I will fully admit this game had me concerned from the moment I saw the first glimpses of footage of the gameplay. With the absolute starvation of traditional, top-down Zelda titles since A Link Between Worlds I was much more looking forward to one of those... and the 3D ones going to open-world faff abouts in the form of Breath of Wild made the series pretty unapproachable for me for awhile there.\n\nI am anxiously hoping the scope of Echoes of Wisdom was kept small enough to not just feel like another open-world schlockfest where the idea of tight design is thrown to the side just to support a "do anything" approach. I am not optimistic, but I am hopeful.\n\nMaybe I will end up really liking this game, but the only way to find out is to get in there and try it.\n\nEnjoy!~
