“Oh right. I don’t have a sword.”  This thought may have crossed our minds on more than one occasion at a recent preview event for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. One particularly intimidating enemy had us scrambling after our tried-and-tested combination of Echoes failed to do any damage. And if panic-throwing pot after…

Ever since Super Mario Maker launched in 2015, we’ve all been thinking the exact same thing: “They should make a Zelda Maker!” It just makes too much sense: top-down dungeon maps that players can drag and drop puzzles and enemies into. And while some indie games are trying to fill that void, it’s safe to…
