Echoes of Wisdom ~ Codename & Developer

Well, Echoes of Wisdom is already out in the wild, so you have to be careful about spoilers. OatmealDome, who is known for giving technical insights to the Switch and Nintendo's games, has shared some interesting specifics, however.

First of all, we got the confirmation that this game was co-developed by GREZZO, which shouldn't be a surprise, since the main Zelda team was busy with Tears of the Kingdom. This is the second time that they have worked on a new Zelda title, the first being Tri Force Heroes. But this is certainly an upgrade. It's using the same engine as the Link's Awakening remake, of course, but that's not actually the Unreal Engine, but something developed by GREZZO in-house.

Also, the internal codename is "Edward", following "Richard", which was the code of the Link's Awakening remake. This is very interesting, because it was part of a code name leak from earlier this year... And that leak also talked about "U-King-O", a remaster of Breath of the Wild for the next system. So, that's all but confirmed at this point.

Anyway, it's less than a week and I'm excited! I will do my usual "play & blog" thingy, so stay tuned for Thursday.
