That's pretty cool. As a girl dad with kids that are getting into gaming, I think they will enjoy this one.

i need to go back and finish Tears of the Kingdom.

I was super excited to play that game, but it just felt like carbon copy derivative of BoTW, so I kind of just lost my motivation.

I felt the same way but my goodness did the tear quests and especially the final boss sequence change my mind.

It went from feeling like a DLC for BotW to maybe the most emotional moments I've ever had playing a video game.

I felt the same way. Moreso, it just felt overwhelmed by all the crap I needed to explore, especially the underworld area. That was becoming monotonous to explore in the dark, and I just got side tracked by other games.

BotW is in my top 3 games of all time. TotK is still unfinished.

Now, this particular game with Zelda looks very intriguing. I love how it's Zelda, but not a replacement of Link. It's Zelda being Zelda, not trying to be Link. This will be a day one purchase for me.

I was underwhelmed by BoTW after hearing all the hype. The world just felt a little too empty.

But ToTK blew me away. There was so much more to do! The fuze mechanics were a great innovation on the classic formula, the story was well done, the dungeons were great, there was more variety in enemies, and the final boss fight rocked.

Really looking forward to Echoes and seeing where they go next. It looks like the largest map we've seen in a top-down Zelda ever, and that's pretty rad.

If this is anything like Links Awakening for Switch (it looks like it is), I'm in. I love that game and so do my kids.

ToTK is an amazing game but ******* is it completely tedious outside of the main quests

Friendly reminder this drops tomorrow. I finished Link's Awakening this weekend and I decided to just go ahead and preorder this one for my next game.

Reviews are out! Averaging an 86 on Metacritic with 81 reviews.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is far greater than a gimmicky spinoff led by Zelda instead of Link.

I will be definitely blow 60 bucks on this today.

I'm underwhelmed after a few hours. It's alright but not as engaging as Links Awakening. I'm finding combat slow and have a tendency to avoid it in the open world when I can.
Hoping it will grow on me.

Link's Awakening is a great game!

I played it and liked it for the most part. It was solid but nothing blew me away necessarily. But solid and unique. I liked it.
