Zelda's Swordfighter Form allows for short bursts of the familiar gameplay of Top Down Zelda titles. Learn more about how to get the Swordfighter form and how to use it in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (EoW).

Controls During Swordfighter Form | |
---|---|
B | High Jump |
Y | Attack (Hold) Spin Attack |
D-Pad Up | Enter Swordfighter Form
End Swordfighter Form |
ZL | Defend |
Press the D-Pad Up Button to enter the Swordfighter form, and press the button again to end it early. Swordfighter Form alters the controls and jumps with the B Button are higher than normal.
Pressing the Y button during the Swordfighter Form unleashes an attack instead of summoning an Echo. Holding the Y button charges for a spin attack, and pressing the button mid-jump unleashes a vertical slash.
Pressing the ZL button raises the shield, which is able to block incoming attacks. Enemies may stagger when their attacks are blocked, creating an opening for a counterattack.

The Lv. 1 beside the Swordfighter Gauge indicates that it may be available for upgrades. It is possible that the Swordfighter Form may receive upgrades in the following scenarios:
