters to obtain. This post game state then culminates in a final showdown with the source of the purple magic that needed the completed Triforce to defeat.

@nikifallen93 5 ай бұрын

Usually, they teach the player how to beat enemies before throwing him/her into major battles. It seems entirely strange to have playable Link in the intro against Ganon. If they do it, I think you’ll have to do a mini-dungeon as him first. But I could easily imagine them doing that. I don’t really care how much he’s playable, though. Whatever they do will be great. I’m so excited for this game!

@RockerGamer2798 5 ай бұрын

I agree with many that Link will probably only be playable in the prologue (and maybe a Dark Link final/penultimate boss). I would love a super-long game with a full adventure as Link then a full adventure as Zelda. Or a buddy system with Zelda in Hyrule and Link in the rifts (maybe Zelda can only get through a door after Link opens it in the Rift. Think when you’re helping Kafei get his mask from the thief in Majora’s Mask).

If a playable Link is in the opening Echoes of Wisdom, my question is how come we never get a playable Zelda in Tears of the Kingdom. I would of love to see more of her journey in Hyrule distant past, and it would of story wise allow us to give more in depth to Ganondorf's character just like Windwaker's Ganondorf, make the Ancient Sages more fleshed out, provide Rausu, Sonia and Mineru more screentime, and learning more about the mysterious Zonai Race I am very excited for this next 2D Zelda since i have been waiting a playable Princess Zelda for over a decade. But playable Princess Zelda would helped better TOTK story as the story itself has been divided into two parts.
