In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Princess Zelda is aided on her quest by the ability to copy and summon various objects and monsters found throughout Hyrule. These copies, known as Echoes, are the primary tools for every part of the adventure, from traversal, to combat, to puzzle-solving. There are over a hundred Echoes to find in Echoes of Wisdom; everything from the humble Zol to the fearsome Darknut is up for grabs! And now that many of us have had a chance to play through some of the latest Zelda title, we want to know what Echoes you’ve been drawn to thus far.
Personally, I’ve been surprised by how much my early adventure relied on the Sea Urchin Echo. Most minor enemies go down in one hit, and most are prone to attack your Echoes head-on, so you can bet that monsters like Ropes and Keese went straight for my Sea Urchins and met a terrible fate. For heftier encounters, I’ve liked to let loose my Sword Moblin Echo, as it packs quite a punch with its weapon and protects itself with its shield.
As for object Echoes that help one get around, most Zelda Dungeon team members agree that the Trampoline and Old Bed Echoes are trusty favorites. The former helps you proceed vertically with ease, and the latter helps you cross large gaps. There’s a reason these two Echoes occupied my “Most Used” menu for so long.
What about you? What Echoes have you been relying on in Echoes of Wisdom so far? Let us know in the comments! Please be mindful of spoilers and use spoiler tags if necessary!
