If you haven’t picked up a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, you now have more places to buy it from. The brand-new Switch exclusive wasn’t available to preorder at Walmart or Amazon, but it’s finally available at both retailers. Walmart has Echoes of Wisdom online and in stores. Amazon’s listing(s), meanwhile, are for imported, region-free editions. At the moment, the online retailer doesn’t stock Nintendo’s releases in North America. But Amazon has made the prospect of buying an imported game, in this case from its official UK Global Store, a bit more enticing by offering a 10% discount on Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

Amazon US does not officially have Echoes of Wisdom, but Amazon UK does. Thanks to Amazon’s. UK Global Store, you can purchase the import just like you would any other item. The Switch isn’t a region-locked console, so games from other regions work the same (as long as they support English). The only difference you’ll see is the rating boards logo in the lower left-hand corner on the box.
At the moment, Amazon has two listings, one of which is shipped and sold by Amazon’s UK Global Store. You’ll get free shipping and save some cash in the process, as the UK edition is going for $54.24. You’ll still be backed by Amazon’s return policy, and customer service is provided by Amazon US.
If Amazon sells out of that one, the second listing has Echoes of Wisdom listed for $58.
