With Zelda in the lead role as The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom's main playable protagonist, the developers at Nintendo and Grezzo had to get creative with the game's take on combat. Early in the game, Zelda fights with Echoes, copies of the various items and enemies encountered in Hyrule. On their own, Echoes allow for a huge range of possibilities, with practically no limit to the experimentation available to players. However, the devs didn't stop there. About midway through the Echoes of Wisdom, players will have the opportunity to unlock Automatons.
