SAVE $7.96: As of Oct. 29, get The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom for Nintendo Switch for $49.99 at Woot. That’s a discount of 18%.
The Legend of Zelda is an enduring adventure series that’s been around since the days of the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Usually, you take on the mantle of Link, the Hero of Time and work to rescue the beautiful Princess Zelda and the kingdom of Hyrule. But for so long, fans have asked to swap the roles and give Zelda a chance at being the hero for once. That actually happened this year, when The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom made its Switch debut. And if you haven’t had a chance to experience it yet, now’s a great time since it’s on sale.
As of Oct. 29, you can get The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom for $49.99 at Woot. That’s $7.96 off its normal price and a discount of 18%. This is the physical edition, so it’ll have to be shipped to you, and it’s a Nintendo Switch exclusive.
In this adventure, you take on the role of Zelda as she creates “echoes” of monsters and items she meets along her adventure to save Link and the kingdom. The Tri Rod, given to her by a fair named Tri, is her way to interact with the world as it can summon multiple monsters and copies of items. She can also use the action “Bond” to tie objects to her and move with her. Of course, she can also fight with a sword that gives her the daring new Swordfighter form. She’s got everything she needs at her disposal to bring Link back, which will likely be a refreshing change of pace for players who have been asking to step into her shoes for some time.
Mashable reviewer Alex Perry praised its “old-school structure with new ideas” and “creative puzzle-solving” as well as its art style and great soundtrack: “Its aesthetic and music are endearing, the echo system creates tons of really clever puzzle solutions, and it harkens back to old Zelda games without abandoning what makes the newer ones special.”
