TheBowis a staple in pretty much every majorZeldagame, but forEchoes of Wisdom, it’s actually not used as much as you would think. This is because the Bow, once acquired, can only be used if Zelda is in herSwordfighterform. This means you will not always have access to the tool, but if youupgrade your form at Lueburry’s house, unlocked after clearing the first major rift, you can last longer in the form.
How to Get the Bow in Echoes of Wisdom
The only way to get the Bow in Echoes of Wisdom is during the main story quest,A Rift in the Gerudo Desert, which is also part of the overarching storyline of the ‘Searching for Everyone’quest. Once you reach the Gerudo Desert and complete the objectives, you will eventually face the final challenge: theGerudo Sanctumdungeon.
In the first part of the dungeon, you will have toface off against Shadow Link, but this time, he has abowto shoot arrows at you with. In order to get the bow for yourself, you just need to beat Link in this dungeon. He will drop the bow upon his defeat.
