Best Echoes to Get Early in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Here are our top recommendations for the best Echoes to acquire early in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. For a comprehensive list of every Echo in the game, make sure to check out the complete Echoes locations and abilities guide.

Peahat Echo

The Peahat Echo stands out as not only a strong choice for the early game but a potential mainstay throughout your adventure. Longtime fans of the series may remember the Peahat as a formidable foe, making its transition to an ally all the more intriguing.

This Echo will soar across the battlefield, adeptly maneuvering over gaps and water to impale enemies with its spikes. You can unleash a Peahat Echo, sit back, and enjoy the chaos it creates, collecting the rewards of its victory afterward.

The Peahat Echo can be found in a cave on the eastern side of Suthorn Forest, directly south of the rift leading to the Suthorn Ruins. We highly recommend obtaining it before taking on the first dungeon, as it also allows you to complete one of the initial side quests, ‘Finding the Flying Plant,’ which rewards you with useful Might Crystals.

Keese Echo

Though you’ll encounter the Keese Echo very early in your adventure, don’t underestimate its value. The Keese provides useful aerial combat support, diving down to attack foes. Additionally, holding on to this Echo allows Zelda to soar down to lower areas, making it handy for reaching new items or exploring.

The Keese Echo can be found in the cave linking Suthorn Beach and Suthorn Village.

Trampoline Echo

In the various dungeons, caves, and the overworld of Hyrule, there are many hard-to-reach places. Fortunately, the Trampoline Echo can help you overcome this challenge!

This Echo enhances Zelda’s jump height, making it perfect for accessing elevated areas. You can even place it strategically between gaps (as long as there’s a supporting floor) to give Zelda a boost if she falls.

The Trampoline Echo is easily found early on, located by the well in Suthorn Village.

Ignizol Echo

Fire is both a giver of life and a bringer of destruction. With the Ignizol Echo, you can not only eliminate plant-based obstacles in Zelda’s way but also ignite patches of grass. If enemies are hiding in that grass? They’ll get scorched as well. You can send the Ignizol Echo out even without kindling, and it has a good chance of igniting foes, especially Deku Babas.

However, be cautious; if your Ignizol encounters water, it will be extinguished.

Finding the Ignizol Echo is relatively straightforward, as you can encounter one in the first cave in Suthorn Forest. This cave is worth exploring fully, as it contains a Fairy Bottle as well.

Spear Moblin Echo

The Spear Moblin, a familiar enemy from the Legend of Zelda series, makes a return in Echoes of Wisdom. This time, however, you can utilize its spears to your advantage.

The Spear Moblin Echo excels at ranged attacks against flying foes, but it also performs well in close combat. Just be mindful that it takes a brief moment to recharge between throws. A stronger variant, the Spear Moblin Lv. 2, exists but is not available early in the game.

The Spear Moblin Echo can be found in the Suthorn Forest and is a great asset against the early enemies you’ll face, including the Peahat, helping you acquire its Echo.

Crawltula Echo

The Crawltula Echo focuses more on exploration than combat. By using Bind on a Crawltula Echo, you can climb cliffs, mountains, and buildings, aiding Zelda in her quest.

It’s crucial to remember that you must Bind Zelda to the Crawltula Echo for it to function properly. Once bound, the Crawltula Echo is entirely under your control.

The Crawltula Echo is located in the Suthorn Prairie, accessible after completing the Suthorn Ruins.

Soft Bed Echo

While a restful night is often considered one of life’s simple pleasures, the Soft Bed Echo allows Zelda to regain hearts during her journey. Among the three Bed Echoes, the Old Bed Echo found in Hyrule Castle has the slowest restoration rate.

After completing the Suthorn Ruins, you can find the Soft Bed Echo in a tent at the Gerudo Desert oasis. This Echo restores hearts at a much faster rate than the Old Bed Echo, making it worthwhile to stop by the oasis, even if your immediate goal is to tackle the Zora dungeon.

Holmill Echo

The Holmill Echo has two significant purposes: creating holes for enemies to fall into and revealing hidden areas. By using this Echo on small patches of light brown dirt, you can uncover secret locations or alternative cave entrances, often containing treasures like Heart Pieces.

To find the Holmill Echo, look for it during the ‘A Rift in the Gerudo’ main quest, specifically in the cave required for the ‘Ancestor’s Cave of Rest Rift’ quest.

Flying Tile Echo

The Flying Tile is one of the more peculiar enemies in the Legend of Zelda series. This Echo can be found inside a cave in the northern region of the Gerudo Desert. It’s excellent for crossing gaps or striking enemies, but keep in mind that it shatters upon impact.

Water Block Echo

The Water Block Echo requires some work to obtain but is an essential tool for traversal. By creating streams both horizontally and vertically, Zelda can swim in any direction the water flows, making it useful for crossing gaps and reaching high areas.

The Water Block Echo is located within the Stilled Jabul Waters rift, which you can access by completing the buildup for the Jabul Ruins.

Bombfish Echo

Similar to the Water Block Echo, the Bombfish Echo requires effort to obtain, as it is found within the Stilled Upper Zora Rift. This explosive Echo is perfect for destroying obstacles both in and out of the water and can be used against enemies as well.

With its explosive capabilities, the Bombfish Echo is crucial for your journey in Hyrule, as it helps you overcome barriers that would otherwise impede your progress.
