It’s up to Zelda to save Hyrule as mysterious rifts appear throughout the land in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. Those pulled into the rifts return as imposters, and one of the boss imposters you have to face off against is Link, who appears in the Suthern Ruins.
This is the first battle you have against Link in Echoes of Wisdom, and as you might expect, there are going to be several more. What makes the first encounter particularly tough is you don’t have any weapons to fight him. Instead, you have to rely on the magic of the Tri Wand and procure the correct items to defeat him. It’s not immediately intuitive what items you should use to defeat Link. Here’s what you need to know about how to beat Link at the Suthern Ruins in Echoes of Wisdom.
