With the success of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom last year, Nintendo introduces a new entry in the nearly 40-year old franchise. However, this isn’t just the same old game. This new addition is the first game in the series where you get to play as Princess Zelda herself, instead of Link.

‘The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’
After Link gets trapped in a mysterious rift called “The Still World,” Princess Zelda must venture into Hyrule, with the Tri Rod and her fairy companion Tri, to find and rescue him and save the kingdom.
In our gameplay, we found that Echoes of Wisdom is a throwback to older Zelda games, like A Link To The Past and Link’s Awakening, instead of the open-world design of newer games, such as Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
It features new mechanics to replica objects to help you throughout your journey — which have a slight learning-curve — but, ultimately make it fun and rewarding to use what you’ve learned to solve puzzles and battle enemies. And even though you play as Princess Zelda, this is very much a Legend of Zelda game through and through, and serves as a challenging and additive adventure through Hyrule.
Priced at $59.99 and available for purchase at Target and Best Buy, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is out now. In the meantime, watch the overview trailer for the game, below:

Sean “Diddy” Combs is the subject of the new episode of Impact x Nightline: Drugs Lies & ‘Freak Offs,’ which will dive into the allegations of sexual assault and abuse made against him, as well as the recent federal charges for racketeering and sex trafficking that the hip-hop mogul is facing.
In a new preview clip shared exclusively with Billboard, Lizzette Martinez, who is a survivor of R. Kelly’s abuse, shares her experience meeting Diddy in the late 1990s. “He’s like, ‘Hey, you have really pretty eyes.’ And said, ‘Hey, I’m having a party. You want to come with me?’” she recalls in the clip. “I didn’t have a good feeling about it and I just declined. Thinking about it now, it’s like, ‘Wow, I really dodged a bullet.’”
The disgraced R&B singer (real name Robert Sylvester Kelly) is currently serving a 30-year prison sentence after he was convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges in 2021. In 2022, he was also convicted of six counts of child pornography and enticing a minor to engage in sexual activity.
Martinez noted that she thought R. Kelly and Diddy are “a lot alike,” claiming that they are both “predators” who like to manipulate. She continued, “They’re dangling a career in front of you. They use the power to get you to where they want you.”
Billboard has reached out to reps for Diddy for comment. The music mogul — who has previously denied all allegations of sexual assault and abuse made against him — has pleaded not guilty to the charges. He was denied bail twice, and is currently awaiting trial behind bars. After his arrest, his lawyer told Billboard in a statement: ” We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. … He is an imperfect person but he is not a criminal.”
Impact x Nightline: Drugs Lies & ‘Freak Offs’ will also feature an interview with Tiffany Red, a producer and songwriter who is friends with Diddy’s ex-partner Cassie Ventura, who filed a now-settled lawsuit against Diddy in November accusing the mogul of assault. She was also seen in a 2016 video obtained by CNN, in which Combs appears to shove Ventura to the ground near an elevator bank, kick her several times while she lies on the ground and drag her down a hallway.
“I can’t unsee that Cassie video,” Martinez says of the clip, while getting emotional. “You can tell me whatever you want about him, but I can’t unsee that video. She helped others to feel like they can come forward and that’s huge, because you put yourself on the line.”
Impact x Nightline: Drugs Lies & ‘Freak Offs’ begins streaming on Thursday (Sept. 26) on Hulu. Watch the preview clip featuring Martinez below.

Lainey Wilson has reached a full circle moment, thanks to her new collaboration with Wrangler. After announcing a partnership with the brand last year, the country star debuted her very first Wrangler collection on Wednesday (Sept. 25).

“It’s wild, and also full circle, because before I could even walk my parents had me on the back of a horse and a pair of Wranglers,” Wilson told Billboard of the collection during a fitting in Las Vegas last month. “It’s a weird thing, because I feel like, just looking at these pictures on the wall of the collection just kind of makes me feel at home in a weird way. It just reminds me of, like, my inner child and that little girl, you know?”

The Lainey Wilson x Wrangler collection features unique designs, curve-hugging silhouettes, stylish patchwork, ringer T-shirts, western-inspired outerwear and variations of Wilson’s signature bell bottoms. A female-led design team helped Wilson bring the collection to life, which reflects her modern but retro style.

“My family is Wrangler,” she added. “My daddy thought I really made it after I told him about this [collection]. I told him, I might be working with Wrangler. He’s a man of a few words, but he was like, ‘now that’s something!’ When he says that, you know he’s impressed.”
At the heart of the collection: Wilson’s long-standing connection with Wrangler and her childhood. She wrote her first song at just nine years old, the same year that she received her first pair of bellbottoms.
“Before we even started working, [Wrangler] really got to know me and my story. Even Viv [Vivian Rivetti, Wrangler’s global vice president of design] she just asked me small details about my childhood and what did I think of [this or that], and honestly, a lot of those things ended up in the trucker Storyteller outfit. All of the things that I feel make me, me. That’s how I write songs too. I get to put my story and myself out there, and it’s cool for me to be able to express myself every day with my music, but stepping into something like this, it just really gives me another outlet. I wrote my first song at nine years old, and I thought that’s what I’d be doing forever. I’m still doing that but it’s cool, [to have] other opportunities that come up.”
While reviewing looks in the collection, Wilson pointed out some of the small details that have had a major big impact on her life. For example, her French bulldog makes an appearance in the collection, along with trucks, trailers, horses, a guitar and other nods to her Western style like the name “Hippie Mae,” symbolizing her first pair of bell bottoms and the phrase “Hillbilly Hippie,” which is named after her 2022 song. There’s also a ringer shirt with the number nine on the front symbolizing the age that Wilson wrote her first song, got her first pair of bell bottoms and went to the Grand Ole Opry for the first time.
The collection’s “Hang Tight” ringer tee represents a phrase her father told her as a child. “I remember riding this bucking horse and my daddy’s like, ‘You better hold on. You better hang tight.’ That’s just something I say all the time and then later on, I ended up writing a song called ‘Hang Tight, Honey’ so that’s our current single.”
“There’s so many little hidden [details],” she continued. “If you look close you see a heart [in the collection]. One of my first hits at country radio was a song called ‘Heart Like a Truck,’” Wilson noted of her 2022 single, which was featured in a Dodge Ram commercial.
“The bread barn right here just symbolizes my childhood,” she said pointing to another detail in the collection. “I feel like I learned a lot growing up on the back of horse. I learned how to hold on when times get tough and how to pull myself up by the bootstraps. The tractor right here, anytime I wanted to spend time with my daddy, I had to go get on the tractor with him.”
Fashion isn’t much different from music, Wilson explained of what she learned during the process of creating her Wrangler line. “[Fashion] has a lot of similarities to the music business. This record of mine that is about to come out, we’ve been working on it [since] before the other one came out and that’s how this line is, and probably all the future things that we do together. You work on it way in advance, because it’s got to go through so many hands to get to the consumer. And that’s how it is with music, it takes a team.”
