Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

So this is pretty cool, not sure if it's been covered here or not but hey, share the love, that's what I always say!

Also, just to clarify, not my work!

And for those who don't wish to watch a 2 min video, to recharge the master sword instantly - when you get a notification that the master sword is running low on energy, fast travel to the trials of the master sword, enter any trial and then warp out.
Voila, master sword recharged.

@G0dlike "Starting and leaving the Trial of the Sword automatically recharges your Master Sword."

There, I just saved everyone two minutes of video-watching. There's really no reason to see it played out.

Wow! Just trying to give credit and a few hits to the guy who took time to make the video!!! @Nicolai

@G0dlike I guess I don't think the video deserved credit. I just see way too many clickbait Breath of the Wild videos with little content. Many of them have titles like "What happens when you ________," and the answer ends up being nothing. I guess your video was useful information, but it led me to believe that I actually had to be shown how to do it, so I stuck with it till the end, only to find out that it was intuitive and unnecessary. For a 2 minute video, it sure felt like it took a long time.

I might say condense the video, but if it's already only two minutes, I'd say such information doesn't belong in a standalone video. Maybe an article, or a list of ten cool tricks.

Fair enough, I actually agree with what you are saying about BoTw click bait. Just to clarify, the video wasn't created, edited or uploaded by me, it literally has nothing to do with me whatsoever. I just, personally, found it quite insightful and just wanted to share it with the community. @Nicolai

Did anyone else find the Beginning Trials way more difficult than the Middle Trials? I died several times in the beginning ones, but I breezed through the middle ones without dying once.

@G0dlike Oh, that's good! If it was actually made by you, I would have felt terrible! But posting your own videos is frowned upon on this site anyway, so I assumed it wasn't.

Apparently little o'l mii rather start Mustard mode then find all the seeds and finish the rest of normal mode...SO BE IT?, welp I killed my first Lynel earlier, no deaths so far for o'l undead.

So I've been really busy and I had a lofty goal of getting all the shrines before getting to Ganon but I just decided to go in the Sanctum on my lunch break. OH MY GOODNESS. I remember this feeling, this sense of giddy anxiety that makes my heart race and an involuntary grin break out on my face. The first time I felt it was OoT after listening to Ganon taunt me with his organ playing as I made my way to his inner sanctum.

I love that they seamlessly merged the mythos of man and malice... and that ganon just said "screw it" on reincarnating. I think he decided that since he failed at being a king as both Demise and as Ganondorf that now he was just gonna kill everybody. It also makes me wonder if ganon infected a stillborn Gerudo male and made him into Ganondorf (since the red hair thing is a hold over from Demise) or if he just forced a Gerudo expecting a child to give birth to him. Either way Urbosa's disdain for him is extra poignant now. I made it to the horseback portion before my lunch ended but wow I am just blown away so far.

Edit: Took a quick break and finished it...DO NOT MESS WITH HYLIA...um I mean Zelda. Well done Aonuma-san and co, well done.

Haha, you should really do the final boss in one go...

I began BotW yesterday and it's been great! The only problem is getting used to the controls - I keep pressing B to attack instead of X, I shouldn't have replayed the older games before this one.

Does anyone have tips on exploring (specifically discovering places you previously have not explored) without the use of Hero's Path? I would really like to explore every bit of the world. The Hero's Path would've been super useful, but I don't want to spend money on the DLC just for that feature. Has anyone tried exploring the world and keeping track of where they have/haven't been without the Hero's Path (like before The Master Trials DLC came out)?

@MegaTen That association with the earlier games is deliberate. Although I'm still firmly in the camp of Zelda has always been open world, just limited by tech and BOTW while FANTASTIC isn't anything new to the series...its just bigger and more refined. Reminds me of the switch presentation when they stated the hardware designers took all of the previous Nintendo systems and drew inspiration from them. Honestly I'm fairly certain that is why I love the Switch so much; like BOTW I can see the influences of its past but it has come together into a very refined, cohesive, modern package.

@shadow-wolf I just move through the map in zones. I wander all over one section and then once I'm done/bored I head to another section and do it all over again. Plus I use the stamps for everything.

A Zelda-Themed Nintendo Switch Case To Rule Them All

Ninety two shrines and 168 Korok Seeds found, I decided to make my way towards Hyrule Castle and take on Ganon. Fun game!! Now that I've seen the ending I'm going back and doing some unfinished sidequests and upgrading. Hoping to get the DLC once payday gets here.

@shadow-wolf You could always print out a map and cross off where you've been. I never got DLC, so I don't know what Hero's path is, but I also enjoyed exploring the world. Found some pretty neat places that I don't think would of ever been found without aimless wandering.

@KirbyTheVampire Yep! Especially in Master Mode. The beginner Trials are by far the hardest since you get weaker weapons and less food. Floor 10 on master mode you must use the sneak strike method on one of the Lizalfos, and the "Hit 3 times, then zap em with the thunderod, repeat, spin for the win technique." on the other one. After Floor 10 beginner the trials get easier as you go

So far Master Mode has been made pretty easy by Majoras mask. What a great over powered item that is.

So far only wizrobes and guardians have attacked me.
