I haven't done a video game review in a while...and trust me I had a ton of video game reviews I planned to do. Hey here we are at a review of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. I gotta admit this game was WAY better than I expected. Lets get into it.
In this game you start surprisingly as Link (as every other game in the series)....and you fight Ganon right away at full hearts etc. Its pretty exciting...but after that Link falls into a portal and you find yourself playing as Zelda. Zelda goes to the castle only to see her father, the king fall into a rift (portal) and then imposters come out. After that Zelda gets blamed for the rifts and is thrown in jail.
I'll try to minimize spoilers but you get help from a little yellow fairy thing called Tri. Tri can make copies or echoes of objects or enemies. Its so helpful and unique. While watching other play this game on twitch I'd be like "wow I didn't solve the puzzle like that..." or "wow I didnt beat the enemy that way". Yeah this game is just so unique.
There's a good amount of dungeons here too. They've got that classic Zelda feel. A boss key chest etc. The dungeons aren't typically that long. Some of them were really tough tho as far puzzles. There are a few echoes that were really helpful like beds lol. Beds let you build bridges and if you rest on one, you get your health back. Water blocks and clouds later in the game were also incredible. And as far as enemies go most Zelda staples are here like moblins, keese, and skulltulas.
I found most of the bosses to be pretty easy. The final boss is a marathon of a fight. It takes quite a while to beat. Overall its a terrific game. Definitely one of the better top down Zelda games.
Verdict 9.5
