Summary
The Legend Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’s recent “Traversing Hyrule” trailer disclosed more tantalizing details about the upcoming installment, even after the announcement trailer seemed to reveal so much. One of the highlights of the “Traversing Hyrule” trailer wasZelda’s new Bind ability, which functions similarly to Ultrahand in that the princess can move objects at the end of a bright green beam fired from her new tool, the Tri Rod. The trailer also showed offZelda: Echoes of Wisdom’s iteration of Hyrule, including locations like the Gerudo Desert, the Jabul Waters, and the Eldin Volcano. One feature that was revealed in the trailer has sent some fans into a craze of excitement, as not only will players be able to get around Hyrule more efficiently, but they’ll also be doing so on the backs of some rather adorable horses.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdommay be moving the franchise forward with innovative changes like its unique playable character and her Tri Rod, but it’s still maintaining some ofThe Legend of Zelda’s most iconic features, like the ability to ride horses through Hyrule’s overworld. This cute addition can’t be handed the short end of the stick, however, asThe Legend of Zelda’s more recent installments have taken the series' mounts further than the rest of the franchise ever has. To ensureZelda: Echoes of Wisdom’s horses are a standout feature in the game, it needs to make the last twoZeldagames a starting point and take what they did even further.
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Needs to Give Players Unique Horse Options
At Least Two Different Horses Have Already Been Confirmed for Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’s “Traversing Hyrule” trailerdid more than simply reveal that Zelda will be able to ride a horse in the game. Instead, it seemed to quietly disclose that there will be more than one type of horse for players to obtain inZelda: Echoes of Wisdom. The two horses that were revealed — a regular brown horse and a white horse with a golden mane — are certainly a good sign of what the full game might offer, butZelda: Breath of the WildandZelda: Tears of the Kingdommight nonetheless have a secret weapon thatZelda: Echoes of Wisdomcould benefit from.
Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom’s Unique Horses Should Trot Right Into Zelda: Echoes Wisdom
There are dozens of different horses for players to find and tame inZelda: Breath of the WildandZelda: Tears of the Kingdom, but each game’s rare horses are some of the best. Specifically, horses likeZelda’s Golden Horse, Ganondorf’s Giant Horse, the Giant White Stallion, and the Stalhorse all make fun and effective mounts for players to use as they explore Hyrule.Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomcould undoubtedly turn some heads with its own adorable versions of these rare horses and even more original designs. Link’s iconic horse, Epona, also feels like a must-have for Zelda in the next game, especially considering how muchZelda: Echoes of Wisdomconnects itself to the rest of the franchise.
Regardless of whetherZelda: Echoes of Wisdomincludes the same unique horses from the past two games or rare horses in general, it needs to ensure players have plenty of options to choose from. While the most recent trailer revealed that the game will feature at least two different horses, it may feel like a long gallop backward if there aren’t enough horse types to compete with previous installments. Nevertheless, the fact thatZelda: Echoes of Wisdomhas chosen to give the titular princess some adorablemounts to ride around Hyruleis a plus.
