The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Brings Adventure and Puzzles Without Compromising Storage

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom File Size Details

Deleting games and shifting around your Nintendo Switch storage is never fun, but The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom file size won't make it anymore painful. The latest entry into the Zelda franchise arrives September 26, 2024, and if you've been wondering whether this cutesy RPG will consume your micro-SD card, you don't need to worry. The official Nintendo Switch eShop now confirms that The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom will only take up 5.4 GB of space on your handheld.

Compared to Other Zelda Titles

Given that Echoes of Wisdom is a far smaller experience compared to the best Switch RPGs like Tears of the Kingdom, we anticipated that it'd clock between the 5 GB to 7 GB mark. It is possible this could be reduced with further patches, but as it stands, we're happy with it landing just under the 6 GB mark. Comparatively, Tears of the Kingdom consumed a hefty 18.2 GB. With its sprawling map and expansive improvements upon Breath of the Wild, Switch users had to put aside a considerable amount of space to enjoy one of the best open-world games.

Playing as Princess Zelda

Instead of stepping into the shoes of Link, this time around you'll be roaming around as Princess Zelda herself, as she gets her time to shine as an awesome heroine. The game was shown off in June's Nintendo Direct showcase, so if you missed it, be sure to check out our roundup. There isn't long until The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom release date lands either, and if you don't want to wait, you can see how the game is stacking up through our hands-on preview.
