Echoes of Wisdom ~ Acorn Mini-Game

Nintendo has shared on X today what the guy with the acorn hat is all about: he will be the host of a mini-game, where you have to collect a number of acorns in the environment within a set time-limit. In one example you have to find 10, in the other 16, where both examples are set in quite different locations.

It's likely that you will meet the guy all over Hyrule, similar to Juney and her Sand-Seal game in Tears of the Kingdom. And a big part of the mini-game will probably be the usage of echoes to reach the acorns.

I'm also getting some Rupee Rush vibes here from A Link Between Worlds, but I doubt that this is going to be as addictive, mainly because you seem to have preset challenges and there is only so much that you can optimize. It's probably more like playing the Silent Realms in the Lightning Round from Skyward Sword, just without the looming terror of the guardians.
