This is how the princess will get around Hyrule
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – Traversing Hyrule Trailer Analysis
Zelda is going full horse in her next game, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, a new video preview of the upcoming Nintendo Switch release reveals. In the nearly six-minute long gameplay video, we see how Zelda will get around Hyrule: on foot, via teleportation waypoints, and in the saddles of adorable horses.
Traveling on horseback looks incredibly fast and incredibly fun, letting Zelda and her horse jump over obstacles (and trample enemies) that stand in her way. Zelda can summon her horse by creating a carrot echo, a magical replication of the common root fruit. And just like Link, she can have multiple horses during her journey.
On our tour of Hyrule, where we meet Echoes of Wisdom's versions of the Zora, Goron and Deku Scrubs, we also get a look at another ability Zelda will use thanks to her Tri Rod. The Bond ability will allow Zelda to connect to objects in the game world through a magical tether, forcing them to move when she moves. In the primary example, we see Zelda tie up with a massive rock, then move it out of the way with ease by simply walking while attached to it. Bond will help Zelda unearth buried treasure, relocate troublesome enemies and more, Nintendo says.
