Legend of Zelda: Exhoes of Wisdom looks like any other Zelda game in the series, yet stands on it's own with main function which os finally, you gwt to play her majest, Princess Zelda. She teams up with Tri, who is the first companion in a Zelda game we have seen since before Breath of Th Wild. Making echoes with Tri can take a little time to adjust to. Most games, you'll want to go figh characters head on, but in this game you have to be bit mor strategic. You'll find yourself evading many enemies which adds a bit of difficult to the beginning. It can be tedius at times but the number of echoes is very impressive. These echoes make for somw great problem solving. The puzzles can sometimes stop you in your yracks and make you have to think hard about all your abilities and what you're abke to do. Echoes of Wisdom does a good job of feeling like a Zelda game in the post Breath of the Wold Zelda landscape. The menu system will look very familiar to people who have player BotW and TotK. The graphical style is the same cute toy like esthetic from Links Awakening which I have alsways thought was a good look for the series. The game will suffer from frame rate hiccups like Awakening, but not nearly as bad. I got the game, day 1 and the hiccups initially were starting to bother me, but since then there has several updates and the hiccups are barely noticeable now. The Story has a similar vibe to a lot of Zeldas ie: Link to the Past and Twilight Princess. Where there is some alternative world to explore, but this one changes it up a little bit. There are Rifts scattered through out Hyrule that you will often have to find a entrance to and then go inside and find some of Tri's friends. This part of the game makes Zelda feel like a platformer at times as you will use many of your eschoes to reach spots that you can't just jump to. The Dungeons are back and the themes are strong in them unlike BotW and TotK. It feels like a very good return to form for thr series. The Temples are much more then what TotK were like too. More then just going along a collecting 5 items to unlock the boss. This is the longest review I have ever written, but overall I had a really good time playing this game. There is a lot of great characters and good story arcs with each area you go to. Lastly, the music is very good. The main theme is nice, but once you get into Gerudo Desert or Jabul Waters, you'll find yourself humming it later on when you're making dinner or doing laundry. Definitely don't skip out on this one!

Fan of the Zelda franchise, so bought this to go with the collection. Graphics are the fun kiddie style and the point. Game play is fun and enjoy the different levels.

This is one of those rare gems that's comes around every now and then. I'm this game the player is put into the role of Princess Zelda, who is swiftly saved by Link from Ganon and finds himself sucked into a mysterious void. Your task is to find the source of the voids that have appeared around Hyrule and to find Link. Zelda herself is not suited for combat so she is equipped with an item that allows her to create illusions of enemies and various objects called echoes. These can fight in her place. Early on, you will come across an item that allows Zelda to temporarily become a sword fighter which can be used as a last resort in fighting tougher creatures. This game is very charming and I found myself liking it a bit more than I'd expected. For fans of this franchise it's a nice return to the old-school Zelda feel with puzzle box dungeons and a story that takes you around the world. Highly recommend playing!

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a nice change of pace from the traditional formula we’ve seen from 2D Zelda games since their inception. While the combat is clunky and Zelda has limited attack options, playing as her is a welcome addition. The game combines the multiple-solutions of puzzle solving found in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom via the echoes. For the first time in a 2D Zelda game, I was no longer bound to a walkthrough. I was able to complete the majority of the dungeons and puzzles on my own without the use of a guide, which was a gratifying feeling. Swapping between echoes for solving puzzles was annoying however, as the UI is just a never ending straight line. It would’ve been nice if they pulled from Super Mario Maker 2 and had multiple wheels to divide the Echoes based on particular categories. Besides the Exhoes, the gameplay is still incredible, with surprisingly mature characters and emotional storylines. This is a nice swan song for the Switch 1 in 2024, alongside Mario and Luigi Brothership. If you want just 1 more first-party Nintendo title before the next console, pick this up.

A fun way to play a new zelda game as Zelda herself. Loved the Zelda Awakening game art style of gameplay and this scratches that itch.

This game is super fun and creative. Great for all ages. There is a million ways to solve the puzzles which makes it so your don't get stuck or frustrated. Excellent spin on the Zelda franchise.

If you enjoy the 2D style of Zelda games with some modern upgrades and unique gameplay you will have a great time with Echoes of Wisdom. It has a compelling story, vibrant world, and excellent soundtrack. I highly recommend it to Zelda fans like myself!

Amazing game. with the new toy style artwork. it brings you back to the puzzle aspect of zelda.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom for Nintendo Switch is a mesmerizing addition to the series! The game masterfully blends nostalgia with fresh, innovative gameplay. The world is vast and beautifully designed, filled with secrets, puzzles, and challenging quests that keep you immersed for hours. The story is compelling, with rich lore and character development that deepen the Zelda universe. The new mechanics and abilities add exciting layers to exploration and combat, making every moment feel rewarding. If you’re a fan of adventure games, Echoes of Wisdom is a must-have. Nintendo has truly outdone themselves with this one!

You've seen this before! Another good Zelda title for your handheld. If you are about gaming on the go, love Zelda titles, puzzle, action puzzlers on a 2D map (think Link's Awakening) - You will love this! Be warned - the menu system can get overwhelming, Zelda doesn't fight, she uses ghost minions that can fight, pull her, track enemies, even a shadow Link that uses arrows and fights with a master sword. It can get hectic on screen with multiple enemies and friends alike. Practically every enemy defeated becomes a Shadow minion you can use, so gone are the days of simple Zelda menus. This game is massive, but very good though. My wife loves Breath of the Wild, loves puzzles, and this one whether on TV or handheld is a welcome addition.

This game was a delight! Definitely recommend, despite some flaws. Pros: beautiful graphics, wealth of options to solve each puzzle (which are creative), interesting story, excellent music and good pacing. Cons: framerate hitches can be distracting for many, but this (and the heavy tilt shift blur at the top) aren't present on the Switch 2. Also, "death by menu' is real- there are an enormous amount of items, but a single line from which to choose. Even with sorting options, it takes a good while to find items at times, which can really take you out of the flow of battle. Would definitely recommend, the pros heavily outweigh the cons.

Getting the bad out first. Pre-order bonus was missing as is the only complaint I've seen anyone else have. I spoke to an agent named Roger a few days ago who told me that Best Buy would still be honoring some of the pre-order bonuses and that I would have to check my app over the next few days (of speaking to them) to watch for the acrylic stand to be shipped to me. Still no change as of yet. Now to the game itself. Echoes of Wisdom has a gorgeous world with a very pleasing soundtrack as well. The characters are memorable and the game contains a multitude of mission style callbacks and easter eggs to discover from other series favorites. The ability to find different solutions to certain challenges is incredibly fun and I'm always testing out different combinations for combat and exploration. Nintendo managed to capture the feel of Tears of The Kingdoms player driven creativity in a more traditional style game and it plays incredibly well. A few frame rate issues that most reviews online will address but it is a phenomenal game.

I am a huge Zelda fan, and I was so excited for this game! It has been years since the release of a top-down Zelda, and this one adds some of the freedom that we’ve come to enjoy in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. This Zelda title is much more linear, simple, and on the easier side, but it takes an approach that we haven’t seen before. Take control of Zelda herself and make copies of things in the world, including enemies to fight for you. The story is very interesting and it is very accessible for long time fans and newcomers alike.

Great game, I think it would have been funny to mess with fans and name it The Legend of Link. It was awesome to finally play mainstream as Zelda. Loved it.

Better than expected! Fun take on a zelda game! A lot more interesting than I initially expected.

This game is a great time. Where puzzle and problem solving takes priority over combat, Echoes of Wisdom is a creative spin in the Zelda series. It somehow feels like a classic Legend of Zelda game yet is fresh and new. Playing as Zelda is something fans have wanted for a long time. Definitely worth picking up.

I own every Zelda game in the major consoles and thought my wife would enjoy it. After she played, she encouraged me to try for myself. This game offers a great story, many thought provoking puzzles to think through, and more than enough side quests that are entertaining for when you want a break from the story line. There are tributes to several pay Zelda games with many new game play options to try. This game could be played many times and never would need to be the same experience to move through the game. My wife and I really love it!

We love it! Fun to play with lovely surprise shh no spoilers. ;) Reminiscent of old style games but with better modern graphics. Lots of fun, great adventures and tasks! New style of gameplay where you’re learning and taking on power of other characters to vanquish enemies. Very cool but different gameplay than TOTK or BOTW. Moves aren’t as complicated. No change of clothes or weapons to create or fuse like those but still fun! Another Zelda Masterpiece. But we’re Zelda-Heads. ;) We love it all! Oodles of fun for everyone!!

I just started it a few days ago and I have liked it a lot so far, play and control mechanics feels different since it's a "new" TLOZ, but playing with princes zelda instead of link, it took me a litle time to get used to it but still a great game

Zelda’s debut…I think? Anyways great mechanics and great game I loved it
