Save Hyrule~this time with the wisdom of Princess Zelda! The people of Hyrule are being stolen away by strange rifts~with a certain swordsman as well as the King of Hyrule and his advisors among the missing. Left alone, it~s up to Princess Zelda to save her kingdom in a brand-new adventure in The Legend of Zelda series! Team up with the ethereal creature Tri and use the Tri Rod to create ~echoes,~ which are imitations of things you find in the environment~then recreate those echoes whenever you like to solve puzzles and defeat enemies. Use echoes like water blocks to reach new heights, make bridges out of old beds, throw rocks at foes, or find your own combination of echoes to do things your way. You can even make echoes of monsters to fight at your side in combat! Use a variety of abilities to conquer rifts and dungeons across a vast Hyrule. To close the rifts to the Still World and save the people trapped inside, Zelda and Tri must first enter each rift. Once inside, they must use their combined powers to traverse broken terrain and dungeons with challenging bosses. You'll need more than just your echoes to get past all the obstacles in your way. Use Bind to make objects follow Zelda~s movements, or Reverse Bond to follow an object~s movements. You can also use a mysterious sword to transform into the powerful swordfighter form for a short time. With these abilities at your disposal, you~ll be fully equipped to tackle each challenge in your own way! Your search for the rifts will span far and wide and bring you into contact with plenty of folks who will make requests of you. Luckily you can use waypoints or a horse to get around! Travel off the beaten path to discover side quests and minigames. As you explore Hyrule, you~ll encounter all kinds of interesting folk~those dealing with problems great and small, and even some that just want to give you a fun challenge! You~ll even meet the engineer Damp~, helping him to create automatons and use them to attack and stun enemies. Equip accessories and visit Smoothie Shops for bonus effects. Try on different outfits and accessories to gain various effects such as increasing appearance of hearts or ability to jump higher. Visit a Smoothie Shop to blend up your ingredients into tasty drinks capable of replenishing your hearts and granting temporary bonuses like resistance to electricity. Scan any The Legend of Zelda themed amiibo figures to get rewards, like smoothie ingredients and certain outfits in alternate colors. amiibo sold separately. Nintendo.

My favorite 2D Zelda ever.

Title says all you need to know. Echoes of Wisdom is my favorite 2D Zelda game. That's high praise with some stellar 2D games out there with the legendary LTTP and 3DS' Link Between Worlds. I dont say that lightly, nor do I think many will share my opinion, but for me this one's my favorite 2D Zelda to play. Essentially, its BOTW as a 2D game. As someone who adored the openness & freedom that BOTW gave the Zelda franchise, seeing this in a 2D game was perfect. Also, its just chalked full of Zelda-isms and easter eggs. I guarantee you there's something from your favorite Zelda game somewhere in this one. I know its a big departure with Zelda and echoes vs. Link and his sword, but its adds a strategic element thats really rewarding when you get creative with the mechanic. I just loved it.

Who doesn't love a steam top-up card? And with all the mtx's and currency trading they're getting harder to find these days in stores. Happy I can always get one at my local BB. Though, it's a real bummer that rewards points can no longer be used to purchase them.

I found the benefits from immediately signing up (like B2G1 on Switch games) easily paid for the cost of the membership - Add in the other benefits as shipping, rewards, exclusive sales, early access to sales/items, its a worthwhile membership.

The Ally is everything I was looking for.
on July 15, 2023

Verified Purchase:Yes
I absolutely love my ally. I've been searching for the past few years for a handheld that could check ALL the boxes for me. Steam deck was great, but I didn't like linux and performance is just okay and the screen was pretty meh. Logitech's GCloud was nice but the emulation performance was mid. The razer edge was just a repackaged phone. The Ally is the best of each of them. Stellar performance from a handheld that can play a ton of games at 60fps (and higher) and even those that run at 40-50fps punch up due to the ally's VRR and 120hz refresh rate. Speaking of VRR and the ally's beautiful 120hz screen, streaming things like game pass and GeForce Now has also never been better than with this handheld. Emulation on the ally is a breeze, esp with something like emudeck that makes it super easy for anyone to put 100s of their favorite retro games on the device.
Its not all rainbows, the updating process is tedious when setting up the device the first time. There are lots of people reporting SD card failures after extended use, myself included, I've also lost an SD card to the ally already. I just put in an SSD and quit using the SD card altogether. The swap is super easy, 6 screws, unplug & replug. Problem solved.

The HP X2 Chromebook is good. If you're looking for a chromebook experience in the shape of a surface, you've found it. Processor's a little slow, if you're doing a lot of things you'll see it slow down/stutter at times. But the screen is vibrant, keyboard is better than most tablet keyboards that merge/hide a lot of buttons. Speakers are not very good, esp for the retail price on this (def wait on a sale).

A power struggle begins in a civilization dependent on an ancient technology, the blastia, and the Empire that controls it. The fates of two friends traveling separate paths intertwine in an epic adventure that threatens the existence of all. Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Tales of Vesperia is one of the most beloved entries in the "Tales of" series and returns with beautifully remastered full HD graphics, never before seen characters, expanded story, and much more!

Not as good as Symphonia but very enjoyable. Too many cut scenes and bit too easy ( I only died once during whole 50+ hours gameplay). Still highly recommend
