List of All Echoes

Collect Monsters As Echoes to Fight For You

You can also collect Monsters as Echoes to have them fight for you, making combat much more efficient compared to engaging enemies yourself.

You could also use monsters to help you with certain environmental hazards that are preventing you from going to progress specific locations.

Use Swordfighter Form to Help Your Monster Echoes in Battle

At some point in the game, you will acquire the Swordfighter Form that allows Princess Zelda to fight with a sword and shield. The princess also wears Link's iconic hat and tunic when donning this form.

The Swordfighter Form can greatly help you in enemy battles as you can enter this form while also helping out Monster Echoes you've summoned in battle.

Do note that there is a time limit when using the Swordfighter Form, so use it wisely!

How to Use the Swordfighter Form

Use Automatons to Utilize Their Unique Effects

Automatons are robotic gizmos that can be activated by Princess Zelda to help her with her journey through Hyrule.

They have unique effects in the game when used, which can help you win enemy battles or overcome environmental hazards in the game.

Use Waypoints or Steeds to Ease Travel

Traversing Hyrule is a huge undertaking, so explore several options to travel such as using waypoints or riding on steeds.

After you've learned how to make a Carrot Echo, you can have your steed gallop towards where you are and have it readily available for you to ride.

Blend Smoothies Through Smoothie Shops

You can also use the ingredients you've collected from your travels and blend them to make smoothies using the Smoothie Shops you find on your progress.

The effects of smoothies will vary depending on the ingredients you've used, so make sure to take note of the smoothies you've found useful in the game.

Use Bind to Take Advantage of Your Surroundings

When Echoes aren't enough, you can use Bind to help you clear obstacles in the game and get rid of enemies in an efficient way.

This ability enables you to bind Princess Zelda to objects or creatures of her choosing, and enable her to move them somewhere or cling to them as they move.

You can also bind to your Echoes so that you can move faster or climb hard-to-reach walls, so getting creative is important when using this feature.
