    If you didn't know, in TP, the magic armor, if you wear it while fighting ganondorf, and manage to run out of rupees as you kill him, as I did, you'll wear the unpowered armor in the final cutscenes. And hear a lot... And I mean A LOT of *clank clank clank* as Link moves in the cutscenes lol

    when I was still fairly new to Breath of the wild, I met a yiga foot soldier who sold me a banana for 99 rupees. Seeing as I hadn't seen a banana in the game before, I thought it was a really rare ingredient. Shortly after I bought the bananas, the yiga soldier attacked me.

    There's one good use for the Magic Armor and it's a very specific scenario: Go in to the final boss battle in normal cloths but have no Rupees if you can help it. When you swordfight Ganondorf and are prepared to make the final blow, switch to the magic armor. It'll stay on Link throughout the endgame cutscenes. Enjoy!

      The mechanic of being unable to take rupees from chests in TP made it even more annoying and in TPHD they removed it entirely but why couldn't they just give you the choice of putting it back or taking it anyway?

    I'm pretty sure the reason the reward for finding all the seeds is a golden poop is because the developers sincerely didn't want you to do that. The fact is, they probably knew that if they make the collectible desirable at all, people will feel obligated to collect all the seeds in order to get it. I think they really didn't want people to play the game that way.
    For example, when I replay Majora's Mask. I always get the fierce diety mask because I feel like collecting every mask is part of the game. If they gave you the reward of significance people would feel obligated to collect every time they replay it, and I don't think the developers wanted you to do that.

For example, I could say that 100% is all towers,shrines,koroks,memories,side quests,main quests, shrine quests, fairy fountains and all upgrades.

      Makes sense, that's why completing all shrines rewards you with the mastercycle zero and a whole new powerful armor set, shrines are the main collectables of the game and even tho there are 140 (I think) they're still manageable to get, but the koroks reward you with a complete inventory halfway through the whole sidequests, so that's already your big reward for all your hard work

    Honestly I love the magic armor's aesthetic. Really feels like the stuff you'd want to wear in end-game vs the bosses and wish it wasn't so hamstrung in use.
    I did a personal speed run of the Savage Labyrinth (WW) and Cave of Ordeals (TP) run using the magic armor without ever losing it throughout all its levels. Was a lot of fun running through the labyrinths trying to get as much rupees or magic refill to keep the magic armor active and the run going. Yes you're practically invulnerable but you're also racing against time before your magic meter or your rupees run out lol.

    Everyone who has played Breath of the Wild knows that when Hestu expands your inventory, he says the sound that plays throughout the series when you find items in chests. I think that, although this is a neat reference, it implies that all of the games that feature this sound are legends being retold to the other Koroks by Hestu, who is adding his own sound effects.

    As somebody who played Skyward Sword on a low-quality TV- I'm VERY excited for the switch port. It looks MUCH better, it was pretty on the Wii, but I bet it'll be breath-taking on a screen that isn't 20+ years old. Skyward Sword is one of, if not #1, favourite Zelda games ever, and despite the price (pretty hefty for a port/HD remake, can't lie) I've been looking forward to it for MONTHS. I screamed when it was released bc Skyward Sword has always been one of those Zelda games I loved but couldn't play as much as I'd like bc of the motion controls- I have hand tremors and the Wii was HELL.

    • @captaineleni
      @captaineleni 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes the graphics in Skyward Sword HD look much clearer! The option of using button controls instead of motion is great, it makes parts of the game much easier to play (e.g. Carrying that tower of pumpkins, and the Minecart rollercoaster ride). However, some precision sword hitting is better with motion controls, you can switch between the two methods. Fi has been adjusted too, she doesn't pop us as much to interrupt gameplay. She is more useful now I found.

And only if you're dedicated enough, you get rewarded with unbreakable weapons. You can still finish the game with breakable ones, but this would have been a worthy reward.

The other big scam in Zelda 1 is that you can't get the red ring until you complete all of the dungeons. It is located deep within the last dungeon, and you pretty much exhaust your potion supplies and other weapons just to get it.
