Top 15 WORST Echoes in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

Hey guys after my last video about Zelda echoes was pretty successful I decided I wanted to make another one but here looking at the flip side of things and focusing on the WORST that you can come across in the brand new The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.

What makes the Poe even worse is that its flames are as much of a hazard to you as it is to your enemies, so its really easy for the poe to be more of a threat to the player than it is to the enemy.

[@greencoconutcurry]

I’ve had my Poe set itself on fire 😂

[@jdgreeny]

THE CARROT?! It’s only use is for summoning ur horse which is good on its own.

[@zom8680]

Or for people like me who skipped the carrot couldn't figure out how to summon the horse

[@chrisquint3656]

@@zom8680I got to the carrot field but didn’t have my horse so couldn’t get the echo yet

[@MegaMikeStrike]

Strongly disagree on Ghini 😂 it can pass through walls and doors. I used it all the times to activate distanced switches or switches behind doors :)

[@matthewwilliams8244]

That’s like it’s only use. It’s fighting abilities are not good at all

[@FrostyBulborb]

@@matthewwilliams8244no duh it’s used for puzzles and not attacking

[@Snowman-xt1cd]

lol Sign is ironically the most broken item in speedrunning community right now. From a casual standpoint it’s literally the single worst in the game but now it’s being used to wrong warp to the final area right away. I really like the signs inclusion regardless; it’s charming and goofy in certain spots

[@AngryGnomeify]

The poe was one of the biggest let downs :C Was so excited when I learned Poe and then used it in the next room and I was like... breh

[@Duplucky5]

Ghini are interesting because they are immune to the screams of the Redead, which allows them to attack continuously while all others, including Zelda, are paralyzed. Gibdo is really interesting in closed places or areas seen from the side because they serve as walls that push the enemy into a corner before killing them. And the Redead are really interesting thanks to their screams that paralyze almost everything : you can use them to control the crowds to get yourself to safety or to set up a trap with for example a plant to make them devour and easily kill in one shot enemies particularly fast. So Gibdo lvl2 is really interesting because it combines these two interesting features. Poe is a good tank when he is able to aggro the enemies : it moves away from your position and through its flames, inflict damage on them in the passage. But the problem is that it must succeed to aggro and this is not especially easy and if you are on its path, its flames inflict heavy damage or even kill you a blow if you play in hero mode. And the beetle mound is really understimated! I mean yes, the beetle are slow and weak but ismply take one and throw it at an enemy so they can attack first. He goes tostunlock it to infinity, time that his two allies join him to slowly but surely devour all their enemies. Not only are they incredible but they offer a slow, painful and cruel death to all their enemies. Dragonfly should be in the top of the ranking. They are so slow to attack that they miss almost all their attacks. Even a zol is more effective than these things.

[@Shadow_King2467]

The worst echo in the game is the stuffed toy

[@lkjkhfggd]

Pretty awesome to see the comments showing players using most of these echos to some extent.

[@Tymoniska]

Couldnt disagree more with the awesome ghinji ghosts, ive used the lvl 2 one all the time, it can easily chesse alot of the dungeon puzzles where you have to hit something off screen and its just broken in 2d areas since the walls arent an issue for them

[@Copycat_YT]

I had them in my best echoes video then where I was recording it they literally didn’t even land a single lick and I got frustrated and demoted them 😭

[@seanrea550]

There could be 3 list sets, navigation, puzzle solving and combat.

[@Deadlock21]

The Ghini can Phase through walls and activate switches.i skipped whole cave's thanks zo them

[@NitsuaGamer]

I did find Gibdos useful in some situations where you summon it to freeze enemies in place while a superior echo enemy attacks your enemies. The Gibdo essentially makes it easier for other better echos.

[@youareacoward8459]

The ghosts are against FLYING critters, not ground critters.

[@scragar]

Others have defended the Ghini, but I feel the need to defend the Poe too. 1. It's flame drop works regardless of it's hight so if you just spawn it abive the enemies attack range it's invincible. 2. It can go through walls making it able to attack enemies who can't even see you. 3. If you use bind you can hold enemies in the flames for extra damage. 4. The Poe takes very little damage, meaning it's a good choice to distract enemies while you take a nap. They're far from anywhere near as bad as you made out IMO.

[@thomas19064]

Using Gibdo scream to stun Arrow Link and Bomb Link was my Strat for those battles and actually paid off big time. Situational though.

[@Faygris]

What about the teddy bear? It's even worse than the food echoes since it only attracts Ghinis, which you never need to do, in no situation imaginable

[@yakkattack]

All I know is in late game when in doubt LYNEL !!!!

[@zom8680]

Lynel + Link + Zelda 3v1 against THAT GUY was surreal

[@micahrobbins8353]

You can grab enemies with tri and put them into poe flames for a lot of damage in case anyone needed to know

[@UnwrittenSpade]

The ghost is good if you bind to the enemy holding it still lol

[@brucksz]

The statues are awful as well

[@DanBottiglieri]

I feel it's a bit unfair to include the Zol or the table as those are basically mandatory in early parts of the game (albeit I guess the Zol can be completely skipped if you just beeline for the rock echo to kill your first actually useful enemy but I bet a fair few of us didn't do that). I think my picks for echoes to replace them that I've had literally zero use for that you haven't mentioned are Tektites (which is odd as they're an annoying AF enemy) and the Gerudo and Hyrule castle pots (are they any different from the base pot?).

[@YoshKen]

This table slander is outrageous. For 2D platforming areas it saves space. I still can see why you’d say it’s bad but I don’t think it’s top 10.

[@scragar]

The problem is the trampoline costs the same but gives you extra height while the stone has the same dimensions but deals more damage when thrown. So it's not really good for anything. It's an early echo so it makes sense to replace it, but it's just not really better in any situation than another echo would be.

[@TheLeetCasualGamer]

Hard disagree on the Rope. It's a helpful way to deal damage early game. It moves in a committed direction where a monster is standing so it ends up being a free hit for a bound or the monster busy attacking another echo at the cost of one point

[@Copycat_YT]

Def fair, I got the peahat early so anything in comparison seemed bad lol

[@Pop_Shepski]

This is the kind of video not being made enough for this game

[@owenfautley]

You can use both the ribbitune and dripitune to defeat the lynel by luring it to hyrule castle moat where it will jump in after you where it will then drown.

[@gertjanvanbiesen4930]

Sorry but the crabs were my most used echo by far. It's the only echo that can attack instantly and is super spammable, if I ever needed instant damaged they were the go to. Especially in the 2d underwater sections

[@Yourtwistedtranssis]

Oh no. The Ghinni are pretty useful at skipping puzzles needing you to hit a switch at the end

[@mrcat3493]

The sand crab was useful against the end boss in the side scrolling water level, you could spam the shit out it to hit the tentacle things.

[@ChangedFigure]

Hard disagree for the redeads. They're useful for stunning enemies and allowing slower, powerful echoes to get in more hits. I teamed up a Redead and Darknut and they cleaned up enemies real good!

[@하돌이귀여웡123]

Umm..... no teddy bear on the list? what do they even do?!?

[@ez9566]

how dare you slender my waddeling clawed water critter like that?? I literally beat so many bosses with this one, ganon, fish dude, the mole. granted, there are other way better spinny thingies but... its one of my first I hold dear to my heart sorry, I couldnt resist the theatrical outrage, I also hate them BUT with more nostalgia

[@Ylurple]

signs are the most important item for speedruns

[@brianhunt6943]

Speedrunners enter the comments! Use the sign to break all the things!

[@Copycat_YT]

Next video will include this!

[@alysastuart7963]

I would agree with you on this 1 but the sand crabs just way too powerful

[@alysastuart7963]

Food is also good for quest But why would you include the carrot

[@KyleThompsonisthebest]

What about the teddy bear

[@ghb323]

The only real use for signs are for void out menu storage glitch.
