Gameplay

The player controls Princess Zelda, who can use the power of the magical Tri Rod to create "echoes", which are imitations of objects and monsters that can be used freely. However, there is a limit on how many can be summoned and each echo has a different cost; how many echoes can be created is indicated by the number of triangles visible behind Tri. She can also "bind" objects with Bind, allowing an object to move with her, or move with an object using Reverse Bind. In addition to having echoes fight enemies, Zelda can fight enemies directly by wielding a sword that transforms her into the Swordfighter form, which resembles Link. This form can only be used for a limited time before its energy must be replenished by collecting orbs of energy found in the Still World. Zelda can travel through various methods, including riding echoes, fast travel sites called Waypoints, on foot, or on horseback. She can also change outfits or equipment and combine ingredients to concoct smoothies which she can then purchase.
