The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and its sequel, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, undoubtedly changed The Legend of Zelda forever by taking the series in a brand-new direction that drew from its roots but ultimately blossomed into a completely different animal altogether. Despite both of them being critically acclaimed titles, they haven't been universally received due to their stark contrast to The Legend of Zelda's traditional formula, along with their open worlds simply being too massive to maintain the interest of gamers who prefer a more linear experience. In fact, the open world of Zelda's new era is partially responsible for its biggest shortcoming. Now, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is soon to arrive on the scene, with a shot at atoning for one of the greatest sins of BotW and TotK.
