Best Echoes in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

If you’re struggling to find your way The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdomyou may need to upgrade your arsenal of ultrasounds. Although you should expand your collection as you progress through the game, you might miss a few Echoes.

We list some of them below best ultrasounds in Echoes of wisdomalong with where to find them.

Best Echoes to get early in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Out of 127 ultrasounds in Echoes of wisdomsome are extremely helpful in the early hours. Prioritize getting the following six as soon as you are able:

  • Trampoline echo
  • Echo of the water block
  • Bombfish Echo
  • Flying Tile Echo
  • Crow Echo
  • Every bed echoes

Make sure you grab these as they will radically improve your ability to climb cliffs, bridge gaps and solve puzzles.

The simple trampoline, which you will receive shortly after starting your adventure in Suthorn Village, will help you reach most of the cliffs just now out of Zelda’s jumping range. Although her jump is upgraded later in the game with the right accessory, this helps overcome some early game bumps almost immediately and should not be counted.

This echo, obtained during the Jabul Waters portion of the game, downplays any vertical obstacle. They stack on top of each other easily – you don’t have to jump and place them, just stand there and keep pressing Y, aiming for the same spot, and they stack nicely. They also only cost one Tri-energy to place, meaning the stronger you become, the bigger the water towers you can build. Yes.

Although there are bombs later in the game, the Bombfish Echo (which you also get in Jabul Waters) will carry you until you get the right bombs. Even when If you get the bombs, the bomb fish is still great because it doesn’t cost Swordfighter energy like your item bombs.

You get this echo in the Gerudo Desert section of the game, and while you can accidentally skip it, you need to have the Flying Tile Echo to make this game significantly easier. The flying tile takes you over large horizontal gaps, so you don’t have to build any more janky bridges.

Crows are everywhere in Hyrule Field and these greedy little birds help grow rupees and are great to use as allies. The first time a crow hits an enemy, the rupees explode from the enemy, netting 5-10 rupees per enemy. They also only cost 1-2 Tri-energy (depending on how far into the game you are), so you can have an army of crows to distract and take down enemies.

Yes, even though you don’t necessarily need the bed to make stairs and bridges anymore, it’s still one of the most useful tools in the game. By sleeping in bed, Zelda can be nursed back to health. The more comfortable the bed, the faster she will regain her health, so make sure you keep your eyes peeled for bed upgrades during your trip.

There’s also something hilarious about taking a nap in the corner during a boss fight to recover some HP.

The best Echoes you can get from mid to late in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

These echoes are usually found in later areas and have a higher energy cost than the echoes we mention above. The Echoes above are already some of the best Echoes you can use to transport yourself around Hyrule, but if you need a little more power for the late game, these are the Echoes you can grab:

  • Boomerang Boarblin Lv. 2 Ultrasound
  • Wizzrobe ultrasounds
  • Freezard Echo
  • Lynel Echo

Below we explain where to find them and our reasoning.

Boomerang Boarblin Lv. 2 Ultrasound

If you get annoyed by enemies that fly or are too far away for your usual echoes to reach, boomerang boars are the way to go. In fact, this one is the stronger version, which you can find in the western Gerudo Desert, so they’ll make quick work of any flying enemies that cause you grief.

The Wizzrobe is available in three flavors, found in different areas: the Ice Wizzrobe in the Hebra Mountains, the Fire Wizzrobe at the Eldin Volcano and the Electric Wizzrobe in the Faron Wetlands. These guys are annoying to beat because they teleport around, so imagine aiming them at your enemies. They hit hard and last a while because they keep moving. These are especially useful against bosses that require you to deal certain elemental damage, such as the Gohma in Faron Temple and the bosses in Lanayru Temple.

While these icy golem heads don’t do much damage, they do freeze enemies very quickly. If you’re swarmed by many enemies at once, this helps ease the situation by putting a number of enemies on hold so you can take them out one by one until they’re all dead. You can find freezards both in the Hebra Mountains and in Lanayru Temple.

Yes of course. It’s a no-brainer that the Lynel Echo is the strongest in the game. It can take a lot of hits and do quite a bit of damage. That said, you’ll have to find the lynel by following the hoof prints in the Eternal Forest and then take it down before you can use this powerful echo, making it a true endgame beast.
