Alright, so get this—Nintendo just did this thing with Zelda. I mean, it’s totally random but kind of cool, too. They dropped a software update for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Now it’s up to version 1.1.0. I guess this means something.
And hey, here’s the kicker. You can now play it on the Nintendo Switch 2 with these fancy new graphics and something they call High Dynamic Range—or HDR if you’re in the know. It’s like seeing the game through rose-tinted glasses, only without the roses. But here’s what really threw me: they added this option to only show echoes you’ve marked as favorites. Like, seriously? People were losing sleep over this, apparently. Who knew?
So here’s what’s up with the patch notes, if you can decipher this stuff:
On the Nintendo Switch 2—voila, a magical list of updates:
– You can filter echoes. But only if you’ve learned 30 or more of them. Kind of a weird limit, huh?
– The visuals, oh boy, they’re primed for those snazzy high-res TVs. Basically, your eyes won’t know what hit ‘em.
– HDR support sneaks in there as well. This is where everything looks brighter and darker. Makes no sense, but just go with it. Note: Don’t try this without an HDR-compatible TV unless you enjoy pixelated chaos.
– Bunch of bugs got squashed. You won’t notice, but trust me, they’re smoother now. Or they say they are.
And if you’re still rocking the original Switch, you’re in luck too, because:
– The favorite echoes feature is for you as well. Same 30 echoes learning barrier. Not that anyone’s counting.
– Bugs? Poof, gone. Well, some. Enough to make you feel like something’s better, maybe.
Did anyone ask for this? Maybe, maybe not. Anyway, back to whatever I was doing before this update happened. Crazy, right?
