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.

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

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.

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.

What a great little game this turned out to be! I honestly wasn't super excited for it when I bought it, but it's actually a delightful twist on the usual Zelda formula by giving you the ability to finally play as Zelda herself, who has completely different methods of combat and exploration than Link usually does, which turns every aspect of the game into a fun kind of mini-puzzle. The overword is just the right size and a ton of fun to explore. The overall difficulty is lower than usual, I think, but the questing and puzzle-solving more than make up for it. I had a lot more fun with the dungeons than I usually do in these games. Again, they were just the right size, and the puzzles and mysteries were rarely overwhelming, but they were still always fun and gratifying to solve. Boss battles are definitely unique, and require Zelda to use her particular abilities in ways you haven't seen before. This game took about 35 hours for me to complete and I was honestly a little sad when it ended, I was having so much fun with it. It's the perfect change of pace for longtime Zelda fans, and I hope everyone will give it a play.

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 amazing. All the negative reviews are for Best Buy not giving their customers the pre-order bonus. It's a shame they couldn't vent their frustration elsewhere because the game itself deserves nothing but 5 stars. Fantastic mechanics, fun character art, great music, great story. All the things we like about the old Zelda titles but plenty of new things to feel like a fresh breath of air.

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.

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!

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 is a well-paced 2-D Zelda game with a lot of interesting ideas. The best part of the game is actually the overworld which has a lot to explore and plenty of fun sidequests. The dungeons are alright. The removal of classic dungeon items and instead relying on echos and a couple other abilities for all the puzzles isn't as fun as getting a new wacky tool each dungeon. Despite that, the design of most of the dungeons are pretty good. And this game has some cool surprises in its story that I won't spoil. At the end of the day, you can't go wrong with this game, but keep in mind that it may not stack up against previous top-down Zeldas like Minish Cap and A Link to the Past.

Runs perfect on my switch 2. Played for almost 90 hours it’s a special little game. Not as perfect as breath of the wild but it’s a nice intro to Zelda for children.

The LoZ franchise does it again with this fun title. LoZ Echoes of Wisdom is a fun little game that brings back old Dungeons and gameplay, it keeps it fresh with a fun story and even more fun items to help along your journey. Would definitely recommend to any LoZ fan

Awesome puzzles, curious abilities, and the perfect combat speed for beginners make it a great first Zelda game for anyone. Haven’t gotten more than a couple hours into the plot, but it’s a blast watching my daughter figure things out and giving little tips to help refine her play. Not sure if first grade is the correct age range, as there are quite a few words outside of normal vocab. After reading through and beating games like Yoshi’s Crafted World, Kirby’s Forgotten Land, and Pokemon Violet, Zelda Echoes of Wisdom just seemed like the next game in line for her. Plus, she’s been asking for it ever since game trailers aired haha! Her favorite part is the echoes because they can be used in so many ways. Nice to finally have Zelda as the main character in a Zelda game, as i didn’t really want my daughter to play a Zelda game as Link. However, i think Echoes has effectively shelved Princess Peach’s Showtime, at least for the time being. Parents should be ready to help in the early stages of the game, with creative solutions and tips to help young minds blossom - personal Zelda experience is definitely a plus!

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!!

Finally a game where you get to be Zelda herself! Once again, Nintendo delivers another Legend of Zelda masterwork. A spiritual-successor to the wonderful Link’s Awakening remake (in the same isometric adorable toy-like chibi art aesthetic style!) LOVE IT !

Really fun have in the Zelda world! Would highly recommend

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

Creative, fresh, but still feels like a Zelda game, a different entry in the franchise that makes you feel like you are in the world of Zelda with a different twist, good story (surprisingly) and great gameplay. I recommend to give it a try
