Echoes of Wisdom: How to Get the Bow

by

As someone who has spent countless hours traversing the mystical lands of Hyrule, I can attest that the Bow in Echoes of Wisdom is a unique addition to the Zelda series. While it may not be as ubiquitous as in other games, its strategic use and the thrill of acquiring it make it all worthwhile.

In most significant Zelda games, the Bow is a common item, however, it’s employed less frequently in Echoes of Wisdom compared to expectations. This is due to the fact that once obtained, the Bow can only be utilized when Zelda is in her Swordfighter form. Consequently, access to this tool isn’t guaranteed at all times, but if you enhance your form at Lueberry’s residence, which becomes accessible after completing the first major rift, you can sustain longer periods in that form.

How to Get the Bow in Echoes of Wisdom

In the game Echoes of Wisdom, you can obtain the Bow exclusively through the main story quest named “A Rift in the Gerudo Desert“, which is intertwined with the larger questline ‘Searching for Everyone‘. As you progress and eventually reach the Gerudo Desert, completing the required tasks will lead you to the climactic encounter: the Gerudo Sanctum dungeon.

At the beginning of the dungeon, you’ll encounter Shadow Link who is now armed with a bow capable of firing arrows. To obtain it, you must first defeat him in the dungeon. Upon his defeat, he will drop the bow for your possession.

How to Use the Bow in Echoes of Wisdom

As soon as Zelda grabs Shadow Link’s Powerful Bow, you’ll discover that it can only be utilized when transformed into Swordfighter form (pressing the up button on the d-pad). In this form, you can press X to fire arrows at enemies and switches.

How to Upgrade the Bow in Echoes of Wisdom

After making your way past the initial part, you’ll discover details about Lueberry. By bringing Might Crystals with you, you’ll be able to enhance your Swordfighter form, boosting both its Energy Gauge and attack strength. Additionally, you can improve your Bow here (and later upgrade your Bombs).
