Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love playing this game. It's fun and I like figuring out the puzzles to progress in the game.

Review of “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” “Tears of the Kingdom” is a masterful continuation of the Zelda franchise that builds on the foundation laid by Breath of the Wild while introducing fresh mechanics and an expansive world that feels alive and endlessly explorable. The game’s story dives deeper into Hyrule’s lore, offering emotional depth and memorable characters, while the new crafting and fusion systems bring creativity to combat and puzzle-solving. Visually stunning and accompanied by a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, the game perfectly balances freedom and structure, allowing players to tackle challenges their way. Whether you’re gliding over picturesque landscapes, solving intricate shrines, or battling fearsome foes, every moment feels crafted with care. For fans and newcomers alike, “Tears of the Kingdom” is a must-play that sets a new standard for open-world adventure games.

It’s such a new style of play that it won’t feel like you’re just playing another Zelda game. I taste a hint of BOTW meets classic Zelda topped with a spoonful of this unique play mechanic called “echoes”. Awesome game!

As a fan of Zelda since the original NES version, this game is very fun with great gameplay mechanics, it's art style is very similar to Link's Awakening (Switch Remake). The star rating is off, because MOST people are reviewing BEST BUY NOT the product. PLEASE use Google reviews, or the BBB to review best buy. This is for the GAME.

PROS: As a huge Legend of Zelda and Nintendo in general fan I had my hopes up high unfortunately they were not fully optained. The game itself is fun, gameplay spot on, puzzles and dungeons great. CONS: To start with I was hoping that Zelda’s first solo game would have more original ideas and concepts instead the majority if not all of the core components are recycled from previous titles. The dungeons lack a variety of enemy types minus the bosses. I can not recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a new spin on old gameplay concepts.

Such a neat game. A different experience, but still traditional Zelda game fun. This is a game that will definitely get replayed. I’m glad princess Zelda got her own game. Wouldn’t mind seeing another.

This is one of those rare gems that's comes around every now and then. I'm this game the player is put into the role of Princess Zelda, who is swiftly saved by Link from Ganon and finds himself sucked into a mysterious void. Your task is to find the source of the voids that have appeared around Hyrule and to find Link. Zelda herself is not suited for combat so she is equipped with an item that allows her to create illusions of enemies and various objects called echoes. These can fight in her place. Early on, you will come across an item that allows Zelda to temporarily become a sword fighter which can be used as a last resort in fighting tougher creatures. This game is very charming and I found myself liking it a bit more than I'd expected. For fans of this franchise it's a nice return to the old-school Zelda feel with puzzle box dungeons and a story that takes you around the world. Highly recommend playing!

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a nice change of pace from the traditional formula we’ve seen from 2D Zelda games since their inception. While the combat is clunky and Zelda has limited attack options, playing as her is a welcome addition. The game combines the multiple-solutions of puzzle solving found in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom via the echoes. For the first time in a 2D Zelda game, I was no longer bound to a walkthrough. I was able to complete the majority of the dungeons and puzzles on my own without the use of a guide, which was a gratifying feeling. Swapping between echoes for solving puzzles was annoying however, as the UI is just a never ending straight line. It would’ve been nice if they pulled from Super Mario Maker 2 and had multiple wheels to divide the Echoes based on particular categories. Besides the Exhoes, the gameplay is still incredible, with surprisingly mature characters and emotional storylines. This is a nice swan song for the Switch 1 in 2024, alongside Mario and Luigi Brothership. If you want just 1 more first-party Nintendo title before the next console, pick this up.

i was massively disappointed by tears of the kingdom and so i was a little bit apprehensive about echoes of wisdom but i genuinely had a lot of fun with it. very cute and fun, 100%ed it without feeling frustrated or overwhelmed, hope this game does well enough that nintendo might consider a playable zelda in the next 3d game

I dont know about the preorder bonus causing 1 stars, but this game is amazing! I love how the programmers figure out how yet still to this day, make new game mechanics. Absolutely awesome!

They nailed this one - a total delight. Nintendo had once again “done something different” with this series and still made it enjoyable and familiar. You can always come home to Hyrule. And as always, the purchase experience at Best Buy is super easy.

Was a fun game. I seldom enjoy a game enough to complete it 100%. I didn't 100% this game - I gave up on the horse racing - but very close to it. It's mostly about the semi-open world in which you'll quickly gain the tools needed to explore and find every hidden area and item, with plenty of dungeons mixed in.

Finally a game where you get to be Zelda herself! Once again, Nintendo delivers another Legend of Zelda masterwork. A spiritual-successor to the wonderful Link’s Awakening remake (in the same isometric adorable toy-like chibi art aesthetic style!) LOVE IT !

I bought this for my girlfriend because she is a major Zelda fan and so far, she has forgotten I exist! She’s in love with this game, and seemingly doesn’t want to rush through it because it “lasts longer that way”. Great game and definitely a fun one for any fan of The Legend of Zelda.

Title says all you need to know. Echoes of Wisdom is my favorite 2D Zelda game. That's high praise with some stellar 2D games out there with the legendary LTTP and 3DS' Link Between Worlds. I dont say that lightly, nor do I think many will share my opinion, but for me this one's my favorite 2D Zelda to play. Essentially, its BOTW as a 2D game. As someone who adored the openness & freedom that BOTW gave the Zelda franchise, seeing this in a 2D game was perfect. Also, its just chalked full of Zelda-isms and easter eggs. I guarantee you there's something from your favorite Zelda game somewhere in this one. I know its a big departure with Zelda and echoes vs. Link and his sword, but its adds a strategic element thats really rewarding when you get creative with the mechanic. I just loved it.

I absolutely adore this game. Its a lot fun, not overly complicated and has a charming art style. I gave it 4 stars because there are two things that I do not like. FIRST is the slow down. Sometines and not a lot, the game slows tona crawl in certain instances. SECOND, the menu system for all the echoes gets cumbersome while searching for the echo that you need. Overall a very fun and well made game. Certainly would recommend it.

An amazing game. It borrows from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom for some of the mechanics but looks and feels like Link to the Past and Link's Awakening. I am almost finished with the game but it has been very fun so far.

After playing botw and totk this is a welcome change. It's fairly different from the other two and yet it does have it similarities. Just a fun game to pick up and get lost in. Graphics are amazing and the controls work great. The new echo creating is awesome and very useful. Great game.

FINALLY, after all this time, we get to play as Zelda!! With all the other Zelda games playing as Link, you get very familiar with how to solve the problems the game has with Link. Now playing as Zelda, you have to get use to a whole new way solving puzzles and defeating enemies.

Disclosure, I have played every major Zelda game in the series since the original debut for NES 1986, so I may be biased. The series abandoned the classic formula with BOTW and TOFK, making the series more approachable for even the youngest of players (think Mario Galaxy) but left the more seasoned player or an older novice wanting more. Enter Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. A healthy mix of classic Zelda elements: stylized visuals, interesting play dynamics, dungeons, robust characters, dramatic story development. Much more depth and richly rewarding, an enjoyable title done in the spirit of Links Awakening. If BOTW and TOTK were your introduction to the series, you owe it to yourself to treat yourself to this classic Zelda experience.
