Echoes of Wisdom: How to Get the Bow

The Bow is a staple in pretty much every major Zelda game, but for Echoes 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 her Swordfighter form. This means you will not always have access to the tool, but if you upgrade 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: the Gerudo Sanctum dungeon.

In the first part of the dungeon, you will have to face off against Shadow Link, but this time, he has a bow to 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.

How to Use the Bow in Echoes of Wisdom

Right when Zelda picks up Shadow Link's Bow of Might, you'll learn that you can only use it in Swordfighter form (up button on the d-pad). Once you're in the form, you can press X to shoot arrows at baddies and switches.

How to Upgrade the Bow in Echoes of Wisdom

Once you get through a good chunk of the intro, you'll learn about Lueburry; visiting him with Might Crystals will let you upgrade your Swordfighter form, like its Energy Gauge and attack power. You can also upgrade your Bow here (and Bombs later).
