If you played Link's Awakening on Switch, it's similar. 

There's clearly been some work done on the engine since that game, as the levels have more going on at once, but it does dip now and then when streaming in new data during overworld traversal.

It can be a bit of an annoyance at times, but due to the more methodical pace it doesn't harm gameplay the way that it would in a game that demands precision.

I love LA.  The drops are annoying but such is life. 

They should have called it The Legend of Link: Wand of Gamelon 2

Yeah if you were able to enjoy Link's Awakening in spite of its drops, you should be fine with this.

A locked 60fps would have been nice of course, (and indeed that is pretty much what you get during dungeons and other indoor areas, it's just the overworld that lags) but it's not a dealbreaker.

Got my copy today, will easy put in a number of hours this weekend.  

Finally nice to play a somewhat traditional original Zelda experience. Don’t get me wrong, I love Botw, and Totk, but it’s been 5 years since a traditional Zelda, and 11 years since an original traditional Zelda. Like others have said it’s a nice combo of old and new!

Fully agree with this. I think most actions in games should come with some kind of cost. BotW instead used items that breaks after a few usages. Granted magic is used for a lot of task with no cost at all. 

Yeah I feel the same way; as much as I had a blast with BOTW and TOTK, I didn't realize how much I'd missed classic Zelda until I played this. The familiar motifs of old but filtered through a fresh modern lens is such a joy.

I really like how gaining new echoes provides a constant stream of cool new toys to play around with, giving that same dopamine hit as unlocking a new item in the old games but in small controlled bursts every 5-10 minutes.

On the whole, it's a terrific experience so far; it's definitely unconventional, and for that reason it won't please everyone, but I'm having a ton of fun with it.

Need to play more but not loving it. Seems tedious having to go through two dozens echoes constantly. And battles are slow given my echoes companions are dumb as heck.

I'd recommend using the green snakes, they are fast-hitting and aggressive, and spawning several of them makes short work of many foes.

Another trick is you can effectively emulate a melee attack by spawning an urchin or one of the fire guys right on top of an enemy and hit them instantly.
