Nintendo and GREZZO’sThe Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomis my favoriteZeldagame in eighteen years.
I’ll be honest here,Breath of the Wildnearly clicked with me, but it never really did.
The answer, thankfully, is absolutely yes.
Some are good for traversal, some are used to solve puzzles, and some are just plain fun.
“Easy and entertaining” is probably the best way to describeEchoes of Wisdomas a whole.
What Kind Of Zelda Fan Are You?
When playingEchoes of Wisdom, however,it’s hard not to feel likethisis Zelda’s actual legend.
That’s not to say it’s a perfect game.
It’s especially nice to seeboth versions of Zora inEchoes ofWisdom.
Of course, both of them love music.
I’m so glad people loved the freedom and go-anywhere-do-anything approach ofBreath of the WildandTears of the Kingdom.
Those are great games, and they are, unequivocally and undeniably,Legend of Zeldagames.
But, to me, they weren’t the “classicZeldagame” I’d been looking forward to.
They weren’t telling the same story I had gotten so invested in.Echoes of Wisdomis.
If you’ve been waiting for the series to return to its roots, this isn’t quite that.
Strange rifts are tearing Hyrule apart, and with Link missing, it’s up to Princess Zelda to save the kingdom. Armed with the Tri Rod and aided by a mysterious fairy, she must solve puzzles, create environmental “echoes,” and battle enemies while navigating new regions and uncovering hidden secrets.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomreleases on September 26, 2024, for the Nintendo Switch.
