A princess needs to know how to accessorize. This is especially true for Princess Zelda while adventuring through Hyrule in Echoes of Wisdom. Zelda can find a myriad of fun bobbles to adorn herself with, that all include special bonuses.
However, some are better than others, and since you’re limited to wearing five at a time max, you’ll need to pick the best ones. We’re here to help you choose by listing the five best accessories you can get in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom.
Top 5 accessories in Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
1. Frog Ring
Without a doubt, the Frog Ring is the top accessory in the game, and it’s not even close. This ring increases Zelda’s jump height significantly, making it easier to traverse terrain and solve puzzles quickly. This reduces the number of echoes you need to use since you’ll be able to jump up onto more things.
You can find this ring inside the Stilled Hyrule Castle dungeon, in the same room you’ll find the boss key. If you’re only going to go for one accessory the entire game, this is the one to get. Trust us, it’s worth it.
2. Heart Barrette
While the various beds provide a great respite for Princess Zelda to regain hearts on, they’re not really going to help in the middle of a big battle. Luckily, heart drops return in this title, but not that many. That’s what the Heart Barrette is for — it increases the number of hearts that drop when you break pots, cut grass, and more. Plus, it’s a very cute hair clip.
This barrette is an upgraded version of another accessory, the Heart Pin, that can be found earlier in the game. For the Heart Barrette, you’ll need to wait at least until you complete the Still Missing main quest. Then, you can complete the Beetle Ballyhoo side quest in Gerudo Town. You’ll get the Heart Barrette as a reward. It’s a pretty simple quest, and the accessory is well worth getting.
3. Zora’s Flippers
Not only is this accessory easy to get, but it’s also one of the most useful. You’ll be spending a fair amount of time in the water while saving Hyrule, and the Zora’s Flippers help greatly. These shoes increase Zelda’s swimming speed, so you can get where you need faster. This also helps when underwater, so you don’t run out of breath and drown.
The Zora’s Flippers are extremely easy to get, as you can purchase them at the shop in the River Zora Village for 350 Rupees. They’re available as soon as you walk into town, fairly early in the game, but you’ll find them useful for your entire playthrough.
4. Curious Charm
Another upgraded accessory, the Curious Charm is great if you find yourself not good at avoiding attacks. This special charm greatly reduces the damage Zelda takes whenever hit by an enemy. In a game where a single hit from a boss can knock you down at least five hearts, this is a must-have.
The Curious Charm is an upgraded version of the Ancient Charm, which is picked up when defeating Smog during the Let’s Play a Game quest. You can then head to the Faron Wetlands to complete the Cotton Candy Hunt side quest, which rewards you by upgrading your Ancient Charm to the Curious Charm.
5. Final Mastery
For our last pick, the Final Mastery is the highest level of scroll in the game available from the Slumber Dojo. This scroll slows down the energy loss while Zelda is in her swordfighter form, allowing her to stay in it for longer. The swordfighter form is the only way Zelda can attack enemies directly, and it’s remarkably useful for tough enemies. The Final Mastery accessory gives you much more power by being able to use it for longer.
In order to get a hold of it, you need to complete 14 training sessions in the Slumber Dojo found in Kakariko Village. As you complete more and more sessions, you’ll unlock the lower levels of this accessory, the First Mastery and Second Mastery as you complete more sessions. But, this last one is truly the one you should be aiming for.
