Original Switch owners aren’t being forgotten with the new Switch 2 update for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. While the free patch offers more on Nintendo’s new system–like visual enhancements–the action-adventure game will allow players to select favorited echoes after collecting more than 30 of them on either console.
Nintendo detailed the version 1.1.0 update, which went live yesterday, June 3. Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom received “a feature to display only favorited echoes in the list of echoes after 30 or more echoes have been learned” on Switch or Switch 2. This streamlines the process for Zelda picking an item or enemy to use in the game. A common complaint before was people having to sift through a ton of echoes to find their preferred options.
It was previously known Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom was getting a free Switch 2 update. The game will see optimized visuals and HDR support, with the former hopefully addressing frame-rate issues that were highlighted in GameSpot’s Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom review. A similar problem has seemingly been addressed with Pokemon Scarlet/Violet’s free Switch 2 update.
There will also be paid Switch 2 Edition enhancements for games, such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Civilization VII. The price point can fluctuate on these and are game-specific. For instance, the Breath of the Wild update costs $10, while Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s update costs $20.
Switch 2 launches tomorrow, June 5. GameSpot has Switch 2 restock info in case you were unable to get a preorder for the hybrid system.
