	Also known as "foolish" hints. Barren hints reveal an area without any logical progression items or Triforce pieces that is generally safe to skip. <blockquote>They say that plundering '''Jabu Jabu's Belly''' is a foolish choice.</blockquote>Barren dungeons are prioritized for selection before overworld areas. Because Jabu Jabu's Belly only has 3 active checks in Triforce Blitz, it is hinted as foolish ''extremely'' often, to the point where runners may be suspicious when it ''isn't'' hinted as foolish.

			Appearances: Season 3

			Echo hints are a random copy of an existing path hint in the seed, chosen without regard to any other locations already included in an echo hint.

			Echo hints replaced sometimes hints in season 3 as the last resort when there were otherwise not enough hints to fill all of the hint stones in the seed.<blockquote>They '''echo''' that '''Death Mountain Trail''' is on the '''path of wisdom'''.</blockquote>Echo hints increase the odds of finding relevant path information in seeds with low path counts. However, echo hints do not keep track of locations already picked by other echo hints. Therefore, these hints cannot be used to try and deduce "double" path locations. For example, finding 3 copies of a specific path hint would indicate that there are two items on the path in that location. However, finding 3 echoes of a specific path hint would not indicate anything about how many items are on the path there.
