Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom didn't start out its development as one might expect, with a very different direction initially planned for the title.

We've heard how The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has been built around "being mischievous" and it seems to help with this Nintendo will be giving us access to more than 100 echoes.

It might not have a level editor of its own, but The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom started with an idea that was a lot like Mario Maker. On Monday, Nintendo published part one of its “ Ask the Developer ” series with long-time Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma and game directors Tomomi Sano and Satoshi Terada.

According to Nintendo and Grezzo, there was once a version of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom that let you make your own dungeons.

You probably haven't heard of Tomomi Sano before, but the Nintendo employee just broke a big barrier for The Legend of Zelda series. She is now the first female director for the franchise after helping to helm The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, which comes out in mere days.

The key feature of The Legend of Zelda Echoes Of Wisdom are the "Echoes" themselves, and it was a struggle to balance them all out.

Nintendo at one point toyed with the idea of letting players design their own dungeons in the new Zelda game.

Echoes of Wisdom appears to have leaked in full a couple of days before its proper Nintendo Switch release date. Reports from YouTubers a few weeks ago claimed that a rom containing Zelda's first solo adventure was already making the rounds,

Echoes of Wisdom marks many firsts for the almost 40-year-old Legend of Zelda series - one of which is the director herself. As discussed in Nintendo's recent Ask the Developer volume featuring the new game's leads,

The Legend of Zelda has taken players through the magical land of Hyrule for nearly four decades. It has broken nearly every ground imaginable across video games. Even after all this time, Nintendo continues to find some new firsts for the series.
