Nintendo surprised fans on Tuesday by announcing a new chapter in its 40-year-old Zelda saga, one of the Japanese video game giant's biggest cash-cows.
During an event broadcast on the web, the firm said The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom would be scheduled for release on the Switch console on Sept. 26.
Eiji Aonuma, producer of the Zelda series, said on the webcast that fans would be able to play as Princess Zelda herself rather than the elf-like warrior Link — a first for an official entry into the game's cannon.
