The Legend of Zelda: The Echoes of Wisdom (2024) • Page 4

There are things to collect and secrets to discover all over. But, okay.

 

But any unexplored areas wouldn't be on your map yet?

 

Do you think you find everything on one pass?

 

Then isn't it great you have so many ways to go back and find what you've missed?

 

That's what's awesome about it though! You can choose to not use them, and I can choose to use them. It's a win-win for everybody

 

Screw the way points, just grab a cute horse and ride

Tbh the map doesn’t even feel that big when exploring. I saw it was eight times the size of the Link’s Awakening map but I don’t believe it. It’s certainly not small, but it doesn’t feel that big.

 

Also curious what everyone’s most used item is so far? Mine is easily the bed. Not for rest reasons (shoutout to Zelda’s bed) but to reach places high and far.

 

8 times bigger? This felt either similar or even smaller.

I used a horse for about 30 seconds outside of the races at the ranch.

 

Bed, Peahat, trampoline, crows, crawltula

 

Beds were huge until I got the platform thing and the cloud.

Beyond that it depends on who I’m fighting. But some of the main crew were crows, elemental keese, wizrobes, shark, lizalfos, spear moblins.

Thr flying tile is super helpful, too.

 

Agree, kind of strange.

Oops, the new Zelda game is "8 times the size" of Link's Awakening because Nintendo and Echoes of Wisdom devs just couldn't help themselves

 

I'm looking at the map and I can believe it. I don't think you guys realize how small Link's Awakening's map is when you're actually looking at it.

 

I'm loving this game, totally smitten. I really enjoy the way it flows, it's like stumbling into one little puzzle after another. I know this is a weird comparison, but battle reminds me of Ni No Kuni a little bit, but better lol

 

So far I'd rank the dungeons

1) desert dungeon (big shock because the desert dungeons in the past games have been my least favorite)
2) First hyrule castle dungeon. Or only hyrule castle dungeon? Idk if it comes back or not later on
3) River dungeon
4) Lanayru dungeon. That thing was annoying
I've also been leveling up the energy bar for the sword before anything else.

 

Finally got to the point in the game where I can get the outfits to talk to cats. Stoked.

 

There are two cat outfits it seems. One in the game and one from amiibo.

 

I love that this is a thing that is happening.

 

I hope they take this momentum and let me pet dogs in whatever comes after TOTK

 

You definitely were able to pet dogs in Totk and maybe BOTW too?

 

About to be at the first dungeon. Having fun. I didn’t even know this was coming out

 

Definitely not in botw anyway

 

This is false. Haha you could sort of rub against them by crouching, but that’s it.

 

Damn you’re right I think I had a false memory because of this twitter account lol

 

I giggle every time you break a pot or box in peoples houses and towns in this game.

Why couldn't Nintendo do something like this
