The Legend of Zelda - Echoes of Wisdom

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom launched last week, and unsurprisingly, the action-adventure title has been met with widespread praise from critics and audiences alike, even if it doesn’t quite match up to the level of praise that the top-down title’s fully 3D open world Zelda counterparts receive on a regular basis. Now, early sales data for the title is also beginning to emerhe. 

Shared by GamesIndustry’s Christopher Dring on Twitter, as per weekly data for physical software sales in the UK shared by the GSD, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of the Wisdom was the second-highest selling game in the UK last week, with EA Sports FC 25 unsurprisingly taking the top spot. These figures only account for physical sales, however.

As per Dring, the new Zelda title’s physical launch sales in the UK are 14 percent lower than 2019’s The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening remake – which was the last top-down Zelda title to be released by Nintendo – but as per Dring, once digital sales are also accounted for, it’s likely that the two games’ sales performances are going to be a lot closer than it may seem right now. 

In our review of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, we awarded it a score of 9/10, saying, “Echoes of Wisdom is a great maiden adventure for the franchise’s eponymous princess, marrying old and new convincingly, and setting up a foundation for 2D Zelda games to thrive alongside their bigger 3D cousins.” Read the full review through here.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is available on Nintendo Switch.
