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, Echoes of Wisdom director Tomomi Sano is actually the first-ever female director to head a Zelda project in the series' 38-year history. That doesn't mean that this is Sano's first time working on the beloved series, though. "Prior to this project, my main role was to support the director," she explains. Along with studio Grezzo, Sano also helped develop various Zelda remakes.
