Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a big release for the franchise as Zelda herself is the main protagonist you’ll be playing as throughout the adventure.

Today, Game Source Entertainment provided the release date for Voice Love On Air on Switch. The game arrives on December 19, 2024.

Voice Love On Air was first announced for Switch at the very start of the year. Initially planned for this past spring, the game was unexpectedly delayed and is now coming out in a few months.
