In The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Zelda harnesses the power of the Tri Rod and Echoes to combat her foes; she also has the ability to unlock the Swordfighter Form for engaging in direct combat. But how do you go about unlocking this form?
Unlocking Swordfighter Form
The Swordfighter Form can be unlocked early in the game by defeating Shadow Link within the Suthorn Ruins Dungeon. This encounter is part of the main quest titled “The Mysterious Rifts,” where Shadow Link challenges Zelda to a duel. The key challenge is that Shadow Link deflects all frontal attacks. To overcome him, players need to utilize Echoes to distract him before striking from behind.
Once you successfully defeat Shadow Link, you’ll need to pick up the sword to unlock the Swordfighter Form for Zelda. To mimic Link’s combat style, press up on the D-Pad while ensuring you have enough Energy.
Zelda reverts to her normal form when the Energy gauge depletes. However, players can replenish this gauge by gathering blue items in the Still World, consuming Smoothies such as the Milky Sweet Smoothie or Salted Milky Smoothie, and defeating enemies within the Rifts.
