Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom dev explains how the echoes were chosen

How did Grezzo and Nintendo go about choosing the echoes in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom? Co-director Satoshi Terada shared some insight in a recent interview.

There are a massive amount of echoes to find and collect in the game – over 100, in fact. Terada shared the following about the thought process of making them, telling Famitsu in a recent interview:

“We first thought about how many echoes each region should have, then after considering using regions from the series’ past, we also thought ‘what experiences would be unique to each region?’ Furthermore, we also tried to prepare ‘things we think would be interesting’. Because there were a lot of echoes, we tried to make each and every one’s unique characteristics stand out to differentiate them.”

Terada also pointed out something about the pots. While they may initially seem like they’re mostly the same, when Zelda enters one it actually has its own unique movement speed.

Thanks to Famitsu for the quote above. Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is out now on Nintendo Switch everywhere. For those looking for a complete list of echoes in the game, we have that here.
