The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is a fun mixture of classic top-down Zelda games and modern 3D ones. For example, it has the art style and some of the gameplay elements of the 2019 remake of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.
6 Things To Do First In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is another expansive Nintendo Switch adventure, and players will want to do a few things as soon as possible.
It also has some mechanics from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild such as the open-world exploration and the cooking ability. In certain areas of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, players will meet various Business Scrubs who can make Zelda various smoothies to heal or boost stats temporarily. Here are the best ones to craft in the game.
6 Warming Potion
Hike Through Cold Weather Without Losing Health
- Ingredients: Warm Pepper and Monster Fang
There’s a point in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom wherein players will have to hike up Hebra Mountain to get to a dungeon called Lanayru Temple. This area is chilly and will actively deplete hearts. To correct this status effect, players can spawn torches around them or they can drink things like a Warming Potion.
This will combat the cold by giving players the Chill-Proof boon for five minutes. It can be crafted with a Warm Pepper and a Monster Fang. There is an alternative concoction to this called a Warm Rocktato Smoothie. It will only grant three minutes of Chill-Proof but it will restore some energy to the Swordfighter form meter in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Players need a Warm Pepper and a Rocktato for this smoothie.
5 Golden Chilly Smoothie
Restore Health And Become Fire-Proof
- Ingredients: Chilly Cactus and Golden Egg
The Golden Chilly Smoothie performs the opposite effect of the Warming Potion as it will cool players down. It will grant players the Fire-Proof boon for five minutes and it can heal twenty hearts which may be more than what most players have at this point in the game. To craft this smoothie, players will need to find a Chilly Cactus and a Golden Egg which is one of the rarest crating materials in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – 8 Heart Piece Locations To Boost Your Health Fast
In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, players will need to find Heart Pieces to boost Zelda’s health. Here are 8 early locations that have them.
The Golden Chilly Smoothie is a great concoction to have when traveling the Eldin Volcano area, especially inside the Eldin Temple dungeon. There’s lava and heated floors all over the place and it can help the most during the boss fight against Volvagia who is a classic dragon in the Zelda series. An alternative to the Golden Chilly Smoothie would be the Chilly Potion which still grants five minutes of Fire-Proof but there is no health recovery. Players need to substitute the Golden Egg for the Monster Guts to craft it.
4 Golden Rapid Smoothie
Restore Health And Swim Faster
- Ingredients: Riverhorse and Golden Egg
The Golden Rapid Smoothie is another drink that needs the illustrious Golden Egg along with the Riverhorse material. It can heal twenty hearts and it will grant players five minutes of extra swimming speed. Water is all over Hyrule but players will need it the most when they are in the Jabul Waters region of the map. From exploring the map and finding side quests in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom to venturing into that region’s dungeon, there are going to be some large swim-based trials.
Lord Jabu-Jabu and Vocavor are tough bosses without swimming enhancements. An alternative would be the Zora’s Flippers accessory which players can buy in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Another solution would be the Rapid Potion which boosts swimming speed for five minutes and players just need a Riverhorse and a Monster Fang for that.
3 Golden Twisty Smoothie
Become The Master Of Automatons With Sped Up Winding
- Ingredients: Twisted Pumpkin and Golden Egg
The Golden Twisty Smoothie will be a good one to mix up once players start making automatons with Dampe in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. He can be found in Hyrule Field once players progress through returning Hyrule Castle to normal. Dampe, with the right materials, can make robotic versions of monsters to aid in battle. They don’t cost Tri any power in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom either, so it’s like gaining a new ally.
To use these automatons, players have to wind them up first with a key. The Golden Twisty Smoothie speeds up this process for five minutes and it will heal players for twenty hearts. Players need to gather a Twisted Pumpkin and a Golden Egg for this drink. Alternatively, players can craft a Twisty Potion with a Monster Fang and a Twisted Pumpkin that will focus on the speed enhancement alone.
2 Golden Tough Smoothie
Restore Health And Boost Defense
- Ingredients: Touch Mango and Golden Egg
The Golden Tough Smoothie will heal hearts, predictably, but it will also boost defense for five minutes. Some accessories will do this as well, but other than that and the smoothie, there are no other ways to make Zelda tougher defensively. She can collect costumes by using Amiibo in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom but they won’t boost stats like clothes in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
Stat boosting aside, the Golden Tough Smoothie can be made with a Tough Mango and a Golden Egg. By using Monster Guts instead of the Golden Egg, players can make a Tough Potion to boost defense for five minutes. Also, adding Tough Mangoes to most ingredients will add a defensive boost to a smoothie, so players should try experimenting.
1 Salted Milky Smoothie
Restore Health And Energy
- Ingredients: Fresh Milk and Rock Salt
The Salted Milky Smoothie boils things down to the two essentials of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Players need to heal and they need to regain energy used by the Swordfighter form. Players are probably going to have an abundance of Fresh Milk and Rock Salt ingredients from chests, side quests, and monster drops.
That makes crafting this drink easy, so players should fill up a majority of their inventory with this smoothie right before a main dungeon. It only heals ten hearts but it will replenish all lost energy which is the better perk. The longer players can assume the Swordfighter form, the easier time they will have in the game. It’s as simple as that to make it the number one smoothie in all of Hyrule.
