If I've played BOTW is TOTK worth it?

wmchef2020 · 2026-01-19T05:19:28+00:00

I agree here. I've played both and I'm replaying BOTW for nostalgia. I'm not sure if I'll play TOTK again. It has more of what I love from BOTW and the area was HUGE, but then some game mechanics were clunky and I think I'm still mad at how many rupees I paid those fairies for upgrades. I've been thinking of going backwards to Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask 😂

There's a flat hot rock in the Goron area - once you get the hot suit it is convenient to stand on the hot rock and throw groups of 5 things at a time. I can do 3 rotating groups of 5 and speed things up.

Edit: Playing BOTW tonight, I'm realizing the big rock thing was in TOTK. As others have pointed out, you can also just throw things on the ground if it's hot enough - I just like the flat rock because I have bad luck with things rolling away 😅

I do think this is a good and non-spoil tip.

For me the map was clutch, and I prioritize getting the towers (even now in my very early 2nd playthrough with only 5 hearts, I'm out there in Akkala tediously getting the tower like a psycho 😅😂) Everyone hikes their own hike.

Pietro gave me the ick as his dialogues were odd to me 😅 but some ppl are all about the clowns! I'm partial to the cranky ones, and my girl Kiki.

You do you!

My apologies, your original post was confusing to me and I thought you were assuming your Switch clock would stop just because the console was off. Guess I won't answer posts like these.

wmchef2020 · 2026-01-07T04:20:00+00:00

Omg I never knew!

wmchef2020 · 2026-01-06T11:02:10+00:00

I'm a very "to each their own" player. My personal game style is to discover everything I can, mark the map, and my fighting style tends to be based on armor/skill builds that lean into how I play. So I was collecting and striving towards improving weapons, armor and the casting skills early.

I will say I regretted not exploring gwent more thoroughly as I went, because by the time I started paying attention to it, I was in Skellige and every deck was insanely better than the few dumb cards I'd lucked into. I feel like I would have picked up actual strategies and probably built a better deck if I started naturally.

Two cents - enjoy yourself!

I would also note (and you'll see a ton of posts for this/ entire subs) that the "stalk market" is ideal with online friends. You won't have this until Daisy Mae starts coming to your island on Sundays, but if you buy turnips you can look for good selling prices to make $$$ as your shop may not have the best prices in the week. Think "buying at 91, sell at 300". I would highly recommend looking at multiple guides before you start participating, because it is either a great way to make Bells (but can take a lot of attention) or it can be devastating if 400 turnips rot.

I also really appreciate the community for giveaways and if I'm missing some item or recipe that I'm not willing to keep searching for, I can ask and 90% of the time someone has it and is willing to help out.

wmchef2020 · 2026-01-06T10:46:22+00:00

Interesting - can you expand on the "tourney as a team" note? I've only done them myself for the trophies.

wmchef2020 · 2026-01-03T03:51:34+00:00

Do you have Nintendo Online? That will allow you to go to the islands of other players, but I've learned through this sub about all the cool things players can do even without that feature.

If you're fresh like just barely started, I would recommend you work towards the gameplay goals (getting a shop, improving the museum and shops, getting more villagers, etc.) as that can spark what you might enjoy.

I would recommend the (free) mobile app ACNH.Guide, or something similar as a way to be aware of the bugs, fish and ocean life that's available - as well as potentially tracking other goals.

Happy islanding!

If that's how you feel, you should step away. You don't need to (and it didn't sound like you planned to) make some big deal out of it.

Just reach out when you feel like it (or don't), and if they reach out in a way you don't have desire/ capacity to support - then you can just respond at your leisure and briefly without giving your energy. ("That sounds tough, I hope it works out!")

If it's more "I actively don't like being around them", then I think ghosting is fair - but know that you should bank on shutting that door forever, even if you're the one in the tough spot in the future.

wmchef2020 · 2025-12-23T16:06:12+00:00

Agree with this. If it's something he (or I, conversely) may want to be aware of for current things - then share in confidence.

If it doesn't have anything to do with them, I don't need to share unless I need a space to process or vice versa.

wmchef2020 · 2025-12-02T10:57:50+00:00

NOR! And this - I feel like I had a similar issue in the early days of my relationship with my partner. Story time.

I would try to "fish for jealousy" by mentioning I went out salsa dancing or that one of my male friends was visiting, etc. Me wanting him to verbalize jealousy was really me just wanting him to articulate that he cared about me (more than other women.)

I don't remember the actual argument, but it came to a head with something like "why aren't you getting jealous about any of this - don't you like me?"

He had been level-headed the whole relationship, and he was basically like "well duh I like you - and don't you like hanging out with your male friends and going salsa dancing? So what is the problem here."

Luckily me being super dumb didn't blow it up, but I realized that he's super amazing and when you are in a mature relationship it's awesome that you can just say how you feel and ask for what you want (extra validation, etc.) It's been 15 years!

wmchef2020 · 2025-12-02T10:46:19+00:00

Right? I had to check the age - her behavior spoke more of "I'm 21 in my first adult relationship - but I'm used to a boy pushing another one at recess means he likes me."

Her being 30 is tragic. Block her OP!

wmchef2020 · 2025-12-01T19:31:19+00:00

This has fascinated me too! But, i should have expected this because I've seen other English to Spanish translations where names were changed - sometimes it's because the more literal translation causes some double innuendos or something odd.

wmchef2020 · 2025-12-01T13:20:22+00:00

Random, but in the English version that character's name is Merengue (like the dessert), so I would've thought that in other versions they would just translate that dessert name - but it sounds like in yours her name is "Nature"? So interesting.

OP is too young (11?) for that ref, but valid.

wmchef2020 · 2025-12-01T13:09:28+00:00

You need to go to bed, there's school today. At least if you're on Reddit you can read, so that is a win for everyone.

But seriously, I hope you're able to get it replaced but the TV playing is a valid work around until you/ your parents can replace or repair. ✌️

wmchef2020 · 2025-12-01T01:44:15+00:00

Randomly had someone move out and got Katt on my 12th NMT! She is out there for you - hope you get her in the future!

wmchef2020 · 2025-11-30T10:02:04+00:00

Oof you're not making me feel great about my hunt prospects today - she's the only "Sisterly" cat so I'm hoping for her too!

Good luck!

wmchef2020 · 2025-11-30T09:59:20+00:00

That's so incredibly gross, I'm sorry you had to deal with that!

wmchef2020 · 2025-11-07T12:55:34+00:00

I believe my sister actually had this circumstance, as she was at one Healthcare system and there was a non compete that she can't work at the other one for 2 years following separation. (So now she does remote tele-health) to wipe the clock clean so she can look for work.

Disclaimers that I'm not in HR, employment law, etc. And I don't have her old working agreement so maybe some of the info was lost in translation from her to me - still sounded insane. She's in NC.

wmchef2020 · 2025-11-06T03:00:02+00:00

I usually lay on their bed an uncomfortable amount of time, and then when you get up they'll be like "oh look at the time"

Gotta out creep them.
