The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Preorders Include an Acrylic Diorama at Best Buy

Preorders for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom are now live, and there's an enticing preorder bonus available through Best Buy. When you preorder the game, you'll receive a limited-edition Echoes of Wisdom acrylic diorama, valued at $9.99 according to Best Buy. While it might not be the most extravagant preorder bonus ever offered for a Nintendo game, it's still a nice addition and could become a sought-after collector's item in the future.

Given that all major retailers are offering Echoes of Wisdom at the same price ($59.99), you’re not missing out on anything by choosing Best Buy, especially with the bonus on the table. If you're planning to preorder, it makes sense to go with the retailer that offers a little something extra.

Echoes of Wisdom marks a significant milestone as the first mainline Zelda game to feature Princess Zelda as the protagonist, a long-awaited development that fans have been eager to see for decades. Nintendo has finally answered this call, and the result is nothing short of thrilling. The game adopts a visually striking art style reminiscent of the almost claymation-like aesthetic seen in the Link's Awakening remake, which suits the world of Hyrule beautifully.

The story begins with mysterious purple rifts tearing open across Hyrule, pulling people into the unknown. While Link is among those trapped, Zelda manages to escape, leaving her to shoulder the burden of saving the kingdom herself. Though the exact reasoning behind the kingdom’s military being unable to assist her is a bit unclear, the premise sets the stage for an exciting adventure led by Zelda.

A key gameplay mechanic is the innovative use of "echoes." Armed with the Tri Wand, Zelda can summon echoes—items and enemies she has previously encountered. These echoes play a crucial role in combat, puzzle-solving, and reaching new areas. This mechanic promises to challenge players' creativity, much like the inventive gameplay seen in Tears of the Kingdom. It's exciting to see such engaging and inventive puzzle-solving brought into a 2D-style Zelda game.

In other Zelda news. Missing any amiibo from your collection? These Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Link’s Awakening amiibo reprints are now up for preorder at Best Buy. Each costs $15.99 and will ship by September 26, 2024, so there's not too much of a wait before they arrive. As with many amiibo, the new stock is likely to sell out quickly. If you’re eager to add these models to your collection, now is the perfect time to place an order.
