The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom |$59.99$49.99 at WootSave $10 -The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom first dropped to $51.99 shortly after release and hovered around the $53 - $58 price range just before Black Friday. The latest game in the series finally dipped below the $50 mark once the big sales event began with a whole $10 off its 59.99 MSRP but returned to full price after. Now, Echoes of Wisdom has returned to its $49.99 Black Friday price tag in what appears to be a Christmas miracle - so I recommend picking this up for the Zelda fan in your life while you still can.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I’ve been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I’m still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
