Legend of Zelda speedrunners have discovered a glitch in Echoes of Wisdom that allows you to play the game as Link instead of its titular princess - and it's genius. Speedrunners have been hard at work discovering exploits and glitches since Nintendo's big Echoes of Wisdom launch just eight days ago. They've already managed to beat the game in under an hour with only four hearts - but that's not all.
They've also figured out how to play through the new action-adventure gem as Link rather than Zelda, but actually getting to that point is quite a challenging feat. If you want to try your hand at playing as Link, you'll first need to start a new game. Save while you're still controlling Link at the start of the game in the Suthorn Ruins, then proceed on through until you've completed the first dungeon.
Head into Kakariko Village and make sure to obtain the Sign echo, go past the east gate beside the Eternal Forest, and hop up onto the trees there to enter the fog. Once you gauge how far you can walk before the game resets, place a Sign and read it while attempting to simultaneously open the menu. If everything goes smoothly, you'll be able to move Zelda while your menu is glitched and get her killed.
When the "Game Over" text pops up, load your Suthorn Ruins save from the beginning while pressing the A and Up buttons. It's a lot - and as a longtime Zelda stan myself, I don't think I could pull it off. YouTuber "ZeldaMaster" has uploaded a more in-depth video guide on how to get .
