How to open Rifts in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
To open a rift in Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, you’ll need to find the small golden ripples on the surface. Approach and interact with them to have Tri open up an entrance to the Still World Rift, then interact with the entrance to jump in.
If you enter and then leave a Rift, you won’t need to have Tri open up the entrance again, as it will still be there from the previous time. For Rifts that require you to find and rescue Tri’s friends, any that you’ve saved during a previous visit to a Rift will be saved, and you’ll only need to find and rescue the remaining ones that you didn’t find previously.
