Recently, one player pointed out a missed opportunity for the developer to give players another outfit variant to use during the game.
As highlighted in a recent video, a YouTuber known as The Bread Pirate revealed a strange limitation they noticed regarding theoutfits inEchoes of Wisdom. Specifically, players can only wear the Disguise outfit with the hood not covering Zelda for a couple of minutes of the game. The gamer pointed out how the lack of a hoodless option for the outfit was even stranger considering the marketing for the game; the box art ofEchoes of Wisdomshows the character with her hood down. Understandably, this official artwork could lead some to think the look was an option available throughout most of the game.
