The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of the Past

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of the Past is the twentieth main instalment of The Legend of Zelda series. It was released simultaneously worldwide for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Plus on March 14, 2022.

After Link and Zelda escape from the cave, which is in Hebra mountain, Zelda tells Link to go to the wise Sheikah elder Impa, who then tells him that the hand is a part of a Sheikah elder, who died thousands of years ago, but she also told Link that she doesn't know why there is only an arm, and why it went inside Links arm, Impa tells him to go to the Hateno Ancient Tech Lab, to see what the arm could be used for, when Link talks to Purah, she tells him that he can turn it into a sword if she changes the Sheikah Slate, after Link places the Sheikah Slate on the Sheikah Slate Pedestal, the player can press ZR + ZL to change Links right hand to a sword, after going back to Impa to tell her, Zelda runs in and tells Link that Korok Forest is on fire, when they travel to Korok Forest, they find Astor, and the Master Sword is on the floor next to him, broken in half, Link fights Astor, but he uses his orb to disappear.

== Gameplay ==
=== Open World ===
Echoes of the Past features a vast open world for Link to explore. Most of Hyrule's scenery is accessible by walking, paragliding or climbing. While the game still includes barriers (such as weather effects, inhospitable environments or strong enemies), many of these can be overcome by using Food, effective weapons and armor or finding alternate routes. The world also includes an elaborate physics system which allows for creative interactions (e.g., cutting down a tree and using its trunk as a raft on a river, or setting grass ablaze and spreading the fire with wind gusts).
Similar to Breath of the Wild, Echoes of the Past does not enforce a specific order in which quests or dungeons have to be solved, with the exception of going to Ganon, as Link needs to go to Sukairofuto, a new region, first. The game does encourage exploration in order to solve Dungeons (and thus gaining additional Hearts or Stamina), find useful and powerful equipment. Additionally, many of the game's puzzles can also be solved in various different ways, often rewarding Link for creative solutions.
