Nintendo has officially announced where “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom” fits within the legendary franchise’s timeline.
Today, a significant update was made to the series’ portal website. According to this update, “The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom” comes after “Tri Force Heroes.” Following this, we have the original “Zelda,” “Zelda II,” “Breath of the Wild,” and “Tears of the Kingdom.”
To clarify, “Echoes of Wisdom” sits on the timeline branch where “the hero is defeated,” a divergence that stems from “Zelda: Ocarina of Time.” There’s another branch where “the hero is triumphant,” which further diverges into the “child era” with “Majora’s Mask,” “Twilight Princess,” and “Four Swords Adventures,” or the “adult era” featuring “The Wind Waker,” “Phantom Hourglass,” and “Spirit Tracks.” Regardless of the path, “Breath of the Wild” and “Tears of the Kingdom” consistently mark the timeline’s conclusion.
