How to beat Princess Zelda Echo in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom
Echo Zelda really only has one attack throughout the entire fight: it involves transforming into rift energy and launching herself into space, then reappearing and summoning more echoes to attack you. To deal with these enemies, you can enter Swordfighter form to attack them and summon your own Echoes to help you.
The Echo Zelda will also be floating in the air at this point and you can jump then throw your sword at it to land a few damaging attacks.
Once you have dealt enough damage to Echo Zelda, she will be pinned to the ground for a brief moment. This is when you need to enter Swordfighter form and attack the downed evil Zelda as many times as you can. However, she will eventually regenerate, so keep an eye on her to get her moving again.
Phase two
Echo Zelda will recycle the same attack she used in the first phase, but this time it is much faster and the echoes she creates will be more aggressive than the ones she used previously.
As you did before, use your own Echoes to distract and confront the evil ones while you attack Echo Zelda floating in Swordfighter form. The Mighty Bow is particularly useful here because the floating Zelda moves quite quickly at this point.
Again, when you’ve dealt enough damage to Echo Zelda, she will be down for a few seconds. At this point, make sure you’re in Swordfighter form and attack her, although having a high-level Echo on your side will also be helpful here.
Phase three
Now, Echo Zelda is really not happy with you – sorry, but you’re almost at the end.
Echo Zelda will float in the air again and use the same attack as before, but it will be much faster than the other two phases. Additionally, the echoes she creates will be larger and more powerful than before, but the same rules apply: use your own echoes to distract them while you focus on attacking the floating Zelda.
Once you’ve landed enough attacks on the floating Zelda, she’ll be grounded again – attack this imposter one last time and you’ll have finally defeated her! After all, there’s only room for one Zelda (if you ignore every other Legend of Zelda game in existence).
When she’s gone, go see Link and attack the crystal he’s in using the Mighty Bow to free your swordsman!
