It's finally here, folks! We've reached the launch week of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (it launches tomorrow, in fact) and it's time to see the results of the very first review courtesy of Famitsu . Shared by Ryokutya2089 (via Gematsu ), the Japanese publication awarded the Zelda-led adventure a 35/40 , with a 10/9/8/8 critic split. Not too shabby, eh? As a reminder, Famitsu gave Link's last adventure, Tears of the Kingdom , a perfect 40/40, while the Switch remaster of Link's Awakening (to which EoW appears to share a lot of DNA) got an identical 35/40.
And Echoes of Wisdom wasn't the only Switch game to pop up in Famitsu this week. Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed landed 31/40 (8/8/8/7), NBA 2K25 scored 33/40 (9/8/8/8), No Case Should Remain Unsolved got 33/40 (8/9/8/8) and Pico Park 2 received 34/40 (9/8/8/9). Keep an eye out for our full review of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, which will be available soon enough.
In the meantime, you can take a look at our hands-on preview below..
