Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

@Kraven
Definitely one of the most useful echos.

@Eel
When the shark echo is an option, this might be the faster way.

Typically I stay out of these threads after the game releases to avoid spoilers, but I do skim this one since I'm actively playing it lol. I hope the Zelda series never changes in this regard; I love quirky characters like Stamp Guy!

Hey everyone! Been playing echoes of wisdom and i need a tip on redeads they are pretty annoying and I'm not sure what the most useful echoes are to kill them easily. Always hated those things in zelda games. Any advice?

I usually just counter Redeads with my own Redead. They're immune to being frozen and are usually able to outlast an enemy.

crows kill everything; one will die but the other will live to peck and you can spawn more.

@StarryCiel
Thanks I'll try that! I was wondering if any echoes were immune to the redead screams.

I've yet to find any, but enemies that can attack from range aren't too put out by them.

Apparently redead screams don’t affect you if you go inside a pot, so perhaps that’s nice way to avoid them in a pinch.

I normally just throw fire zols at them until they die though.

First Redead I defeated I just spawned a bunch of Octoroks to pelt it to death from a distance, as well as setting it on fire with an Ignizol as I recalled them being weak to fire in TOTK.

Seemed to work well enough.

The sleep dojo is finished. Nice reward.

Today I started Echoes of Wisdom, and I have just left Impa's Brother's House Still in the very beginning.

Really cute game but after all it has the same charm as Link's Awakening which I loved!

congrats! I still haven't beaten the one with the air blowers because it is annoying 😆 I actually enjoyed the boss one though.

@FishyS
Thanks. Some challenges are tricky, but thankfully there is no real reason, to go for a fast time bonus.

Alright I am at the point of no return. Should I just beat the game or go for 100%? I am missing three heart pieces, two stamps, sixteen strengh crystals and probably a few quests and items.

Edit: I will try to 100% it.

I’ve done a few sleep dojos, I’ll probably finish off the rest today. I’ve done all the horse racing which was surprisingly more fun than I expected. I’ve also collected 17 stamps and have 13 hearts altogether so I’m looking forward to maxing those out within the next couple of days. I’ve actually kind of struggled with the acorn gathering on some locations, but it shouldn’t be too bad.

And can we talk about how adorable the cat costume is? Good lord.

Can I just say - I really, REALLY like the jumping. It's emphasized here much more than Zeldas have in the past and it really does change how you interact with the environment. It's a thing I'd like to see future top-down Zeldas keep without locking it to an item of course.

@N00BiSH Yes. Strong agree. Legitimately should be part of the series forever.

Finally got a chance to start the game yesterday and had a wonderful time. I got through the first dungeon, and it was super fun. Really solid introduction to the mechanics. The things that surprised me most were the bosses. Staying spoiler free, the mini boss and main boss were both just fun. That's the best way to describe the game so far. Fun. Nothing crazy or mind-blowing, but fun. And boy was that what I needed right now. I cannot wait to play more.

@Kraven
I love the costume. When I got it, I talked with every cat. The dialogue is great and it made me appreciate how awesome cats are.

I dug out a might crystal at the same spot, where the ocarina from A Link To The Past can be dug out, nice.

Every game no matter the genre is better with jumping 😀
