Where to Place Ancient Orbs in LOZ Echoes of Wisdom

As part of “The Prime Energy and Null” story quest in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, you need to place LOZ Ancient Orbs in Eternal Forest pedestals to unlock a path forward. However, some of these can be difficult to find, and you also need to have them all summoned at once. Here’s how to complete this puzzle.

Where do I place the Ancient Orbs in the Eternal Forest in The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom?

Once you get into the Eternal Forest and find the Hyrule soldiers, you’ll be able to examine some ancient writing. After you do, you’ll be able to make an echo of an Ancient Orb. A monument with six blank circles will appear. Each one is tied to one of the six pedestals in these woods. A single echo of an Ancient Orb has a cost of one. Your goal is to place all six, then return to that spot to proceed.

The first orb pedestal is easy to find. It is right in front of you. However, the other five are littered throughout the maze of the Eternal Forest. For one, you’ll even need to use the Bind ability to yank a Deku Baba growing out of it out so you can place the Ancient Orb echo. 

Since the area is under a fog initially, you can’t completely see al the paths on the map right away. However, here are the screenshots of the exact locations of all six pedestals for Ancient Orbs in LOZ: Echoes of Wisdom I took to help you out. There are relatively few enemies, so aside from yanking out the Deku Baba with the Bind ability, Zelda won’t be in too much danger.

Once you place an Ancient Orb in each spot, the path will open up and you can head to the final battle.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is available for the Nintendo Switch.
