Are you ready to dive into The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom? Well, grab your trusty sword, don your iconic tunic, and – wait a moment, that’s not quite right this time!
In a twist that fans have been eagerly anticipating, players won’t be stepping into Link’s boots. Nope, this journey is all about Princess Zelda.
And as the title suggests, you’ll be guiding the legendary Princess on her very own epic adventure. So, without further ado, here are our top tips and tricks to help you conquer The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom as the one and only Princess Zelda – for the very first time.
From collecting Echoes to solving intricate puzzles, these essential pointers will keep you on track. So, grab your sword (and maybe a comfy chair), and let’s jump into the world of Hyrule!
Activate Waypoints
Waypoints are your best friends in Echoes of Wisdom, serving as the fast travel system for both the overworld and dungeons.
Be sure to activate every Waypoint you stumble across, as they’ll make it much easier to revisit locations throughout Hyrule, especially when you’re hunting down those elusive Heart Pieces.
It’s like installing a GPS, but for saving the world instead of just avoiding traffic!
Bed Echoes Heal Hearts
One of the first Echoes you’ll collect is a Bed Echo. Not only does it help bridge gaps (who knew beds could double as furniture and architecture?), but sleeping on it will heal Zelda’s health.
As you journey through Hyrule, you might even stumble upon fancier beds. Why sleep on a basic bed when you could have a royal sleep experience?
Just remember, waking up without hearts is the only thing worse than a rough night’s sleep!
Collect Every Echo You See
In Eachos of Wisdom, you’ll want to channel your inner completionist and collect every Echo you come across.
Nearly every enemy and many items can be recorded as Echoes for Zelda to use later, and you never know when a certain Echo might come in handy, so take the chance to gather them all.
Think of it as Pokémon’s “Gotta catch ’em all,” but with less Pikachu and more royal flair!
Our favourite Echos for most situations are: The Old Bed, The Trampoline and The Peahat.
Don’t Forget to Get a Horse!
Waypoints are great for speedy travel, but nothing beats galloping across Hyrule on horseback.
You may initially need to rent a horse, but soon, you’ll be able to call your own using the Carrot Echo.
Plus, travelling in style means you might uncover something important, like a Heart Piece or the next great adventure.
Look Out for Echo Variants with Higher Levels
Once you defeat an enemy for the first time, you’ll start collecting its Echo. Since Zelda has no combat prowess, these Echoes will fight for her!
But wait – there’s more! Each enemy often has multiple versions; tougher ones can be collected as Level 2 Echoes. While they might cost a bit more, these upgraded allies will pack a punch in battle.
Some Echoes Can Be Made Underwater
When you find yourself swimming in Hyrule’s watery depths, don’t panic! Zelda can still create Echoes underwater, which can even help solve puzzles.
Remember to focus on aquatic enemies; some Echoes, especially monster ones, can drown faster than you can say, “I should have brought a life vest!”
Your Echoes Cost Upgrades
As you progress, don’t just close the main story rifts; tackle those small ones, too. Each rift you close will increase Tri’s abilities and your Echo cost limit.
Just remember that some Echoes might see their costs increase with upgrades, so be prepared for some budget adjustments in your royal treasury.
You Can’t Make Echoes While in Swordfighter Form
When you switch to Swordfighter Form, you’ll be too busy making your best Link impression to create new Echoes.
Any Echoes you’ve previously created will still be active, but if you want more, you must take a break from the swordplay.
So, think carefully about which Echoes you’ll need before donning that iconic green tunic!
With these essential tips and tricks in hand, you’ll be well-equipped to navigate the enchanting world of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
Now go forth, Princess Zelda – Hyrule awaits your heroic touch!
