Glitches are always big within the Zelda community, and one of the more recent ones lets you play as Link in Echoes of Wisdom.
It’s true that when you first start up the game, you’ll get brief control of the character – as we’ve seen in past trailers. However, after that initial section, it’s all about Zelda. With this glitch, however, you can do a bit more as Link.
YouTuber alyo shared the method in a recent video. Here are the steps needed to play as Link beyond the opening in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom:
How to get all the automatons in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
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.
Echoes of Wisdom is the first Zelda game without Miyamoto in the credits

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”.

Today, we’re going over a Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom money farming method that’ll help you earn quick Rupees – and easily.
Rupees are an important aspect of every Zelda game, but there’s a particularly high number of items to buy in Echoes of Wisdom. You’ve got accessories, smoothies, and Great Fairy accessory slot upgrades competing for your money, so we’ve put together a guide on how to quickly and effectively farm infinite money. You can technically just go around looking for treasure chests you haven’t opened yet (as well as completing any side quests you may have missed), but our method works alongside those and can easily be performed on autopilot.

Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is available now, and as with most recent Zelda games, it’s got compatibility with specific amiibo figures with rewards to unlock. This comes in the form of random cooking items and exclusive outfits, but the latter aren’t obtained until later in the game. This post contains very minor spoilers on what exactly you have to clear to unlock that functionality, but if you’re all good with that, then we’ve compiled all amiibo-exclusive gear and which specific figurines will yield what items.
[Let’s Talk] Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom impressions
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom just came out, and we want to get impressions from those who started the game this week.
There’s no doubt that this is one of Nintendo’s biggest titles of the year and for Switch as a whole. Zelda has been going strong, but if we’re looking strictly at 2D games, this is the first one we’ve gotten in quite some time. It’s also significant for putting Zelda in the starring role and offering a new spin on the franchise’s formula while also taking inspiration from some of the things we saw from Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
So if you’re playing Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, how are you feeling about it? Let us know in the comments below.
Flag Race short course guide for Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Guides, Switch | 0 comments
The Legend of Zelda series is home to some of the most iconic villains in all of gaming, and Echoes of Wisdom has just introduced a brand-new one, which is the Flag Race mini-game. If you haven’t encountered it already, you’ll unlock it after completing a few specific steps. First, you need to have progressed far enough in the story that Impa tells you about a white horse (you can’t miss it, don’t worry). From there, you’ll need to head to Hyrule Ranch and then close a rift to unlock Zelda’s signature white horse. However, that’s where the challenge starts: upon unlocking this specific horse, Hyrule Ranch starts offering the Flag Race mini-game that has exclusive prizes within. And the Flag race short course is particularly difficult.
How to get a horse in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Today, we’re going over how to complete the Runaway Horse quest in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and get your very own steed.
Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is available now, and it’s got the largest overworld of any 2D entry in the series. That means traversing it on foot takes a long time. Fortunately, it’s possible to unlock the ability to tame and ride horses from Hyrule Ranch pretty early on in the game. This is done through the Runaway Horse side quest, which you can activate by talking to a man in Hyrule Ranch (which is a ways northwest from Lueburry’s House, if you’ve made it there).

System: Switch
Release date: September 26, 2024
Developer: Grezzo / Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
It’s no secret that the Legend of Zelda franchise has seen a big resurgence on Switch. The release of Breath of the Wild in 2017 changed the direction of the series for many years to come – the effects of which we’re still seeing today. For many years, fans wondered if games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom would push traditional 2D Zelda titles to the wayside for good. We didn’t have a definitive answer for the longest time, but this week, we finally got it – The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is finally here, and it proves that 2D Zelda not only is here to stay, but has a place alongside Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom as one of the better games in the series. Echoes of Wisdom is a clever, innovative title that brings forth a new and fully fleshed-out way to play the game.

We’ve got a complete list of all echoes in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom following today’s launch.
Echoes are how you’ll do most of your exploring in the game. With the fairy Tri at your side who gives you access to the Tri Rod, you can create imitations of things found in the environment. These can then be used when you’re looking to solve puzzles and battle enemies.
