Nintendo’s Echoes of Wisdom is a wonderful classic new game following the Zelda theme further into the future. It’s rich in color and details. The musical score is some of the best ever offered. The game play is mostly linear meaning you’re directed to achieve goals in a certain order. Although this absolutely doesn’t mean you are not free to explore the land of Hyrule as you please. It just means you have to accomplish set goals to open new areas of the giant map. Some of the goals are met by solving puzzles and dungeons, some of which can be perplexing but all can be solved through trial and error. Most importantly, Echoes of Wisdom is really fun to play.

This game is great. The variety of echoes allow for you to handle puzzles and combat encounters in different ways. This game also brings back more traditional dungeons that were missing in the Wild era Zelda games.

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.

The original was the first Zelda game I ever played, and is still one of the best in the series. The remake looks amazing. Here's hoping we get versions of the Oracle games in the future!

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.

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

Wonderful game; hopefully they make more Zelda main character games. I'm going to treat it as if it's the only Zelda playable full game because I don't want to remember the CDI ones.

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.

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!

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!
