The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom takes around 12-16 hours to complete all the main quests and finish the main storyline of the game.
Echoes of Wisdom heavily relies on the players' acuity to solve puzzles when progressing dungeons or beating enemies, with dungeons estimated to take 1-2 hours to complete. The length of the game will ultimately depend on how fast a player can deduce or solve puzzles.
All Dungeon Locations and Walkthroughs
For those wishing to complete every side quest and participate in every side activity in the game, Echoes of Wisdom will require an additional 6-8 hours, or a total of 18-24 hours of playtime to experience everything the game has to offer.
If you want to achieve perfect completion in Echoes of Wisdom, it will take you another 2-4 hours, or a total of 20-28 hours. This will require you to clear the entire map, upgrade all of Zelda's equipment, beat all minigames at the hardest difficulty, and collect all items scattered around Hyrule.
| Challenges & Collectibles | Total |
|---|---|
| Heart Pieces | 40 |
| Might Crystals | 150 |
| Stamps | 25 |
| Smoothies | 69 |
| Echoes | 127 |
| Side Quests | 50 |
| Accessories | 28 |
| Outfits | 8 |
| Slumber Dojo | 15 |
Similar to most Zelda games in the franchise, Echoes of Wisdom does not have unlockable or rewards for players after finishing the game and its main storyline.
Even the Slumber Dojo that acts as the game's Post-Game content can be challenged even before finishing the main story.
As mentioned, your time with the game will completely depend on how you play it, as well as your puzzle-solving skills. If you only want to complete the main story, 12-16 hours may be considered short for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (EoW).
But doing side activities and searching for collectibles should make your stay at Hyrule much longer.
