I think echoes of wisdom is approaching if not at my all time favorite zelda game at this point. It was really a step in the right direction and i hope they do more innovative games like it in the future.
I completed it 100%. I wish the menu for echoes was better (multiple rows perhaps based on echo types?) and that the game was bigger, as it didn't take very long to beat at all. Also, some of the rewards were really not worth the effort. The biggest offender was the reward for collecting every might crystal. It is definitely worth upgrading your weapons and energy (although I almost never used bombs, as I had echoes for that job early on before I even unlocked bombs of might), but the final reward is so lame. At that point in the game, it is honestly pointless, especially with certain smoothies and accessories, which I will keep spoiler free. Overall it was a very fun game, despite everything I said.
Absolutely love it! Been playing for 5 days straight most of the day :D I had worked out almost all these tricks but had not thought of the binding tricks to bring your echoes to monsters and fight more efficiently. Nice one!
Summon a bird, bind yourself to it, then echo a piece of meat and pick it up, the bird will keep trying to move towards the meat, but since you're bound it'll move with him, allowing you to fly in straight line for basically infinite distances so long as you dont hit anything.
The most important tip: If you summon a creature while targeting an enemy, the summoned creature will immediately attack. For most creatures, it will be WAY faster (and more accurate) to simply resummon it, than to wait for the next attack.
Also if you summon a creature and then target something, it will also attack as soon as you target, considering it hasn't tageted something else already
Lol I actually figured this out in I guess a dungeon or a cave. An "elevator" would go up and down through blasting frost but there were some pots conveniently next to it lol
You can get the boulder echo during the early main story, it is really useful as a makeshift shield to block a lot of boss attacks(especially projectiles) and you can use it to seal off enemy movement if you’re being surrounded. Essentially the Boulder is a _Solid_ Defense Tool
@@iancomtois9832 Or a sea urchin if you want damage along with the stun and knockback. Dropping a sea urchin from a height can also break all crate/boxes below it if I remember right. I think the boulder just breaks the one on top.
My favorite toy is the water block, it makes a super simple ladder. If you cast a second block onto an existing one, it just goes to the top, so you can just build a water block tower and swim up the wall
also doing the Zora sidequests will get you the rupee++ charm. the rupee+ charm is also arround the Zora domain. I never struggled with rupees on this game, but I did use a lot of crows.
Crows are the MVP of this game. They make extra rupees, they’re strong enough so they’re viable attackers until the late game, they fly so they can’t fall into bottomless pits. And since they preferentially target rupees you can absolutely forget about having to find your way over to that rupee you can see up on the ledge, just summon a crow and it will immediately go over and grab the rupee for you.
Just don’t forget to un-summon them after the first hit, or they’ll go after the rupees. Also only enemies at full health drop rupees, and enemies already attacked by a crow won’t drop the one rupee after death.
Some of the monsters are so “not smart” that they can’t find the enemy to kill. That bind trick is a great idea, move them exactly where they need to attack.
@@ChibiAzurenightmare Agreed. But with that, you are limited to their movement speed and AI for attacking. Darknuts are slow to move and attack but if you have Zelda's speed, they are pretyt good.
@@ChibiAzurenightmare Nah, even with targeting the AI is stupid as f. It's better to spam them on top of enemies to trigger the first attack and then re-summon immediately.
Just started yesterday and even though I knew how the game worked I didn't really get it until I started playing. I've barely scratched the surface and excited to discover more. It's impressive how deep they managed to make a game that seems so simple. Simple mechanics that go wide.
Bed bridges and Crow gangs have been my friends throughout the game so far. Those crows have gotten me out of some nasty pickles, and I've even defeated a few bosses just using Crows. Those little peckers are very determined lol.
Honestly, I was thinking something more along the lines of Bedknobs and Broomsticks, LOL! (Old film from like the 1960s I caught on TV when I was a kid decades after release; want to say Angela Lansbury was in it).
I have a note for the Sea Urchin tip. The Ignizol is also just a better Sea Urchin. It deals fire damage on contact, and burns for a couple extra ticks as well. Plus, they can move around and attack on their own, but are also slow enough for you to keep them between you and enemies.
Yes it IS faster to heal in beds by sleeping, then getting up again, but that only works until you get the silk pajamas, then its easier and faster to equip them and just sleep.
Something I accidentally did while playing was find out the L button is also the echo menu button. I don't think the game tells u this and only tells u about the D pad input. But, that was quite uncomfortable for me, so, I just use the L button and my left stick. If using the D pad for the echo menu is uncomfortable for u, just use the L button.
Pretty sure the game tells you that, because it's the only way I've done it. Never used the d pad before. Your comment is the first time I knew the dpad even did that, lol. L button a lot better tho, agreed.
The pot hiding thing is also useful in areas where electricity or fire or ice is being blasted towards you by a cannon or something, it just makes you immune to it
I think echos of wisdom might be my favourite zelda game of all time, it combines elements of the whole series whist being a cozy creative little adventure. Now if they could do something with the UI that would be perfect

My update to quickly scrolling your Echo inventory... they are grouped in the Notebook. If you hold the right button to open the quick menu, you have the option from there to hit + and hop into the notebook directly, and it will go straight to whichever echo you're hovering over. So you don't need to scroll all the way to the exact echo you want. If you want some fish, just find the most recent fish and hit +, and you'll be right near all the fish. Same with plants. Combine this with spamming for Most Used, and you can keep that list short by not doing more than one category of Echo. No reason to do Spear and Sword Moblin, just do one of them and if you want the other, you're like 3 spaces away. And Lynels aren't too far from that. Suddenly realize you need a Gopongo plant? Just go to your Deku Baba, hit +, and scroll over.
here is another tip if you make a part 2: if you want to use a crawltula , but there is a body of water in the way; lay down a bed first, there is just enough room to summon and stand on it, allowing you to crawl up almost any wall in the game
I’m around 30-40 hours in towards a 100% playthrough… I’m realizing I haven’t been using bind and targeting not nearly enough 😂 Great informative vid! This game really is something special 💯
Two flying tiles, provided your tri is a high enogh level, can infinately staircase up any height infinately (until the height barrier) as long as you are fast enough to make sure the tiles dont crash into each other. Reccomended to use jump up accessory.
Finished a few hours ago. I discovered many, but now I’m surfing the tube to see creativity on a whole new level. Baba plants on those moving razors? Genius!
Fun gimmick I figured out; Platbooms will always go a bit above where they were spawned on their way back up. Using them one after another can gain you some serious height, very quickly! Its especially useful for when there are no walls to crawltula on.
When I caught a Platboom I knew it was going to be a game changer. Messing around when I could summon two, I skipped the whoooooole "climb Hebra mountain" segment accidentally. Loved doing that, but I still went through to the caves to see if I missed anything. You can create infinite elevators with two of them and the correct timing.
I learned about the Bed resting by accident when I got the 2nd bed ability from Gerudo Town and hit A Button by mistake. It's such a great feature that I almost wish all Zelda games had that ability even if they nerfed it in future Zelda games to use a tent outside or something. I didn't know you could latch onto flying enemies either and proves I need to experiment with the X button or Bind more often. All really good tips! 😎
Here's mine: fire octorocks are weak, even with numbers, but they're immune to fire projectiles. There are 3 bosses that use fire projectiles and can tank/aggro the fires for you.
If you use a water cube off of a ledge but while on the front edge of the screen inside a room (against the invisible wall that you are looking through), you can make a traveling continuous path of water blocks to swim through that can span any size gap. The first block must touch a ledge to build off from and MUST be against the invisible wall in a room/dungeon on the front edge of the screen. Then future blocks build off your prior water blocks. As you use up your summons triangles, eventually you will de-spawn your first water block that touches the initial land edge... but the entire span doesn't break because the blocks are still touching the invisible wall/collider at the front edge of the screen. Just keep moving forward, spawning more blocks in front of you as the blocks at the end de-spawn. It looks as if your water bridge is floating since it is not touching any land... but it is really touching the invisible wall/collider that the player is looking through. Hopefully this description makes sense. Try it out!
That’s what i really love about the game. Most of the things you showed i discovered by myself and that were great moments and led to other ideas and inspirations.
If you head north and slightly east from Hyrule Ranch after finishing "Still Missing", you'll find Dampe yelling at a crow - defeat it and meet him at his house, and with the right combo of Echoes and Items, he'll craft Automatons you can deploy like echoes that are separate from Echoes themselves (including big explosions, rapid-fire rocks, music performance, half-screen sword swings, money-birds and trash compactors). You have to wind them up, and they can be damaged and need repairs, but they can be used WITH Echoes, and they're also powerful alone.
personally found him just above lake hylia, around the mound that was link's house in aLttP and LBW, but havent done enough playthroughs to know exactly how his spawning works.
I have finished the game, and spent most fights spamming crows as soon as I got them. The crows chasing after rupees was a bit annoying, but the mobbing of so many at once proved very effective in most fights (except against electric enemies - had to use ranged summons for those)
I just cleared the fourth dungeon, and I love how there isn't necessarily one solution to every puzzle. Definitely one of my top Zelda games I've played. I will absolutely have to try the "drown them in a water block" method, though. It shame most of these strategies probably don't work on the Lynel, though...not that you'd be able to even use him where I am in the game, due to costing 6 units of wand energy.
The lynel is pretty easy with the level 3 sword moblin though tbh. I just targeted the lynel, spawned the moblin and immediately after the attack spawned a new one. Do that a couple of times and voila
@@Eagle_Owl2 sure, if you have 5+ summon slots to work with... i did it with lvl2s, running for the hills as i place them behind me enough to distract the lynel, blocking just enough hits to make a net positive progress.
This is in my #3 favorite zelda (after skyward sword and twilight princess). I have almost 9 hours in just 2 days... and i dont get tired, it is very creative
the fact that you can hop into pots is one of the first things I found out- even before meeting Tri. there’s this one villager house with pots in it, and I jokingly jumped at one. low and behold, I can get into pots. so glad I found that out before having to sneak past the guards after getting captured!
I'd like to add a tip for beds (especially the low tier) if you lay down, heal, stand back up, lay down again and heal again, it's significantly faster than just laying in the bed for the T1 and T2 beds. This allows for faster healing in hero mode especially and should be helpful for people who need health fast.
The one eyed yellow platform echo is great for going verticle too, to get on top of trees or high areas. Also the strandtula is great for making rope bridges in the 2d areas.
Haven't finished it yet, but I am really enjoying the idea of using the in-game monsters as a toolbox for gameplay and puzzle solving. One of my cleverest moments happened while I was working on the Zora rift. Got chased by a Chompfin, but managed to lure it next to the boat in Zora Cove, and then I stood on the boat and spammed Urchins on his head til he died. That Chompfin is my favorite underwater attacker now, lol.
You can summon water cubes against walls to swim up the wall and the summon cubes to move forward. This can let you swim along the wall to travel over obstacles, gaps, or do “stealth” missions a bit more easily.
Great list & content. I'm about 3 hours in and really like the idea of a different style of Zelda game. I'm not all that creative but enjoy trying new things. I'm looking forward to trying out the water block trick. So sadistic!
You can also bind onto enemies. Since they always come toward you, you can travel infinite distances. Try binding a enemy keese inside a cave to cross a giant gap and you'll see what I mean
I am absolutely IN LOVE with this game! To finally have a lizalfos and wolfos at my side in a zelda game feels surreal! And I love the open-ended puzzle solutions!!!!
Game of the year for me! I want so so much more. Thank you for this video, I 100%d the game but learned something new! Didn't realize the rt analog stick made it top down! Also that smoothie song on Spotify when?
I’ve been introducing my daughter to Zelda over this last year (she is 7 now) and this is her first solo Zelda game. She is loving it and I honestly have been borrowing it after she is in bed because the creativity makes it super fun to play. It’s like Tears of the Kingdom meets Link’s Awakening.
That pushing tables trick is even more game-changing thinking about beds. 1) Spawn a bed and jump on it 2) Spawn a second bed that’s 1/2 on the first bed 3) Push the second bed so it’s only 1/4 on the first bed 4) Repeat to reach a way further distance away
I don't use bind nearly enough these were super useful and fun! I'm definitely gonna try these and also drowning enemies in the water cube is hilarious 😂
Awesome tips video! 👏 Especially with the spiders! I was wondering how to get that chest way way waaay up on top of that rock wall in a cave 🤔 well now I know lol 😂
My favorite move is a lvl 3 Darknut bind, they usually do a spin attack with their axe, and it is awesomely powerful against many enemies and bosses, with the minor downside being it isn't a constant attack. My other favorite move is spamming sea urchins, but it isn't the strongest option sometimes.
I loved the game. 100%ed it as far as I can tell. There were like 3 tips here I didn’t know or barely used (it would have been so helpful to remove shields! 😫). Fascinating to think how everybody’s most used list will be different. I used SO many Platbooms for mobility and Lizalfos 3 for combat.
I liked spamming the water blocks to make my own ladders either across or up ledges. Sadly they're fragile and break if an enemy hits the block, and they have to be touching something like the ground or walls to appear. I wish I knew about the crawling spider trick but I never really thought to use the follow trick a lot. Not that I used the horse either, much less follow on a fast moving mob monster haha. Here's another trick: spam summon Wizrobes. Each time they're summoned they immediately attack, but take a while to do so again as they hover, teleport, then attack. Summoning a new one will get rid of the other but it's essentially making them teleport on command and having them at full health each time. It's a late game trick though as they're available at mid to late game, but hope that helps!
The thwomps rise a certain height from where you spawn them so if you make a new one from atop the first one you can make an elevator to go up any wall you want. They also clear of wall crawling enemies for you in a jiffy.
Flying tile is a great distraction tool in stealth missions. Also great for hopping the gaps between tall objects (ie shelves) so you can get to the objective sooner.
I just beat it yesterday. Now I'm replaying it on Hard Mode, doing a 3 Heart Run. The battle with Ganon at the beginning as Link, one hit with his spear basically nearly 1-shots you (with the max hearts you start off with). I was like Damn! I know fairies and smoothies are going to come in clutch during this run.

The most important tip:
If you summon a creature while targeting an enemy, the summoned creature will immediately attack. For most creatures, it will be WAY faster (and more accurate) to simply resummon it, than to wait for the next attack.
Lizalfos really like to abuse this mechanic, especially the Lv.3 one
This also helps hit switches. L-targeting can also let you bind things above or below you, which is very difficult otherwise.
i do this with the flying mushroom that drops bombs, if you repeatedly summon they make a bomb each time and suddenly the enemy is covered >:)
Also if you summon a creature and then target something, it will also attack as soon as you target, considering it hasn't tageted something else already
The Wizzrobes benefit so much from this strategy. Bosses like Gohma are a cakewalk using the Thunder Wizzrobe.
Something funny to add for you:
Pots also protect you from fire and ice if you're in them.
Lol I actually figured this out in I guess a dungeon or a cave. An "elevator" would go up and down through blasting frost but there were some pots conveniently next to it lol

The moving and stacking tables, so simple and game changing. Pretty much everything in this video is new to me, going to enjoy my next gaming session.
here is another tip if you make a part 2: if you want to use a crawltula , but there is a body of water in the way; lay down a bed first, there is just enough room to summon and stand on it, allowing you to crawl up almost any wall in the game
I’m around 30-40 hours in towards a 100% playthrough… I’m realizing I haven’t been using bind and targeting not nearly enough 😂 Great informative vid! This game really is something special 💯
popping over from my xbox to my phone app to engage in the comment section because I found the smoothie montage amazing 😂❤
Two flying tiles, provided your tri is a high enogh level, can infinately staircase up any height infinately (until the height barrier) as long as you are fast enough to make sure the tiles dont crash into each other. Reccomended to use jump up accessory.
I’ve watched a few people playing who would have been well-served by knowing that first tip about pushing the objects to make stacking easier.
im one of those people lol
These are some really great tips. Thank you for putting this together. I had no idea you could change the view either to the top down.
I REALLY can’t wait to see the speedruns of this game.
Just finished this game a few mins ago and I didn't know 80% of this stuff lol.
really?? im only at a 2nd rift and i knew about most of them.
Finished a few hours ago. I discovered many, but now I’m surfing the tube to see creativity on a whole new level. Baba plants on those moving razors? Genius!
That’s what happens when you play for completion and not to enjoy the game
@@comixs-inc.7994maybe, just maybe, experiencing the game to completion was also enjoyable.
@@Timeforceletsgo never said it wasn't
I’ve only played for an hour or two at the moment because of work, but I’ve really enjoyed it so far.
Fun gimmick I figured out; Platbooms will always go a bit above where they were spawned on their way back up.
Using them one after another can gain you some serious height, very quickly! Its especially useful for when there are no walls to crawltula on.
When I caught a Platboom I knew it was going to be a game changer. Messing around when I could summon two, I skipped the whoooooole "climb Hebra mountain" segment accidentally. Loved doing that, but I still went through to the caves to see if I missed anything.
You can create infinite elevators with two of them and the correct timing.
You’ve just blown my mind a bit. Funny and creative ideas that I never would have thought of. Thanks!
the playability of this game is just incredible! Great video too, thanks for this!
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess wisdom really was key.
The real wisdom was the friends we made along the way
Not so much the wisdom, but more the echoes of said wisdom
7:21 WOAH
And I felt smart using the armadillo 😅
You can get a nice volley going with those if you plunk it on a straightaway between the enemy and Zelda.
@@sharondornhoff7563 nice! I learned that you can also use these to make the 3rd Mango game muuuch easier
I didn't bind myself to it, I summoned, then immediately jumped on it and was off like a cat on a roomba.
The music in this game is absolutely incredible.
Especially adding zelds's lullaby into the overworld theme after getting uncloaked. I shead a tear.
I learned about the Bed resting by accident when I got the 2nd bed ability from Gerudo Town and hit A Button by mistake. It's such a great feature that I almost wish all Zelda games had that ability even if they nerfed it in future Zelda games to use a tent outside or something. I didn't know you could latch onto flying enemies either and proves I need to experiment with the X button or Bind more often. All really good tips! 😎
Nice tips definitely using some, I love these creative powers in the new zelda games, so far loving echoes
Here's mine: fire octorocks are weak, even with numbers, but they're immune to fire projectiles. There are 3 bosses that use fire projectiles and can tank/aggro the fires for you.
This was the 1st zelda game I've played and completed! Really enjoyed this I'm already waiting on my Links Awakening copy.
If you use a water cube off of a ledge but while on the front edge of the screen inside a room (against the invisible wall that you are looking through), you can make a traveling continuous path of water blocks to swim through that can span any size gap. The first block must touch a ledge to build off from and MUST be against the invisible wall in a room/dungeon on the front edge of the screen. Then future blocks build off your prior water blocks. As you use up your summons triangles, eventually you will de-spawn your first water block that touches the initial land edge... but the entire span doesn't break because the blocks are still touching the invisible wall/collider at the front edge of the screen. Just keep moving forward, spawning more blocks in front of you as the blocks at the end de-spawn. It looks as if your water bridge is floating since it is not touching any land... but it is really touching the invisible wall/collider that the player is looking through. Hopefully this description makes sense. Try it out!
Im all about that smoothie beat! ❤

That’s what i really love about the game. Most of the things you showed i discovered by myself and that were great moments and led to other ideas and inspirations.
If you head north and slightly east from Hyrule Ranch after finishing "Still Missing", you'll find Dampe yelling at a crow - defeat it and meet him at his house, and with the right combo of Echoes and Items, he'll craft Automatons you can deploy like echoes that are separate from Echoes themselves (including big explosions, rapid-fire rocks, music performance, half-screen sword swings, money-birds and trash compactors). You have to wind them up, and they can be damaged and need repairs, but they can be used WITH Echoes, and they're also powerful alone.
personally found him just above lake hylia, around the mound that was link's house in aLttP and LBW, but havent done enough playthroughs to know exactly how his spawning works.
So many great tips in this video! Now that I am playing the game again, I can’t remember them all. 😂
I love that you can stack the octoroks. That’s so funny!
just note the aquatic functions of the relevant ones are disabled if the stack exceeds 2...
I believe I am almost to the end on my first playthrough, and oh my goodness, so many uses for Bind that didn't occur to me! Great vid.
I have finished the game, and spent most fights spamming crows as soon as I got them. The crows chasing after rupees was a bit annoying, but the mobbing of so many at once proved very effective in most fights (except against electric enemies - had to use ranged summons for those)
Spear guys lol
I just cleared the fourth dungeon, and I love how there isn't necessarily one solution to every puzzle. Definitely one of my top Zelda games I've played.
I will absolutely have to try the "drown them in a water block" method, though. It shame most of these strategies probably don't work on the Lynel, though...not that you'd be able to even use him where I am in the game, due to costing 6 units of wand energy.
only cause the lynel is immune to bind
well, as a friend the lynel drowns... so if you can somehow engineer a machine to get 'em into the water block without destroying it...
@@cullenlatham2366 Chain of Ribbitunes.
The lynel is pretty easy with the level 3 sword moblin though tbh. I just targeted the lynel, spawned the moblin and immediately after the attack spawned a new one. Do that a couple of times and voila
@@Eagle_Owl2 sure, if you have 5+ summon slots to work with... i did it with lvl2s, running for the hills as i place them behind me enough to distract the lynel, blocking just enough hits to make a net positive progress.
TotK Link: I torture Koroks for breakfast.
EoW Zelda: Hold my Golden Smoothie
Thank you for this video! My partner and I laughed so hard at your side comments. 😂 I got this for Christmas and I appreciate all the new ideas!
This is in my #3 favorite zelda (after skyward sword and twilight princess). I have almost 9 hours in just 2 days... and i dont get tired, it is very creative
Thank you for this tips video on Zelda Echoes of Wisdom. It looks adorable and fun.
This video is a MUST-watch!
the fact that you can hop into pots is one of the first things I found out- even before meeting Tri. there’s this one villager house with pots in it, and I jokingly jumped at one. low and behold, I can get into pots. so glad I found that out before having to sneak past the guards after getting captured!
I'd like to add a tip for beds (especially the low tier) if you lay down, heal, stand back up, lay down again and heal again, it's significantly faster than just laying in the bed for the T1 and T2 beds. This allows for faster healing in hero mode especially and should be helpful for people who need health fast.
Thank you Alex you just made my gaming experience that much more fun!!
The one eyed yellow platform echo is great for going verticle too, to get on top of trees or high areas. Also the strandtula is great for making rope bridges in the 2d areas.
Some really great tips in this video. Thank you. I've been loving this game
Thanks
I'm about to start the second dungeon......I love it thus far!!!
I'm loving this game so far. I knew there were things I haven't discovered but this list is bonkers! So good. 👍👍
Haven't finished it yet, but I am really enjoying the idea of using the in-game monsters as a toolbox for gameplay and puzzle solving.
One of my cleverest moments happened while I was working on the Zora rift. Got chased by a Chompfin, but managed to lure it next to the boat in Zora Cove, and then I stood on the boat and spammed Urchins on his head til he died. That Chompfin is my favorite underwater attacker now, lol.
I discovered bombfish are the chompfin’s greatest weakness.
@@cathygrandstaff1957 Didn't know that!
Also, I didn't have bombfish at the time, so. . .
theres an underwater cave in faron with a lvl3 lizalfos in it, chompfin works wonders to kill it
got it long before had enough tris to summon it lol
That top-down view is huge! Thanks!
Mobin: You’ve drowned me.
Zelda: Good.
You can summon water cubes against walls to swim up the wall and the summon cubes to move forward. This can let you swim along the wall to travel over obstacles, gaps, or do “stealth” missions a bit more easily.
Great list & content. I'm about 3 hours in and really like the idea of a different style of Zelda game. I'm not all that creative but enjoy trying new things. I'm looking forward to trying out the water block trick. So sadistic!
You can also bind onto enemies. Since they always come toward you, you can travel infinite distances. Try binding a enemy keese inside a cave to cross a giant gap and you'll see what I mean
I am absolutely IN LOVE with this game! To finally have a lizalfos and wolfos at my side in a zelda game feels surreal! And I love the open-ended puzzle solutions!!!!
if you wear link’s hood and travel with a wolfos you’re basically living out an AU twilight princess where midna doesn’t exist
@@carols.8103 That's exactly what I have been doing! It's just phenomenal!
Game of the year for me! I want so so much more. Thank you for this video, I 100%d the game but learned something new! Didn't realize the rt analog stick made it top down!
Also that smoothie song on Spotify when?
I’ve been introducing my daughter to Zelda over this last year (she is 7 now) and this is her first solo Zelda game. She is loving it and I honestly have been borrowing it after she is in bed because the creativity makes it super fun to play. It’s like Tears of the Kingdom meets Link’s Awakening.
That pushing tables trick is even more game-changing thinking about beds.
1) Spawn a bed and jump on it
2) Spawn a second bed that’s 1/2 on the first bed
3) Push the second bed so it’s only 1/4 on the first bed
4) Repeat to reach a way further distance away
I don't use bind nearly enough these were super useful and fun! I'm definitely gonna try these and also drowning enemies in the water cube is hilarious 😂
Man I have not been taking advantage of the follow feature at all. The spinner and spider ideas are genious.
Awesome tips video! 👏 Especially with the spiders! I was wondering how to get that chest way way waaay up on top of that rock wall in a cave 🤔 well now I know lol 😂
My favorite move is a lvl 3 Darknut bind, they usually do a spin attack with their axe, and it is awesomely powerful against many enemies and bosses, with the minor downside being it isn't a constant attack. My other favorite move is spamming sea urchins, but it isn't the strongest option sometimes.
I loved the game. 100%ed it as far as I can tell.
There were like 3 tips here I didn’t know or barely used (it would have been so helpful to remove shields! 😫). Fascinating to think how everybody’s most used list will be different. I used SO many Platbooms for mobility and Lizalfos 3 for combat.
Absolutely love the game with the exception of the making of smoothies, I hope they make mass smoothie making in any update 😁
I liked spamming the water blocks to make my own ladders either across or up ledges. Sadly they're fragile and break if an enemy hits the block, and they have to be touching something like the ground or walls to appear.
I wish I knew about the crawling spider trick but I never really thought to use the follow trick a lot. Not that I used the horse either, much less follow on a fast moving mob monster haha.
Here's another trick: spam summon Wizrobes. Each time they're summoned they immediately attack, but take a while to do so again as they hover, teleport, then attack. Summoning a new one will get rid of the other but it's essentially making them teleport on command and having them at full health each time. It's a late game trick though as they're available at mid to late game, but hope that helps!
Oh, you just solved a problem I couldn’t wrap my head around. Thank you! Great tips.
These tips are lethal. Thank you!!
I’m really enjoying it. A nice break from the last two
Smoothie manufacturing song is a BOP 🕺
Imagine ECHO ITEM STACK BIND is part of zelda's magic? Thay would be awesome
The thwomps rise a certain height from where you spawn them so if you make a new one from atop the first one you can make an elevator to go up any wall you want. They also clear of wall crawling enemies for you in a jiffy.
Thanks for this, I never thought of most of these things. This game is so fun. 🥰
Oh wow! These tips are absolutely fantastic!
Thanks so much!
- Cheers!
Flying tile is a great distraction tool in stealth missions. Also great for hopping the gaps between tall objects (ie shelves) so you can get to the objective sooner.
I just beat it yesterday. Now I'm replaying it on Hard Mode, doing a 3 Heart Run. The battle with Ganon at the beginning as Link, one hit with his spear basically nearly 1-shots you (with the max hearts you start off with). I was like Damn! I know fairies and smoothies are going to come in clutch during this run.
The spider is for me the most helpful 😎
But the other are also great to know 👍
Thank you for your video 🙏
Greetings from Germany 👋
Definitely learned a few things here, thanks for the tips
I am loving this game so far! Having a hard time putting it down!
