Use the Bow to Shoot Shadow Zelda
Shadow Zelda can levitate in the air, making it difficult to land melee attacks. Switch to Swordfighter Form and use the Bow of Might to shoot her while she's airborne.
Once she falls to the ground, unleash a barrage of attacks with the Mysterious Sword.
Swordfighter Form and Abilities
Summon Support Echoes
Just like Zelda, Shadow Zelda can summon her own Echoes to fight alongside her.
Make sure to summon your own support Echoes like elemental Wizzrobes (Fire or Ice) to help you deal with her minions while you focus on taking down Shadow Zelda in Swordfighter Form.
Echoes List: All 127 Echo Locations
Collect Energy from Rift Enemies
Defeating Rift Enemies, such as Shadow Zelda's Echoes, will drop Energy that can be used to recharge Zelda’s Swordfighter Gauge. With so many Rift Enemies appearing throughout the fight, you’ll have a steady supply of Energy to maintain your Swordfighter Form against Shadow Zelda.
Match Shadow Zelda's Echoes in Each Phase
| Recommended Echoes | |
|---|---|
|
・Fire Wizzrobe ・Ice Wizzrobe ・Lizalfos Lv. 3 |
・ Spear Boarblin Lv. 2 ・ Boomerang Boarblin Lv. 2 ・ Lynel |
Shadow Zelda has three phases, with each phase summoning increasingly aggressive Monster Echoes. To keep up with the fight, summon your strongest Monster Echoes to counter her army.
For Phase 1, Shadow Zelda summons smaller Echoes like Freeze Slugs and Darknuts. During Phase 2, she brings in more dangerous Echoes like ReDeads and Tweelus. By Phase 3, she amps up the challenge, summoning tougher enemies, including Lizalfos Lv. 3, Boarblins, and Arurodas.
