Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is Nintendo's Darkest, Funniest Game

Ellen had some hands-on time with the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and wants to tell Mike (and you!) all about it.

For anyone wanting to throw lots of rocks at things, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will be released on the Nintendo Switch on 26th September 2024

From the people who brought you “Grown Woman Cries at Cat” comes “Grown Woman Giggles at Rock Murders”!

Ellen called it the funniest Zelda game and immediately the footage corroborated this when Zelda responds "Who's Link?" to an NPC asking about him, which made me burst out laughing lmao 😂

Zelda: "Link? Never heard of her"

[melvinkachere]

I'm genuinely astonished at how psychotic Ellen has managed to make herself sound in a "cute" Zelda game

[Galvamel]

This is what happens when Ellen doesn't have the stabilizing influence of a Co-Host, she starts giving in to her darkest impulses.

Tall Ellen must be fuming he wasn't invited to preview this one.

“Have they gone completely bonkers?”

“No, it’s brilliant!”

I will never not be confused at Mike calling a trampoline "nature's helicopter" 😅

I immediately noticed at the Nintendo Direct when Echoes of Wisdom was revealed that Zelda is basically a Nercomancer when she kills, and then summons said deceased creatures to fight on her behalf. It makes sense. There's a lot of dark undertones... Like the Blood Moon... People just overlook because "It's a Legend of Zelda game", but if you look at the recent backstory, it's pretty dark: Ganon invades Hyrule, many heroes band together to stop him, but he ultimately defeats everybody and turns Hyrule into a literal Hellscape of monsters.

I like how they've decided to have little old Impa be badass Impa as well. (And I love the vaguely Link to the Past vibe of the artstyle here, I'd love a remake of that game)

"My many crimes" is absolutely a title for a future video 😂

[ChristyOFaghan]

funnily enough, explaining the game to Mike felt like the most comprehensive review i need for the new Zelda

[BatteryBee]

Zelda conjuring a bed in the middle of the fight is so real 😴

[yaminagai]

it's nice to know Mike will throw an explosive rubber duck in a small room, but will draw the line at throwing boulders

[GhengisJohn]

After all this buildup, Zelda's legend can finally begin.

I just finished my THIRD watch through of Jon’s play through of Link’s Awakening and I would love love LOVE to see Jon and Ellen let’s play this! 🙏

[draygoon]

Ellen is so cute and dark. I love it. I think we all learned to keep her away from rocks for everyone's safety.

[bensheekey]

I love Ellen's sadistic sense of humour. Amused by moblin abuse

[eren]

The fanart of Zelda committing War Crimes is fantastic!

[maxvelcity]

We have to have Ellen and another member or Oxbox play this with Jon.
Like they did with Ellen, Luke and Jon in links awakening.🤞

Loving these videos, it's like a mini SOTWE.👍💜

Having the couch visible is far better than the tight shoulders and face shot with no chair. More of this. Lighting is MUCH better too 👌🏻 new studio looking great!
