The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was announced by Nintendo as a game without Link leading the way and fans seem very excited to instead get violent as Princess Zelda. The game, which many are joking should be called The Legend of Link as players are tasked with saving the Hero of Time instead of the usual Zelda, sees the princess wield a weapon called the Tri Rod as an alternative to the usual sword and shield. This is because Zelda holds the Triforce of Wisdom instead of Link's Triforce of Courage, and the rod fittingly employs more of a puzzle-solving approach to problems instead of hacking and slashing.

"Kill pig with rock," reads one post from @kurdupl on X/Twitter, alongside an image of a heartless-looking Zelda about to decimate a worried moblin. "And here's Zelda with the folding chair," reads another post from @Stoic_Miiverse, showing Zelda jumping down from the top rope onto the big boss featured in the opening of the Echoes of Wisdom trailer, with Link cheering her on in the background.
