300 IQ Puzzle Solutions in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom

We came up with quite a lot of alternative solutions to environmental puzzles that outline the deep sandbox nature of Echoes of Wisdom!

This is the best marketing this game could possibly get. "We've got these beautiful intricate puzzles you'll enjoy. Of you can break it if you want, and still succeed."

[BitterTast]

Would love a whole series on these! This game has so much creative potential.

To be honest, the Water Cube echo made my brain shrink.
_"Oh, a puzzle! How much Water Cubes do I need to "solve" it?"_

For #2, you can also just recall all your echos at once

[OtakuUnitedStudio]

You don't even need to take advantage of the Echo limit, just place the statues on the box and then use the dispell ability.

I used Armos for those double switches.

Was just recently thinking about how Ghinis weren’t really used and then this vid says “nope! You’re wrong!”

One very useful climbing tool besides water. The platboom (yellow one eyed platform)
I found out something special about it if you can make two or more. The platboom will always rise higher than where it is placed even in the air. Riding one up and placing another besides it will make the second one go higher. You can continue to do this until the sky resets you or you hit something.
In a rift however, you can reach the ceiling of the sky box.

You can also use this trick to get up to the snow mountain a lot faster than with water.

One useful 300 IQ move with the platboom is the goron race. The race does not penalize you for going backward here, so at the race start, immediately go backward and elevate your way up for a lead to the top and head to the finish line.

The best thing about modern Zelda is all the different ways you can solve a puzzle that I never imagined possible lol

2:10 well I see that someone here forgot that you can hold ZR to delete all your echoes

[waynemidnight]

Sorry, I used Crawltula most of the time, and didn't even consider Water Cube sometimes...

[mariomongar]

for the double switches, i used a pathblade for one of them and then syncronised my jump with it for the other switch

[ianlarsen]

3:39 Alternatively, if you do fall in, you can just warp right up to the waypoint at the entrance and still skip that section. That was what I did my first time.

These solutions are crazy creative! But it proves even further just how overpowered the water blocks and clouds are, haha.

[jonathantheyorkie]

For the faron woods one, you could also put rocks or blocks like you did, but instead of using echoes limit, you could hold zr and delete all echoes at once.

[Jormunguandr]

Nice when there's multiple ways to do things.

[mobgabriel]

"you know i could slog trought this map...

*OR I COULD JUST USE THE WARP STAFF* "

[SuperSenshi]

(3:41) I ended up using the flying floor tiles to get across

[devonm]

I saw someone skip Jabul Ruins. He didn't brute force it with Water Blocks, though. Instead he used a Flying Tile to cross the trap floor and a Crawltula to climb the dungeon.

[cdmcfall]

I explored the entire map with a crawltula, ignizol, and old bed before even entering the Gerudo or Zora rifts.

[MysticalTemptress]

I didn't even get past a minute and the first one floored me because I FORGOT the ghost ability! It'll be fun to see my friends go through it.
