Princess Zelda takes the lead in a creative, puzzle-packed Hyrule.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom does something the series has never done in a mainline top-down adventure: it puts Princess Zelda in the starring role. The result is one of the most refreshing Zelda games in years, and a must-play for fans on Nintendo Switch.
Zelda's signature tool lets her create "echoes" — copies of objects and even enemies she's encountered — and use them however she likes. Stack beds to climb a cliff, summon a monster to fight for you, or conjure a table to cross a gap. Most puzzles and fights have many solutions, so the game constantly rewards creativity and experimentation.
Wrapped in the same gorgeous diorama-style look as the Link's Awakening remake, Echoes of Wisdom sends Zelda across a Hyrule being swallowed by mysterious rifts. It's approachable, clever, and full of personality from start to finish.
Echoes of Wisdom is available digitally on the Nintendo eShop. The simplest way to download it is with a Nintendo eShop card — your code is emailed within minutes. New to redeeming? See how to redeem an eShop card on Switch.
