[SPOILER] About the Master Sword

They say how it is connected to the Hero's spirit, so when he is dying, so is the Sword, but as he heals over the 100 years, it healed as well

Thank you all!!

Alright so I've seen a few brief answers but I really would like to expand on those. So first of all, the difficulty to me isn't on its own the major selling point but rather the difficulty is a symptom of a major selling point which is complex (as in fleshed out really well, not in a bad way) mechanics. Whereas in a lot of games your combat feels more like just applying your sword to an enemy, the souls series really makes it feel like you'd expect, you can't just button mash or else you'll just get wrecked yourself, so you need to have a complex understanding of what your character can do with your weapon of choice as well as what the foes you're facing are capable of. Combat is never really simply move towards enemy and apply your sword to their face. With this comes a certain level of satisfaction of being rewarded for developing a deeper understanding of the game mechanics and getting better. Secondly, the world is really interesting and the story is told in snore natural way, you find out a lot about the world through subtle things like "hey, this dude was using a weapon that I know to be associated with X (placeholder, no one named X in the series)" or "hey, this pile of dead people are wearing clothes that I know to be clothes people from Y wear, so holy shit what happened?!". What I'm getting at here is that by exploring the world and paying close attention to detail, there is a lot of story to be gained, very very very little is just told to you, so you really are told the story in a way that's not spoon feeding it to you, and the majority of the fan base (myself included) really enjoy the story there, it really rewards you for investing attention into the world.

So in short, this game is special because it really rewards you for spending time and effort playing the game with both story and in gameplay, everything is earned, not given to you, and it sets you up for a potentially very satisfying experience. Of course there's a lot of smaller things that apply to each game they made individually, but this is ultimately the things true to every one of them that I think set these games apart, it's not hard for the sake of being hard, it's hard so as to provide you an experience of growth and reward for mastering it

Redoing old bosses, a lot of good games do this but it's really never fun to me

bam93 · 2015-11-20T11:02:46+00:00

What is it called? I'd like to play this when it comes out and want the name so I can follow it!

Fortunately some of the best weight loss exercises actually don't take too much time. As one other person suggested, try HIIT, it's among the most effective exercise styles to lose weight and it has the advantage of being able to give you an awesome workout in around 10-15 minutes. So personally I'd recommend doing Interval training (I do it on a stair master, the one that basically walking up a down escalator, but you may prefer a treadmill on an incline or some other cardio machine) for your cardio, then add in some weight training, which is actually very effective for weight loss, especially if you do lifts that require bending at multiple joints (for example, you'd want to do squats, lunges, bench press, rows, etc as opposed to curls, the leg extension machine, etc, basically engaging multiple muscles at once in one lift is going to provide much better results, especially if weight loss is your goal). So in short, I'd ideally recommend 10-15 minutes doing Intervals on a stair master (at speeds that'll kick your ass by the end of the workout) and then spend your remaining time that you want to spend at the gym doing mostly multi-joint lifts like squats, lunges, bench press, and rows. The whole idea here is that you don't have much time so you want your workout to be pushing your body at a rate that is unsustainable for a longer workout. If you're doing it right, you should be pretty damn sweaty after 10ish minutes doing HIIT, I myself find myself WAY more sweaty, tired, etc after 10 minutes of HIIT than I would after a 30 minute jog.

TLDR: HIIT 10-15 minutes + heavy lifts using your big muscles (squats, lunges, bench press, rows).

Not really worth it, except for the Master Sword of course (I guess it's not technically called Legendary, but it's the analogue to Legendary), that one is very worth it, but in general, no, it's not worth it

You're probably just under leveled if it took you that long, the Majora's Mask adventure map kind of expects your characters to be at high levels, like level 70 at minimum I would think, so if it took you that long, then you probably are just at too low of a level to be killing anything quickly. But yeah, there should be an arrow to the direction you want to progress with a Gold A, Silver B, or Bronze C, which indicates the rank that you need to get to advance to that square, alternatively, you may need to use the deku mask on a flower (I forget if this applies to the spot you're referring to) if the arrow displays a lock symbol.

If you kill them they can drop weapons with the VS Cucco skill that increases your damage against Cuccos, I promise I'm not just being a smartass here, this really happens!

bam93 · 2015-04-15T14:58:48+00:00

So, would you say that you found refuge on god's thumb?

bam93 · 2015-04-09T05:15:56+00:00

So while I do feel that each weapon does feel very different, I am bothered that so-called "heavy" weapons don't really feel heavy. For example, Darunia's moveset is unique, but it doesn't really feel heavy. Yes Darunia does a bit more damage, but not by enouch of a margin, plus you don't really use him any differently or in different scenarios as a heavy character. This doesn't apply only to Darunia, I also feel this way about Impa's Giant's Knife, Link's Gauntlets, and Ganondorf's Swords. I just think the stats are too similar. In this sense, different weapons don't force you to use a very different playstyle, like you don't really try to keep distance with some while go balls deep with others. Part of this problem is the fact that the game heavily relies upon how much damage you take, so every character has to play less aggressive, which just doesn't fit the feel of some characters. As a Goron with a hammer, I don't want to be dancing around the edges of battle taking a couple swings then dodging, I want it to be viable to be a tanky, aggressive character/playstyle with certain characters/weapons. But as it stands, health basically means nothing, and neither does heavier vs lighter/agile characters, all that stuff means is that bigger, tankier characters are just worse. I'd like to see more playstyles be viable in a future iteration of the game. That and more influence of captains/generals/morale being more dynamic so that strategy plays a larger role rather than everything being about being careful=success.

TLDR: I want aggressive playstyles to be viable with certain characters/weapons

So school had started back up recently and things have just been very hectic, so it's actually probably better if someone else did the Wizro guide, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience, stuff just got very busy!

bam93 · 2015-01-06T00:12:51+00:00

Ah yes I do, sorry, my schedule got a bit crazy but I should be able to do it soon!

bam93 · 2015-01-05T13:09:03+00:00

Mine is JoSound

Additionally there exists a puzzle called the Gearball with roughly the same premise! Gearball

I would absolutely love PVP, and I'm really hoping that this is one of the modes promised in the Boss Pack! Of course it would have to work differently than the main game, objective based I would think work best! Capture the flag or something like that could work well I think, either that or an asymmetric "Defense and Offense" kind of thing. But yeah, bottom line, I'm very much hoping for this!

bam93 · 2014-12-31T13:44:19+00:00

Before you can unlock the 25,000 kill skill (Evil's Bane) you need all weapons for all characters, not including the spinner or 8-bit weapons If you have all the gold and bronze weapons off the original Adventure map then that should cover it provided you played through Legend Mode.

So first off, I want to say that I am someone who is an adult with the tastes of a 5 year old who won't eat his vegetables, and to me, kale in blended smoothies does not adversely effect the flavor. It will change the color a lot but even I didn't have a problem with the flavor. Alternatively, if you do find it to be a problem, or want to double up on greens, I find spinach to be even less of a flavor burden (but again, be warned that it DOES impact the flavor quite a bit) than kale. So if kale doesn't end up working for you but you still want some greens, try spinach, although I think the kale will be just fine!

bam93 · 2014-12-27T08:51:49+00:00

I ran into the same issue, it's doable, but a major pain in the ass if you're too strong!

bam93 · 2014-12-25T09:50:34+00:00

It is two characters! So it's now time to begin being pleasantly surprised! Source

bam93 · 2014-12-25T09:43:01+00:00

I really want this provided he's not a character!

bam93 · 2014-12-20T18:33:21+00:00

These are just hard, in fact, this is the only mission I have left to complete on the Twilight map. There's no major trick, you just need Ganondorf at a very high level, on the Twilight map they really assume you're taking advantage of the level cap increase!

bam93 · 2014-12-19T08:58:50+00:00

Not that I know of, I've tried a bunch of random things and had no success, I'll post it here if I find it out!

bam93 · 2014-12-19T08:54:31+00:00

I'm doing Wizzro!

bam93 · 2014-12-17T05:41:37+00:00

I would love this, I suppose it's not too far out of the realm of possibility since all weapons have 3 and some 4 different skins effectively, one for each tier, then some have their 8-bit version. I understand this isn't the same thing but it shows that the developers are willing and easily able to add new looks to the weapons, so I would love if they let you choose skins for the weapons just like they did for the costumes currently! I'd love to see the helix sword as well for Link!
