In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom Prologue Walkthrough, we’re following the start of Zelda’s story. In this part of the story, you play as Link, fight Ganon, and escape a prison. Continue on to learn more about each part of the Prologue.
Playing as Link In Zelda Echoes Of Wisdom Prologue
The very beginning of the Prologue has you playing as the franchise’s usual protagonist- Link. He has 20 hearts, so any battle you come across is super simple. This part of the game is meant to teach you how to use a sword in combat while navigating the dungeon and learning how to jump. You’ll come across various types of enemies, such as Darknuts and Keese.
After fighting the Keese, you have to jump over broken debris to reach the next door. In the next room, you have to fight both Keese and Darknuts.
Prologue Boss Fight
In the next room, you’ll face the boss named Ganon, who has taken Princess Zelda prisoner. For an early-game boss, Ganon can be difficult but Link has a lot of skills up his sleeve. You can use your sword, bow, and bombs to fight.
Ganon has a teleporting attack and he always reappears somewhere nearby. He’ll lunge at you with his spear, which will take away 3 of your 20 hearts if you’re hit. After a few hits, he sends orbs flying at you, which your shield can block. The orbs will bounce off, and you can use them against Ganon.
Freeing Zelda In Prologue Walkthrough
Once you beat Ganon, Zelda is freed but Link ends up trapped in a rift. As Zelda, you start off weaponless with only three hearts. Follow the yellow wisp. It will lead you to the Swordsman’s Cloak. After this, you have to run from the rift.
Once you escape, two guards will take you to Hyrule Castle. After a cutscene and some exploring, head back to talk to the king to progress the story.
Escaping Prison In Zelda Echoes Of Wisdom Prologue
Here, Zelda will once again be imprisoned after a rift swallows the king. The yellow wisp called Tri will appear and help Zelda escape. Tri creates a tool called the Tri Rod which can create Echoes of objects.
Use the Tri Rod to create an echo of the table and place it by the broken wall to escape. For the next part, you have to use the echoes to outmaneuver the patrolling guards. In this area, you can also make echoes of a Wooden Box, Hyrule Castle Pots, Decorative Scrubs, and more.
Eventually, you’ll come across the Royal-Family Shortcut. Here, a rift will chase you into the river and take you away from the castle.
