The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom finally puts Zelda in the middle of the quest to save Hyrule. The game's wonderful diorama-like visuals add more charm to the already amazing gameplay, making Zelda's game a top choice for many critics and fans.
While The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom shines the spotlight on Princess Zelda, many fans wonder if the ever-famous Link will be in the game. The game's mechanics and story revolve solely around Zelda and Tri, but it is never a Zelda game without Link so we've created a guide for you on how to play as the silent protagonist!
Is Link in Echoes Of Wisdom?
Yes, Link is present in The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. In this iteration of Hyrule, Link is a resident of the Suthorn Village and became mute when he was dragged into the rift that plagued the village once. He managed to return, along with other kids who also lost something when they came back. In Link's case, it was his voice. Ever since he came back from the rift, Link was determined to stop all rifts, hence the reason why he is in the prologue.
Zelda can visit his house in the village as soon as she gets out of the castle during the early hours of the game.
His house showcases his iconic green color scheme, as well as a hat that is on the headboard of his unkept bed. Seems like Link has no time to make his bed, with all the happenings surrounding the kingdom.
Can You Play As Link in Echoes of Wisdom?
Yes, you can play as Link from the beginning of the game. But once the game shifts to Zelda, it'll be the princess throughout the whole main quests and side quests. However, the game allows you to play as Link but not in a traditional sense where you take control of Link himself.
How to Play as Link in Echoes of Wisdom?
Aside from the prologue part of the game, you can play as Link once Zelda acquires his Sword Of Might. This unlocks the Swordfighter Mode for Zelda, which requires Energy found from the Still World and obtained from smoothies. Just like Link, Zelda can jump, defend with a shield, and do a sword spin attack. Swordfighter Mode also changes Zelda's appearance similar to a spirit Link.
The Swordfighter Mode has a few upgrades that make it more similar to Link. It also allows Zelda to use a bow and some bombs just like how Link does in the previous Zelda games.
How to Get More Tools for the Swordfighter Form?
Zelda can obtain the Bomb tool after defeating the mini-boss located in the Eldin Temple Dungeon, while the Bow tool is obtainable by defeating the mini-boss in the Gerudo Sanctum Dungeon.
And there you have it! The game may not let you control Link himself but Nintendo has not forgotten the beloved hero. To stay on top of your game, be sure to check our The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom guides here in Gfinity Esports.
