Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom: How Long Does It Take To Beat?

Echoes of Wisdom marks a return to the traditional top-down Zelda formula. And with many new fans getting into the series thanks to Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, this will be a lot of people's first exposure to traditional Zelda

In this guide, we've detailed Echoes of Wisdom's playtime, both for completing the story and for how long it will take to 100% the game.

How long is Echoes of Wisdom's main story?

By the time we hit the credits of Echoes of Wisdom, our playtime was just above 20 hours. This does include collecting most of the game's Heart Pieces, and Accessories, and completing a large number of Side Quests, as well as taking multiple screenshots.

If you just focus on the Main Quest, we estimate Echoes of Wisdom's length is around 15-17 hours. You can probably sneak in a few Heart Pieces too in that time.

How long does it take to 100%?

Unlike most recent Zelda games, Echoes of Wisdom is a relatively easy, breezy 100% completion.

You can expect to get every single Echo, Heart Piece, Stamp, Might Crystal, make every Smoothie, complete every Side Quest in around 30 hours.

In terms of length, Echoes of Wisdom is much, much more manageable that Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom, we think.

Do you unlock anything after completion?

You do, but only for that specific playthrough.

You will be able to speak to a prominent NPC at the end of the game to find out how many Echoes you are missing, and where to find those Echoes. If you want to know where he is, then (with caution) click on our guide which covers the final area in Echoes of Wisdom. Very helpful if you still need to find some to 100% the game.

Otherwise, that's it. You can replay the game in Hero Mode if you want, but there's no New Game Plus or secret bosses to find. And you don't unlock playable Link, either.
