    I’ve always been a big fan of this game franchise and was excited to get this game. I ordered it ahead of time and had it shipped. I received it the next day after release and was in great condition so no complaints. Would preorder games with BestBuy again!

    This is a great game for younger gamers to get in on the newer Zelda action. It is cute and fun. It’s not too complicated for younglings. As much as I wanted my kiddo to play BOTW and TOTK, he’s not quite ready. Enjoyable quest, great animation!

    The only reason i didnt do 5 stars is because there was issues with my pre-order purchase. They cancelled my order then recharged me and it created a mess. On another note, the game is super fun! 5 stars for it! Its like a big puzzle and the animation is pretty cute.

    This Zelda game has a different vibe than what we're used to. It's not my favorite, but I still had fun playing it. The storyline and platform are something worth checking out. I like how they took a different approach this time around. I will say the art style is really cute. This zelda game seems a lot easier than most. I think most people will enjoy this game. It's a fun addition to the zelda series.

    A new way to play Zelda but with a familar feel

    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!

    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!

    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!

    Echoes of Wisdom is a Delightful Change of Pace

    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.

    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.

    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.
