Echoes of Wisdom is a really great game but... (Review)

I'll admit, I was not hyped for this game so it wasn't too hard for it to live up to my expectations. I enjoyed it far more than I was expecting with the best case scenario. HOWEVER, I do have some gripes with it. Spoiler warning.

Okay so my first issue is the AI of Echoes. They take so long to attack that they often die before they're able to land a hit. I found it very easy to be low on Might Meter, so some fights took FOREVER because the Echoes were being dumb.

Another issue I have with the game is how it feels like a massive retcon. People like to throw that at TotK, but I can easily fit it into the timeline anyways. Fortunately for the game, I hate the timeline! I think a three way split timeline limits them on what they can call back to in a game. So basically, the way THIS world was created was the three goddesses decided to create the world (and the Tris) to stop Null from eating all life. They also renamed the Triforce to Prime Energy for some reason?

Ok done with my gripes. Everything else about this game is super good. The soundtrack was far better than I was expecting based on the previews Nintendo did on Twitter. The story and characters are very good. The dungeons and bosses are some of the best in the series for me as well (especially the final boss).

Overall, Echoes of Wisdom is a really, really good game and my 5th favorite Zelda game now sitting right below TotK, SSHD, MM and Link's Awakening.

Hey, did you know that you can both sit and fall asleep in the silent realms?

Did you also know guardians have no chill and will still hit you?

When you're just travelling with your best friend and then a murderous sword guy tries to kill you. (But then your best friend jumps in the way-)

Heard from someone that Ghirahim does something funny when you just stand there during his fight. I tried standing there with my sword out, he just shot daggers at me, so I sheathed my sword to see what happens. He bitch-slapped me in the face! Didn’t like not being taken seriously, huh Ghirahim?

[fuckit-hero-of-trains]

am I being big brained or completely stupid:

is the Master Sword called the Master Sword because Fi calls Link Madas (Master) so after he cleanses the sword in the final flame, she literally named her own evolved sword Madas’ Sword???

I can’t stand that part in skyward sword when Zelda goes in the crystal I can’t stand it I just can’t stand it Link desperately banging his fists on the amber hoping she’s kidding hoping she’s just joking even though he knows she isn’t he knows she has to do this and then he just stares at her with those wide eyes after she says goodbye and the shock is so evident on his face and then he just crumples and does that little sob and I just can’t stand it-

[thatskindasapphic]

Skyward Sword is so fucking funny. Zelda really just pushes you off of Skyloft and then after she saves you she’s more concerned about her loftwing than, you know, her childhood friend she almost killed

[skyview-temple-spring]

I noticed something Fledge mentions when you first talk to him that clears some things up about the Wing Ceremony and graduation from the academy—he says he's not part of it and basically being held back because he's not good at flying, so it's not that everyone enters the race and only one graduates, but that the Wing Ceremony is graduation and the winner is kind of like the valedictorian

Has anyone else noticed that the sound effect for something surprising happening in skyward sword and the successful cooking sound in breath of the wild are… the same?

Like… that’s the same sound effect!

@attllhak ‘s Surface too Soon inspired Branching Timelines Link’s full outfit! That is a mouthful but it is the proper title lmao, but yeah, even after this series of events Link insists on continuing his role as the faux Goddess so Zelda takes it upon herself to craft him armor befitting both a Goddess and a Knight, using the old torn ceremonial dress he had before as the main tunic,  the other parts were stolen from skyloft

I tried to do a mix of both of Zelda’s Goddess attire (the costume at the beginning and the dress the rest of the game) with the standard knight outfit, also including some elements from other things such as the bird that usually has the triforce above it (i do not know what it’s called) and the triforce earrings which were inspired by this design for @blueskittlesart own little role swap thing (they have a lot of cool art go follow them please) Showing this off here as in the main little comic thing it’s gonna be way simplified to ease my suffering, in this attire he wields the Goddess Sword and the Goddess Shield (the fully upgraded version of the Sacred shield) Again this wonderful outfit and au was inspired by @attllhak fic Surface too Soon, which was inspired by @tortilla-of-courage
