Although many might argue that Tears of the Kingdom is more groundbreaking, particularly with its Ultrahand and Fuse abilities, it’s not uncommon to view Echoes of Wisdom as a companion piece to the larger-scale, flagship journey. It presents a more charming take on many of its fundamental concepts.
