Ever wonder what it would be like to play as Zelda in the Legend of Zelda? Here's a game that actually plays for its namesake as the titular Princess Zelda (that's right, the guy's name is actually Link). This title features a conjuring mechanic where your wand can create learned items to aid you in your quest--a stool to hop up to higher heights is a basic example. It'll hold your attention to the end and you'll want to keep it to play it again.

After decades of playing Link, the opportunity to play as Zelda was a welcome and exciting change. Zelda is as capable, smart and stylish as her knightly counterpart. A fun game, if only a little short.

Criticism of this game refer to it as “Tears of the Kingdom lite.” There are quite a few similarities, but this game stands on its own. Puzzles are fun to solve, solutions are plentiful, and the game just begs you to “break” the world. Traditional dungeons are back, along with “rifts” which are mini dungeons that are perfect for the handheld aspect of the Switch. Controls are tight and intuitive, and the game works well in handheld mode. Additionally, it’s the first game you can actually play as the titular Princess (we don’t count those CD-i games). Strongly recommended for now or as a gift for the holiday season.

Another great Zelda game. Yes, 2D but this game has an over-world almost 10x the size Links Awakening! Elements from other past Zelda games clearly installed in this new game. Great play action. Not too bad frame rate considering age of Switch system circa 2017. Great last Zelda game for Switch before Nintendo releases Switch 2 perhaps in 2025. If you are a Zelda game fan then get this game.

Put off getting this for a very long time. Had a ton of fun. Its like a classic zelda game with top down view and dungeons. Its also got a great twist with the summoning of enemies and objects to fight and maneuver around the map. Its also very vertical for a top down zelda game and playing as Zelda added another fun little change.

Love the mechanics of the game! Being able to copy items and monsters to battle your enemies makes this game a wonderful addition to the LOZ franchise.

Fun little game that incorporated all old school Zelda features with a twist of new ones! I’m loving the gameplay as it involves a lot of puzzle solving and there are multiple ways to solve it

This is the most fun I've had playing a video game in 10 years. Not frustratingly difficult but not overly breezy either.

Another great addition to the Zelda lineup and this time it features Princess Zelda herself. Everyone in our family enjoyed it from our 7 year old to the adults!

I'm a diehard Zelda fan. I wasn't as excited for this game as I was for TOTK, but I broke down and bought it the day after it came out. It's an awesome Zelda game with a very different approach that I think holds true to the classic games. The easiest way to describe it is if they took the Link's Awakening remake game engine and made a BOTW style map with TOTK mechanics. SPOILER: you DO get to play as Link at times (which is my favorite part). Overall I'd say it's a worthy addition to the Zelda series with a very fresh approach to a classic game. There's also some pretty cool lore that addresses topics almost any Zelda fan has probably thought about before.

the legent of link! what a great game, this was the year of women power for nintendo

Great game. Fun gameplay, story, and graphics. I would highly recommend this game. A bit of a twist from the previous titles but no spoilers. Just know, the game is great.

I loved this game. Zelda as a playable character was fresh for a mainline Zelda game, but it was the echoes abilities that did it for me. This game was like Zelda meets Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight Archive series. Tri is basically a spren, lending itself to be formed into all sorts of weapons to get past dungeons, bosses, enemies, and puzzles. Abilities improve as you level up, too. The Rifts were like Shadesmar to a certain extent, and the main big bad, Null, was similar in personality and actions to Odium. I know this game isn’t for everyone, but it checked all the boxes (and then some) for me! I will definitely replay it in the future!

This is a good game. Good zelda game. I just want the prize

Haven’t actually finished the game yet but it’s really cute. It’s in the style and obviously using the same game engine as the remake of Links’s Awakening for the switch. It’s great that they released this because TotK in my opinion wasn’t as good as I had hoped. I would rather have one of these games every year or two than go 6+ years between titles. I’ve owned pretty much every Zelda title since the gold cartridge on NES and this one has great throwbacks to so many of the classics. The new mechanics are also a lot of fun.

Still haven’t finished the game yet. I love the art style (polarizing topic apparently). Sometimes the original switch lags and the frame rate gets weird. Nintendo could have made the conjuring of items/ monsters a bit more streamlined. Otherwise no complaints. Still getting through the story.

This game is such a joy. I had serious doubts about the lack of sword slashing in this one, but the overall mechanics are really well done. The characters and world map were both nostalgic yet new, so I really enjoyed feeling that same excitement I felt with my first Zelda games so many years ago.

a fantastic game with a new unique spin on the tried and true zelda story, only this time your playing as zelda on a mission to save the world, and maybe your friend link as well.

Great game with a fun twist on the Zelda format, playing as Zelda herself and fun new mechanics!

Haven’t yet found the time to beat it, but the game has been great so far, a very fresh take on the 2d zelda experience
