Release Date: September 26, 2024
A spin-off of the popular series from Nintendo. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom allows us to play as Princess Zelda and our task is to save Link and other inhabitants of Hyrule. We use the Tri Rod gadget to clone items and enemies to have them fight for us.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is an arcade-logic game and a spin-off of the best-selling The Legend of Zelda series. The development and release of this game was overseen by the Nintendo company, which is in charge of the brand.
In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom we play as Princess Zelda herself. After Link, the main protagonist of the series, managed to save her from Ganon, he was pulled into a mysterious rift. As it turns out, such rifts in space-time began to appear throughout Hyrule and cause the disappearance of other characters.
The fairy Tri unexpectedly lends a helping hand to the protagonist and gives her an artifact known as the Tri Rod, which can clone elements of the environment. The princess sets off on a journey to investigate the new mystery of her kingdom, to ward off danger and save the affected residents of Hyrule.
In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, we see events from a bird's eye view. The game focuses on solving environmental puzzles and other problems encountered along the way. We deal with them using objects cloned with the Tri Rod - the copies are called echoes.
They allow us to overcome terrain obstacles, get to hard-to-reach places and neutralize opponents. Interestingly, the artifact allows us to duplicate not only specific objects such as stools or boulders, but also nature elements (which allows us to create water blocks), and even adversaries.
Enemies must first be defeated before they can be cloned, but it is still a good tactic since a copied enemy can fight on our side.
The graphic design of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was maintained in the cartoon style known from The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.

Daily Mirror: 4 / 5 by Aaron Potter
I went into The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom wondering about where the direction of more classic Zelda games might go. Now, after rolling credits, I was delighted to see that Nintendo has (mostly) been able to find a nice middle ground about how to best pay tribute to this classic adventure series’ past while also incorporating elements of where it is now, thanks to the likes of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and its sequel. While it’s true that echo summoning is full of potential it also has its limits, as proven by that last pesky dungeon and many of the 127 featured echoes doubling up for one other. This, combined with the Nintendo Switch continuing to show its age via some less-than-ideal technical performance, holds Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom back from achieving true legendary status. However, Zelda’s time in the spotlight is still a refreshing and often surprising top-down adventure that, thanks to its central idea, comfortably stands apart from what’s come before.
But Why Tho?: 9 / 10 by Kyle Foley
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom twists the typical Zelda formula while still staying true to the franchise. It is a truly innovative experience that Nintendo will hopefully continue to explore in future entries.
Hardcore Gamer: 4.5 / 5 by Matthew Murphy
Echoes of Wisdom brings the spark of the latest games, but also dives deeper into the ethos of the old games with its use of dungeons. While the regions are the same, there's a new life that's presented in this that nails the aspect of refreshing the franchise in a way that isn’t a total reset. The game delivers on bringing those two elements together and valuing the series. While it isn’t perfect, it goes without saying that the game is impressive and reels you in right at the start and will make you want more after the credits begin to roll. Echoes of Wisdom should be seen as an addition to the mainline of The Legend of Zelda series. I mean, Zelda is in the name, so why not?
