So. Charging up a spear attack on a frozen enemy, with maxed stamina. That's some poo poo. :stonk:

So if I found the full zora armor I can safely sell all my opal since I'm never going to need the opal earrings for the swim speed bonus right?

The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

That depends, does shooting a fire arrow at an explosive barrel in the water only for it to not explode. and deciding "gently caress it, time to throw bombs from an ice pillar" count as cheating? I think that was the only explicit "Not using the set props" for me so far. But I'm only 5 heart containers +2 spheres in shrine wise :downs: (More marked, but ooh distraction! oh wait I'm on the opposite side of a mountain now)
"Man this 'light the torches' puzzle is annoying. I got four of them but the fifth's gonna be tricky." *pull out fire arrow*

This game definitely feels like there are intended ways to do things (good game design) but they've removed the usual arbitrary punishments for trying other methods. Sure there are nasties patrolling the skies, but if you wanna dodge them and climb over this obstacle have at it! "It's raining so you have to take the long way instead of climbing"? That sounds like a challenge to me and my stamina mushrooms!

Man I still have only beat Vah Ruta so I still don't know that much of the plot but I hope the DLC is basically Link and the Champions' adventures in getting ready for Ganon 100 years ago.

They used to call me tricky-kid, I lived the life they wish they did.


So now when I aim my bow it's in first person.

Did I hit a button and toggle this without knowing or is something fucky?

It is quite disorienting.

They aren't that bad. Once you get in close with a spear, they are dead pretty quick.

If the lightning ones are this bad, I can't imagine running into a fire, ice and wind ones. Maybe even Earth?

So guardians have gone from terrifying me to a joke in the span of 10 minutes. Turns out you can infinite stunlock them with arrows. I kind of assumed they'd shut their eye at some point but no. All you need to do to kill one is let it walk up to you behind a wall. Then you run out, shoot it once, stab with your weapon of choice, shoot it again for another stun, repeat. The only thing keeping me from hunting them now is that it would be hell on my weapon durability.

They're so cool. I swear when you get their attention they loving wave at you before proceeding with the murder. So excited to have someone to shock/burn/freeze.

Wind Waker Wizzrobes are still my favorite due to their weird noises though.

You could also just perfect parry their eyebeams. Requires learning some timing though.

You want bullshit? I got the bloodmoon cutscene while I was in the middle of clearing a camp of black lizalfos. So that's really aggravating, but the cutscene triggered while a black lizalfos was jumping at me from behind a rock. So as the game fades back in and gives me control I'm greeted with a lizalfos falling on top of me faster than I could of possibly reacted. Instant death :argh:

I found out that you can actually see the red moon rising far before the hosed up audio starts. So if you keep an eye on the sky you can scout out a bloodmoon and put your murder plans on hold for a bit. No good if you're somewhere you can't see the sky though.

I'm tired and I just can't figure it out, someone please explain the maze to me :(

I flew in from above, looked around up top, ran around for ages inside, killed the guardian (thanks for the shield tip, thread) and I still haven't figured out how to get to the shrine.

No. Remember back in Zelda 1 where you need a certain amount of heart containers to get the Silver Sword and the Magic Sword? That's back.

I got the you-know-what in the Lost Woods. What kinds of cool things should I do with it? I totally want to take it out for a test drive before it "expends its energy" and I go back to normal weapons like usual. Can I like, destroy all those stationary Guardians with impunity and grab all their loot? Maybe even moving ones? I gotta know what kinds of things this weapon makes fun.

From my experience, not quite. It's the strongest sword once you're Fighting Evil... but it's still a sword weapon. You need to parry lasers consistently if you want to wreck Guardians. Like the great deku tree said: you will need more than just this blade to defeat evil.

My experience with a Lynel:

A guy tells me where I need to go for the main quest. I look at the map and make an educated guess as to where I need to go. I jump from the top of a tower and float down to where I think I need to be. Awesome, that's exactly right. Wander a bit past that point and come across what I'm guessing is a Lynel. It shoots the poo poo out of me and charges and I'm dead. I try again, I'm dead again. I say "gently caress it, I'll go the other way." The other way has an 800 HP moblin. gently caress.
