Attention fans of The Legend of Zelda saga! The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, available since September 26, 2024 on Nintendo Switch, introduces an all-new gameplay system based on "echoes". These elements, divided into material echoes and monster echoes, enable you to progress by building paths, solving puzzles or confronting enemies, all by memorizing and replicating objects or monsters you come across on your way.
These echoes are essential to your progress in the adventure, enabling you to gain height, solve puzzles or overcome obstacles by duplicating various objects. But which echoes are essential to make your life easier? And above all, where can you find them? Here's our selection of the ten most useful echoes, to be obtained throughout the game for easier progression.
What's it for?: Used to create bridges and advance on various terrains by stacking them. If you lie on them, you can collect hearts.
Where to find it: In the game's starting zones. As echoes cost next to nothing, they are particularly practical, as they can be multiplied.
What does it do? Floats in the air, allowing you to temporarily cross empty spaces.
Where to find it: Mount Hebra.
What's it for? Swimming and reaching inaccessible places.
Where to find it: Jabule waters.
What does it do? Invokes the player's horse, making travel easier.
