All cave locations and rewards in Zelda Echoes of Wisdom

If you want to get treasures, rare items, or even simply stock up on Rupees in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, you really shouldn’t pass up the opportunity to go cave diving. 

There are a total of 51 caves in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, although some have more entry points than others, so if you’re counting entry points, then there are a total of 62. Every single one is worth exploring to get the goodies inside, but it can be hard to figure out which caves should take priority outside of those you visit as part of the main story. 

All Caves in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom

The map above shows every cave in Hyrule, and it can be a little overwhelming. In an effort to help you get your priorities straight, here’s a full rundown of every cave in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, as well as what goodies you can find in each or Echoes that can be learned. 

Of course, there are additional Rupees to be had from defeating enemies within each cave, but the main rewards are those listed below.

Suthorn Forest caves

Caves visited as part of main or side quests:

• #1 and #7 (“The Mysterious Rifts” main story quest)
• #6 (“Finding the Flying Plant” side quest)

There are a total of seven caves in Suthorn Forest, and as this is the first area you get to explore, these are likely to be the first caves you dive into. 

Hyrule Field caves

Caves visited as part of main or side quests:

• #1 (“Let’s Play a Game” side quest)
• #5 (“Impa’s Gift” side quest)
• #9 (“Still Missing” main quest)

Caves visited as part of main or side quests:

• #3 (“The Jabul Waters Rift” main quest)
