Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom – Eternal Forest Path and Pedestal Placement

The Eternal Forest is one of the many misty forests shrouding the visions The Legend of Zelda series, but luckily it's not too hard to find the right path through the Eternal Forest.

Once you arrive at this location and figure out how to get through the Eternal Forest, Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom players who are on the main quest will receive an additional objective in this area: activate the six locations on the Eternal Forest pedestal to reveal the path to the Ancient Ruin and the path to Echo Zelda.

The Eternal Forest is located north of Hyrule City, nestled between the far northern zones of the Holy Mountain of Lanayru and Eldin Volcano. To get here, head into the foothills that lead up to Mount Hebra northwest of the Hyrule Castle dungeon, and look for a break in the trees almost exactly west of the Northern Sanctum (where you'll find one of the Acorn Gathering minigame locations).
