The Legend of Zelda fans will finally get to play as Zelda herself in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. The highly anticipated new entry in the series is arriving on September 26. Fans who watched this week’s Nintendo Direct may have recognized the game’s art style. Echoes of Wisdom brings back the colorful visual aesthetic of the 2019 remake of Link’s Awakening. If you haven’t played the stellar remake yet, now’s a great time to pick it up. Walmart is selling Link’s Awakening for $40, down from $60, for a limited time.
The Switch remake earned an 8/10 in our The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening review. “Though the remake has a couple of blemishes, it’s still an easy game to recommend. People speak of Link’s Awakening as the secret best Zelda game,” critic Peter Brown wrote. “That’s a tough call to make, but it’s definitely one of the best. If you haven’t touched a classic Zelda game in a while, Link’s Awakening will almost instantly transport you back to the ’90s. It’s simple, in many ways, but the orchestrated journey still conveys a sense of adventure, and this new version is without question the best way to experience it. And more than anything else, it will put a smile on your face. Remakes are a dime a dozen nowadays and often easy to overlook. Don’t make that mistake with Link’s Awakening.”
Link’s Awakening isn’t the only Zelda game on sale right now, though. You can also save on the other three mainline Zelda games that have received physical releases on Switch:
