Nintendo has revealed the file size forTheLegend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomwhich launches on Nintendo Switch on September 26.
Spotted byNintendo Life, the upcoming game,which debuted at the June 18 Nintendo Direct, is set to take up 6GB of your Switch’s storage space. Or an estimated 6,144MB according to itsofficial Nintendo store page.
That’s ever so slightly more than 2019’sThe Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakeningremake, whichEchoes of Wisdomcontinues to use the aesthetic of. The remake clocked in at around 6,035MB, indicating the new game will be similar in size and scope.
Fun fact:The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdomis larger than both combined at 16.7GB, though that’s to be expected given the colossal size of its open world.
Both theNintendo SwitchandNintendo Switch Litehave 32GB of onboard storage, meaning thatThe Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomshould take up roughly a fifth of that available space. If you’re using the original hardware, we’d recommend investing in one of thebest SD cards for Nintendo Switchto give you that extra peace of mind. Meanwhile, theNintendo Switch OLED’s storage is doubled to 64GB; plenty of room for a game as relatively small as this.
However, don’t letEchoes of Wisdom’sfile size fool you; we’re still expecting a decently meaty adventure here, especially with how the Echo system (which allows Zelda to make a clone of objects and enemies for placement in the overworld) factors into overall exploration. It’s looking to be a very different style ofZeldagame and we’re excited to see what it brings to the table this September.
