#Zelda #TearsoftheKingdom #NintendoSwitch - เกม
I’m over 60hours in and I’m fairly certain I haven’t even done 25% of the game. This thing is huge. Might be the biggest game I’ve ever played.
Same
Same !! 60 hours in and I’m barely doing some of the story missions. Definitely putting hundreds of hours into this game
Lol, map is huge, I'm 70 hours in and have only done the wind temple and have been running around the entire area and keep finding more and more stuff, I'm definitely taking my time exploring
Same
Same. And I’m over 135 hours in
When you need fire for whatever reason, be it lighting up a dark shrine or melting ice or whatever, don't burn your wooden weapons. Instead, attach a fire fruit to an arrow but DO NOT FIRE IT. Just hold the shot indefinitely. You get the light and heat from the fire arrow that'll do whatever you need, albeit at close range, and when you're done you can cancel the shot and it won't count as using any resources. Free fire whenever you need it. There's at least one shrine this makes completely trivial.
Or just have a ruby or choochoo fused shield/weapon on you and it will melt without being used.
But won't give the light also correct?
I usually throw the fire fruit , they are plentiful enough to use , but saves using an arrow
That’s a good tip! But I like to save fire fruit for combat especially with those damn living trees 😂 For any instance that needs just light and not necessarily fire I always just throw or shoot brightbloom seeds
Just this alone friend, can’t tell you how often I’m running low on said items. What a G 👌🏼
What’s most impressive about this game is you can be playing this game for hours and every hour it feels new and like you just started playing every area has its own challenges or something new to see. Like at first the caves were basics the further you get from the starting area they start to become deeper and lead you into new areas or shrines
Doesn't help that my time blindness makes an entire IRL day playing this game feels like it's only been a couple of hours 😖
There is a cave right east of Hateno with 5 (five!) gold-sparkly ore deposits.
How consistent is this 5 ore deposits being gold-sparkles?
@@felixthescholarlytitan4437 If they keep the BOTW mechanics, gold ore will always be gold ore, but it takes time for the good gems to accumulate in a re-spawned ore. It's not a rapid ore-farming tactic, but if it's been a while since you've been in an area, it's a good idea to check your notes for good ores nearby.
I’d like to say thank you for the awesome idea of just including a “level of spoilers” gauge on these videos. I’d enjoy them on more videos.
Something that frustrates me is that ultrahand’s range seems to change based on the context. Sometimes I can grab a far off, out of reach bomb flower but I can’t grab an object for a puzzle that’s practically in front of me.
Also, I wish I could point the camera up more while using ultrahand.
A useful trick about a specific kind of fusion I've found handy: you can get around the downside of Gloom weapons (does gloom damage to you while holding them) by simply attaching them as fusion material to another weapon-so you gain all the upside of their immense attack power, without any of the downsides, while also increasing their range and possibly changing them to a more preferable weapon type.
or just attach the light dragon horn to them. then cancelling it the the negative effects😂
@@mickelcsaszar3244that doesn’t work
Attached a Gloom Sword to a spear (side note - spears are underrated and are probably the best weapon type in the game), and it helped me destroy my first Gleeok.
@@skitskitlarroi4578I thought fusing something to them took away the gloom effect?
@@MasonOfLife it’s been a while since I’ve played but I just remember fusing a gloom weapons into another weapon makes it the gloom weapon not hurt you but it breaks easily after a few swings
Zion: "don't activate lightroots, play in the dark". Also Zion: "always add a headlight or bloomflowers to your vehicle so you can see" 😅
I think it would be the difference between taking a walk in the dark and driving a bike/car in the dark (no light). You'll probably go crashing into things a lot easier at higher speeds in the dark than just walk/running around.
@@ComradeCatpurrnicus Obviously...
@@xanderscott807 If it's so obvious, why do so many people seem to think there's some sort of contradictions in the two statements? They aren't mutually exclusive, both things can be true at the same time.
@@ComradeCatpurrnicus I get to flying around the depths (and ALWAYS forget to attach a light) and then I crash into a tree 😅 I absolutely abhor the darkness so I hurried to light it up!
puffshroom is a godsend for dealing with high tier enemies. Blind em, then sneakstrike them to conserve durability. It's even better if you use an eightfold blade from a yiga then fuse it with a strong blunt material. It's much more useful since you can break enemies armor with that weapon.
YES puffshroom and eightfold blade is such a good combo
Don't forget that you can fuse shields to two handed swords. Also for style points to exploring the depths, Shield Surfing prevents gloom corruption.
I've played about 70 hours into the game. Story-wise, I'm still at the beginning. I haven't began any of the main Temples. However, I've activated every Skyview Tower all over Hyrule. I'm searching for every Zonai Shrines. So far I've completed about 110 Shrines. I've maximized my Stamina Vessels, so now I'm trying to maximize my Heart Containers. This game is pretty big and it's great!
I would recommend doing the death mountain quest. The unlock you get from doing so can help save some resources when doing major excavating.
That's an odd way to start... Oh well you're loss lol
If it’s the way they want to play then it isn’t a loss. That’s the way of open world sandbox games
I totally get this, but wait until you start on the lightroots and abandoned mining facilities.. it's addicting.
@@xanderscott807 not really, i started the same, i wanted to prove slowly but steady everything this game has to offer and being able to freely explore the map without quests interfering was amazing, taming a horse, collecting stables, idk man, if its a thing that mostly Rpg gamer people do but we usually tend to know the value of resources so now im in main quest and just finished water temple (that i explored without Sidon first), easy as hell and still very fun lorewise with amazing mechanics and overall, just let people run the game at their pace, there's no time lost if you're doing something, you will either be full of resources, armour and cool side quests and be able to then dont have to wait any armor, or low damage weapons, or just be stucked at some point that u wanna get, also getting lost is cool as hell i always find nice stuff.
One thing, about breaking boxed etc. with Ultrahand.. and it's a carry-over from BotW. A box or barrel in motion will break %100 of the time where as, if you hold it still when you get it up in the air, it's more likely it won't break. Moving side to side or dropping while it's on the way up is going to make it WAY more easier to break boxes etc. on your first try. It was like this in BotW, so I gave it a try and sure enough... it works in TotK too. Cheers Mates!
This is a really good tip!
I didn't even know that in botw.. What I do with ultrahand is attach a whole bunch of barrels and boxes together then drop them lol.. Doesn't always break everything though..
All of the armour pieces you can get from scanning Zelda amiibo are obtainable in game so you don't need to worry about having the amiibo, which is a nice touch 😌
And if you do happen to have all the Amiibo (or, if you're like me, $15 worth of ntag215 cards, a smart phone, and a profound desire not to spend $400+ on Amiibos) you can sell the spare armor pieces you find in chests for like, 600 rupees each
My 1st Nintendo game was Zelda 2 Adventures of Link in 1987. It took me the whole summer to beat it. Thirty six years later I saw this game in a wal-mart and thought what the hell. I am now seven years old again staying up past my bedtime and loving every minute of it.
My first one was Legend of Zelda 1986. I loved everything about that game and I'm loving everything about this game as well.
My two tips are shaking the controller to unfuse things is a lot easier than wiggling your right stick, and that you can flatten anything you pick up with ultra hand with the L button, since sometimes the orientation gets messed up, it’s a nice way to reset it.
16:35 Combat Tip - When a Stone Talus throws its fist / boulder at you like that, you can use Recall on the fist / boulder to send it flying back at it and hit it hard (it'll usually go to ground afterwards too, allowing you to climb up). You need very quick reflexes but if you just make sure you have Recall ready to go at the press of L when in battle with a Talus, you can watch it get ready to hurl its hand at you, then just press L several times until there is a boulder you can click and send back at. Similarly check this with other things enemies throw at you, like Hinoxes, Like Likes and more 😊
I usually just use ascend on the talus 😅
Omg that’s a brilliant use of the abilities!!! Thank you so much and @DanLyrics as well!!!
Another great thing to do is use the boulder breaker on it for some CRAZY damage.
@@Dan_Letters good grief 😂 I feel so dumb! That's perfect!!!
I didn’t even think about that, I’m so botw brained I just get on top always
If you need to scale a huge cliff and don't have a lot of stamina upgrades (or don't see any rest ledges) it's a good idea to make a campfire, then throw a pine cone in it. This creates an instant updraft, and acts like a free Revali's Gale. Then, if you completed the Rito dungeon, you can get some extra horizontal movement!
I was seeing this with peppers in a campfire as well
Always fuse Gibdo bones to arrows. They break after one hit so they are perfect for arrow fusing….if you farm them from the gerudo desert, you will have one of the most abundant and powerful fuse materials available.
With multi shot bows, it becomes super broken, I really hope master mode comes out soon, so I can regain the fun sense of challenge that I got at the start of the game even with using every tip that I learned from normal mode
@@onewayraildex4827Golden Gleeok...
@@Danny328DTgolden king gleeok...
Another tip for blupees: the keese eyes do work on them and fusing does pause the game, so even on the ground you can get several shots in before they disappear.
Here's a tip: Your shield can function as a weapon too! You can fuse it with Swords or other sharp monster parts (like Silver Lynel Saber Horn) and it can do stuff like cut grass or even trees when you use Shield Bash (Parry)
Or you can fuse it with blunt type materials like boulder or Savage Lynel Mace Horn so it can break enemy's armor or mine ores with it.
Of course it will use up the shield's durability, my pot lid + boulder can mine 10 ores before breaking, for a pot lid it's not bad.
And if you use a high damaging Monster Materials like the Lynel Horns it's very possible to beat enemies with only shields!
Quick map tip:
Water on Hyrule surface represents the stone structures (pillars and rock walls) of the depths. Meaning: anywhere there's water above you on the map, there's going to be a giant stone structure.
So if you're navigating the depths in the dark, You can change your mini map to reflect the surface while you're still in the depths. Go to your menu and change the map to the surface and then exit. Now you have a somewhat functional mini map for areas in the depths that you haven't explored yet.
Also light roots are directly under the shrines in the Hyrule map. So if you find a shrine in Hyrule. Most of the time the light root in the depths are directly under it. Ping it on your map. Boom east finds for light roots
Not sure if it is useful but the depths map seems to be vertically inverted. A mountain on the surface is a valley in the depths, and vice versa.
Creating an up draft is so underrated in this game since you don’t have Revalis Gale. This is especially helpful in the depths with the big ass mountains it has, make sure you’re stocked on fire items, wood, and pine cones!
This was a key to my early game! I still use it late game, but I also keep a healthy amount of springs on hand now for the same effect that can be scaled as needed
I never managed to make use of it, just never went high enough. All it did was send any apples and fish I was setting on fire to cook 50ft in the air 😅 learned my lesson 5x before I started cooking in caves only.
Primitive creatures. This is the industrial age! Get yourself an aeroplane. Don't be a commoner or beatnik with tired arms.
This may only work on grass... fuse a fire emitter to a spear, then jump-attack, so you stab the ground. Good for rapid in-combat elevation, may singe your toes.
Use gems for elemental shields that will immolate/freeze/shock your enemies when they hit you while you're blocking. Also, a sapphire shield will lower your temperature in hot environments, and a ruby shield will raise your temperature in cold areas, making those almost must need shields if you don't have cold/warm weather armor yet.
^This. Just don't fuse a ruby to a wooden shield like I did 😂
You can fuse elemental Like Stones to shields and get a good elemental attack with a shield parry. And they don't fetch as many rupees as gems do. :)
@@user-rn4jm7uh1t That's... Actually a good idea. I've been stocking those up for God knows why, I'm gonna swap to them instead. I'm assuming they provide the same benefits in temperate environments as well, no?
Regarding the vehicle lights: go with the Giant Brightbloom seeds instead. I rarely use them (I use the small ones to light up the Depths) so you'll likely have a good stockpile of them. They do not use up any energy, they have no weight, and just one of them is brighter than 2-3 of the smaller seeds.
Giant Blightbloom are slightly rarer and used for upgrading the Glow armor so I started conserving them once I realized
re: ascend
You can get on top of a Talus with ascend! Game changer with fighting them if you ask me.
With map markers, I actually make patterns using multiple stamps near eachother if I want to mark something highly specific.
Such as worldbosses: I'll leave multiple skull stamps instead of one if it's especially difficult, or pair a skull and a crystal to mark the location of a talus
If you organize those correctly, that could make your marker into a talus phallus
Yep, was a bit annoyed by the limit of markers until I realized that I could put heart+pot for apples or heart+diamond for trees. But you’d benefit from a notebook at that point haha
That was a good video but the tips are for extremely new players to the game. Here are some more advanced ones without any exploits:
1. When you approach a cave entrance a swarm of bats fly out. Hit them with a bomb arrow and you'll get about 20 eyes.
2. Mark mines, small enemy camps and bosses in the depths. These are the main source of zonite and are essential if you want full batteries and easier exploration at the surface. Don't leave the depths for end game. The central depth areas are not that hard.
3. If you want to fly for longer periods of time do not use wings as these last for about 2 minutes and then they disappear. Instead make a simple device with a wooden platform that you can then autobuild with the autobuilder with about 10-20 zonite.
4. Don't let your best weapons break. Octos are everywhere and they fully repair your weapons.
5. You can always gain height by attaching a bomb on your shield.
6. You can use ascent to get on top of a talus and easily beat it. Just go bellow its belly:D
7. Find the stable that is turned to a newspaper. This will unlock the fairy quest line for upgrades.
For the glider trick! Go completely still while on paraglider, then pause and then select wing, before unpausing hold forward on the control stick, unpause and then it will be right underneath you! Then you immediately put away your glider and you’ll land right on top, first try!
I have some BIG hints about how the depths work, but I do want to put SPOILER warning on this. As far I know, no NPC tells you this, and I can say figuring out how it works on my own was one of the profound and rewarding epiphanies I felt playing the game.
Minor SPOILERS first, as I give a hint: Look very carefully at the names of the shrines and the names of the lightroots. This is what clued me in to the whole thing...
OK, now full SPOILERS about the depths: so, I encountered a shrine called Teniten Shrine, and I made my stupid DENOUTTADEN jokes. Then some time later, I found a lightroot called Netinet Lightroot. Whoa...wait...why does that feel familiar...and why do I suddenly want to say NEDATTUONED?
Teniten Shrine...Netinet Lightroot...oh my god, they're backwards! Then I pulled out my map, and wow, I can see they stacked on top of each other.
Zooming out on the map and hitting up and down...oh my god, even with my low map completion at the time, I exclaimed how many of them overlap each other! And that's when I realized, every shrine on the surface has a lightroot corresponding to it in the depths, in the same x and y location. It's up to you, of course, to figure out the z.
This is HUGE revelation, because if you have a lightroot without a shrine or a shrine without a lightroot, you can place a marker and more easily track its counterpart. It won't ALWAYS be obvious because some shrines are hidden deep in caves, and again, you need to figure out the z location, but I can't tell you how much easier this made finding things and opening the maps up.
Now, reflect (pun intended) on the backwards naming convention, and then study the topography of both map, and you may be clued into another major epiphany about the depths...
That's right - the topography of the depths is, in GENERAL, a reflection of the surface. That is - anything that's a mountain in the surface is actually a crater in the depths, and vice-versa. This became blaringly obvious to me even after the shrine/lightroot revelation above as I visited Death Mountain and then did the Goron main quests...but maybe others won't visit Eldin quite as early as me, hence my tip.
This will totally change how you relate the depths and the surface. Suddenly, rivers on the surface (mild but traversable obstacles) become impassable walls. There's a particular shrine within a winding spiral on the beach on the surface, and that becomes a walled in mine of the same shape in the depths. How cool is that! Both encourage you to follow the spiral shape, but the mine is essentially required for you to run the gamut of the spiral.
Then, you'll realize how the devs managed to accomplish the ridiculous feat of developing an entirely separate Hyrule map in the depths - it's just a reflection of the main surface, shrines/lightroots and all.
But if you're like me, you won't be angry or disappointed - you'll be awed by the brilliance of this. Because yes, this was almost certainly a clever cost/time cutting measure, but its one that somehow ACTIVELY makes the game better. It rewards players for pattern recognition, and helps you conquer the seemingly hostile depths in tandem with your exploration on the surface. GENIUS.
It reminds me very much about the Light Word/Dark World relationship in Link to the Past/Link Between Worlds - though you don't have a Magic Mirror to take you back on a dime. Still, exploring the Light World and the Dark World in the "Link to the" games was done in tandem, and understanding how the worlds relate and their patterns was key.
This is THAT - done in full 3D, and without anyone ever telling you how it works. (Well, except me. But I really wanted to flap my gums about it, and I did warn you about spoilers.)
Bravo, Aonuma and team. Bravo.
Actually, npcs and clues about the lightroots & shrines being linked 1:1 are told to you in the Josha / Robbie quests if you bother to read :)😂
Just like the acorn / nut thing with the Labyrinths.
Reading in fundamental
@@zom8680 Well, maybe I just didn't get far enough with them before I figured it out on my own, haha.
I also haven't done any of the labyrinths in TotK yet, so thanks for the heads up.
6:54 I've always found the Hyrule Herbs super handy. First I thought they imparted 'bitterness' or something that hinders Link in a way but in fact they have no drawbacks. Unlike Apples & Mushrooms they recover a whole heart and are always about in any green grassy area.
Note about Hestu: I didn't find him anywhere in the wild. He just one day appeared in the outpost after i cleared all 4 temples. So if you don't find him, don't worry. He will appear in the outpost. You just have to get used to very tiny pockets for a while...
In regards to the Korok rock puzzles yea it’s easy to just drop a rock-fused weapon if you have one. However if you’re struggling to find the rock just remember that the rock you need will always be off in the direction of the missing rock from the ring.
I've been playing the game for a week now. I haven't done the 1st shrine yet. And yet it keeps me hooked. It is massive. It is addicting.
You can fuse a hover stone with an arrow while flying in order to create an instant platform
Regarding the depths, they are almost an exact inverse of the hyrule map. Mountains turn into valleys and vice-versa. This can make the depths easier to navigate by switching your minimap to view hyrule while down below. (You can do this by switching your map in the map screen)
If you’re in freezing cold and dont have food to stay warm, fuse a ruby to a weapon and have it equipped and it will keep you warm.
Or better yet, fuse it to a shield. This way if the weapon breaks or you have to switch out, you’ll still get the benefit of the ruby.
my personal most important tips aftzer roughly 160 hours in:
take a picture of a treasure chest and change your sensor to them in the undergorund and in caves.
make simple and cheap traversal devices, safe them as favourites in ultrahand , for example a rocket on a 1x2 plank, or a flying device with 2 fans and a control stick
Goodmorning everyone I hope your all enjoying your play though 🎉❤
The first point is spot on lol. I have a second screen so I open an excel sheet on my PC and record the locations of interest and what's there (like mini boss locations, armor chests, old maps, Hudson signs, etc), as well as info from NPCs that are not in the mini quests.
7:28 the reason you survived that is because of the "anti one-shot" mechanic that was passed down from botw to totk. if you're at full health, almost nothing can one-shot you and will instead leave you with a quarter of a heart left.
Offer an apple to the altar in the sakura tree. It will reveal the caves around.
If you have ten hearts go get the fifth sage asap.
Part of me wishes that we didn't have access to the internet because finding everything and asking friends what they have found is so fun. For the most part my friends and I are trying to do it without looking up anything and it's just really fun discussing what we've found and done in the game. I think everyone should have that experience tbh
That's social media for ya
Hell no. The games broken in some areas where the missions don’t even tell you where to go lol. I’m close to beating it but I wouldn’t of made it a quarter to where I’m at without TH-cam.
you're definitely right, it makes it more fun and memorable. but for me if i'm stuck on something and i'm frustrated to the point where i dont wanna play the game i look up what to do
all my friends are much further then i am because i have work, and i wanted to experience things myself so i can't really talk to them because they have flappy lips lol
Zion talking about not using light roots is great. But I’m too much of a wimp. The only thing I’ve done in the depths is just light it up (and the temples)
100 hours in and I’ve hardly touched the depths outside of story stuff. This game is awesome!
To use the Zonai Wing Glider in the air (more comfortable in Pro Controller):
1. Fall vertically with your (para)glider (don't move forward)
2. Hold D-Pad UP to select Zonai Wing Glider (sort by Zonai Devices)
3. While holding D-Pad UP now also move UP in the Left Joystick with your thumb knuckle
4. Drop the Wing Glider with X, you should be moving a bit forward with your Glider
5. Time the moment to soon press B to cancel your gliding and drop on top of the Wing Glider
I love doing this, it's so satisfying
I found, when battling a Battle Talus, it’s best to throw a fire fruit on the ground to paraglide up to it, making it easier to take down the enemies and the talus.
I really enjoy these types of videos. I usually know the bulk of them but there is always a gem I didn’t know. Keep ‘em coming.
Midair wing tutorial (courtesy of Limcube): while paragliding let go of the stick, bring up the item menu, while on the item menu hold forward on the stick, drop wing, close menu, then time when to drop down onto the wing. You will need to do a kind of claw grip for this.
The statue to switch hearts with stamina is under Lookout Landing as well! You get a prompt from the lady sweeping in the area where the bed/cooking pot is!
So interesting to me that even the rain/slipping is systems-based insted of just on/off. I don't know if BOTW was like that but I have also noticed that, for example, icy surfaces make you slip even more than rain does.
I think that’s because they introduced ways to deal with slick surfaces in Tears of the Kingdom. Just as there are different levels of heat and cold, there are now different levels of slippage.
My tip for combat is Puffshrooms are overpowered trust me use them and collect them when you see them.
Facts, also bombs on shields.
So true. I accidentally threw one at an enemy and it was SO helpful.
You can really gain the upper hand on stronger enemies so easily with it.
Maybe old news but remember the duplex bow and lynel bow the shoot x2 and x3 arrows? Well any item fused to an arrow only uses 1 so you get 2 or 3 for the price of 1.
It's great for exploring the depths for example, with lightbloom seeds getting up to triple the light, or eyeballs for a homing triple headshot
This video was great. I hardly ever comment on videos, but great job
Farm tons of kees eyes and always break box for free arrow or roasted meal, really help a lot
I've found that clean, symmetrical builds are worth the patience- odd placement of fans will make your flight veer, for instance, and you waste a bit of energy correcting.
Starting up with the good-old pen & paper is very nice. I remember doing that on an old game. It is quite refreshing.
Don't be afraid to use your resources. That's my first tip. My second tip is to don't be afraid to change things up. I don't know how many times I've pivoted it to another challenge or task because I happened to have trouble with another one
Already beat the game twice and I'm still exploring it and finding new quests or situations.
Didn’t want to watch anything on TotK until I was super far in. I’ve logged maybe close to 180 hrs now (still not done though lol) - the wing glider trick with recall is GENIUS. How did I not think of that?! Here I was, just wasting carts willy nilly. What a game!!!!
Attaching two Bokoblin arms together? Sounds super handy!
Capsule dispensers take other Zonai parts too, not just charges. If you find yourself in possession of an excess number of construct parts, you can throw those in too. You'll only ever get one capsule per part, but it's a way to dispose of the Soldier Construct I horns without wasting them.
You should save your bomb flowers for battle. A good "spear cannon" works awesome for clearing mines.
Very much appreciate the spoiler warning graphics with the nuance, amazing video ❤
Fusing something to a skeleton arm WILL actually make it a bit less fragile. Fusing something to it adds 3 extra durability. Not much, but it's something. Rusted weapons also get +10 added to their Durability while all other weapons get +25!
I get so distracted doing anything. I keep running across a new cave, a new side quest etc. But I am having a blast being distracted.
This is the most addicting game since Elden Ring. I’m pretty sure it has double the content too
Thank you!!! Me and my dad has been starting to play this game and we love it 😍 we always loved zelda and played every zelda game so this is huge for us 😂❤
I take screenshots when there's info that I need to remember.
You can also just use a heavy weapon aka the ones that do just two swings to knock enemies into the water. That is the most resource efficient way & doesn't require you to keep a crappy fan type fuse on your weapon. Was also very effective in the 1st game as well.
I think the coolest part about this game is what also makes it harder than BOTW. Puzzles can be a lot less straightforward. You often have to think experimentally to do something.
I just did one shrine with this rotating wheel and two fans. Once I solved the shrine itself, I was left wondering how I get up to the chest on a high platform. So I ended up pulling off a fan, putting it against the platform, using ultra hand to lift it up, let it fall, get on, then use recall to rise up. The sheer finicky nature of trying to get Link to jump onto one of those fans leaves me wondering if that's the intended solution, but it certainly felt like I had come up with something. That's really amazing game design.
well explained subscribed
thank you for not adding spoilers
BIG BRAIN TIPS:
If u are running out of battery mid flight, dont waste zonaite charges, all u need to do is just deploy a temporary cooking pod, cook a meal. After u cooked a meal, ur battery will be refilled, i dk is this intended or a bug. Or just use recall on ur flying devices mid flight, ur battery will be refilled.
I have learned a lot from here thanks.
But i am gonna try this game again , but thanks so much for the help.
Great idea with the leaf marker 👍
Great video that I'll come back to! Haven't gotten the camera yet
Can confirm: Zelda eats Ganondorf in this game.
thanks for notifying us about potential spoilers
many on this site don't consider this
When climbing in the rain, just pop a Sticky frog elixir dude, they're fairly common and can avoid you waiting for the rain to pass, or finding a little nook to climb
Really great video. I finally got a switch and freakin love this game but I decided to play this first before breath of the wild so is it worth it to get any amiibos or are they better if I used them first in BOTW?
I knew the arm reminded me of something. You were spot on with the princess Mononoke reference.
A certain robot is very useful later game for breaking mineral deposits and boxes. Doesn't send everything flying like a certain other ability or bombs
Are there more than two types of ingredients (sunbloom or whatever it's called and these special pumpkins) for healing gloom damage?
Don't want to say much for spoilers, but do the quest for Josha which involves following the statues to a facility in the chasms. Aside from an ability, it frees up Robbie from his duties at Landing Point, allowing him to go to the lab at Hateno Village and offer the Purah Pad upgrades to get the sensor and its improved version.
You may steer clear of the labyrinth challenges this time around but they are actually quite cool and rewarding this time.
And it pays off for reading the journals at the beginning.
The journal literally tells you to follow the nuts / acorns that Tauro (researcher guy from Kakariko) left and it leads you right to the center.
So long as IF you are collecting as you run last them, you finish the route. They lead you right to the end.
When doing the air segment, track the quest and it puts the 4 consoles on your map so you have a general idea where they are
And then of course, if you dont have the sky dive outfit at rank 2 or above know to slow down as you get the deep horn sound effect of entering the depths as the floor in the underground section leading to the boss is actually higher than the lights indicate.
Save your a silly death
Also dont be like me and forget to activate / complete the shrine in the land sections.
Theres always a shrine in the land and air. Which technically if you approach by air first you have a pretty nifty warp point as its on the "space" altitudes which gives a good jumping point for specific dragons.
Akkala one for example is perfect for jumping onto Dinraal
I love how they gave a story to the land portion of the Labyrinth that de-emphasized that part of the puzzle and focused you to the new portions of it. Broke up a bit of the monotony of doing them again
I always keep a healthy supply of Large Zonai Charges, combined with Zonai Armor for all of my Zonai builds, and for the most part use regular charges for dispensers, unless I need a lot of a part
In this game you gotta Fuse two or three icons to create a proper "Icon System".
Mine so far:
- I use 3 stars in a triangle for Geoglyphs. (Be sure to always fully zoom in, so they are close enough that they look like 1 icon from far away).
- 1 star for places I want to go. I see from far away, looks cool in the map, or I know is good, etc.
- I put a star fused with a mine if it is a 'mine' I saw from far away.
- Or a star plus a heart right below if it is a 'place' I saw, liked, but want to come back, or I saw from the distance, or if I do know it (from BofW) and want to go, like my house in Hateno or Terry Town, or that shield surfing place in a snowy mountain.
- If I already went, and it is indeed good, I remove the star, and leave the heart if I trully liked the place, or the mine if it is a good mine, etc.
- Monsters I beated I put 2 monster icons, one just right below the other (while zooming-in).
- If I loved it but haven't beat it, 1 monster icon + 1 heart icon right below.
- If I saw it from far, and want to come back I put just 1 monster.
- Some good mini-bosses I liked I put 2 monsters and 1 heart in a triangle. (2 monsters for having beat it and 1 heart for liking it or wanting to come back).
- Koroks I want to do (as you guys said) are a leaf. If done, I remove the icon. If I loved it, I put a heart just below the default korok icon.
- Fairies are going to be 3 leafs (like in BofW) although they have a little default icon as well.
- Important NPCs are obviously the person icon, but the idea is to try to clear them all. (I don't start too many side quests, but I'm doing the construction guy now (for whom I have mixed feelings) but if I don't have the time I leave a person icon. Same with that bird in horse stables when still not done.
- Shrines are obviously the diamond. Remove it when reaching them.
- Oh, caves are the pot icon. I don't mark real pots, just know them. Wells are pots as well plus the default icon when reached. If done, I remove the icon.
- If I loved it, I leave a heart below the default well (like Zelda's I just reached today) removing the pot.
- I still don't know what to do with towers, I had just pin them and go asap.
AND SO FAR.
Edit: - Cherry Blossoms will be 3 mine icons in triangle shape (that look almost like 1 while zoomed-out). I guess there aren't too many mines in the surface either.
- Towers can be 3 diamond icons in triangle.
To guarantee landing on the wing so you can chain them is once it runs out you pull out your glider and then stop your forward momentum, pull the new glider out and when you exit the menu start going forward again and then stop gliding and you should land on it every time
Using a yellow pad has been a thing for me since the old Sierra-Online days where puzzles run amock in games like King's Quest, Space Quest, Quest for Glory, etc.
Way ahead of ya, buddy :3
For the wing glider drop in mid air, it’s best to look down before dropping. The drop of the wingglider is dependent on where your camera is pointed at
Pro Tip: Poes are very plentiful. You cam exchange 150 poes at the Bargainer statue for a Dark Tunic, which is worth 600 rupees if sold to Cece. This is a nice way to exchange the poes you wont use for a very nice chunk of change, and will work as many times as you try
great tips! One I have that I've used extensively, if you're like me you'll collect tons of poes w/ nothing worth spending them on. But after you find more armor sets, you can repurchase those w/ poes. 150 poes for 600 rupees, that is a steal!
While fighting a Frox, when he does the SUCC you can fire a cannon shot into its mouth and he will chew and explode as if it were a Bomb Flower, allowing you to save Bomb Flowers for something else. This is done by fusing a Zonai Cannon to a weapon or shield and firing right before SUCC starts
You can also throw a brightbloom, he'll chew on it for a little while
@@nicholasalexander6358You can feed it most things, but explosives are preferable as it knocks the Frox out completely
Moblin and horriblin horns make excellent replacements for rocks. Even lowest level variants.
Whenever I find a shrine in the over world, I check my depths map if I lit that area and then I add the Diamond stamp so I can have an idea of where to go when I go back down there
Vice versa when I find a light root but haven’t found the shrine
I just finished the wind temple the other day. I've done the water temple too. I have 435 hours in the game and most has just been exploring. I actually have over half the korok seeds too and I don't have the korok mask yet
I've been exploring like a madman for days and only yesterday realized I could use Zonai charges at dispensers. It was an awesome surprise when I put in 5 and got 12 capsules. I didn't even think about the large charges... holy crap that's an incredible payoff at 60 for 5!
Great Video!❤❤❤
you just made me realize that links arm exactly like ashitaka from princess mononoke where his arm was posessed by a demon and needed healing which was healed by a fairy which in this case is the dude at the start of game in totk
When fighting Flux Constructs use ultra hand to pull blocks away from the construct. After about five blocks the construct will fall apart leaving you to attack the weak box, start with the hands first so he can’t smack you. When the construct goes into the sky and shoots blocks at you dodge and hit the nearest box with recall before hoping on, you will ride the block back to the top of the construct right where the weak block is and can attack it.
* Stock up on Puffshrooms and Dazzlefruits. They're especially helpful with mobs of any size.
* You've probably seen one or two instances where there's a wall between a horde of constructs and bokoblins. Let. them. fight. Burn down the typically-wooden wall and let them fight it out before you swoop in.
* Goes without saying: go in on any hard battles with full hearts. Getting hit with a fatal blow without full hearts kills you; otherwise, the game "saves" you with 1/4th heart left.
