The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

How long to beat Zelda Echoes of Wisdom length

Now that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has launched, some fans might be curious as to how long it takes to beat the game. 

Echoes of Wisdom is available now on Switch, and it’s the first truly new top-down entry in the series since A Link Between Worlds over ten years ago. Whereas new 3D Zelda titles are notorious for taking well over 150 hours to fully complete, Echoes of Wisdom is more of a bite-sized adventure in comparison. Still, there’s plenty of content on offer, especially if you’re going for 100 percent completion.

Zelda Echoes of Wisdom My Nintendo wanted poster tote bag

Over on My Nintendo, the rewards site is celebrating the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom with a new reward. Members can now get their hands on tote bag that features Zelda’s wanted poster from the game.

Nintendo says that the canvas gas is 100 percent cotton. You can use it to pack for casual outings or fold it up and use it to go on a shopping spree. The size measures 15″ x 16″.

Zelda Echoes Wisdom frame rate resolution

Now that Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is out on Switch, we’re able to see how the game holds up from a technical perspective – specifically frame rate and resolution. Digital Foundry delved into these topics in a new video today.

Unfortunately, similar to Grezzo’s remake of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, the main issue plaguing the game currently is the frame rate. Those hoping for a smooth 60 FPS experience might be a little disappointed.

Here’s the full roundup of tidbits:

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom still has another day to go until launch (depending on your region), but we have the launch trailer now. Fans can get another look at the gameplay, general premise, and more.

Zelda Echoes of Wisdom update 1.0.1

Many games often launch with a day one update, and that’s the case with The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom with version 1.0.1.

This is one of the smaller patches that you’ll see at release. Nintendo said that some issues have been fixed, and that’s it. The company does not elaborate any further on what exactly was addressed.

The official rundown is as follows:

Zelda Echoes of Wisdom reviews

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is almost here on Switch, and we’re rounding up some of the early reviews for the game. They’re now starting to go live with Nintendo lifting the embargo.

If you’ve been keeping up with the game, you know that Zelda being the main protagonist this time around is the big selling point. Echoes, which let the character make imitations of things found in the environment, is also something new and sets her apart from Link and his adventures.

Here’s the roundup of some of the early Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom reviews:

Zelda Echoes of Wisdom playable protagonist

The developers behind Echoes of Wisdom have opened up on the decision to make Zelda playable and take the starring role as the protagonist.

Interestingly, the team was actually thinking about Link having his standard role as the main character you play as. But as things progressed with the concept of echoes, Nintendo and Grezzo felt that the protagonist needed to be someone who lacked a sword and shield. 

Aonuma also acknowledged fan requests made over the years to see Zelda be the protagonist. After seeing the team struggle over who should be the main character in Echoes of Wisdom, it made sense for Zelda to be playable.

Aonuma and Grezzo director Satoshi Terada shared the following:

Zelda Echoes of Wisdom dungeon creating

In a new interview ahead of this week’s launch for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on Switch, the developers revealed that the game was originally being made to let players create their own dungeons. Eventually this morphed into echoes featured in the final product.

We get to hear from Grezzo director Satoshi Terada, Nintendo director Tomomi Sano, and series producer Eiji Aonuma here. The group started off by sharing the following:

As the launch for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom approaches, retailers are starting to reveal pre-order bonuses and we’re rounding them all up here. This post will be updated leading up to release.

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. Even though there’s talk of Link being playable as well, the princess should still have the starring role. Zelda will be using the Tri Rod to create “echoes” to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. 

Here’s our pre-order roundup:

Zelda Echoes of Wisdom developer

It won’t come as much of a surprise, but it does indeed look like Grezzo is the main developer behind The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

Many had speculated that this would be the case following the game’s reveal earlier in the year. Although Nintendo never confirmed that officially, it was extremely likely. After all, Echoes of Wisdom largely seems to be based on the same engine that powered the Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake that made it to Switch a few years ago.
