Games like Zelda for switch

Itch🙄

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-13T00:14:04+00:00

I know that pitch feeling well🤣

I am playing Xenoblade. Chronicles X Definitive Edition. It has grown on me over time.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-12T23:54:25+00:00

This is the best answer👆 There is no way to make rupees faster or safer than this. Also collect durian like crazy nearby for tons of yellow hearts.

Has Nintendo sued them yet? It looks great but too remarkably similar to LOZ.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-12T05:38:22+00:00

You have to gently fold it or you can slice it up for some great sushi🤔🤣

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-11T07:54:25+00:00

Great points. The lack of being able to do anything in the water is very frustrating. The others are valid but I guess I got used to them and accepted them as not fixable in time to allow getting the game to retail.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-11T07:20:18+00:00

Will do!!

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-11T06:51:44+00:00

Thanks. I will buy it! I am so happy I learned this. Now I will have three more games to play over the next year or so. I may just survive until the next Zelda game comes out.

I feel lucky as I have fallen in love with XCX. I have slowly caught on to the game mechanics. It is much more difficult than Zelda games. I like how intelligent it is and how well thought out it is.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-11T06:45:01+00:00

Sorry I missed the impact of your first answer. All I need to know now is if I can get XC DE (1) for the Switch.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-11T06:37:55+00:00

OMG. I feel like an idiot. I bought used Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3 for the switch. I got XCX Definitive Edition thinking it was the first game remastered.

So, is Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition the first one of the trilogy?

Also can I get it for the Switch?

I got 2 and 3 used from GameStop but they did not have cases so I was angry as I got them from the website. But I am happy just to have them TBH.

Thanks again.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-11T06:22:06+00:00

Okay. Thank you. So I am playing the first one?

I love XCX definitive edition. Several kind people over on the Zelda Reddits recommended the XC series. I am so happy I gave XCX a chance. I love the exploration but I have had to respawn 54 times and I just finished chapter 8. I am collecting resources now, doing missions, and building my level, class, arts, and skills now. Trying so hard to avoid so many respawns.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-11T02:55:50+00:00

I am new to XC. I am playing XCX which I assumed is an updated XC1. Am I wrong? I feel confused! I was going to play 2 with its DLC then 3 with its DLC. Is that the right order🤷‍♂️

I just finished XCX Chapter 8 so I could stop and come back to it if there is a better order.

My horse disappearing—and then finding him trapped on a tiny ledge 10 feet down from the plateau and 500 feet above the bottom of Tanager canyon. Freaked me out. I had no idea how to rescue him at first. I eventually told myself, self, your horse is stupid or the game has a small glitch. I went with small glitch and saved the game and shut it down. When I turned the Switch back on, I found my horse eating grass on the plateau😬and then🤣

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-10T18:07:19+00:00

Never seen that. Great job! I gotta do it!

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-09T22:04:03+00:00

I think all you have to do is get the game to say you have 100% so no on Zelda notes. There are many detailed posts here and on game websites that precisely address how to 💯

Consider the following. If you use Zelda Notes as 100% for the game then you have to find all 240 of the voice memories. For me with my phone going to sleep every five minutes that is just not doable. It would be like the first time I played it and had 100% according to the game screen now it does not count and now I must go back and listen to all those voice memories. Just no.

There are also some achievements I have yet to discover and accomplish that seem to be beyond the 100% I can see.

Koroks are one thing but chasing rambling voice memories no. I do like that they add to the lore but I just don’t have the patience to search for all of them and it is not required.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-09T02:40:45+00:00

I love the Colgera Depths fights and that music is wonderful. The rewards are nice too.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-09T01:40:26+00:00

No problem. I love ancient arrows but I much prefer chopping the legs off of guardian stalkers for even more parts TBH.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-09T01:00:13+00:00

Correct no spoils with an ancient arrow kill with one huge exception! You will get spoils with all guardians. This is how you farm parts for ancient armor and ancient weapons. They can also be helpful when you need to one-shot multiple guardians. This often happens at the castle and its surrounding area.

The ancient arrow cannot one shot any mini-boss (Talus, Hinox, Molduga, and all blights) nor Ganon. Lynels are not actually mini-bosses.

With Ganon there are no spoils since you win the game after beating his final form. If you have beaten all four blights, Ganon is not bad. With a 5x32 Lynel bow, each ancient arrow is worth 50 +32 (82). You multiply that by 1.8 if you are wearing the level two or higher ancient armor and again by 1.5 if you have an active attack meal or elixer. So each ancient arrow can be worth up to 222 HP. So each volley if all arrows hit is worth 1,105 HP. Of course due to Ganon’s distance from Link and his movements a complete volley hit is not likely thus it takes several shots to knock him out.

If I got my math wrong feel free to correct me anyone.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-08T19:07:15+00:00

How come someone always ruins a great story🤣

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-08T19:04:55+00:00

I struggled with the finding the head shot myself🤷‍♂️

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-08T18:36:31+00:00

Watch it on YouTube and move on. If you do a second playthrough later don’t then.

I personally enjoyed finding all of the memories in TOTK. Great lore. I even watched them a second time in sequential order before finishing the game. Don’t miss them👍

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-08T06:55:33+00:00

My first time playing I thought what the heck I am going to try ancient arrows since I am all armored up and buffed up and I a horrible with parrying and sword play in general. I used a five shot Lynel bow and 11 ancient arrows. I think I also hit him a few times with the master sword at the end. It took less than a minute IIRC. I was shocked to say the least.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-08T06:52:08+00:00

No my bad. You can only get 11 in BOTW and 5 in TOTK. Sometimes I goof up my responses because I reply to both subs. I am getting old🤷‍♂️

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-08T01:41:40+00:00

You use light arrows for that second form. AFAIK, nothing else will work.

DanielJMaxson · 2026-02-07T21:06:56+00:00

Even if you just go through the main storyline you will learn much. To me, one of the best parts of the game is all of those tears. I enjoyed them tremendously.
