Today, reviews for the Switch-exclusive The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom appeared online. At the time of writing, the adventure game starring Zelda holds an 86 score on Metacritic and an 86 on OpenCritic, with 91% of reviewers recommending the game.

Critics praised the game’s core mechanic, where Zelda can create copies of items and enemies. According to reviews, this mechanic allows for a variety of approaches to solving puzzles and engaging in combat. Reviewers also highlighted the well-designed puzzles, dungeons, and the beauty of the game's world.

However, some critics felt that the developers of Echoes of Wisdom didn’t fully realize the game’s potential. For example, some reviewers pointed out that the game lacks diversity in tasks and side activities, making the world feel somewhat empty.

A portion of critics were also disappointed that Zelda doesn’t differ much from Link in terms of narrative. For instance, she is also silent, and since some of Link’s combat abilities can be used in the game, the distinction between the two characters is often blurred. Additionally, some reviewers expressed frustration with performance issues and bugs.
