    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.

    The game is awesome. It’s a nice twist to The Legend of Zelda series. We finally get to play as Zelda and Nintendo did a great job with the gameplay and story.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Fun take on the Zelda series with elements of the newer and older titles. Not super challenging, but includes creative elements like Tears of the Kingdom with some of the more playful aspects and gameplay of the DS titles.

    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.

    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.

    One of the best recent installments to the Zelda

    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.

    I know everyone here is saying they didnt get the pre-order bonus, and I was afraid I might not get it as well, but I actually got it! And the purchase states clearly that I would receive two items. So Im not sure if it was a timing issue or technical online issue for the ones thaf didnt get it.

    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.

    This game is just amazing! Nintendo does it once again with the legend of Zelda series. This time not only do you get to play as Zelda, but you also get to create echoes of game objects and enemies that you come across through the game. This provides, an endless variety of building material combinations that will help you solve puzzles and defeat classic bosses as you make your way through classic legend of Zelda dungeons. This is a must play!

    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.
