The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is available for $50 at Woot until Thursday, October 31–unless it sells out before then, which is quite possible considering it already sold out at a $52 deal price earlier this month. So if you missed out on that deal and want to save $10 on the newest Zelda game, you don’t want to wait too long to place your order. Woot also has The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom for $45, which is a substantial price cut from its $70 list price. You can use your Amazon account to shop deals on Woot, and Prime members get free shipping on all orders.
Nintendo Switch Game Deals at Woot
The pair of Zelda games are just two of many notable gaming deals at Woot right now. As you’ll see below, many of the best Woot video game deals are first-party Nintendo Switch games such as Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Luigi’s Mansion 3–perfect Switch games to play around Halloween. But you can also snag notable third-party games such as the Nintendo Switch version of Sonic X Shadow Generations for only $40 (was $50). The Sonic deal is pretty exciting since the game just launched October 25. Sonic fans should also check out Target’s deal on the brand-new Lego Shadow the Hedgehog display model. Woot also has Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance’s Steelbook Edition for only $32.
Woot deals often sell out fast due to limited stock and discounts that aren’t offered at major retailers, so you’ll want to be quick if you’re interested in any of the Switch games listed above. As of October 28, Woot’s site lists the end date for these days as three days from now, so they will likely disappear on Halloween.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom pays homage to the franchise’s classic formula while also embracing the modern era ushered in by Breath of the Wild and expanded upon in 2023’s Tears of the Kingdom. It’s the first mainline entry in the series with Princess Zelda in the leading role, and it plays a lot differently than previous top-down iterations starring Link. Zelda’s ability to create echoes (copies) of objects and monsters to solve puzzles, cross gaps, and fight offers a fun new spin on the classic formula. Just like Tears of the Kingdom, there are many ways to solve puzzles. Echoes of Wisdom also has key components of the classics, including traditional dungeons and Heart Pieces.
All long-time fans should play Echoes of Wisdom, but it would also make for a great first Zelda game for newcomers. It earned a 9/10 in our The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom review.
PSA: Woot’s new approach to selling Nintendo Switch games
Note: Woot recently reconfigured most Nintendo Switch listings to note that physical games ordered from the retailer are region-free editions. This means that you aren’t guaranteed to get a North American edition of the Switch games you order from Woot. All Nintendo Switch consoles are region-free, and Nintendo includes multiple language options in most games, including English in all of the Switch games listed in this article. If you get an international import, the only visible difference is the ratings board logo on the box, which is always ESRB for North American releases.
When it comes to actually playing the game, you won’t notice any differences between the North American, UK, Japanese versions, etc. The one potential snag is with DLC. For example, if you buy the UK edition of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, any DLC you purchase in the future must be from the UK eShop. North American Switch owners can easily create UK and Japanese eShop user accounts on Switch, so this is more of a potential annoyance than anything else, but it’s worth keeping in mind. That said, most of the Nintendo-published games above–and first-party Switch games in general–are fully self-contained and don’t have DLC.
