Echoes of Wisdom Automatons Guide

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’s main mechanic is undeniably the ability to summon echoes, but it contains another more hidden mechanic that comes in useful, too: Automatons. Much like normal echoes, you can summon automatons with your Tri Rod. Unlike echoes, you must wind them up by holding the button near the automaton for a few seconds first. There are only a handful of them compared to the over 100 echoes (we have the full list here), but they each have their own special uses. After clearing up a rift in Hyrule Castle Town, you can find Dampe (the inventor who makes these Automatons) arguing with a crow north of Hyrule Ranch.

Zelda Echoes of Wisdom credits Shigeru Miyamoto

Maxnichols has taken a closer look at the credits for The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and believe it or not, Shigeru Miyamoto isn’t in them. It’s actually the first game in which he’s not credited for one of the series’ games.

Miyamoto, of course, is the creator of Zelda. But as many fans know, his role shifted within Nintendo over the past few years. Rather than focusing on game development, he’s been involved with other initiatives like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Super Nintendo World, and more. Nearly a decade ago, Miyamoto was given the new title “Creative Fellow”.

Professor Layton Nintendo

Professor Layton and the New World of Steam will be launching on Switch next year, and it seems to be because of Nintendo that the series is finally making a return.

It’s been eight years since the last entry in the franchise. Why’s not the right time for a comeback? Speaking during an event at the Tokyo Game Show, Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino pointed to an unnamed company “N” that wanted a new game released.

Hino said the following:
