Use bows that zoom so you don't have to account for arrow travel time as much. (Ex: phrenic or golden bows)

Or spreadshot multi arrow bows. :getin:

1) Use bombs. Especially the up close and in your face ones this is super handy. Often though I've found you can easily blow up 1/2 of the balloon shoots with just Bombs. If they're also like the one in the patch of trees super loving far away, you can put a bomb there, go back up to activate and then detonate to blow the fuckers up (like that one in Akkala area).

2) Use multishot

3) Watch their pattern, usually theres some point they start to fly tangentially toward you can offers best chance to pop em.

It's interesting to me that mobs respawn similarly to how link respawns tho not evil. (?)

Link and mobs are technological programs manifest in a real (fake) world . Canon and the shiekah fighting thru coding

IMHO. Probably wrong.

Does anyone ever prioritize fashion over defense and/or set bonuses? I just discovered that the (endgame armor spoiler)Cap of the Wild and Hylian Tunic both dyed green along with the default Hylian Trousers make for my ideal "Traditional Link" look. The Tunic of the Wild is okay but pretty boring looking and the Boyshorts of the Wild are totally out of the loving question because holy poo poo they look dumb. It bugs me that I have 68 def instead of 76 but I guess nothing really hits hard enough for it to matter, except maybe Silver Lynels.

I love the shorts. Not as part of the set, but for themselves, dyed black, and combined with the climbing shirt they make for a great "casual adventurer" look. And they're way better than the Booty Shorts of the Hero, which I'm pretty sure are shorter than Link's actual underwear.

Smdh if you didn't beat the game cross dressing as a sexy gerudo vai

(I shamefully beat it with the loving ugly ancient dunce hat of shame the first time, jfc that thing is hideous, but because they put the second to the last memory in the castle it gave me an excuse to finish the memory quest and beat Gannon again in true sexy fashion)

also not like you even need armor since phase 1 is easy and phase 2 is like impossible to even get hit at all unless you really try

I mean really you should just face Ganon naked like a true hero.

I haven't done it yet though so I'm probably going to go for something more classic and green myself, but not "-of the Wild."

This. You can get to Eventide Island from that tiny island with the shrine in about a minute.

it's a little harder to get up to speed but it looks like the raft at riverside stable can go just as fast. I didn't spend much time with the rafts before this patch but it looks like it goes as fast as the magnisis trick would allow just by using the leaf now

Considering I know people who did that, yes, absolutely. loving nuts to consider, though. I wonder if any other title ever had that happen.

BotW is literally "I Just Want to Explore a While: The Game"

The only points of no return are probably after defeating the Divine Beasts and even then the game prompts you that there will be a point of no return so you can double-check things at that moment if you want.
