Echoes Of Wisdom Is The Ultimate Treat For All Zelda Fans Apparently

[@JoiningIrons3306]

If you’re getting this game day one 👇

[@WilberforceWooster]

Could be like the original Legend of Zelda, you COULD do the dungeons out of order, but you'd run into roadblocks without certain items. Particularly, the 2nd Quest where you HAD to do dungeons out of order to get certain items and then come back. I am just happy there is tight game design in the dungeons, rather than just helter skelter do anything.

[@richardmahn7589]

I would love to be able to enter any area and go so far in but get stucked, as long as you know you're in the wrong place...like enemies that are too strong, or terrain that is too hard to cross, but still doable.

[@jjackjenkins]

I would love that. Not sure why that method hasn’t been used more often. Like give us 3 dungeons at a time but lock us from the rest till we get past those.

[@netweed09]

Yes, it's like a mix of Tears' total Freedom but carrying on from its Legacy dungeons and bosses (not the total generic blight clones that Breath had) and adding the more intricate, puzzly linear style from the older games. If Zelda continues to move in this direction, We can already be extremely excited for the next Game too as Mr Aonuma has guaranteed a new Hyrule map for that one!

[@kickitsmooth]

The game already looked like they were taking the new Zelda formula and making something original which is what I wanted. Adding traditional elements as well is just a bonus since Im a fan if both styles.

[@RedX03]

When I saw you can just walk on the trees I was sold. Like it definitely looks like they heard the fans concern for classic style dungeons and those who like open world botw style and they did that meme were they press both buttons at once

[@cheenuchari]

I feel like Echoes of Wisdom is an experimental testbed for testing out what it would be like to play as Zelda as well as figuring out how to make the open air game design work well with the dungeon designs of 'traditional Zelda' games. I am super hyped for this game! I really love the map design and how it feels inspired by a mix of A Link To The Past, Ocarina of Time, a little Majora's Mask with the Deku section, and Breath Of The Wild.

[@neonswift]

They coined the phrase open air but games used to just be known as emergent or immersive sim. I think open air as a term is meant to deecribe open world AND emergent in one.

[@JetLagRecords]

AndresRestart, your channel is a must watch for me now

[@rebeccahannah117]

I can’t believe that this game comes out in just a few weeks! I cannot wait to play it day one!!!

[@cullenmuir2707]

Honestly I'm fine with them not going back to the old 2D formula if they just do stuff like this, but I'd be happy if they kept it as a new game+ of sorts or even do a character select that dictates how you run through the game.

[@Kid_illithid]

I was already hype but after the most recent gameplay trailer, I am obsessively excited.

[@jacksonvoet8312]

I’m just glad that Dampe is taking an interest in robotics. Thousands of years of reincarnation will eventually cause the soul to seek a career change.

[@jackconey5948]

Its great that its become a hybrid of both styles im hyped 😊

[@blakelandry9313]

I’m honestly glad but they’re doing a mix of both some of the best features from breath of the wild and best features from the original games making it almost feel like the original legend of Zelda hopefully this game does really well so Zelda team really know what the fans want

[@PixelPikmin]

I’m really excited for this game. It has a larger 2D world and more linear classic dungeons to do in it. I hope Nintendo makes the next 3D Zelda like this, because this might just be the best combination of old and new Zelda yet

[@benjaminmead9036]

i think it was very clear that tears of the kingdom was experimenting with more traditional dungeon strucutres. goron expeirmented with 3 hit weaknesses and 2 miniboss like encounters, traversal puzzles to limited success and botw bosses, zora did septerate small shrine like challenges and wail on em boss battle, rito did modified 3 hit weakness, much better traversal puzzles and was the one with the most botw style dungeon set piece. and gerudo did some neat tower defense stuff and had a very interconnected dungeon in comparison to the rest, where the whole dungeon is used for most puzzles

[@chainclaw07]

I think the rifts work more like how in ToTK there was a crisis in each town and after the crisis is averted, more sidequests get unlocked. what I want in terms of linearity is that 3 of the dungeons might need item X and Y to even get into so you can walk up to the dungeons but not progress. but 3 dungeons have no required items and only gives you like X and Y and Z as a first tier of dungeons. then on the second tier maybe 3 dungeons require EITHER X or Y or Z and in them you can get A B and C. a fourth tier of dungeons would require different combinations like X Y B and C or Z Y A and B. you can find the dungeons but instead of in like links awakening where you get a key - you'd need items to even get past the lobby of those dungeons. a link between worlds kind of did this BUT you had to open the dungeon with the item - which you could just buy in a shop, which would be the difference.

[@Elbasura774]

the control takeover mechanic is gold

[@anthonynelson3536]

Mr restart I'm more excited about this then the last game they made

[@AndresRestart]

While I loved TOTK, I am happy to hear this game is appealing to other types of Zelda fans!

[@NitwitsWorld]

Listening to Minish Cap music makes me hope for a Minish Cap remake more than ever

[@ravenebony2267]

It's a really good one

[@voltron77]

Honestly, I’m replaying Minish cap right now and it doesn’t need a remake, it’s aged beautifully.

[@NitwitsWorld]

@@voltron77 I absolutely agree. However, it definitely has a distinct art style, unlike the Link's Awakening remake. For example, the art style is modeled after Wind Waker, so a game studio would have to execute this remake perfectly while maintaining the colorful world of Minish Cap's sprites. I would love to play the classic on NSO, but I can't afford a subscription.

[@voltron77]

@@NitwitsWorld Yeah, link’s awakening’s artstyle (while I really love it on the game boy) was very simple and let the player fill in the details, this allowed the remake to be very creative and make something gorgeous that was reused for echoes of wisdom and that’s really cool. I’d say for Minish cap, hand-drawn art would probably be best.

[@NitwitsWorld]

@@voltron77 Probably a good idea

[@Guy4385]

By far my favorite KZbinr to watch.. always has the scoop before anyone else

[@voltron77]

We don’t need a hybrid, old Zelda is perfect the way it is, but it seems that echoes of wisdom will be incredible and not suffer from the problems of the open world Zelda’s whilst still having their advantages, I’m hyped as hell.

[@Ray-dl5mp]

Perfect balanced take. I wish all gamers could be as smart with the big picture as you. We just want a fun game. We want something new (or not). But it has to work, not be a game that can be easily cheesed or too easy. And we have to care about what happens next. Hopefully Nintendo gets that this time. Looks incredible !

[@voltron77]

I’ll probably get it after seeing all the gameplay footage, but it just made me want another Wind Waker

[@alizeearrigoni2919]

Hello Andres, I just watched a preview gameplay video of The Legend of Zelda Echoes of wisdom. A french KZbinr by the way. And I was strucked by two little details... Have you watched closely Zelda's hooded... cape ??? (Sorry I can't find the exact word in English) Well, the marks on it and even the colors remind me a lot of Zelda Twilight Princess... Also, the music playing when the void progresses on the land sounds a lot like Twilight Princess... You know, the one that plays when you meet the masked monsters coming from the dark dimension for exemple... COULD IT BE A SIGN ?❤ Sorry, wasn't so easy to explain this time. I hope you get it anyway 🤞

[@beesleep23]

can't decide if i should buy another pair of vouchers and use one for this. not sure what other future Switch games i'll want in the next year though. guessing you won't be able to use them for Switch 2 things.

[@elapindral8191]

It looks puzzle heavy which is my favorite part in all of zeldadom.

[@humbertolopezdimitri2593]

I do hope people can finally set differences aside with this game bringing the best of both worlds

[@richardmahn7589]

This better reach me, who only liked the Link's Crossbow training game!

It looks amaziiing, the only thing I’m mixed about is the traditional dungeons, thought we were past that but I’m going to harass every other Zelda fan over it lol

@@AndresRestart yeah maybe that will keep it fresh. I just pictured myself going for the usual map, compass and key again and it wasn’t that exiting lol but I’ll go in with an open mind, it really looks like a generational game

[@higurashikai09]

​@@56ty_ I agree that the Map, Compass, Key formula is a bit dry, I also don't like the Map Terminals from BotW/TotK. BotW worked because the Divine Beasts were interesting to me, but I think it made TotK's dungeons suffer especially the Water Dungeon. I would like to see them try new things with the dungeons and mix it up within one game rather than have a specific formula for each dungeon.

[@56ty_]

@@higurashikai09 you’re right. If I think of ways to improve the dungeons of totk (which I still loved) I think of having the physics work towards a central mechanic. That would make them feel 100% organic

[@Flamister76]

No it’s not. Not even close. Only the soy era Zelda fans like this puzzle crap.
