The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Version 1.0.2 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

I hope the subheading is an Avatar reference.

"It's a long, long way to Ba Sing Se, but the girls in the citayyy, they look so PRETTAYYY!"

I love it when they patch games after I've just completed them.

They did not add a PRO HUD mode fail
Echoes of Wisdom is a weaker Zelda game. An ever present minimap, quest updates, quest notifications, quest markers.. The hell? This was supposed to be a Zelda game, not an Ubisoft Zelda fake game...

@Not_Soos it's Matt Berry

Finished the game yesterday. Enjoyed it.

@Uncle_Franklin Then you clearly didn't have t he issues mentioned in the changelog. So no issues there. (I've also completed the game)

@sanderev

Started a new save file.

In any case, the patches also allow for a "smoother experience".

@1UP_MARIO Likewise, I just finished the game yesterday after 30 hours. I am going back to clear up spaces on the map that I did not explore, but I am pretty much finished.

Echoes is a beautiful game with a good story and good dungeons and it just puts a smile on your face. It is a great and necessary addition to the Zelda universe.

@BlackenedHalo mini maps have always been available in Zelda games as far back as OOT.

And a side quest tracker is a vital requirement so you don’t forget since these can crop up at any time (especially as side quests in any game these days are not limited to forced scenarios). Can’t be going back to the dark ages now.

I appreciate your stance tho - removing most of the hud elements at least should be an accessibility option available to the player 🙂

Wow this game is looking really spooky! Can't wait to give it a try

So does “smoother gaming experience” = better frame rate?

At the final area now and have had a fun time!

After completing my second dungeon in the Gerudo Desert, I just started exploring and stumbled across a Lynel in a wooded area. Now I have a Lynel echo that I can't even summon because it requires 6 triangles, and I only have 4.

@KorGonia the introduction is quite easy. But maybe you should try something different from what you are currently doing. Usually there is an easier way to do things. But I don't know exactly where you are in the game.

Somehow every Nintendo game in recent memory that's supposedly needed a patch because of a progress impending glitch has slipped right over my head. Had no problem finishing Metroid other M and Skyward sword too and both at launch had this issue that got later patched.

@Sonicka

• OoT: minimap - press L to turn it off; no quest markers
• MM: minimap - press L to turn it off, no quest markers
• WW: minimap - press the left arrow to turn it off, no quest markers
  TTP: minimap - press 2 to turn it off, no quest markers
• SW: no minimap, no quest markers
• LBW: no minimap, no quest markers
• BOTW: PRO HUD (minimap, etc off), quest markers (only when you activate quests, quest updates )
• TOTK: PRO HUD (minimap, etc off), quest markers (you can untrack quest but the map still show you the quest markers - FAIL, quest updates)
• EoW: permanent minimap, quest markers (you can untrack quests which turns off the markers), quest updates)

..So please, do not tell me it was the same thing back in the day when OoT was released

@BlackenedHalo yes, but my point was that mini-maps were available in the older titles. I actually did agree with you that they should have added accessibility options to turn it off as per the prior titles. We’re probably talking over each other on this subject.

With regards to quest markers, as I said - I think they are necessary in these newer titles. It’s a debatable topic, but not limited to being a Ubisoftism. There was no need for them back in the older games because they were few and far between and were either missable, or built into the main scenario. Quest markers or list reminders are a nice necessity IMO. But again, an option to remove the markers themselves is a valid point.

@Sonicka I really dont mind minimpas or quest markers as long as I can turn them off and play the way I want ...If players and devs want it in their games, be my quest, just please remember immesion-looking players like me who like getting lost and trying to solve problems without hints

@AnonyQ it’s interesting where people pull reference from. As @Not_Soos said this is Matt Berry’s character from “What We Do In The Shadows”.

He says “You really are the most devious b****** in New York Cit-ay”.

@BlackenedHalo I’m so impressed by the pun that I’m won over 🤣👏

I do seek the immersion side as well (BOTW / TOTK especially rings true for me on that) but I do love a little guide when I’ve forgotten what I’m doing after a long break is all I’m saying.

But yeah, options, that’s all it needs. You are right that EoW is devoid of that.

Then you have Horizon II, which is probably the antithesis of everything I love about trying to explore an open world, because even when you can turn most of it off… it’s still there to guide you out of the immersion.

@BlackenedHalo Calm down, it's a fine game.

@1UP_MARIO

I'm almost through with the game. It has been a fun ride. I'm kinda craving Minish Cap, A Link Between Worlds, or maybe even another romp through Link's Awakening. I am curious to see how it stacks up for me personally.

The only bug I encountered on my complete playthrough on 1.0.1 was when beating the underwater boss, my rumble on my joy-cons got stuck on. I saved, quit to menu, reloaded game, and it came back on non-stop rumbling again, so I rebooted and it was gone thankfully.

Smoother?
Did they actually push a patch that improves the framerate?
