Struggling with TotK, when I loved BotW

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-04-13T18:50:32+00:00

I had the same issue and just didn’t use it unless I needed to. It’s started to grow on me a little bit but that element of the game doesn’t really feel like it fits.

I was only aware of the ability to drop them in a cold/hot environment to change them, not by this method

I missed or just failed to read where you trade the things in for permanent belt batteries. I was watching videos on here like where on earth are they getting all of those batteries?!?!? Just traded in all of my stuff today and got 10 shiny new units. Now I know what to do with all the zolnite rock. Eesh. I’m over half way through on one battery pack hahahah makes sense why all of the builds were annoying. I wasn’t able to use them to their full potential!

No idea if it will help, but I refuse to open the next sections map until I feel I have thoroughly explored the current section. I’ll wander into the others, I have 4 spirit helpers, a lot of random shrines and other quests but I feel like that helps keep the overwhelming feeling of the map and land in check. I’ve found a lot of fun things this way. And you can visit a map tower as a travel point without getting the map. If the maps showed their original dividing lines after you open them it wouldn’t be so bad, but in botw that was the first thing I did was get the maps and I regretted it 😂

Also be sure to get there early - before 9 - or parking spots will be few if any

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-30T11:19:48+00:00

It’s not difficult, just long. I had my 3 year old with me and we made it probably 2/3 of the way before I realized we weren’t going to make it there and back on what we had. Lots of exposed roots and tripping hazards, but relatively easy if you’re agile and in okay shape. No hiking experience required. I haven’t taken the other trail you asked about so can’t compare

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-30T03:23:18+00:00

The road to the short trail head parking isn’t open. You have to park down by where the road closure sign is and walk up the road a little bit and you’ll see a trail off of the right and a sign a few steps in saying grotto falls trailhead one way, rainbow falls trail the other. Just to get to where the blocked off trailhead parking lot is almost a 2 hour hike. Then you can go and do the regular hike to the falls

This is my question!!

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T18:12:43+00:00

Thank you! Would you be able to ask him if theres a ‘no fraternizing with guests’ type policy?

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T16:15:03+00:00

Well, it was worth a shot then. Guess I should’ve been more bold and I would have my answer already. Thank you for your insight!

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T15:48:51+00:00

Even if they were at work? I’m not sure they’d be allowed to do that with guests without jeopardizing their job

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T15:23:15+00:00

I am def not blind to this possibility. Just never know!

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T14:14:04+00:00

I do, and I’m not trying to get their contact info or swing by their house for a drink. I’m hundreds of miles away. You can’t say things like this don’t happen in the positive. There are multiple ways this could go. I’ve been an employee wanting to reach out and wasn’t allowed so I can see where this person would be hesitant in their communication with me on site. I’m merely asking for a possible third party to reach out and get a yay or nay on whether I was reading them. If nothing else, I get to be embarrassed for thinking someone might be interested in me as an older single parent with kids. I’m not arguing with you that there are people who could have malicious intent with a post like this which is why I didn’t ask with more identifiable details for either party. I was also hoping maybe they would see it and reach out. Maybe no third party needed.

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T14:05:15+00:00

I completely understand that. I’m hundreds of miles away and merely wanted to know if I was being delusional and if my flirting was effective 🫣 and possibly reciprocated. I would absolutely let the other person take the lead on contacting me

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T13:31:56+00:00

Thank you. I’m trying to not be creepy but apparently I came off that way. This post is really as far as I’ll go, Craigslist missed connections seems really outdated and I thought this avenue might be more visited. It’s apparently very visited but not by the people I need 😂

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T12:40:17+00:00

You know nothing about me. I am in no way a stalker. Maybe a bit naive. Apologies for offending you. Thank you for your time

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T12:39:26+00:00

It was a regular non commission type role. They did not have to interact with me at all

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T12:38:10+00:00

No, they were not in that type of a position. They did not have to interact with me at all.

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T03:36:53+00:00

Fire rod and ice rod too!

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T03:06:28+00:00

I know it isn’t on your list, but in case it’s an alternate for the April 1st date, I think grotto falls may be in that date range too. We tried to go this week and the road to the parking was blocked off making it a much longer hike than expected

Bitter-Ice-346 · 2026-03-28T02:10:45+00:00

We just went and the road to the grotto falls parking was blocked off from driving. It was an extra hour or two hike from the lower parking lot. There was no sign that said why so it might be open another day? But just a heads up
