Tri Rod
The Tri Rod is an Item in Echoes of Wisdom.[1]
Location and Uses
The Tri Rod is a magical artifact created by Tri, which bears their coloration and emits warmth. Tri lends it to Princess Zelda to help her escape from the Hyrule Castle Underground.[2][3] Afterwards, Zelda continues to utilize the Tri Rod to help Tri mend the Rifts appearing throughout Hyrule. The Rod allows its wielder to make use of Tri's Power to Learn and create Echoes of Objects and Enemies defeated in battle.[4][5][6] Each Echo has a cost to summon, which is indicated by the triangles that follow Tri. The Tri Rod can also be used to dismiss Echoes individually or all at once.[7] By pointing the Tri Rod at certain Objects and Enemies, Zelda can Bind herself to them, which makes them match her movements.
During the Main Quest "A Rift in the Faron Wetlands", the Tri Rod is confiscated from Zelda after she is arrested by the Deku Scrubs, though she is left with a Stick instead.[8] A Deku Scrub guard also shares their plans to use it as a Cotton Candy Stick.[9] After Zelda's escape, she and Tri find the guard using it to eat Cotton Candy, which angers Tri.[10] When the guard notices Zelda, they realize that she has come to take the Tri Rod, and Tri demands that Zelda retrieve it.[11] The guard insists on finishing their Cotton Candy first.[12] The Tri Rod is noticeably sticky due to its exposure to Cotton Candy.[13] The guard then reveals that its shape made it difficult to use as a Stick.[14] Feeling sick, Tri asks Zelda to clean the Tri Rod when she has time.[15]
After Zelda and Link defeat Null, the Tris return to rest with the Golden Goddesses, and Zelda ends up keeping the Tri Rod. Following the Credits, the Tri Rod can be seen within a frame on the wall of Zelda's Room.

— Key Items (Echoes of Wisdom)
Tri loaned you this mystical rod. With its power, you can echo things you've learned. - ↑
Zelda, I've made something to help you.
— Tri (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
You borrowed the Tri Rod! It's a mysterious rod the same color as Tri. It's warm to the touch.
— Game Screen (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
I can create echoes of things in this world. I'm not sure what will be most useful to you, but I'm sure this will come in handy. Go up to something that's shimmering, then press [ZR]Icon.
— Tri (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
Good job. That's how you learn things. Anything you've learned can be echoed with [Y]Icon.
— Tri (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
Did you learn to echo that monster? Defeating new monsters leave a shimmer, which allows you to learn about them like you just did.
— Tri (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
Look at that. Perfect job. What you created is called an echo. Press [ZR]Icon when you're near an echo to erase it. If you want to erase all of your echoes, hold [ZR]Icon.
— Tri (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
Oh! One last thing. I had to confiscate aaall of your belongings. But I'd feel bad leaving you with nothing, so... Take this!
— Deku Scrub (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
I realized that doohickey of yours would make a perfect cotton-candy stick.
— Deku Scrub (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
Nyam, nyam. So sweet and gluey!
— Deku Scrub (Echoes of Wisdom)That's the Deku Scrub who took the Tri Rod! They're using it to eat cotton candy. That is NOT a cotton-candy stick! I can't stand to watch this. Zelda, what should we do?
— Tri (Echoes of Wisdom)I'm hooked on this stuff! Nyam, nyam, nyam.
— Deku Scrub (Echoes of Wisdom)Oh, come on! Stop it.
— Tri (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
Nyam, nya— Wuh! You're here to take this, aren't you?
— Deku Scrub (Echoes of Wisdom)The rod is special... It's not for food! Zelda, tell the Deku Scrub to give it back!
— Tri (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
... OK, OK, just a sec. Nyam, nyam... BuUrrp! Whew, all right. Thanks for waiting.
— Deku Scrub (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
You got your belongings back! But the Tri Rod is sticky from the cotton candy...
— Game Screen (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
That thing wasn't a great cotton-candy stick after all. Weird shape.
— Deku Scrub (Echoes of Wisdom) - ↑
I'm glad we got it back, but now I feel queasy. Would you please clean that off later?
— Tri (Echoes of Wisdom)
