The Champions’ Cast Is Getting A New Name: The Zelda Cast!

Our Echoes of Wisdom coverage is coming to an end for now, as this week, we put a bow on our last few weeks worth of coverage by assigning a final score to each of the ten key categories that define a great Zelda game: the world, the art style, the gameplay, the pacing, the story, the music, the enemies and bosses, the dungeons, the items, and the side content. We debate, discuss, and talk about how this game was exactly what Zelda fans needed. All this, PLUS a little Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, and cozy gaming discussion!

We are finally taking all of your Echoes of Wisdom questions this week, and you guys didn't disappoint! We're covering a wide variety of topics, including: do we want to see more games where you play as Zelda? Specifically, do we want to see a direct sequel to Echoes? Should Zelda games reuse/reimagine the same overworld more often? Is Echoes more of a kid-friendly game than Tears of the Kingdom? Who's our favorite new character in the latest Zelda game? How does Echoes impact how we think about A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds? All this, PLUS some thoughts on the officially announced timeline placement!

We're finally diving right into our thoughts on the story of Echoes of Wisdom! A lot of the conversation revolves around Null, its reveal, its origins, and the pacing of its plot and the reveals, and how we might have altered it, if at all. We're also discussing Tri and how it compared to other companions, how Link was handled, our thoughts on story vs gameplay, how returning characters were handled and our favorite new characters, and so much more!
