    assorted nitpick/observation: yes your shader for the sunlight reflecting off the surface of the water is very nice, but unfortunately this is a rare case of graphics getting in the way of gameplay in this game. tilting the camera into top‐down view to get a better view of some parts of the riverbed makes it suddenly much more difficult to see, because the angle change makes the glare apply very strongly to all the water around Zelda.

    also interesting how it forcibly erases any echoes that are just close enough to where you got stuck. you don’t even have to be touching them, or have touched them at all since you last left the ground! i guess there were just too many ways that people could get themselves stuck in playtesting. in practice there’s not much harm done since echos don’t “cost” anything to make anyways.

    this game has some fairly aggressive failsafes. i’m actually not stuck here and can escape just by holding away from the corner, but it nopes me out after just 1 second. i’m curious to see speedrun tricks that abuse this after beating this game myself. i assume they’re going to exist if they don’t already; there are several cases of “teleport to last known solid ground” routines being abused to break stuff in other games.

  35. in moving some data around on my Switch, i’ve discovered that Echoes of Wisdom manages to be *smaller* than Link’s Awakening (2019) in filesize (5.4 GB vs. 5.8 GB). not bad! (i’m assuming rn that EoW is the bigger game, anyway, given that it’s not based on a Game Boy game…) idk if anything can impress me as much as TotK fitting into 15.9 GB, but the point is i find it refreshing how much Nintendo cares about reducing filesize bloat.

    there are definitely some design choices which seemed unusual for a Zelda game at first, but quickly made much more sense as i kept playing. one of those is camera panning with the right stick. it’s not unheard of — ALBW lets you do this with the D‐pad — but i questioned its necessity until i was sending minions rolling past the camera boundaries.

    the implementation is… lacking, though. the camera keeps doing a lot of jarring snaps. surely this was solveable?

    when you saw an axe in a tree stump at the start of BotW, it was a weapon for you to take, but here it’s just set dressing… i doubt it was on purpose, but it stuck out to me. as the axe does from the stump.
