    This game is amazing! I absolutely love it and highly recommend it. The art style is so cute and the gameplay as well as story are fantastic. I love using the echoes to solve problems. I was hesitant at first, but it’s so good!!!

    One of the best recent Zelda games I've played. I was originally unsure of this new Zelda installation, but bought it as it was a gift for my birthday from my husband. I ended up adoring the new puzzle like mechanics of using the items and creatures found along my journey to help me progress. Its a delightful installment to the Zelda franchise that has made the story richer as we now are playing as Zelda and seeing more from her side of things. I especially find the battle mechanics of summoning echoes to battle interesting as Zelda cannot do much direct battling herself. 10/10 highly recommend. If youre unsure, give it a try you might just end up falling in love like I did.

    A video game that feels very ingenious and entertaining at all times thanks to its innovative ideas on how to face this great adventure playing this time as Princess Zelda, along with her beautiful and charming companion Tri who gives you the great ability to make copies of both enemies and many objects from the environment of your adventure which is too enriched when it comes to rewarding your creativity, You will find many species which have very cute and entertaining stories to help solve along with a beautiful soundtrack and a beautiful artistic style in a world in which you can advance in your own way using your imagination to face the challenges using the dozens of tools that are given to you, a video game for all kinds of people, Very nice and enjoyable The game runs very smoothly on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch Lite and Nintendo Switch Oled as well as having free improvements for Nintendo Switch 2 which offer 4K and HDR image which makes the game visually sharper and more vibrant

    I am almost finished with playing this so my experience isn’t complete, but this game has been such a joy to experience from start to finish. It’s a refreshing take on 2D Zelda - and you actually get to play as Zelda! And it’s so much fun! The art style is really neat and the storytelling is lovely and not too complex. I think anyone could pick up this game and have a good time. As for the physical components, the box art is great and the box itself was in tact.

    Fun, creative new take on a Zelda game. Mixing crafting from TOTK with the cute art style of Links Awakening, this game finds its own identity with Zelda finally taking center stage. Would recommend for long time fans of the Zelda series.

    This is such a good game for all Legend of Zelda fans. The art style is highly similar to the awesome Link's awakening except this time Zelda takes the role. The game mechanics are intriguing and extremely fun. The dioarama that came with the game is beautifully cute and adorable. Easy to assemble once you get the hang out it (hard to connect it at first). I have the proudly disolayed for my Zelda fandom.

    In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Princess Zelda takes the lead in an adventure that marries the best aspects of classic Zelda gameplay with a twist of Pokemon. This version of Hyrule Kingdom presents all the best locations and characters we've grown to love, and tasks Zelda with saving the day by capturing the "echoes" of enemies she defeats and objects she encounters to fight by her side and navigate the terrain. This Pokemon style gameplay is a fun and challenging twist to the core Legend of Zelda formula. The graphics pop, the characters are adorable, and the puzzles keep me (42) and my daughter (9) scratching our heads, but feeling like geniuses when we finally solve them. There are minor performance issues with slow down happening when there's a lot of activity on screen, but otherwise this is an amazing game for both young and old!

    Putting the "Legend" in "Legend of Zelda"

    This game is finally the exemplary demonstration of why the titular character, Zelda, is always the name on virtually every Zelda game title since the NES (yes, Zelda is the GIRL). I am a long time fan and love all Zelda games, though it is such an exciting feeling to venture through Hyrule as Zelda herself and instead have the unique perspective of only hearing stories of Link's achievements from people throughout the game world. You would be forgiven for thinking that enemy battles might be tedious since Zelda does not wield a sword, shield, or any of Link's typical equipment. This couldn't be further from the truth, however, as using echoes in various strategic ways to conquer enemies and bosses is inexplicably way more fun than it has any right to be. This is truly now one of my top ten favorite Zelda games of all time, and I sincerely hope this game is one of many future titles where Nintendo posits Zelda as the main character.

    Oh man, this thing? It's a blast right outta the gate, ya know? But lemme tell ya, once you get the hang of those echos, it starts gettin' kinda heavy. Like, you just end up spammin' your favorite moves instead of crackin' your brain for new tricks. And the finale? No spoilers, but it kinda drops the ball. You end up losin' somethin' important, and it's just not the same when it's handled by some NPC AI—feels off, pal. Still, gotta admit, it's pretty clever stuff. I'm runnin' around like a chicken with its head cut off, but I still made time to knock this one outta the park.

    A wonderful and creative addition to the franchise. Building on the world of A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening, we get some of the elements introduced to Tears of the Kingdom that let players unleash their creativity to break the game. A true delight, the creative possibilities are limited only by the player's imagination!

    A lot fun for Zelda fans new and old. Playing as Zelda adds a bit of a twist on the traditional sword-based combat. Plenty of puzzles and exploration. Allowing the player a lot creative freedom. Great soundtrack as well. Highly recommend to any longtime fans or newcomers to the series. Your new adventure in Hyrule awaits.

    A nice entry into my favorite franchise. Beautiful graphics and nice mechanics. Easy play for first timers. My only complaint is that the map could have been larger for more game play but being so small you can beat thw game relatively quickly.

    Starring Zelda. She has loads of fun items and abilities that make this game worthwhile to play. Also the story is very respectful to Link, and does not feel the need to tear him down a peg or twelve to lift the Heroine up… Hollywood could learn a thing or two about equality in storytelling from this Japanese game. It’s great! Play ZELDA!
