The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - 10 Best Echoes For Traversal

As the first mainline game to feature Princess Zelda as the main character, has made waves. The usual weapons are out of commission since players are playing as Princess Zelda and not Link this time. Instead of the sword that Link wields, Princess Zelda is given the Tri-Rod.
