01

Escape and Suthorn Ruins

0 / 3 steps

Learn what Tri can do.

Route and puzzle solutions

  1. Copy tables, boxes and beds while escaping the castle. Build short, stable stairways to pass the guards and reach the Suthorn region.

  2. Rescue Tri's friends in the rift, then enter Suthorn Ruins. Use Bind to move heavy obstacles and attack the Link impostor from an unguarded direction to obtain Swordfighter Form.

  3. Against Seismic Talus, pull the glowing orb out with Bind and attack it. Repeat as the orb changes position, moving away from the boss's slams.

A useful detail

Let combat echoes occupy enemies while you move to safety.

02

Gerudo Desert

0 / 3 steps

Earn access to the sanctum.

Route and puzzle solutions

  1. Help Dohna and resolve the smaller desert rifts. In Cryptic Cavern, operate the mechanism that drains the sand blocking the sanctum route.

  2. Learn the required statue echoes and use the dungeon's clues to choose them. Holmill can dig through suitable ground, opening routes that climbing echoes cannot.

  3. Obtain the Bow from the Link impostor. During Mogryph's charge, place a statue in its path to make it collide, then attack while it is stunned.

Chapter references

Checkpoints

A useful detail

Read the statue clues before placing copies.

03

Jabul Waters

0 / 3 steps

Reunite the Zora communities.

Route and puzzle solutions

  1. Help both Zora communities and reunite Dradd and Kushara. Defeat the Jabu-Jabu impostor, then cross the rift into the ruins.

  2. Activate the five coloured switches to raise the central water column. Explore the side branches and use aquatic echoes for underwater enemies and obstacles.

  3. Break Vocavor's back growths while avoiding its whirlpools. Attack the exposed weak point after it collapses and return to breathing space when necessary.

Chapter references

Checkpoints

A useful detail

Water Blocks provide climbing and swimming routes.

04

Hyrule Castle's rift

0 / 3 steps

Rescue the king.

Route and puzzle solutions

  1. Return to Hyrule Castle Town after completing the Gerudo and Jabul regions. Enter the rift and move around the guards' sightlines.

  2. Use echoes on switches and torches to open the castle's branches. Bind can reposition obstacles while a summoned creature handles nearby enemies.

  3. Against the Ganon echo, evade the spear and fire bats. Return the energy ball with timed sword swings or use safe recovery windows for strong echoes to attack.

Chapter references

Checkpoints

A useful detail

Save Swordfighter energy for a clear opening instead of leaving the form active.

05

Eldin Volcano

0 / 3 steps

Receive Din's Sanction.

Route and puzzle solutions

  1. Help Darston resolve the Gorons' problems, then follow the volcano route. Use heat-resistant traversal echoes and avoid placing flammable objects over lava.

  2. Defeat the bomb-using Link impostor and obtain the new weapon. Clear cracked barriers and combine moving lava platforms with climbing echoes.

  3. Pull Volvagia's green necklace with Bind to stun it. Attack during the opening, then move to a safe platform before the dragon erupts elsewhere.

Chapter references

Checkpoints

A useful detail

Keep a flying echo available for lava crossings.

06

Faron Wetlands

0 / 3 steps

Receive Farore's Sanction.

Route and puzzle solutions

  1. Investigate the cotton-candy problem and escape the Deku Scrub prison. Follow the restored route into the Faron rift.

  2. The temple has several entrances. Find the hidden ladder in the grass and use electric echoes to activate groups of crystals before their charge fades.

  3. Electrify Gohma's leg crystals to bring it down. Attack the exposed eye, then prepare another electrical opening while avoiding its webs and summoned enemies.

Chapter references

Checkpoints

A useful detail

Keep electric attacks away from water you are standing in.

07

Hebra and Lanayru Temple

0 / 3 steps

Receive Nayru's Sanction.

Route and puzzle solutions

  1. Climb Hebra with Condé's guidance and prepare cold protection. Use fire echoes to clear ice and stable objects to block damaging wind.

  2. Carry the temple's temperature orbs with Bind and place them on the correct pedestals. Block air vents before transporting an orb that must remain hot or cold.

  3. Use fire against Skorchill's icy helmet and ice against the fiery one. Attack the body once the helmet breaks, then adapt when its protection changes.

Chapter references

Checkpoints

A useful detail

A warmed room can hide a key underwater that was inaccessible beneath ice.

08

The Eternal Forest

0 / 3 steps

Find Link.

Route and puzzle solutions

  1. After receiving all three goddess sanctions, enter the Eternal Forest and find the Ancient Orb. Learn its echo before searching for the other pedestals.

  2. Use the triangular arrangement as a map clue and place an orb on each of the six pedestals. Follow the opened route into the stilled ruins.

  3. Defeat the Zelda impostor by managing its summoned enemies and creating openings for your own attacks. Rescue the hero Link and prepare for the final cooperative section.

Chapter references

Checkpoints

A useful detail

Prepare before returning Link's weapons; Zelda then loses Swordfighter Form.

09

Null's Body

0 / 3 steps

Fight alongside Link.

Route and puzzle solutions

  1. Return Link's weapons and enter Null's body together. Zelda's role shifts to movement, echoes and Bind while Link performs the direct sword attacks.

  2. Create routes for Link and use Bind to pull obstacles or appendages into reach. When separated, use aquatic echoes and careful traversal to reach the reunion.

  3. Pull Null's arms outward so Link can cut them. Clear summoned enemies, repeat through the changing arena and help Tri remove the exposed final core.

Chapter references

Checkpoints

A useful detail

Keep replacing combat echoes when they disappear; Zelda's role remains active throughout.

Collection field guide

Plan your final discoveries.

Use these routes alongside the edition-specific counters. The references link to individual locations and additional maps.

Echoes, hearts and regional errands

  1. Learn an echo when you first defeat or discover its source; seeing a creature is not enough. Use the echo list to identify missing regional species and objects.

  2. Revisit cliffs, caves and rifts after Tri gains capacity. Combine heart hunting with regional side quests and stamp stands to reduce repeated travel.

  3. After the ending, use the available completion information to locate missing echoes. Continue tracking Might Crystals, hearts and stamps as separate objectives.

Chapter references

Equipment, smoothies and challenges

  1. Collect Fairy Bottles and expand accessory capacity through the Great Fairy. Equip bonuses that suit the route rather than leaving every slot on combat effects.

  2. Record smoothie recipes as you discover them and prepare the resistance needed for each region. A useful recipe can solve an environmental obstacle without a new outfit.

  3. Return to the Slumber Dojo with a broader echo collection for its timed challenges. Complete Dampé's automaton requests and the optional minigame rewards separately from the main ending.

One checklist edition is documented here. Ports with the same collection targets share this column; this does not claim that every release is identical.

These are checklist targets, not an overall completion percentage. “Not included” means the goal is absent from that checklist. Hardware-dependent extras and additional runs are listed below.
