Here’s a closer look at ‘Echoes’ in the new Zelda game on Switch

Since last week’s Nintendo Direct, the company’s social media pages have been in a frenzy promoting all the new and upcoming releases. As usual, these same pages have also been detailing some of the finer points of each game, and in a recent update Nintendo shared a graphic of some of the elements that Zelda will be taking advantage of in its new outing, Echoes of Wisdom.

In case you missed the original announcement, “Echoes” are imitations of things that Zelda can find within the game environment. She is able to do this with the help of the “Tri Rod” and her mysterious new imaginary friend Tri.

“Create echoes like water blocks to reach new heights, make bridges out of old beds, throw rocks at enemies, or find your own creative combination of echoes to do things your way. You can even create echoes of monsters to fight alongside you in combat!”

“There are so many Echoes to discover in The Legend of #Zelda: #EchoesofWisdom, and how you use them to solve puzzles and fight enemies is entirely up to you!”

Some other Echoes spotted in the AD include boxes, beds, trees, sign posts, and trampolines and you can also summon Echoes based on enemies. You can also use these echoes to reach new heights, fly, fight underwater, and much more!
