Great score, biggest critiques are performance related issues.

Links awakening also had performance issues didnt it? These games do not look super graphically intensive so i wonder why these issues keep happening with this art style/engine

The game is a lot of fun, I'm not surprised. Best Zelda we've gotten in a long time.

It's probably engine optimization issues, if I were to guess. Either that or the post-processing effects used are a little too much for the Switch?

It's the physics system. Graphics themselves are basically never the reason for any lag in any modern context, it's always because they've got a million little computations in the background to make sure that the grass blows in the right direction without clipping (or something similar). While LA/EoW aren't graphically impressive they're both full 3D games that have a bizarre amount of "no corners cut" for all of their various bits and pieces.

Also, the game is on sale at Costco.

Costco always sells games 8-10 bucks cheaper than other retailers. Problem is they don't sell more than 2 at a time.

Flop?

Above all things, never be afraid. The enemy who forces you to retreat is himself afraid of you at that very moment.

There's people who think any score less than 90 is trash, we ignore these special individuals.

2D Zeldas are usually high 80s. Echoes of Wisdom isn't deviant from standard 2D Zelda scores.

I don't see how this refutes anything I've said?

wonder if we will see improved performance on switch 2.

Probably have to rebuy it for $70 on the switch 2 version
