The Legend of Zelda series has brought fans tons of excitement! And Echoes of Wisdom has something to offer, especially those who have played a bunch of these games, some Easter eggs are tucked away, offering those with keen eyes some special treats. But the game isn't just references, and may leave many wondering about these hints that could change everything we've come to know!
Link's House
One of the most interesting, hidden areas! You may want to explore this, however. This area appears fairly early on! Zelda will find Link's house in Suthorn Forest. It's not directly part of any quests but helps provide a new perspective about Link, that the villagers believe has either died or went missing in a rift! This sheds some light about this incredible hero who appears in these Zelda games!
Goddess Hylia
One of the best hints about these games is something most might not notice. A statue dedicated to Hylia! A dedicated YouTuber called AbsurdZeldaTheories, made sure to note that the Goddess Hylia statue in Echoes of Wisdom shows a possible connection to previous titles such as Breath of the Wild (also known as BOTW) and Tears of the Kingdom (known as TOTK)! The statue is similar to its versions in other games but what makes it special is its role! Since Zelda may actually be Hylia reborn, It doesn't make the storyline. But helps bring together several pieces in this story.
Impa Returns
Another remarkable moment that many Zelda fans might not notice. This is a truly epic return of an incredible, unforgettable character!
When Zelda gets to the lower levels of Hyrule Castle! We find Impa!
She hasn't aged a bit, and this dedicated Sheikah warrior has come to help Zelda! In previous Zelda titles, this was more than just her helping! She always showed up beside Zelda ready for some serious battles, and here's another great scene that continues the legacy! Impa, known for appearing in previous Zelda series and her iconic roles like Ocarina of Time (often called OOT) and Skyward Sword appears here once again! Even more special! In Echoes of Wisdom Impa might be older. The Sheikah is ready for a fight if need be!
Kakariko Village
Kakariko Village, featured in previous Zelda adventures and its importance particularly shines in OOT, was another landmark to watch out for!
This location and the area have all the major hallmarks. For this village! Kakariko Village even includes the windmill and graveyard!
- What's also interesting is that there's also the well, but this time. It's all covered up! No big reason for it being blocked up as far as anyone could find, giving players a hint!
This might be an easter egg and you'll have a fun time checking it out but may end up not finding that much inside.
Spirits From Ocarina of Time
For those who are already Zelda experts! If you watch closely AbsurdZeldaTheories gave another one of those insightful points about the big screen Zelda adventure. Ocarina of Time, and these spirits, show up once again!
- The Great Deku Tree
- Volvagia
- And Jabu-Jabu are shown. Not only do they appear, but they watch over those that honor them and that made some theories start forming up!
For fans of these legendary Zelda characters! It makes this quite a treat! Even more. Is the potential that Echoes of Wisdom might be linked to the events of OOT in some manner and some theorists suggest that Echoes of Wisdom may even be set before OOT.
Zelda's Mom
Many Zelda fans might think there are tons of things that occur! What might leave these viewers surprised? This YouTuber called Zeltik points to a unique set of paintings that appear near Zelda's father! They’re so subtle, and easy to miss!
For many fans! There has been one missing piece. If there's a member from Zelda's family in these Zelda series it usually is the father or king and this would appear to show that there are depictions of the mother too, potentially hinting she's already died. This also gives an idea as to what Zelda's mother might have looked like.
Zelda's Signposts
Zeltik highlights a quirky and delightful surprise about how unique these signposts are and even funnier is Zeltik notes that the signposts are totally flammable!
This would seem like a missed point if you're playing but doesn't bring any story!
What does make these stand out even more! Each time you pick up a signpost! You get this quirky moment and some are humorous like one even gives the note: lying in bed might give Zelda's character a few more hearts!
Link's Trip To Terminia
One YouTuber called Zeltik discovered an incredibly intriguing possibility. When considering the concept of "rifts", one interesting observation in Echoes of Wisdom came about and gave many a big question!
- Link has some major challenges during "Majora's Mask"
It looks like in "Echoes of Wisdom," these rifts might be connecting worlds that change things for their travelers, and they are filled with many versions of individuals! It's possible then, that Termina could exist within a rift, which could help make the most unexpected of situations very possible!
Another compelling point for players that is that there is a sense that losing something, whether physical or emotional. It might end up changing someone. As Navi disappears, maybe there's this notion that the missing part of Link's character is truly about what might happen after being in such an alternate universe, leaving his world far behind.
The Creation Myth
Most of the Zelda stories begin with some story about how Hyrule began and how things got set up! However. In Echoes of Wisdom the version that's offered is one of the most extensive ones available for Zelda fans.
It actually looks pretty similar to the one in OOT, and along with that is some new food for thought, given this might even strengthen the suggestion that Echoes of Wisdom is somehow linked with OOT. Many gamers might like it just as an easter egg but it's not!
Link's Silence
Link is a silent character in so many titles!
If you dive deeper into BOTW, Link's silence may actually be his way of bearing burden. It also adds to his mystique.
The special, untold history comes from Echoes of Wisdom which gives us this story. In this special new adventure for Zelda we may learn that Link lost this gift. There could be an important clue as well and some wonder if he couldn't actually speak after getting to this "rift."
That is something that leaves players pondering how compelling this might actually be!
While Echoes of Wisdom looks like another amazing, intense story that players and Zelda fans will all get a chance to enjoy! A bunch of theories are out there and might only increase as these easter eggs and potential hints at storylines show up as Echoes of Wisdom. These could make a bigger splash and add to this story! Many dedicated fans might never fully appreciate that Echoes of Wisdom is actually linked up with so many of these titles! With an abundance of details and hints these mysteries, may just add more meaning for dedicated fans everywhere.
