Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Hits Amazon, Ends 2024 Freeze

Nov 07, 2024 12:09 PM

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom has marked a significant change for Nintendo's relationship with Amazon, as it is now the first first-party Nintendo title of 2024 to be sold directly by the retailer. For much of the year, major Nintendo games were only available through third-party sellers on Amazon, with digital offerings like Nintendo Switch Online memberships and gift cards completely absent. This change comes just in time as the holiday shopping season approaches, raising hopes among fans for better purchasing options for Nintendo titles. Although Echoes of Wisdom is now listed on Amazon, it's important to note that it may not be the cheapest option available, with other retailers like Woot offering it at a discounted price.

Why has Amazon's listing of Nintendo games been limited in 2024?

The limited listing of Nintendo games on Amazon appears to stem from a strained relationship between Amazon and Nintendo, though the exact reasons remain unclear. Many preorders for upcoming titles were unexpectedly canceled, leading to speculation among fans regarding the availability of Nintendo products on the platform.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is the latest installment in the beloved Zelda franchise, known for its rich storytelling and innovative gameplay mechanics. This release follows the series' tradition of immersing players in vast, engaging worlds filled with puzzles and adventure. As gaming enthusiasts anticipate future announcements regarding a new Nintendo Switch console, the reappearance of Echoes of Wisdom on Amazon may signal a larger shift in availability for Nintendo's digital and physical game offerings.
