Today we learn about another mini-game in Echoes of Wisdom, the dojo. As explained on X, this one will be very similar to Simon's Simulations from The Minish Cap. You will train in your sleep and in these dreams you will be clearing out rooms filled with monsters in a time-limit.
You are seemingly still allowed to use your Swordfighter form, but you might not be able to replenish it. Though, the environments do have these purple particle effects to them, like the Suthorn Ruins in the Still World, so it's still possible that you might. If you could rely on the Swordfighter form too much, however, it would remove part of the challenge. Finding the right echoes for the job will certainly be part of what makes this interesting.
In The Minish Cap this mini-game was overall quite fun, but it lacked variety. And that's something that should be addressed, but it looks like it's based on what dungeons you've already cleared. The two screenshots released by Nintendo are from the early game and based upon the Suthorn Ruins. The rooms already look different, which is good. But it would make sense if they were offering different challenges based on each dungeon, each featuring their unique layouts and enemy combinations.
You could even use this as a means to rebattle bosses, which is always nice to have in a Zelda game. It's still a shame that you couldn't do just that in A Link Between Worlds.
