Finished TOTK first and decided to play BOTW, and these guardians have been kicking my ass. Finally, after sacrificing Link many times through save files, I am able to semi-consistently parry their beams.

I bought a switch 2 a couple of months ago, and honestly, I barely used it, until I bought BOTW and played through it for the first time.

It’s truly one of the most beautifully designed and rewarding games I have ever played. It’s an experience rather than a game. It has made all other games seem mediocre. How rare is it for a game to make you fall in love with a console? I barely touch my PS5 anymore. I only started playing BOTW a few weeks ago and I’m already hooked.

I’m taking my time exploring the world, I’ve racked up ~40 hours of gameplay so far. One divine beast down, three left to go. Buying the DLC was a no brainer. BOTW is an awesome breath of fresh air. I am so immersed. Truly breathtaking.

Ive never seen this before, is there an explanation for this?

I just have to vent. Thus far I have found the Champions Ballad to be delightfully challenging (minus the plateau shrine with the spiky chompers). But Waterblight is wiping the floor with me.

I can get through the first section, but then in the second I can barely stand up on the block before he ice blocks me. He's like right on top of you from the beginning so you can't even get him with stasis. Yesterday I eventually managed to create a block and glide off so I could get bullet time and shoot him, but only once.

In my defense (or lack thereof?) I suck at dodging and back flipping, and keep forgetting I have Urbosas Fury. My main fighting strategy, which has served me well the entire game) is snipering with various arrows, which obviously doesn't work here.

I'm confident I'll finally get it, but I'm feeling a little GRR right now. I have waterblight and then the Gerudo bit, then I'm done. Wind and fireblight were not that bad.​

**EDIT** I just beat him! Believe it it or not, all I did was stasis and perfectly aimed arrows, and then whack-a-mole with the trident, twice. And then I parried him when he shot his laser at me. That took him out. I suck at parrying, so that was a happy surprise. I didn't have to use Revalis gale or urbosas fury, but Mipha did come through for me.

what I LOVE about this game is how there are so many ways to reach the same goal.

Well well well

Bueno, terminé el juego hace unos días simplemente pq estaba cerca del castillo y entré sin querer, no queria terminarlo y el final me pareció una basura. Es un final muy vacío sin nada q extrañar

Lo mismo me pasa con la pelea con Ganon, coño vamos, paso más trabajo con los espadachines ninjas q con ese Ganon

Pelea fácil y un final simplón que no te alegra nada

Lo unico que me gustó fue que la pelea final me recordó cuando jugué Shadow of the Colossus, bien guiño

Pero fuera de eso me pareció muy vacío y simplón todo

Voy a empezar TOTK a ver que tal

I panicked every time I saw one, when I could've literally just walked it off.

To the user who told me to kick the monster’s head off a cliff in my previous post: wish granted.

Edit: Well, this was more of an idea than a request.

I didn’t think this would have to be said, but if you don’t like or care for this.. then express your dislike with the downvote button instead of spreading Malice.

My first trickshot :D ill call it family killa lol

Hello, i am new in the zelda world, my first game was tears of the kingdom and i loved it. Them my older brother gived to me BOTW as a birthday gift and i don't know why, i just feel extreme uneasy playing it. The machines in it, the story, walking catching mushrooms and them suddenly a piano note playing in the background, i can't reach the center of hyrule because of those walking fucking machinery monsters. Sure, TOTK had gloom hands but that walking machine laser beam just makes me panic so much that i can't play 5 minutes before closing the game in fear. For me, the most terrifying part was when i entered Vah Ruta, the divine beast is imense, the background music, the story behind it, the spirit of mipha, everytime that i was in the divine beast i had a feeling that i was going to be closed there forever, or that i was going to be crushed in the walls of the beast like mipha probably was. I felt so so so bad, really scared

Anyway, great game so far, is more hard than TOTK, but is really nice seem the dept of the story.

Really great game. Loving it besides all the fear.

Epic! My inner child came out at this point last night 😊🗡️
I ran so quick to get my 13th heart container once I stumbled upon Korok Forest.

Hi, I’ve really enjoyed BOTW. That said, I think the difficulty level is my limit. :)) I didn’t think the divine beasts or calamity were too hard but I wouldn’t want it worse. Silver Lynels I can survive fine(ish) with ancient armor & its weapon increase, food buffs, & runes.

I’m thinking about TOTK but if the difficulty is worse or incomparable without ways to make it easier (like runes do in BOTW) then I don’t wanna waste the $70 💀

Opinions?

Never got to complete this game but recently purchased an S2 and it has instantly immersed me back into this title. Completely forgot I was following the shrine sound 🤣 I’m sure everyone’s first encounter with these dragons are special and that’s what makes this title amazing. TotK waits patiently in my library but not gonna rush this experience 😉

This is my favorite way to catch the high stat horses in Taobab grasslands :) I was getting irritated with the other methods.
I have the DLC so I put a travel medallion in the tree tallest and closest to the herd. It works easily without as well, just have to paraglide from nearest cliff or use Revalis Gale.
I do a manual save the moment I travel to the tree top, scope to best guess which is the leader/highest stat, & then paraglide down and land on them.
If the horse I landed on isn’t 5 spur I reload to travel point & repeat. It’ll be a new herd every time you travel again. Hope this helps someone! I’m sure it’s already been discovered but I hadn’t seen anything about it. IMO, it takes the stress away lol.

What do you guys use as fuel for the motorbike you get after finishing the dlc quest.

I'm a bit of a hoarder but also like to ride around as I earned that bike.

So what's a cheap fuel you guys like to use?

Love to hear it, enjoy the game!

The one with the zora child wanting to send a love letter and the one where I have to sell a horse. The first one sounds annoying and the route is swimming with electric lizalfos and as for the latter, I worked hard to get those horses, what do you mean I have to give one of them up???

And bloody hell, do I really have to collect all 900 koroks to get to 100%?? I hate you, Hestu!!! This is my first playthrough, and I feel like I have to 100% it at least in my first one, right? Should I just do the DLC before coming back to these two and the Koroks?

Hey everyone! I'm a little daunted and actually bewildered. Not in a bad way, more like a holy shit kind of way. So I beat every shrine quest, side quest and got every shrine unlocked with all chests collected. I beat Ganon, freed all Divine Beasts and got both all of Link's memories and retrieved the Master Sword. After all this I am sitting at 27 out 100% completion. Also got all towers. I still have to get all the korok seeds, and overworld bosses. What else is required for total completion? The compendium? I'm pretty surprised I am at such a low percentage after putting so much time into the game already. What else is needed?

I'm trying to get back into speed running, and of course the first thing I tried is to clip through the shrine of resurrection. However, I failed at doing so, which surprised me because I was quite good at it on my switch 1.

Was ist patches? Am I washed? Or is it the new frame rates?

Have been playing for 120 hours since 2019 and still just doing some fun things exploring :)

Absolutely the best way to experience this game ♥️
In this clip, I am just casually exploring perimeter of hot zone because something random led me in that direction. Casually skipping along to the subtle music as the wind begins to pick up along with music w/o having a clue why. I turn around…😱🐲

Looking forward to TotK 🍻
