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.

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!

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

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.

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!!

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.

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!

So I absolutely love this game you get to play as princess zelda but in disguise. It makes you really have to use your creative side. There is always something to do whether it be your main goal or the mini side mission. I love Zelda games and this is one i truly love to play. My daughter has even started to play it as well and loves that it challenges her creative side as well!

What makes Echoes of Wisdom so special is how it honors the spirit of the older games while giving us something new to discover. The puzzles feel clever without being overwhelming, the story carries the same timeless sense of adventure, and the gameplay loop kept me hooked in the exact same way I felt when I first held a Game Boy and explored Hyrule decades ago.

As a long-time Zelda fan (I've been playing since the SNES days), I had mixed feelings going into this game. I knew it was going to be "different" for sure, but it ended up being refreshing. It didn't conform to expectations, and I think that's what made it so fun for me. The art style was cute, the story was engaging, and I liked that the series put Zelda in the protagonist's spot for a change.

I don't know how they do it, but the Zelda games never get stale. This time they've done what fans have been asking for for years - a chance to play as Zelda instead of Link. And they nailed it. Gameplay is unique for Zelda, borrowing elements from Tears of the Kingdom. The art style is gorgeous, and Zelda is adorable. They've built on the Link's Awakening remake engine very well. Can't recommend this enough.

this game is absolutely Amazing, from the art style to gameplay. the story was although formulaic to the Zelda franchice it still felt fresh. the gameplay is a great twist to the Top Down Zelda games. the ability to move in 3D whilst being top down is crazy. anyone can pick this game up and have a good time, even if they have never played a Zelda game

Love love LOVE!!! So much fun and completely different from any other entry in the franchise. Love finally being able to play as and have a story focused on Zelda. 10/10

Great game! A great return to 2D Zelda games. And the first playable (mainline) Zelda! Unfortunately, it seems like it might have been designed for the Switch's successor and downgraded to release on the Switch. Frequent framerate drops don't affect gameplay too much, but really brings down the atmosphere that the Link's Awakening style pioneered.

i loved all the puzzles in this game! they emrace "gamer instinct" of breaking the rules and "what if i did this" and breaking boundaries on linearity. the MUSIC! and the final dungeon was the most fun ive had in a final dungeon in years. SO MUCH FUN! usually i give my zelda games to my brother when im done but im keeping this one for replaying in the future!

As a fan of Zelda since the original NES version, this game is very fun with great gameplay mechanics, it's art style is very similar to Link's Awakening (Switch Remake). The star rating is off, because MOST people are reviewing BEST BUY NOT the product. PLEASE use Google reviews, or the BBB to review best buy. This is for the GAME.

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.

Zelda finally gets her own adventure and it’s a lot of fun. The traditional 2D Zelda formula is as timeless as ever and the new Echoes gimmick is simple but it also leads to so many possibilities for exploration, puzzle solving, and combat. It’s also aesthically pleasing to look at and there’s a good amount of content for completionists. Overall, it’s a fun game that anyone should play.
