The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom does not have a robust amount of gear to equip akin to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Zelda can change out of her cloak for different costumes, many of which can be obtained from Amiibo, but they won’t boost stats.
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.
She can equip accessories though which can boost stats or make certain things more readily available in the world from obtaining more hearts to getting more crafting ingredients. There are a lot of hidden accessories in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom but here are the best ones to equip onto Zelda and where players can easily find them.
6 Might Bell
Locate Might Crystals
- Location: Great Fairy Shrine
The Might Bell will help players find Might Crystals which help upgrade the Swordfighter form in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Once equipped, it will chime when one is nearby. Players can get it from the Great Fairy who resides in a cave on a lake to the east of Hyrule Castle Town and directly above the Suthorn Ruins. Normally, players can pay her Rupees to increase their accessory limit, but once that is complete and players finish the Elden Temple main quest, a new prompt will appear.
The side quest is called The Great Fairy's Request and it’s rather involved. Players have to get a Floral Seashell from the Sea Zora Village, and a Magma Stone from the Goron City shop, and then have those combined into a piece of jewelry via the shopkeeper in Gerudo Town. Satisfied, the Great Fairy will reward players with the Might Bell.
5 Goron's Bracelet
Carry Speed Increased
- Location: Eldin Volcano Summit Cave
The Goron's Bracelet is a reward for the side quest, A Mountainous Mystery. It’s also only accessible after the main quest involving the Eldin Temple is complete. For this task, players have to investigate a cave north of Lizalfos Burrow called Eldin Volcano Summit Cave.
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.
Here, players will have to navigate through a mini-dungeon which also has a boss at the end. The boss looks like an inflamed version of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom’s first boss in the Suthorn Ruins, Seismic Talus so let’s call it Fire Talus. It is stronger than Seismic Talus and the extra heat will surely give players a sweaty time. For completing this side quest, players can carry things faster with the Goron’s Bracelet equipped from rocks to monsters.
4 Clockwork Bangle
Speed Up Automatons
- Location: Dampé's Studio
The Clockwork Bangle is a reward for completing all of Dampé's automaton requests. About halfway through the game, players can meet and ask Dampé to craft them some automatons which are robotic monsters and they truly change The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. There are six automatons in total and among those, Tocktorok is well worth the struggle to get an immediately powerful canon.
To make these automatons work, players have to wind them up like an old-school toy. It can take a bit which is why the Clockwork Bangle comes in handy since it literally speeds up the process. There are smoothies to drink as well, but the Clockwork Bangle’s effects are more regulated.
3 Ancient Charm
Boost Defense
- Location: Eastern Temple
The Ancient Charm will boost defense for players and technically it’s not the best accessory that does this. However, it’s a step in the right direction and it’s still a good accessory to have regardless. To start, players must head to the Eastern Temple which is located east of Hyrule Castle Town. And yes, it does look like the Eastern Temple from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past but whether or not the two games are linked directly is a classic Zelda mystery.
Players will meet Sago here, an explorer, who will give them the Let's Play a Game side quest. Players have to solve some puzzles inside, defeat the boss Smog, and then they can collect their reward. After this side quest is done and players complete the main campaign in the Faron Wetlands, players can attempt to get the Curious Charm which is a stronger version as part of the Cotton-Candy Hunt side quest.
2 First Mastery
Reduce Swordfighter Form Energy Consumption
- Location: Slumber Dojo (Kakariko Village)
The Slumber Dojo is located in Kakariko Village and players can get an assortment of prizes here. For example, an item needed for the automaton quest line is located here. Players can also find a Heart Piece to start raising their health.
By completing monster-based trials, the master of this dojo will reward players when they reach a threshold. First Mastery will reduce energy consumption for the Swordfighter form, which is a great bonus. Players can then get an evolved form of this accessory, Second Mastery, and also Final Mastery. It’s a great incentive for players to come back and check in on the dojo master as players progress through the main campaign’s story.
1 Frog Ring
Jump Higher Like A Frog
- Location: Hyrule Castle (B2)
The Frog Ring can be found in one of the most bizarre places within The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. One would think it would become available in the Faron Wetlands region since there are frogs everywhere. Instead, the Frog Ring is locked inside a chest within Hyrule Castle. Players can get it during the rift section of the game. It will give Zelda a boost in her jumps, allowing her to clear one level higher than she could previously.
For example, the early wooden boxes can now be clear without the assistance of a small table or trampoline, giving her a Mario-like boost. It’ll be a lot easier to complete challenges, like the various acorn mini-games, when players don’t have to worry about creating Echoes. It’s not a giant leap forward, but it’s still a nice quality-of-life upgrade that makes it even better than damage reduction or anything else on the list.
