You don't have to beat shrines to unlock them as fast travels, just opening the front door is enough. There is also a much easier way to defeat Guardians than what you described, if you have a shield equipped you can parry attacks by holding LZ to keep your shield up and pressing A right before the attack makes contact. Timing this right will send the Guardians laser right back at it, resulting in a OHKO against certain types of Guardians.
Yeah every time you try to explore a new area. You get to a place you can’t make it so you upgrade your stamina then go back and start to climb and sure enough here comes he damn rain. I swear every time I try to explore a new area it rains.
Just started BOTW last night, I’m not an avid gamer and never played any Zelda game. It felt overwhelming and confusing at first but now I’m loving it. I’ve never felt this vulnerable in a game so this is a fun challenge
Same. I don't play games like this, I think playing a very tiny bit of Skyrim is the closest I've gotten to any game like this. It's hard and there isn't a clear direction you should go (that's what threw me off the most- I didn't know where to go next, so I panicked) weapons break easily, and a lot of mistakes are made (even pros make mistakes). You always get the hang of it, though. You just have to keep going.
My tips (and I am by no means an expert, just somebody whose played the game a few times): 1. Try to get to the Faron Tower and activate it as quickly as possible. This tower is east of the Great Plateau and is about 2/3rds distance across the map in the southern area. The reason is this tower has a ledge to the northeast that has two lizalfos (lizard enemies) on it. But the trees in the area contain A LOT of hearty durians. Cooking five of these will allow you 20 temporary heart containers so you can focus on completing shines and maxing out your stamina, while having a ton of hearts to help you out. 2. If you find a fairy fountain (like the one near Kakariko Village), the ground around will have things called Endura Carrots. Cook ONLY 1 of these at a time in a pot and it will allow you to completely refill your stamina meter and give you a little extra temporary stamina. You will be able to climb taller hills and mountains earlier and use your charge attack longer, earlier in the game. 3. Use wooden shields (boko shields, pot lids, etc.) against an archer enemy to have their arrows stick to them. Then put your shield away and you get the arrows. This will ruin your shields more quickly, but a couple of hits from an enemy will do that too with these low level shields, so you might as well get something out of it. 4. Remember, when a blood moon hits that all enemies and collectibles (not in chests) will respawn so the above three tactics can be done again and again after every blood moon. 5. Remember, its a game. We all die. Moderate players like myself up to the experts at BeardBear, GameSpot, and AustinJohnPlays have all died in this game. Learn from your mistakes and have fun. You'll get the hang of things very quickly.
That last point is particularly important. I went from never seeing a "Game Over" screen since Skyward Sword to dying the first time I encountered the half-destroyed guardian within the first twenty minutes of the game.
@Austin Downing then why are you watching a video on tips and tricks for the game you beat without dying. You got it handled. If it is as you claimed that is. It just seems weird to me.
Here is a tip: Right after you get off the great plateau, go west and find Outskirt Stable. It will help you a lot because it is in the center of everything. There are also a lot of horses there.
Here's a tip you forgot: When you're climbing, be sure you're near a place where you can stand and rest when your stamina is about to run out otherwise you'll find yourself on a one-way trip down to the ground (and likely to your death). In addition, you can't climb well while it's raining for obvious reasons.
I just finally got a switch and got around to playing this game yesterday, my god I couldn't stop. It's so good, I haven't been this into a game since Skyrim.
Quick Tip For guardians too....You can reverse the laser attack with any shield by pressing a right before it strikes and if you do it 5 time i think you can kill it with its own laser
This is actually in one of their other videos in this same series if it isn't in this one. I could have sworn it was this one, but it might be in the last 9 things in the "wish I knew before I started" collection.
Yep. You only have to parry three times, be sure to press "a" right as the eye flashes blue before shooting the laser at you. The parts are pretty good to save and get guardian stuff at the Akkala tech lab!
Cool shrine tip: you only have to activate them to unlock fast travel, you don't actually have to beat them right away. So if you're busy and don't want to be distracted or if it's a major test of strength and you don't have strong enough weapons, it's still good to at least activate it. The rain can be pretty annoying for novice cooks but there are a couple always lit cooking pots in the world that are under covered areas, my favourite is at the inn in Zora's Domain. There are also areas like the desert and Death Mountain where it never rains. The sneakstrike thing doesn't necessarily "nearly kill" an enemy, it simply does many times the weapon's normal damage. Stronger weapons are better for this and can kill tough enemies instantly, while torches and sticks will only finish off bokoblins in one hit.
One thing I love about this Zelda over the others, is the survival aspect. I love having to survive the elements like cold, heat, exhaustion, even lightning! It adds a whole new layer to the game as well as keeping the good old traditional gameplay Zelda always brings!
A good trick for fighting Guardians is to practice parrying their lasers. Early on when you encounter the stationary weaker ones, save your game and spend time practicing parrying that laser blast. A single parry can kill an immobile Guardian and 2-3 will kill a mobile one.
Different people consider different things as spoilers, they probably think it is spoiler free but don't want people to come to the pissed off that this one detail that isn't even important was spoiled
I have some simple tip: 1:take absolutely everything, you might need some ingredient For upgrading armor, potions, food and business for more ruppees. It's worth a stop to loot 2: thunder effect apply also to ennemies and metal weapons on the ground. 3: hit a tree with a hammer to make apples hit the ground. 4: dont underestimate bombs, they're super useful , can chop trees, destroy ore rocks, kill bats without using arrows, kill annoying wolves and slimes and other weak ennemies. 5: pary can deflect Guardian's lasers (resulting to high damage to the guardian if done correctly, it's also very risky but very rewarding for satisfaction) 6: save your game before boss, risky stuff, miniboss.
Also I found a cheat code to make it rain at anytime you want. All you need to do is start climbing somewhere you need to be then.., WUZZAHH!! You did it!
Same here, bro. Tried a year or so ago. Gave up due to time constraints. Now, I have been playing for the past one week or so regularly. Enjoying every bit of it.
Don't underestimate the usage of the para glider: The para glider can be use to fight more efficiently, using the free-falling time-freezing abilities you can quickly hit more than a few enemies while dropping into their encampment.
I avoided doing shrines in the beginning and I regret it so much lol. To beginners, please enter the shrines when you see them. There are tutorials on yt if you can’t figure some out
There should have been options to upgrade the Magnesis and ice runes. Upgrading Magnesis should make it to where you can pull metal weapons off enemy’s. And upgrading ice should make it to where you can either make more pillars or actually freeze a path on the deep water
You ever watched Frozen? When Elsa is running away and she takes off across the water because it freezes as her get hit it? Yeah, we should get to do that with the Ice rune. That’d be cool af.
Honestly this is the most fun and most intellectually challenging game I've played. I bought it last night and played for 2 hours straight this morning and this game instantly took my #1 spot for favorite game of all time. That title in my book isn't light, as I had to fully complete Bioshock Infinite and weigh it against my then favorite game for it to take the #1 spot back in 2013. This game took the spot in the opening tutorials. I haven't officially died yet, but what I mean by that is some resets that I did just to make sure I understood the game so I can keep playing. You have to choose your battles. There are some battles that I think are impossible to win without the proper tools. You must escape those battles and quest elsewhere. You have to stealthily take out the archer in a Bokoblin camp and then get a flawless kill on a Blue Bokoblin (which in 1 hit can take you from 3 hearts to 1/4 of a heart at the beginning of the game). You aren't even a match for the grounded Guardians, as they lock on and are able to 1 shot you after charging for a mere few seconds. I've barely began my adventure but already for this game I believe that adventure will never end.
Here's one: the physics engine in BotW is incredibly robust. If you think it's possible to do something with a weapon, item, or your surroundings, try it! You might be pleasantly surprised by the results, and will quickly build up a whole list of helpful tools and strategies to use.
Me: started yesterday, dafaq is that rock thing shooting me haha I’ll just use my BOKO SHIELD BROKE haha no biggie my spiked boko club will 1 sho- GAME OVER
2:18 you don't have to beat a shrine to use its teleportation ability. Pay attention to the animation that plays when you activate a shrine, because the tele-pad lights up.
You can easily kill guardians by countering their beams with your shield. Take out your shield wait for it to target you then counter with A the moment you see the blue in their eyes. Once you get a hand of this guardians will never be a problem again.
Believe it or not, I just started playing this game for the first time 2 days ago. Long story short I bought it almost 5 years ago and got sidetracked with a backlog of games. Thats what happens when you buy a ton of games but don't have much time to play them. Anyways I'm about 3 hours in and I'm hooked. The difficulty level was a bit higher than what I was expecting. Theres a ton to think about at all times. I played the original Zelda on NES as a kid but thats about the extent of my Zelda experience so I dont have a clue what the storyline is other than defeating Gannon. I'm definitely loving the game so far
I was afraid that I would not like this game since I've only played "simple" zelda games before on the DS etc. and was afraid that it would be too overwhelming but so far I'm LOVING IT
I started playing Legend of Zelda on my N64 playing OT & MM when I was 6 didn't fully beat it til I was 12. Now I have kids and I main on PS4 bought them a Switch and to this day i go play on their system just to get on Breath of the wild and I learn things every single time. Haven't beaten the game just because I like to do my own thing and Adventure; whether it be fishing, raiding a dungeon or just because I like how a mountain looks and see if I can climb it and if I do the pay off is riding it down with my shield snow boarding style - this game honest to God helped me with my anxiety or if I'm having a bad day.. this game is off tops one of the best games every created.
Jav Rivera yeah apparently you can’t just “unequip” stuff in this game. Many times I had all metal shields and had to “drop” whatever one I had on me on the ground... If it doesn’t roll off into oblivion on a rocky hill in the rain, you can retrieve it after the storm. I’d equip my ancient shield in this case but it has already out lived its durability RIP. It’s silly in my opinion to haul around items you don’t really use in combat simply to save yourself from lightning....
fighting guardians, earlier on use arrows as it stuns the guardian and interrupts its lazer, later on you can use the stun opening to hack off its legs, then simply hack at the guardian occasionally shooting the eye when it starts to target you, it'll save on arrows and is significantly easier than a shield parry
If you throw your metal weapon before lightning strikes it'll do good damage to whatever enemy you threw it at. Learned the hard way about metal weapons and stroms but also learn it'll still strike the weapon after you throw it too
You can use shrines as travel points even before you beat them. Just beginning it and leaving works. Don't do this most of the time though. Remember to come back whenever more convenient.
You can Defeat guardians easily at the start of the game, use a shield to deflect the lasers by pressing A when you see the blue flash or hear the shooting sound.
I just started playing today. Is there no fault in saving beforehand knowing you'll die but will come back in full health?? I did the in cold areas. I saved when my health was low. When I died, I came back with full health and was able to go further. Then saved again when I was about to die, etc. Is this a good strategy?
-Stock up on arrows. -If the thunderstorm is too much of a hassle find a dry spot light a fire and skip to another time of day. -Don't use bombs to mine for ores, try sledge hammer. -Collect alot and cook alot, you will always need food. -Stock up on fairies from the fountain near kakariko village they come in handy -If the situation gets to tough warp to safety it's better than wasting you weapons and food
About step five,you can also kill a guardian by using your shield to deflect the laser beams back at their eyes,or maybe their legs.Just make sure you bring plenty of shields because guardians can destroy most shields if used improperly.
I really love this game! It's awesome. In the beginning, I got super lost due to the huge map size, but after some time, and finding some shrines, the game got super excited
I'm seriously considering getting a Switch. I've already got a PS4 with a ton of games but I'm also a huge Zelda fan. Is it worth it to buy it now, or should I wait for a few months?
I've recently got a switch and would say yes definitely get a switch. The switch is the VW golf of games consoles, it's not. The most powerful, it's not the prettiest, but by god it the best. Portable doom for less that £300... need I say more?
A tip that I have for beginners that I personally use a lot, is that if you ever have to fight a moblin (a big bokogoblin) and you don't have many hearts or can't afford to lose hearts then get REALLY close so that they just aim blows over your head. Hope this helps.
a beginning tip should've been: get a horse. the world is huge, and there is not really any fast travel, so you might want to get a horse as soon as possible
0800sofa but there's pretty much always something decent near shrines and their spread out so if you beat every shrine you can go from one edge of hyrule to the next in a matter of seconds on the other hand with a horse well let's just say their only useful for when your looking for shrines
to defeat a guardian you can also use the deflect at the right time when it shoots you and it will kill it in one hit without really wasting much more than a little of your shields health. however you don't need to use a good shield, I use pot lids for the guardians
No, putting too many status effects into one dish doesn't result in dubious food. All statuses will be negated, and the hearts will be low, but it's not actually dubious. Dubious food happens when you mix elixir ingredients with food ingredients.
Just started playing this game, as a first time player of zelda....I find it quite hard to get used to. I do wish it had a choice of level, just because it is a difficult game for a newbie with zero prior experience. This video helps, thank you.
@@Theenjoyer24 yep and update: I did just that and friggin love this game! finally got that damn para glider! Rode a horse and got to the forest then...some ***hole rolled me over with a boulder 😱😭 I was becoming too confident...😒
After feeling very lost since completing TOTK, I finally decided to start BOTW from the beginning. They need to figure out a way for these games to evolve differently. BUT, playing it again while knowing all I know, it's still so fun.
I just got it been waiting for it to go on sale and it finally did after the release of the trailer for number 2 I might be behind everyone but I’m loving it so far
just a note: at 4:27, just because he survived with a quarter of a heart doesn't mean you can too. there is the mechanic where you cannot get one shot so you may die if you are struck by lightning with 11/12 hearts
One tip you missed if your carrying an item In your hand you can You can throw it by pressing down on the d-pad. And depending on the item some enemies may go for it.
Hmmm... *looks up at title* "9 Spoiler-Free Beginner's Tips For Zelda: Breath of the Wild" Hmm... *looks at beginnning of video* "May contain spoilers" ...you tryin' to fool me?
Adding fire to the grass will create a wind effect that allows to fly for a bit and go into bullet time and can restrict enemies movement to make for a good get away from me move
"It's also impossible to cook while it's raining" This one actually isn't totally true. There are a number of cooking pots that you can use while it's raining that are sheltered under a roof.
Were these tips helpful to you? What tips do you have for beginners?
You don't have to beat shrines to unlock them as fast travels, just opening the front door is enough.

Parrying is in no way easy. I have trouble parrying freaking Bokoblins.

Only problem is if they're the big brain ones. They may sometimes move out of the way of the parried laser.
Another tip is to always go to the tower when exploring new area. It's much easier to navigate once know your surroundings
You can use stasis to seek out any vegetation in a forest that you can't clearly see. VERY good for Satori Mountain and the Great Fairy Fountains.

2: thunder effect apply also to ennemies and metal weapons on the ground.
3: hit a tree with a hammer to make apples hit the ground.
4: dont underestimate bombs, they're super useful , can chop trees, destroy ore rocks, kill bats without using arrows, kill annoying wolves and slimes and other weak ennemies.

There should have been options to upgrade the Magnesis and ice runes.

And upgrading ice should make it to where you can either make more pillars or actually freeze a path on the deep water

Here's one: the physics engine in BotW is incredibly robust. If you think it's possible to do something with a weapon, item, or your surroundings, try it! You might be pleasantly surprised by the results, and will quickly build up a whole list of helpful tools and strategies to use.

2:18 you don't have to beat a shrine to use its teleportation ability. Pay attention to the animation that plays when you activate a shrine, because the tele-pad lights up.
I am so glad I've watched this before encountering a thunderstorm
same
I like how the video is called spoiler free and then the video starts with a disclaimer saying may contain spoilers....
Add on to 5: if running on a horse you can hit a guardian with any weapon and this will result in a critical hit stunning the guardian.
Im glad this video exists because this is my first legend of zelda game on console. All of these tips are useful! thank you
You can easily kill guardians by countering their beams with your shield. Take out your shield wait for it to target you then counter with A the moment you see the blue in their eyes. Once you get a hand of this guardians will never be a problem again.
Waittt this is so helpful! Thank you! I’ll try this
Believe it or not, I just started playing this game for the first time 2 days ago. Long story short I bought it almost 5 years ago and got sidetracked with a backlog of games. Thats what happens when you buy a ton of games but don't have much time to play them. Anyways I'm about 3 hours in and I'm hooked. The difficulty level was a bit higher than what I was expecting. Theres a ton to think about at all times. I played the original Zelda on NES as a kid but thats about the extent of my Zelda experience so I dont have a clue what the storyline is other than defeating Gannon. I'm definitely loving the game so far
Thanks... i've been playing this game for 3 days now and... man, i think I've died two hundred times already 😂 thanks for the tips
I was afraid that I would not like this game since I've only played "simple" zelda games before on the DS etc. and was afraid that it would be too overwhelming but so far I'm LOVING IT
One of the first things I did in the game was walk off a cliff and die.
I started playing Legend of Zelda on my N64 playing OT & MM when I was 6 didn't fully beat it til I was 12. Now I have kids and I main on PS4 bought them a Switch and to this day i go play on their system just to get on Breath of the wild and I learn things every single time. Haven't beaten the game just because I like to do my own thing and Adventure; whether it be fishing, raiding a dungeon or just because I like how a mountain looks and see if I can climb it and if I do the pay off is riding it down with my shield snow boarding style - this game honest to God helped me with my anxiety or if I'm having a bad day.. this game is off tops one of the best games every created.
Dubious food can heal more than one heart, just depends on what went in to it.
Jacob Bearce
He showed one with 1 1/4 hearts XD
Jacob Bearce one time i got an 5 hearts or more dubious food,i dont remember
spoiler-free
May contain spoilers u.u
Oscar Cifuentes Exactly I noticed that as soon as the video started lol
I'm getting it Saturday. Preparing, bought dlc. Now learning tips for the he journey to be the hero!
Someone may have already posted this but keeping at least one wooden shield, bow, and weapon on hand is helpful during lighting storms.
Jav Rivera yeah apparently you can’t just “unequip” stuff in this game. Many times I had all metal shields and had to “drop” whatever one I had on me on the ground... If it doesn’t roll off into oblivion on a rocky hill in the rain, you can retrieve it after the storm. I’d equip my ancient shield in this case but it has already out lived its durability RIP. It’s silly in my opinion to haul around items you don’t really use in combat simply to save yourself from lightning....
@@WoWGirl6 Or you can just wait it out in shelter (if available) and not have to get rid of anything.
You can get hit by lighting WTF???
Ningyo Chan
basically, this game is minecraft, beautiful graphics edition!
Ningyo Chan Apparently you can throw your metal at enemies and watch them get struck.
Hannibus 42
What does this have to do with Minecraft. It's nothing like MC...
Pretty much the same way you have a chance to get hit by lightning in real life..
+Nucleor Gaming exactly i dont like people who compare this game with minecraft....
fighting guardians, earlier on use arrows as it stuns the guardian and interrupts its lazer, later on you can use the stun opening to hack off its legs, then simply hack at the guardian occasionally shooting the eye when it starts to target you, it'll save on arrows and is significantly easier than a shield parry
If you throw your metal weapon before lightning strikes it'll do good damage to whatever enemy you threw it at.
Learned the hard way about metal weapons and stroms but also learn it'll still strike the weapon after you throw it too
You can use shrines as travel points even before you beat them. Just beginning it and leaving works. Don't do this most of the time though. Remember to come back whenever more convenient.
You can Defeat guardians easily at the start of the game, use a shield to deflect the lasers by pressing A when you see the blue flash or hear the shooting sound.
for lynels get in close, and use perfect dodges forr flurry attacks, once you learn its attacks they're pretty easy to read
"Sneak up to the larger group and throw a bomb."
I WOULD do that if I could ACTUALLY AIM THE BOMBS
I just started playing today. Is there no fault in saving beforehand knowing you'll die but will come back in full health??
I did the in cold areas. I saved when my health was low. When I died, I came back with full health and was able to go further. Then saved again when I was about to die, etc.
Is this a good strategy?
Title: “9 spoiler-free beginner tips”
Video: “May contain spoilers”
SHIELD BASH IS ONE OF THE BEST MOVES IN THE GAME!!!
Ken Nefzer against guardians
-Stock up on arrows.
-If the thunderstorm is too much of a hassle find a dry spot light a fire and skip to another time of day.
-Don't use bombs to mine for ores, try sledge hammer.
-Collect alot and cook alot, you will always need food.
-Stock up on fairies from the fountain near kakariko village they come in handy
-If the situation gets to tough warp to safety it's better than wasting you weapons and food
About step five,you can also kill a guardian by using your shield to deflect the laser beams back at their eyes,or maybe their legs.Just make sure you bring plenty of shields because guardians can destroy most shields if used improperly.
I really love this game! It's awesome. In the beginning, I got super lost due to the huge map size, but after some time, and finding some shrines, the game got super excited
*How Breath of The Wild smells?*

heuxheux hey wait that is a real good mem

ChryI Exactly I noticed that as soon as the video started lol
Playing this for the first time finally and the artistic style and landscape brings me back to when I read the edge chronicles in elementary school.
If you find yourself surrounded by small enemies, you can use the bomb rune to knock them away and move in to finish them off quickly.
The first day of playing I jumped off the great plateau tower like 5 times trying to use the cool glider I saw in the trailer
I'm seriously considering getting a Switch. I've already got a PS4 with a ton of games but I'm also a huge Zelda fan. Is it worth it to buy it now, or should I wait for a few months?
Trevor Wilson once u get a switch u will leave ur PS4 to collect dust , in my case
if you have a Wii U i recommend getting it on that but if you don't go ahead and get the switch (recommended to get screen protector as well)
Trevor Wilson use a Wii u
I've recently got a switch and would say yes definitely get a switch.
The switch is the VW golf of games consoles, it's not. The most powerful, it's not the prettiest, but by god it the best.
Portable doom for less that £300... need I say more?
Well get one now there’s dlc now
I got this game last month and was so confused at first. But now i'm addicted. Currently trying to defeat waterblight gannon in vah ruta...
A tip that I have for beginners that I personally use a lot, is that if you ever have to fight a moblin (a big bokogoblin) and you don't have many hearts or can't afford to lose hearts then get REALLY close so that they just aim blows over your head. Hope this helps.
when doing this watch out for them kicking you
my dad *was* so skilled at parrying he killed his first guardian in one try. Now hes absolutely horrendous at it
a beginning tip should've been: get a horse. the world is huge, and there is not really any fast travel, so you might want to get a horse as soon as possible
0800sofa there is fast travel though you probably want to run around anyways to find new stuff you might've missed
Deadly Asskicker isn't there only fast travel between the sheikah shrines?
theres fast travel between sheikah shrines and towers
Monarchsub X yes, but only between the shrines. that's about 0.05 percent of the world of hyrule
0800sofa but there's pretty much always something decent near shrines and their spread out so if you beat every shrine you can go from one edge of hyrule to the next in a matter of seconds on the other hand with a horse well let's just say their only useful for when your looking for shrines
"9 Spoiler-Free Beginner's Tips For Zelda: Breath of the Wild"... 0:01 "May Contain Spoilers".
"9 spoiler-free beginner's tips...." first thing I see in the video: "may contain spoilers"....
to defeat a guardian you can also use the deflect at the right time when it shoots you and it will kill it in one hit without really wasting much more than a little of your shields health. however you don't need to use a good shield, I use pot lids for the guardians
No, putting too many status effects into one dish doesn't result in dubious food. All statuses will be negated, and the hearts will be low, but it's not actually dubious. Dubious food happens when you mix elixir ingredients with food ingredients.
I just started playing this game and I’ve been struggling a lot. I’ll try to follow these tips lol.
Mine is downloading as we speak!
Just started playing this game, as a first time player of zelda....I find it quite hard to get used to. I do wish it had a choice of level, just because it is a difficult game for a newbie with zero prior experience.
This video helps, thank you.
Swathy same here, started 3 weeks ago..read up on Some tips but mostly just explore..and everything will become clear ;)
@@Theenjoyer24 yep and update: I did just that and friggin love this game! finally got that damn para glider! Rode a horse and got to the forest then...some ***hole rolled me over with a boulder 😱😭
I was becoming too confident...😒
I know I'm late... Never dig down!
Wrong game bro
lol_really r/whoosh
After feeling very lost since completing TOTK, I finally decided to start BOTW from the beginning. They need to figure out a way for these games to evolve differently. BUT, playing it again while knowing all I know, it's still so fun.
says Spoiler-Free in the title then said may contain spoilers in the first second of the video??? lol?
I just got it been waiting for it to go on sale and it finally did after the release of the trailer for number 2 I might be behind everyone but I’m loving it so far
Lol I actually just bought it to. Great game so far.
Can somebody PLEASE tell me why my map is still blue? I've reached Kakariko Village and nothing is being revealed.
Doge Viper you need to go to a sheikah tower in that region
You need to climb towers to fill in the map.
Doge Viper I think the tower that unlocks the kakariko map appears is on your left before you enter the Dueling Peak mountains pass traveling East.
Doge Viper you need to reset your game and then buy a new one online from ebay
Its a glitch that nintendo never fixed
just a note: at 4:27, just because he survived with a quarter of a heart doesn't mean you can too. there is the mechanic where you cannot get one shot so you may die if you are struck by lightning with 11/12 hearts
"9 *Spoiler-free* beginner's tips for Zelda: Breath of the Wild."
The first thing you see is text that says: "May be *Spoilers* "
What the fuck?
One tip you missed if your carrying an item In your hand you can You can throw it by pressing down on the d-pad. And depending on the item some enemies may go for it.
i used rare ingredients to cook and got dubious food witch gives 6 hearts
KalaX Gaming xD
Katz Games I don't even have 6 hearts, only 5
You can definitely start a fire when it’s raining, you just have to be under a ledge or in an abandoned house where you find the journals.

Adding fire to the grass will create a wind effect that allows to fly for a bit and go into bullet time and can restrict enemies movement to make for a good get away from me move
spoiler free (may contain spoilers)
even though im decently far into the game i still watch these beginner tips to see if there is something i still did not know
"It's also impossible to cook while it's raining"
This one actually isn't totally true. There are a number of cooking pots that you can use while it's raining that are sheltered under a roof.
