The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom‘s Overworld is far from the largest the series has seen, but it’s still a sizable landmass that’ll take some time to map out completely. Luckily, you can unlock a handy-dandy fast-travel system that will hasten your quest to seal the rifts to the Still World.
Echoes of Wisdom’s Fast Travel is easy to unlock and even easier to use
You won’t have to wait too long to uncover Echoes of Wisdom’s fast-travel system. The game subtly points you down the path you need to go to unlock it, and it takes time to ensure you understand how useful it is. Of course, if you’re rushing to get your first dungeon or scope out some fun side-quests, you might breeze by the fast-travel tutorial.
To unlock fast travel, head east along the base after you’ve escaped Hyrule Castle, spelunk your way through Beach Cave, and finally stop by Suthorn Town. Instead of heading north to the Suthorn Temple, keep going east until you find a green, glowing statue. This is the first of many Waypoints you’ll find on your travels across Hyrule.
Once you’re close enough to the statue, Tri will explain what it is and how to activate it. To activate the Waypoint, walk up to it and hit the “RZ” trigger, like when you learn a new Echo. Once you’ve lit the Waypoint, you can activate it anytime by opening the map with the “-” button.
Before you wander into the unknown, remember that the first waypoint you find is the only one the game highlights for you. From here on out, you’ll have to keep your eyes open and take the time to activate every Waypoint you stumble across. Trust me, you’ll need them once the side quests start piling up.
