Zelda: What Happens If You Get All Echoes In Echoes Of Wisdom

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom remixes the series in multiple ways, not the least of which is its unique “copy-and-paste” echoes mechanic, which allows Zelda to replicate objects and enemies for her own use. With 127 echoes to collect in total, however, it’s likely that many players will be able to beat Echoes of Wisdom well before collecting everything the game has to offer – even if there might be a special reward for completionists.

Developed in partnership with Grezzo, which previously worked on the 2019 remake of Link’s Awakening, Echoes of Wisdom is the first game in the Zelda series to actually star Princess Zelda as its main playable character (not counting the CD-i game The Wand of Gamelon). As a result of the change in characters, however, Echoes of Wisdom‘s main gameplay loop heavily differs from standard Zelda games as well – instead of a sword and shield, Zelda instead relies on her magical Tri Rod to create “echoes” of objects and enemies, which assist her in traversal and combat.

There’s No Reward For Collecting Every Echo In Echoes Of Wisdom

Sadly for completionists, however, there’s no special reward for collecting all 127 echoes in Echoes of Wisdom, aside from the satisfaction of simply having every echo at Zelda’s disposal. While learning echoes does fill out an in-game notebook, where each echo has its own entry, notebook descriptions are minimal, and the game doesn’t offer any sort of item for players who go out of their way to find every echo in the game.

Why There’s No Reward For A Complete Echo Collection In EOW

Echoes Of Wisdom Follows Zelda Tradition By Not Encouraging 100% Completion

While the lack of reward might be disappointing for some players, it’s fairly normal for Zelda games to offer minimal rewards (or none at all) for 100% completion – especially when collecting items that serve important gameplay purposes anyway. Collecting every available Heart Container in a Zelda game, for example, usually carries no other reward besides giving players the maximum amount of health possible, and likewise, collecting every echo in Echoes of Wisdom gives players a versatile toolset, but nothing extra on top of that.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Review – The Zelda I Was Waiting For

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom combines the freedom of recent titles with the structure of classic games, and it’s absolutely worth playing.

Like other Zelda games, beating Echoes of Wisdom only requires players to do a fraction of the content that’s actually available in-game, allowing a smooth progression through the game’s main content while still leaving plenty of extra things for completionists to look for. So, while there are 127 echoes in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, players don’t need to seek all of them out unless they’re looking to 100% the game for their own satisfaction.

Strange rifts are tearing Hyrule apart, and with Link missing, it’s up to Princess Zelda to save the kingdom. Armed with the Tri Rod and aided by a mysterious fairy, she must solve puzzles, create environmental “echoes,” and battle enemies while navigating new regions and uncovering hidden secrets.
