The opening section of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is fairly linear, but it doesn't take long for Zelda to be presented with a significant branching path. After Zelda makes her way to Southhorn Village and takes care of some business there, the main quest offers a choice between venturing into the Gerudo Desert to the west or heading northeast to Jabul Waters.

It doesn't take a keen eye to see that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Build off of these Link's Awakening Remake from five years ago, but whether it's an improvement over its predecessor may be a more contentious point. Like the original Link's AwakeningThe remake showcases the Seldom Formula at its best, delivering classic grand dungeon and puzzle design while exploring its own setting and tone.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is filled to the brim with charming NPCs, but as lovely as it may be to talk to them, they are not necessarily the smartest citizens that Hyrule has ever seen.

Rifts appeared in Eldin Volcano, Faron Wetlands and Holy Mount Lanayru, which are respectively to the northwest, north and southeast of Hyrule Castle. There is nothing that should stop Zelda from doing it firstSo it comes down to a question of the optimal approach. The choice between Eldin Volcano, Faron Wetlands, and Holy Mount Lanayru is similar to the earlier coin flip between Gerudo Desert and Jabul Waters, but with three options, it can be an…
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Draws a lot of inspiration from both old and new Seldom games, and one item that finally returns has been absent from the series for a long time. Re-using and remixing the ideas of past games has always been a staple of the series, and it's not uncommon for concepts that don't show up for a while to find a home again.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Has a lot of useful accessories for Zelda to equip, but there's really only one choice for which one she should use most of the time.

Zelda starts with only one accessory…
