I have watched a bit of gameplay and it looks fun. It has a very similar vibe to TotK, but 2D.I’ve been looking forward to this one since its announcement, partly because the series’ namesake is finally the protagonist for once. I’m pleased to report that she isn’t just Link in a new cloak, which hooked me even more after getting my hands on it.
- Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom
Rather than swinging the sword, her gameplay revolves around spawning objects and even enemies at will, and that is seamlessly incorporated both in combat and solving puzzles. It’s important to think about how enemies interact with each other and the environment, and sometimes that requires out-of-the-box thinking. It’s an approach that I think works both as enticing to relative newcomers (like myself) and a welcome change of pace for Zelda veterans. I definitely recommend this one to the Switch owners here.
I got this game yesterday on a whim, I haven't been following it whatsoever and I didn't watch reviews or anything like that so I had no idea what the game would be like. I was initially a bit let down it wasn't just playing as Zelda with a sword, but then quickly got hooked to the new mechanics of spawning items and enemies. It's a bit of a puzzle game mixed into a Zelda world and it's very addicting to see which items/enemies work best in any scenario.I’ve been looking forward to this one since its announcement, partly because the series’ namesake is finally the protagonist for once.

The comparisons to TOTK are very apt IMO. While Echoes has a linear main quest to follow, the game otherwise lets you loose with exploring and the tools at your disposal. I haven’t felt this excited discovering new places and items in a game in quite some time.I have watched a bit of gameplay and it looks fun. It has a very similar vibe to TotK, but 2D.

Is your Xbox softmodded ? You can sharpen the visuals massively but turning off the soften and, blur I think settings. Works wonders on a CRT.TOCA Race Driver 3, dug out my original Xbox and wanted to try out the code generator things I saw mentioned on here to unlock all the various classes I never got round to. Fully licenced Aussie V8 Supercars, DTM, British F3, Castle Combe, Mondello Park, Indycar….I’d forgotten just how big this game is. Somehow on the Xbox it looks more solid than I remember and that slightly grainy, muted look on my CRT kinda fits with the broadcasts of mid 2000s races, so…..it’s fine. It’s 20 years old and genuinely looks fine. The rally physics are poor but aside from that, it’s fun and I’d forgotten that it even has a track inspired by the Scottish loch bonus track from TOCA 2. This was making a very good stab at Project CARS ten years before that even saw the light of day. It’s a shame it never got an Xbox360 version with HD visuals because it was released after the next gen was introduced I think.
