It's a great intro guys
Let wisdom guide your way!!!
Here it's my first fanart of the "Legend Of Zelda" franchise to celebrate zelda first solo game as the main protagonist during this year 2024,yay!!!
Imma be honest, before today's trailer, I was feeling a bit iffy about Echoes of Wisdom. But now I'm HYPED!
They DID give Zelda a sword (of course it's limited, but STILL) and that makes me incredibly happy :D
Also, PUPPET LINK CONFIRMED I'M SO HAPPY!!!! I was so hoping they would do that after watching @/clowns0up-felix's EOW video.
Also, they took Dampé from ALBW and threw him into EOW but made him smart instead of a gravedigger who though that any man who talked to a specific woman was in love with her LMAOO
(Edit, I forgot he's also the gravedigger in OOT. I just finished a playthrough of ALBW a couple days ago, so that's what's on my mind loll)
So yeah, I'm exciteddddd
Just beat Echoes of Wisdom! Which means time for a post based on my thoughts. I'll start with nonspoiler things, like mechanics, UI, design and gameplay. Then I'll move onto spoilers, which will be under the cut.
I quite like the echo mechanic! It's very different from a normal Zelda game and so I have to actually think. Though the menus for choosing echoes sucks. They pulled a TotK again with that one which leads to annoying, endless scrolling.
They definitely copied most of the menus and such from BotW, which ig I don't mind too much, but it would've been fun to have a fresher design with some of that.
Also, I never once talked to Dampé, so idk what that's like, so I can't talk about that.
NOW. On to the spoilers! Mainly just all story stuff.
First, the whole fugitive Zelda thing was really fun. The game starts and Tri's just like "YOU GONNA DIE!!!!" Which is hilarious, btw. I wish there were more people who knew about Zelda's imprisonment throughout the journey. It would've upped the stakes a lot if word had spread and you're not sure where is safe. Oh well, missed opportunity.
Then, I just loved all the characters in this game. They all have distinct personalities and problems, it's fun watching them build character and learn more about their issues. I especially love that they brought back yetis with Condé.
Quick ship talk bc that's where my brain is taking me. Idk which ship I like more: Zelink or Zelda X Dohna in this game. Or Zelda is an independent woman who don't need romance. (Hi, I'm aroace, I always leave room for that possibility.)
Anyways, Null was a pleasant surprise! I love the lore we got surrounding them and then how clear their motive was. Null was a villain in the sense that they are very selfishly motivated. Nintendo really cooked with this villain, ngl. The fact that they aren't remotely humanoid (except the hands) is very nice, love the distinction. Null isn't redeemable because of how twisted they are. So yeah, I like Null.
Link is so interesting in this game! And he has a known personality, I love it. I'll also take his gesturing at the end of the game as him signing, instead of talking. I know that's what they were implying, but I prefer it if he just was signing. Things like that don't just randomly fix themselves. (Even if the rifts are all gone. And Null is gone. Idc pffff)
I do like the return to the traditional Zelda formula. They didn't diverge from said formula too much, but it was still open world. It kinda felt like A Link Between Worlds. That means it does suffer from the lack of a difficulty curve as you go on.
Also, Zelda is so cute in this game. Adorable outfits and I just love her model, it makes me happy.
But yeah, I love that Zelda got her chance to be a menace this time. (The amount of times I've committed arson is insane.)
