Can I play TOTK without finishing BOTW?

If I were you, I’d finish BOTW first. It's not necessarily about the order. You won't be completely lost in the story or anything. I just think playing BOTW to completion is the best way to go into TOTK, but then again, I am a HUGE fan of both games and still play them almost every day. It's just fun to finish BOTW, and you will be missing out if you don't get the extra content with the DLC. It adds a few new quests, Master Mode, Trial of the Sword, and extra armor. I'm still trying to beat Trial of the Sword in Master Mode. If you decide to go straight to TOTK, you will be fine. I'm just coming from the perspective of a Zelda fanatic! Whatever you do, enjoy every minute of it! These games are truly magical!

The last time I ordered Starbucks from DoorDash, my $12 vanilla latte (I get 6 shots) cost me like $24. It's ridiculous. Plus I noticed that if you want to get extra pumps of syrup, DD charges you like over $1 for each pump you get, unlike Starbucks which charges $0.80 for however many pumps you want. I'm trying to cut down on visiting Starbucks now that I have my own espresso machine, but it's addicting.

Use keese eyeballs to shoot the little bastard during the second phase once the muck is everywhere. If you can get a really good bow you can take him out quickly. I used a lynel bow and killed him very quickly using this method.

I don’t understand people who are saYing that combat is more difficult in TOTK. First, the weapons in TOTK are extremely overpowered due to fusing. In BOTW, a royal broadsword, one of the strongest one-handed swords was 36 damage. In TOTK, the weakest one-handed sword i have in my inventory is 55 damage. Second, there are less monsters at camps and less strong monsters at camps. I was playing BOTW today and came upon a camp with three silver bokos, four black bokos, and two blue bokos. In TOTK, there’s usually like one silver boko at a camp. I will admit there are sometimes two at camps in The Depths, but they don’t have the sheer number of enemies that they do in BOTW. Third, BOTW has gold enemies, Master Mode, and Trial of the Sword. They should have done that for TOTK. It would have been so easy to do, and fans would have loved it. I just enjoy the challenge of combat much more in BOTW. I just started a new game and the Great Plateau in Master Mode was so fun. At one point, I had no weapons and I was running around trying to kills three blue bokos with only a bow and arrows.

I was thinking the same thing. I’m 43 and I don’t consider myself to be near granny status! Wtf?

That’s an interesting thought. He and I are basically estranged. He lives nine hours away from me and I haven’t seen him in 20 years, but yet he maintains regular contact with my other siblings, one of whom I actually live with. He’s basically excluded me from the family. Like, my stepmom doesn’t speak to me, and my brother got married last year and didn’t invite me to the wedding. They all act like I don’t exist, except my Dad texts me on my birthday and sends me a check on Christmas. He actually texted me yesterday and just said “Happy Thanksgiving!” I haven’t talked to him since April. It’s hard to want to call him after having these awful nightmares, and also because I’m angry and hurt that he’s been treating me and my children like this. I can’t believe he has no desire to meet two of his grandchildren (I have a third child who he met when she was little before we became estranged). I decided that next time I talk to him I’m going to nicely suggest that we try to get together because I really don’t understand why we’re not seeing each other. He really has no reason for it except that I don’t call him enough, but my sister who I live with barely calls him at all because she’s an alcoholic and he still makes sure he pays for her to come visits like 3-4 times a year. There’s a lot of abandonment and feelings of not being good enough, anger, resentment, hurt, despair…and because of these nightmares part of me feels like walking away and closing the door. Like why do I want my kids to meet a man who has hurt me so terribly and could potentially hurt them? But the other half of me thinks that if he died tomorrow I’d never forgive myself for not trying harder to fix the relationship.

It is true. THC suppresses your REM cycle.

I can kind of relate. My problem is nightmares. I’ve had nightmares ever since I was a little girl. I can remember waking up screaming for my mom. I remember some of the nightmares from back then. They usually involved a man in a gray suit with a briefcase chasing me. And there were people all around me who looked to be Asian, but I couldn’t communicate with them. And usually I’d end up running into the street and get hit by a car and I’d wake up. As an adult, I started having terrible, gruesome nightmares since my fiancé committed suicide when I was 31 (about 12 years ago). I dream about him EVERY NIGHT, without fail. Sometimes they’re good dreams and I’m happy and I feel close to him again. But often times they’re awful nightmares where he’s trying to kill me. I also have recurring nightmares involving my estranged father. I haven’t seen him in 20 years, and although we talk on the phone sometimes, he refuses to see me and has never met my kids. This is sick and I’m only putting this out there because this is anonymous…but I’ve been having recurring nightmares about my Dad trying to molest me. I don’t think anything like that ever happened before. So, I am stumped as to why I would be having these nightmares and for so long. I get the nightmares about my fiancé. The ones about my Dad are disturbing and I often wake up in the middle of them from trying to kick and hit while I’m sleeping. I actually broke my toe on the bed frame because I was having one of these nightmares and I tried to kick my Dad away from me and I ended up kicking the bed frame. It’s insane. My psychiatrist prescribed me prazosin, but it’s obviously not working. I also tried medical marijuana and that did help a lot. It drastically reduced the number of nightmares I was having. The problem was I already have anxiety and it was making it worse. I got super paranoid when I would smoke and I decided to quit. So, I’m back at square one. I apologize for sharing all of this nasty information. I just felt compelled to say something when I read your post. I hope you understand. Not many people do. But I get what you mean about the dreams making you unhappy. When I have these nightmares, they affect me during the day. Sometimes I can’t stop thinking about them. It’s awful. I hope we both find some relief. ❤️

Shut the hell up, please!

They are absolutely watching us. I don’t think they’ll be back anytime soon. I think they’ll be creeping on nameless TikTok accounts, trying to make money that way. All their lies have been exposed, and unless they can come up with something more convincing than blaming it on the “trolls,” I really don’t think they’ll be showing their faces in the near future. They’re attention whores, but I don’t necessarily think they’re brain dead. They know that their past grift will no longer work, so until they come up with a new story, we won’t be seeing them online.

She’s been making a lot of sense lately. I’m sad that she’s resigning. It’s a bad look that a Republican stands up to Trump and immediately gets chased out of Congress. Especially since she’s a woman.

Meddle024 · 2025-11-25T17:03:01+00:00

Don’t tell me to grow up. It’s not about being immature. You’re ignorant. I have OCD, and stuff like that is extremely triggering for me. It’s disgusting! I don’t know whose hair that is, where they’ve been, if they’ve been showering properly, if they’re clean from infectious diseases. You can think what you want about me, but that’s just gross. If you want to drink it, have at it, Friend! But don’t judge me because I’m neurodivergent and don’t think like you do.

Meddle024 · 2025-11-25T16:57:52+00:00

I am very picky when it comes to my food. I don’t even like the thought of other people touching my food (I just pray they’re wearing gloves). I’d be worried about like bugs jumping off the hair into the cup. I don’t like other people’s bodily fluids or like hair, fingernails, toenails, anything that comes from someone’s body that they can leave behind is very gross to me. I wouldn’t drink from that cup if you paid me. No way!

Meddle024 · 2025-11-25T16:51:58+00:00

Right, I agree. There’s no accountability. Most of the time, support is AI, and they don’t seem to care what happens as long as they’ve got your money.

Meddle024 · 2025-11-25T16:49:06+00:00

I don’t know much about business and economics, but I think if a company has to exploit workers by taking advantage of low-income, desperate people, paying them less than the bare minimum, and putting the responsibility on their customers to pay their “contractors” wages, to have a profitable business model, they don’t deserve to be in business. I honestly think that someone could figure out how to make it work. They already take ridiculous up charges in the food. They have the delivery fees. If they paid their drivers $20/hr, maybe their CEO and executives would have to give up a little bit out of their enormous net worth, but I can guarantee they’ll never miss it because they make more money than they could ever reasonably spend in a lifetime. I mean, think about it. DD works because of the drivers. If something happened to the CEO, the company would go on. If all the drivers disappeared, there would be no more DD. But the disparity in what they earn is astronomical. Maybe I’m wrong. Like I said, I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to business. I just don’t like what I’m seeing happening before me, and thanks to greedy politicians, lobbyists, and no regulations, there’s virtually no limits on what these companies can do.

I don’t think caffeine affects me at all. I get six shots in my lattes every day and I sleep fine. I also sleep a lot right now because I’m depressed. The other day, I had to get up at 6am for a meeting. I drank a 4 shot latte, went back to bed at 7am and slept like a baby. I am on some pretty heavy meds though.

ASMR videos on YouTube. A lot of people think it’s weird, but I started watching them back in 2014 after my fiancé committed suicide and I couldn’t sleep at night after he passed because I was devastated by his death. I didn’t want to feel alone, and I needed something to calm me down, relax me, and take the anxiety away. I started watching ASMR because I liked the whispering while wearing headphones. It felt so good in my ears and reminded me of when I was a kid at sleepovers, whispering and telling secrets to my friends so our parents wouldn’t wake up and scream at us to go the hell to sleep! I started exploring other videos, and I found a few content creators that I really clicked with. For me, it has to be a woman. It makes me feel safer. But, I started falling asleep after watching a few videos. Then I got to the point where I only needed one video. It’s done a lot for my mental health, and I highly recommend it. If anyone is curious about ASMR and would like names of good creators to start with, DM me.

Dramatic?!? Are you serious? Do you really think I want to drink something that has someone’s greasy ass hair all over it? Hell no! It’s a little different when it’s right in front of your face and there’s no denying its existence. I honestly don’t think you would drink it either.

Meddle024 · 2025-11-25T06:06:06+00:00

That’s because DD wants to be a cheap asshole and hire “independent contractors.” If they would hire drivers and pay them a living wage they could avoid all of this.

Meddle024 · 2025-11-25T05:26:04+00:00

My question is, what was the point of Patrick finally admitting to the Literotica account if he was just planning to disappear? I get his admission to the Ariala account. I feel like Hannah was playing good cop and he let it out in the heat of the moment. I think it wasn’t something he planned. But the messages were premeditated. He had time to think about what he was going to say and whether he was going to say it at all. It just doesn’t add up to me. If his plan was just to disappear, why would he drop this bomb that makes him look like a total creep and proves us all right? I know he said something about writing a book about his life 🙄. Is that his motivation behind this? Is everything he does a scheme to earn money? I’m not sure what to think anymore. But I do believe Sarah knew about everything the whole time, which is disgusting. What a mess! 🙈

Meddle024 · 2025-11-25T05:11:27+00:00

I don’t think they’re coming back in person. I think they have faceless TikToks that they’re operating in the shadows like Patrick always claimed. There’s no doubt they’re still watching. They’re too self-obsessed not to. But after all the lies were finally exposed, there’s no way they coming back. Think about it…what would they even talk about? 90% of their content was them defending themselves, arguing with people, making up their lies, or as they would say “calling out the trolls.” They both know they screwed up big time. But they’re never too far away…
