The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Developer Apparently Confirmed

Details provided by Nintendo appear to have confirmed who the developer of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is.

Once again, Nintendo has been very secretive about the identity of the development team for its latest game, although it shouldn't be too surprising to find out who the studio behind it is.

Fans have long expected Echoes of Wisdom, which shares a look and feel with the Nintendo Switch remake of Link's Awakening, to be made by the same studio. And indeed, that certainly looks like the case.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening for Switch is being developed by Grezzo, the Tokyo-based team that has previously collaborated with Nintendo on numerous portable Zelda titles, including Ocarina of Time 3D and Majora's Mask 3D for Nintendo 3DS, as well as the Switch conversion of Luigi's Mansion.

Details seen by users who pre-ordered Echoes of Wisdom show that Nintendo and Grezzo are mentioned in the game's trademarks.

Contacted by Eurogamer, Nintendo declined to comment.

Nintendo is also currently very secretive about the studio behind Mario & Luigi: Brothership. The original studio behind the series, AlphaDream, closed its doors in 2019.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is out next week, and after having had the chance to play it recently, I was deeply impressed. “Finally, this is Zelda’s time to shine,” I wrote in Eurogamer’s preview of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
