REVIEW The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom — "a glowing proof of concept for how a modern Zelda could recapture some of what fans like me miss about the series before Breath of the Wild without sacrificing the intoxicating creativity it introduced". Andy Robinson for VGC notes the game has plenty of good ideas, but fails to realise their potential calling it a game that's "stuck in the void between new and old".

Oh, and The New York Times interviewed Miyamoto about the Museum, but you'll need an account to read.

The question no one asks Shigeru Miyamoto — This is a superb half-hour video essay on Miyamoto's design philosopy, and how over the past near four decades the Zelda team have been playing with the concept of building a 'miniature garden' for us to play in. A must watch.
