Zelda is off on her own adventure for the first time ever (there definitely weren’t any games starring her on CDi) in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and the princess has Link’s sword and shield to thank. Nintendo has revealed that his weapon combo “got in the way” of the Switch game’s defining feature: copying and pasting items to solve puzzles and fight enemies.
“If that’s the case, it must be someone who doesn’t fight with a sword and shield, right? Who in the series would be a good fit for these powers and bring their insight to them? Well, that would have to be Princess Zelda,” said Aonuma.
