Nintendo has shared an adorable piece of artwork for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom as it looks ahead to 2025 and "all the wisdom it brings".
The artwork itself is a pastel-based image of our heroine chilling out atop a small hill with her companion Tri in tow along with a couple of Zols (which, presumably, are friendly echoes of the gelatinous green blobs).
2025 will no doubt be a pretty significant year for Nintendo, with the firm looking to make a new announcement on the Switch successor at some point before the end of March. Some folks online are speculating that said announcement could arrive as soon as next week, but we'll believe it when we see it.
As for Echoes of Wisdom, fans can rest assured that it, along with your entire Switch library, will be playable on the new 'Switch 2' via backward compatibility. The game launched on 26th September 2024 to strong critical reception, with our own 9/10 review stating that it "should be the new standard for top-down Zelda going forward".
What are your thoughts on this new Echoes of Wisdom artwork? Do you think 2025 will be a big year for Nintendo? Let us know with a comment.

First game on Switch 2 will be Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Ultra.
Let’s hope for a good year! But an amazing year would be MH Wilds on the switch 2 too.
I just finished Echoes of Wisdom and it squeaked in as my GOTY. It's great to see this piece of art after beating it yesterday. I love the chill vibes it brings.
I love this game, I wish they made more of this type of artwork
Next console name will be Wisdom, confirmed!
Short name NW instead of NX or NS, Nintendo Online Wisdom (NOW) as its online service, a small e in the name to call it NeW, and with Wario Kart as thé launch title where you can tweak the cart to your liking, especially the exhaust pipe.
I’m all for it!
Echoes of Wisdom is my GOTY. The crux of Zelda has always been exploration and Echoes maximizes that feeling of exploration more than any other 2D Zelda. It did an excellent job differentiating itself from other masterpieces while keeping its core in-tact.
Great artwork, can't wait to see what Nintendo has in store for us in 2025 and while I haven't finished it yet so far I'm enjoying Echoes of Wisdom a lot like others here!

Nice artwork. I am just glad to live another year and to be able to enjoy simple stuff like games.
Lovely art for a lovely game. I hope they make more games like it
@DripDropCop146 Naaaah the cool thing is, they'll have worked on an all-new Mario Kart for so long now. Imagine the luxury of having 10 years between entries. You get a leap in technology, a hungry audience, and all the time to create and polish something big and new.
Looks like things are looking up in Hyrule.
I hope things get better in our world too

I guess the art style used here matches the level of challenge the dungeons in the game posed i.e. child’s play 😉

ANIMAL CROSSING: TAX EVASION… my mind broke.
@DripDropCop146
Nah - Since we didn't get it in the last Mario collection, I'm calling Super Mario Galaxy 2 + Bowser's Fury 2.
aw the artwork is so cuteeeee

That begs the question though, the switch was a Zelda console launch but the switch 2 will be Mario and Metroid. Will the next Mario game be modeled after Odyssey or after Bowser's Fury? Is BF really going to be the shape of Mario games to come?
I think Wisdom is a truly incredible game. It was so much fun!
@mlt I hope not. I couldn’t play BF for long without getting bored.
That said, I preferred it to Wonder. I hated Wonder irrationally. It’s so irational, I can’t even say why I hate it so much!
@Clammy
That's funny. Is it the flowers? Or maybe too easy, I loved it but even I thought it was waaaaay too easy. Or is it the new visual style? Maybe you're a New series lover? I wouldn't mind I also really like the New series.
