Are you excited about Echoes of Wisdom and can’t wait to play it? Thankfully, there’s a wealth of excellent Zelda-style games with female and nonbinary protagonists made by small studios that you can jump into right now on Nintendo Switch. These are eight of my favorites…

Do you want your female character to wield both a sword and magic, and will you be satisfied with nothing less than complex and multilayered combat in an exploration-rich dark fantasy world that hides a tragic story about the suffering implicit in the rise and fall of empires?
Check out, unironically: Dark Souls
