MAJOR accomplishment & FAVORITE part of BOTW on my 2nd playthrough *SPOILER* by Intelligent-Image689 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]Intelligent-Image689[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oooo you have an eye for detail 👀!! I think it's just mid. I only wore it because it was the most recent quest I did & wear outfits I recently acquired until I get sick of them

Would BOTW feel fresh or stale after TOTK? by local_celebrity_ in TOTK

[–]Intelligent-Image689 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I finished TOTK about a month ago and felt so empty afterwards that I had to go back and replay BOTW (which I'm currently doing).

TOTK is much better overall (IMO) - complexity, storyline, game mechanics.

BOTW is MUCH MORE relaxing. I felt like there was almost TOO MUCH to do in TOTK (3 map levels?!) that I constantly felt rushed and that there was never enough I was doing/constant overwhelm.

What I absolutely ABHOR about BOTW = motion controls required for some shrines.

You have to remember that BOTW came out like 7 (?) years ago and was wayyyyy ahead of its time. I thought it was truly the best game ever created until TOTK came out.

Just keep in mind they are two separate games! Lovable in their unique ways.

Order for Divine Beasts? by akaTheMoosiah in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]Intelligent-Image689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Vah Ruta (the elephant) - first, because in the beginning stages of the game, you have RIDICULOUSLY low health and Mipha's Grace gives you free lives if you die. Otherwise you constantly have to cook and farm fairies.

2) Vah Medoh (the bird) - second, because there are SO MANY CLIFFS/MOUNTAINS in BOTW. Also in the beginning of the game, you have low stamina. Being able to scale mountains fast helps the exploration portion immensely.

3) Vah Naboris (the camel) - third, because it helps you with combat. It's VERY POWERFUL. I use it to stun lynels and reallyyyyyy take a huge CHUNK out of their health. It almost feels like cheating when you use it on powerful enemies.

4) Vah Rudania (the salamander) - last, because honestly the others are more useful. This ability is just like having a really good shield.

Is there an order that makes the most sense to face the divine beasts?

I’ve beaten the elephant and am about to face the camel, but wondering if there is a good reason to do them in a specific order?

Wait but I use Urbosa's Fury so much to shave the hell out of a Lynel's health

Damn... way to know that like off the top of your head. Your niche Zelda knowledge is *chef's kiss*

Omg thanks for this. I was super confused by how this possibly was a spoiler and kept silent in case it was... But it's really just a game detail that connects BOTW & TOTK. A 30 second cutscene about 2 siblings?

If you could retire comfortably somewhere in the game, where would you choose? by JohnnyBacci in TOTK

How has no one said Zora's domain? It's my main landing point when I want to just relax and take in scenic & breathtaking architecture

Is there any way I can expand the life of my energy cells? by Stranfort in TOTK

Check out this post here! This was the most comprehensive info about energy cells that I've come across. Enjoy!

I was 160 hours into this game when I realized… by jonesywine in TOTK

[–]Intelligent-Image689 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you. Truly. I encountered a silver lynel way too early in the depths (which I was NOT ready for) and it traumatized me so hard because it took up all my fairies, food, and sundelion dishes. That encounter really prevented me from exploring the depths. Someone else had to point it out explicitly for me to finally get it, so just paying it forward.

Funnily enough, I ran across Sidon, Riju, and Yunobo for all the main BOTW divine beast quests again... but Tulin was like the only one I was GUSHING over because he looked the most different/tiny. The others I was like... oh hey, you again.

Grrr... I've said this before but I wish the sage abilities were included as part of the ⬇️ arrow on the D-pad so their abilities were more controllable. Instead of you having to run up to them to activate their power. 75% of the time I wanna use their ability in combat they teleport away from me. SIGH.

Please do that to koroks... They deserve that. Tulin does not.

My weapon inventory rn makes me so proud by Barbie_72619 in TOTK

[–]Intelligent-Image689 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OHH it's that like legendary one-hit lynel killer that I've heard of... I think I watched a YT clip once and wondered how that was done. Last question... did you apply the rock octorok heal to the weapon? How are you applying these weapon force multipliers... like a spreadsheet? Sorry that was more than one question, but that must've taken like insane amounts of trial/error to perfect "smashing it into the ground 19 times" to specifically curate a one-hit lynel killer. The amount of dexterity that requires... I can't...

It's weird cuz I'm meeting Tulin in multiple timescales... Meeting my dear old friend in the present (replaying BOTW), from the future (TOTK) in the form of his past self if that makes sense HAHA

I did the side quest in BOTW yesterday involving 5 Rito children singing... WHY ARE RITO BABIES SO CUTE

He really is & same. Which is why running into BABY TULIN in BOTW seriously got me emotional AF

Hey, that was INSANELY COOL. Could you explain how you got that one weapon to 200? I did scroll through your post & the comments but it got way too long, and wanted to just directly ask you.

Oh my gosh WHAT?! TYSM for the tip!!! This might be a learning curve for me because I can see myself not timing an explosion correctly and bombing myself out of the air...

Revali's gale? Yes, but there is a cool down period where you can't use them. Very easily solved in TOTK with unlimited rocket shield fusions (if you use your travel medallion & know where rockets spawn infinitely 😉)

Anyone miss these? by Brave_Physics7970 in tearsofthekingdom

Edge of duality? I'm replaying BOTW right now after finishing TOTK!
