| Escape Hyrule Castle Jail Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  At the start of the quest, walk south and learn the Decorative Shrub Echo. You can use this to complete the Decorative Shrub bridge ahead Next, learn the Old Bed Echo at the bottom of the ladder and stack them to create a staircase leading to the exit. |
| 2 |  Enter the well on the left side to enter a sidescrolling area, and use the echoes you've learned to reach the high ledge. |
| 3 |  Learn the Boulder Echo before pushing the boulder into the water. Hop on the floating wooden box and summon Box Echoes to reach the other side. Use the Boulder Echo to sink one of the crates then swim up to exit the sidescrolling area. |
| 4 |  Once the rift appears, run away from the rift and drop down on the water on the right. Swim until you're in a completely safe place! |
| Reach the House South of Hyrule Castle Objectives | |
|---|---|
| 1 |  Learn the Rock Echo and head to the right side to reach the exit. |
| 2 |
 On your first enemy encounter, lift the rock, lock on the enemy by pressing the ZL button, and throw it towards the Zol slime to defeat it. Learn the Zol Echo to use it as an ally. |
| 3 |  Head to the right side of the area until you find a tall platform with more rocks and sea urchins. Lift up the rock and throw it at the sea urchins to defeat them and learn the Sea Urchin Echo. You can reach the top by creating makeshift bridges with the Old Bed Echo from the platforms south. This is optional, but there is a Piece of Heart on top of a platform at the bottom left side of the area. Stand on the platform across, and stack your echoes to cross and collect the Piece of Heart. |
| 4 |  Head down to the two red ladders and use the rock to defeat Keese enemies and learn the Keese Echo. |
| 5 |  Keep going to the right and climb up the ladder to reach the exit. An optional route contains another Piece of Heart. To get it, use the Old Bed Echo to get to a higher platform, then use the Sea Urchin Echo to break the three stacked boxes and reach the Piece of Heart. |
| 6 |  Continue heading right until you reach a small village called Suthorn Village. Learn the Trampoline in front of the well as it will be useful for reaching high ledges. When you're done exploring the village, head northeast to reach the first Waypoint. |
| 7 |  Activate the waypoint then head right to enter the forest part. Head northwest until you reach an area with the house marked on your map, which is now swallowed by the rift. |
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |
 Make a detour to the east until you find the rift entrance to the Stilled Suthorn Forest. |
| 2 |
 Once inside the rift, jump across the floating platforms as you head northeast toward the cave. If you want to be more cautious when crossing gaps, you can summon Old Bed Echoes for extra stability. ▶︎︎ Stilled Suthorn Forest Rift Walkthrough |
| 3 |
 Enter the cave, then jump to the east side of the room. Step on the pressure plate to unlock the next area. It’s best to deal with the Rift Keeses first to avoid being knocked down while jumping across gaps. |
| 4 |
 Proceed to the next room, where the exit door will be locked. To unlock it, you’ll need to defeat the Rift Zols. Summoning a Peahat Echo can help you wipe out the enemies efficiently. |
| 5 |
 After exiting the cave, head northwest until you reach the entrance to Suthorn Ruins. |
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |
 Upon entering Suthorn Ruins, activate the Waypoint and proceed to the room to the north. ▶︎︎ Suthorn Ruins Walkthrough |
| 2 |
 Interact with the Boulder to learn how to use Bind. Press Y to Bind with the Boulder, then place it on the pressure plate to the left to unlock the door. Continue into the next room. |
| 3 |
 Move the Boulder to the left with Bind to reveal a ladder. Climb down the ladder to the next area. |
| 4 |
 Go back to the previous room and go down the ladder that was hidden under the Boulder. Defeat the first Strandtula that you run into to obtain its Echo, which you can use to attach a web strand to the ceiling. |
| 5 |
 Move a little more to the right and you will spot another Chest. Summon Strandtulas to attach webs that you can use to reach the Chest containing the Dungeon Map! Exit through the nearby ladder to continue. |
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |
 Summon another Strandtula on the gap to quickly reach the door to the left. You can also use a combination of Bed and Trampoline Echoes. |
| 2 |
 Head north and take the lift up. At the top of the ladder is a Darknut whose Echo you can use as a new powerful attack unit! To defeat the Darknut, summon a Peahat Echo to defeat it easily. Create a Trampoline so you can hop over the fallen pillar on your left then enter the next room. Go down the ladder inside. |
| 3 |
 The room below contains a Brazier puzzle where the door unlocks only after lighting all the Braziers. For the first unlit Brazier, you can simply summon a Brazier or an Ignizol Echo beside it, or if you don't have the Echoes, you can burn the nearby crate with the lit Brazier and place it next to the unlit one. |
| 4 |
 Go up the ladder and move the rock out of the way. Burn all the crates at the top to unlock the east exit. |
| 5 |
 You'll notice that only one knight statue is holding a shield. Pull that shield with Bind to open the next room. Remember this trick as it might come in handy later! *wink* |
| 6 |
 Go back to the main path, continue heading north, and up the long staircase until you find a familiar figure at the top. Defeat the clone of Link to continue. ▶︎︎ How to Beat Dark Link (Sword) |
| 7 |
 Pick up the Mysterious Sword from the ground and raise it to change into the Swordfighter Form! This Key item is neat as you can now fight head on together with your Echoes. The sword can also cut the ooze blocking your way to the ladder. |
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |
 Climb the ladder all the way down and pull the Boulder to the gap on your left. Hop on top of it and spawn a Strandtula so you can reach the Chest containing a Heart Pin, one of the many Accessories that can buff Zelda! Continue by taking the southeast ladder. |
| 2 |
 At the end of the next room is a huge locked door which leads to the boss room. This requires a special Key that you will get deeper into Suthorn Ruins. For now, go to the only open door on the west side. Defeat all the Deku Baba enemies here to unlock two new paths. |
| 3 |
 In the north room you'll find another Deku Baba behind a fence. Pull its head with Bind to reveal a Chest containing Small Key! It can only open small doors, though. |
| 4 |
 Return to the room with the huge locked door and open the small door to the right using the Small Key you found earlier. On the east end of the room, you will find another movable knight statue on the other side of a fence. Use Bind on it and place it on the pressure plate so you can use the ladder. |
| 5 |
 Use the moving platform to continue and in the next room, use Reverse Bind on the platform above so you can get to the other side. Repeat this until you reach the topmost ladder. Don't forget to open the Chest containing 20 Rupees along the way! |
| 6 |
Summon a Wooden Box and align it with the pillar that has the pressure plate. Then, summon a Table next to the Wooden Box. Bind the statue and jump to the top of the Wooden Box to give the statue enough elevation. Once the bars lower, open the big Chest to obtain the Big Key! Once the bars are lowered, open the big Chest to get the Big Key! |
| # | Step by Step Objectives |
|---|---|
| 1 |
 Use the opened shortcut to the south to quickly return to the room with the big door. Unlock the door with the Big Key to face Seismic Talus. ▶︎ How to Beat Seismic Talus |
| 2 |
 After beating the dungeon boss, you will obtain a full Heart Container and 5 unusual crystals! Leave through the portal to complete the dungeon. |
| 3 |
 Upon returning to the overworld, you will be greeted by Minister Lefte. Follow her to Lueburry's House, located northeast of Suthorn Village. |
| 4 |
 After a lengthy cutscene, the quest will be marked as complete, and you'll now be able to upgrade your Swordfighter Form! ▶︎ Searching for Everyone Walkthrough |
