As the time draws shorter for the release of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, more confirmation regarding its world is coming out. Recently, in a private game preview event for Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Nintendo revealed that the Hyrule in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is completely a new version despite the few iconic locations, and it is not connected to any Zelda game.

A well-known news outlet on YouTube Good Vibes Gaming got the privilege to attend the private preview event where they got to play 1 hour of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
