Fans Point Out That Link Would Solve The Same Issue Very Differently
In the stop-motion style video, Zelda and her companion Tri come across a treasure chest sitting atop a tall tree, with seemingly no way to get it down. Luckily, a random box and table happen to be sitting out in the empty field nearby, soZelda manages to copy the items and magic them into existence next to the tree, forming makeshift stairs.She then simply climbs the table and box and opens the treasure chest for a well-deserved reward of 20 Rupees.
Echoes Of Wisdom’s Placement In The Legend Of Zelda Timeline Has Exciting Implications For The Future Of The Franchise
Nintendo recently revealed where Echoes Of Wisdom falls on the Zelda timeline, at it hints at an exciting future for the iconic franchise.
Fans in the video’s comments point out thatLink would have solved the problem in a much more hands-on way.YouTube usernanowasabi4421writes, “Meanwhile: Link reeling from his concussion after slamming his head into the tree.” In theZeldagames, Link generallyrepresents the Triforce of Couragewhile Zelda is a much better fit for the Triforce of Wisdom.

Zelda Looks Adorable In Her Stop-Motion Version
The Short Video Matches The Game’s Style Perfectly
The animation has caught fans' attention for its unique style, which looks as though Zelda and all the other items might have been real sculpted items.It’s unclear if this animation was made with a real-world puppet marionette or if this is a digital animation. If it’s digital, it’s done extremely well since it looks like it was made with real-world sculpted versions of Zelda, the tree, and the rest of the items.
The style is also the perfect fit forThe Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom,which uses a very cutesy style. The short video also does a great job of capturing the spirit of the game, with its emphasis on creative problem-solving. It’s very on-brand for Zelda to get to the treasure by using nothing but her wits and the conveniently placed free-roaming table and box on hand.
