Summary
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomhas received a new update for both the Switch and Switch 2 that fixes a frustrating issue with the Echoes in the game. WhileZelda: Echoes of Wisdomreceived generally positive reviews, not everything was perfect about the game. For those who have experienced frustration with the game’s core mechanic, this fix should make playing as Zelda much more enjoyable.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomfinally delivered on something that fans have been begging for over the years and decades: agame that makes Zelda the playable protagonist hero, not Link. WhileTears of the Kingdomalso gave Zelda a more prominent role to play in the title,Echoes of Wisdompromptly puts Link in the background, leaving the titular princess with the role of saving everyone.
Now,The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomhas received an update that has made a change to the way that Echoes work. In this particular game,Echoes are Zelda’s powerto duplicate items and creatures, allowing her to use them to solve puzzles or to defend herself from attackers. The new 1.1.0 update made a few changes to the title, including a feature to only display a player’s favorited Echoes after they’ve learned 30 of them. While previously favoriting Echoes could help players to find the ones that they use most often, players still had to sift through a potentially long list to find them. This new feature could speed up gameplay dramatically by fixing this issue.
The remainder of theEchoes of Wisdomupdate primarily has to do with improving visuals and optimizing the game for the Nintendo Switch 2. The original Nintendo Switch version has also received a fix to “various issues” to create a smoother experience. The Nintendo Switch 2 version has had its visuals optimized for the new improved hardware and high-resolution screens, plus adding support for theNintendo Switch 2’s HDRcapabilities. These additions are part ofThe Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’s free Switch 2 update, in contrast to games likeTears of the KingdomandBreath of the Wild, which are receiving more extensive upgrades for a cost.
While only those who own the newer console will see significant improvements to the game’s visuals, it’s good to know that the original version of the title and owners of theNintendo Switch get a free upgradewith a major gameplay improvement. Fans can download the update now.
