Topic: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

@WoomyNNYes Yes it was me who made the thread, but, sorry I deleted it. Anyway, yes, I got the elixirs on my way to the volcano, and just finished the rest all by myself - last Divine Beast reclaimed! Also got the Master Sword. All there is left for me now are finding memories and the last boss at Hyrule Castle to confront.

@Rambler Hey, you! Just wanted to say, cool Midna avatar you have there. I like her very much.

Currently I am trying to farm Guardians in order to get the Ancient Set and some Rupees to buy Ancient Arrows.

Do you guys have ANY tips on facing Ganon? I am yet to enter Hyrule Castle.

@Zuljaras get as many arrows as you can. That's my Ganon pro tip.

@Kermit1 I was afraid of that Everything is so expensive!

@AshleyGamer1995 Have you explored the castle yet? I've noticed many people don't try to explore the castle because they believe it will automaticlally trigger final ganon boss battle, but it actually doesn't. There's a whole big area in there to explore... and there are.... THINGS in there, helpful cool things. It's so cool in there! If you have snuck into the castle aready, then disregard.

@Zuljaras If you want a faster way of getting them there are videos on YouTube of how to farm them. It takes time but not Rupees

@Kermit1 I will I want to beat Ganon and move to other games!

@Zuljaras beating Ganon in BOTW feels so good, he's pretty much a mini Dark Souls boss in a way lol.

@Zuljaras master sword and tons of elixirs/food. I've beaten him 3 times and it's not all that hard or bad. But, it's my favorite showdown in the entire series. Love the entire lead up going through hyrule castle. Savor it while you can!

@WoomyNNYes No, I didn't choose to go to the castle at any time in the game, until claiming all four Divine Beasts. I started going there after this, went through the entrance gate...but immediately left because I needed to get the memories unlocked first. Thanks for letting me know the inside of the castle is cool, and the things to find in it. I will be doing that at some point. Although, wouldn't it be wise to get more Heart Containers for the final boss battle? I have 13 right now, not including temporary hearts.

Wonder if other people like Midna as I do on same level. I know this topic isn't about Twilight Princess, but still Zelda way. I even saw one fanart of Midna having this Breath of the Wild design, on DeviantArt, even though she still looks the same.

@AshleyGamer1995 Oh, my friend. No, going to the castle does not trigger final boss fight. While that would be logical, that's not the case with BOTW. It's like a whole world in there, and there are some useful things there. In order to fight ganon, you'd have to find THE ROOM. ....AND, you'd have walk into it. You will KNOW it when you see it.🤣 Even if you triggered the boss fight by mistake (I don't' think you will), you can always load a previous save point to get out of there.

Regarding needing a good amount of heart containers. You don't need to worry about it. If needed, you can cook radishes for temporary extra heart containers. Cooking a hearty radishes gives three temporary extra hearts. You'll lose those extra when you get hit, but you can cook a bunch of radishes, and keep them on hand to eat & get temporary heart containers over and over. If you haven't cooked radishes by themselves before, test it out. Cook 2-5 Large Hearty Radishes and see what happens. 🤣 LOL. I often set the in-game finder thing for radishes.

I usually try to keep about 8-15 cooked radishes on hand all the time, just in case I ever have to deal the a tough boss or Lynel.

As a side note: Are aware of how many Fairy Fountains there are? There are four in BOTW. The number of times you can upgrade your armor depends on how many fairy fountains you've found. The max you can upgrade your armor is 4 times. You can make yourself OP if you want. Granted, upgrading armor does require supplies (the fairy will show you what's needed). Supplies may take a bit of grinding, but if you want something else to do, you can upgrade your favorite armor.

@WoomyNNYes Thanks again. I think that's enough advice now. I have met half of the Great Fairies already too, and got some of the favourite armour enhanced, including Champion's Tunic.

Breath of the Wild is beaten

I really, REALLY loved it! Amazing game!

I actually did not need a single ancient arrow. I just used the Master Sword, Urbosa's Fury, Daruk's Protection and meals to beat Ganon

The journey was fantastic

@Zuljaras
Did you play in Master Mode or normal mode. Either way, glad you enjoyed it. Right in time for TOTK as well.

@Zuljaras if you really want a challenge try beating Ganon with a mop. It's possible lol.

@blindsquarel Just a normal first playthrough
@Kermit1 Nope Not ready for challenges

I enjoyed the game in a very casual way It is the very first game that I got with my Switch in September 2017. I played a little and then stopped but with the coming of TotK I decided to start fresh and beat Ganon

And I read that the world was empty etc. ... it is a wild world ... not everything has to be near each other. No wonder why it got the GotY award. SO much love went into making it! And I beat it on version 1.0 no updates or anything.

@WoomyNNYes I did it! I defeated Calamity Ganon and finished the game! He wasn't as hard as that Thunderblight Ganon boss, that's for sure. ^^' XD

@AshleyGamer1995 You beat it already!? ..... Ahhh, so you found THE ROOM at the castle! (where the Ganon fight starts). I thought, for sure, you'd spend a while exploring the castle area. It's so cool and moody, I LOVE IT. .....The Hylian shield is lurking in the castle. Did you find the shield?

The final battle is kind of epic. I liked it. Congratulations! Such a cool game. Glad you were able to finish it.

So, are you pretty much done with the game? Or are you going to try do anything else, like complete all shrines?
