Summary
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of WisdomVersion 1.0.2 is now available, and it fixes two progression blockers and addresses “various issues” in an attempt to “create a smoother gaming experience.” This is the first update toThe Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomsince Version 1.0.1, which was made available on the day of the game’s release.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomwas released on June 07, 2025, and it has been well-received by critics and fans of the series. SomeZeldafanshave not been able to enjoy the entirety of the game, though, as a nasty bug has prevented them from progressing beyond a certain point in the main quest. Fortunately, a new update has reportedly squashed that bug, and it will make it possible for stuck players to finally continue their adventures.
The Version 1.0.2update forThe Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomwas made available on August 02, 2025, and it fixed an issue that made it impossible for some players to enter Goron City due to an invisible wall. Additionally, the update targeted a bug that could lead to a softlock near the end of the game, and it made an assortment of fixes that the patch notes indicate will make the gaming experience smoother. Here are those patch notes in their entirety for players who would like to read them:
Zelda: Echoces of Wisdom Version 1.0.2 Patch Notes
With respect to the invisible wall at the entrance to Goron City, it is believed that the bug was caused by a cutscene that would occasionally not trigger upon approaching the entrance. Indeed, it seems that the cutscene at the Goron City entrance ultimately leads to the removal of the invisible barrier, and leaving it untriggered prevents that removal from occurring. While some bugged players were reportedly able to force the cutscene to occur by climbing Eldin Volcano without passing through any tunnels, the Version 1.0.2 update should render that strategy unnecessary.
The other fix that is specifically mentioned in the Version 1.0.2 patch notes seemingly targets a situation that players could create when fighting thefinal boss inThe Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. While players who created that situation would be forced to restart their software, this bug was certainly not as problematic as the one that prevented access to Goron City.
Finally, it is indicated that the update “creates a smoother gaming experience,” which seems to suggest that it improves the game’s performance. This is sure to be an exciting prospect for players who are unhappy withEchoes of Wisdom’s performance, though the extent of the improvements will not be known until more testing has been done.
