Hinnox are kind of tough when you don't hit them in the eye. Mainly because I have no clue what is going on with the hitbox around their feet.

This game was great from start to finish when i wasn't doing the rito part of the game. 8.8/10, -1 point for the lost pilgrimage and rushed rito stuff, and -.2 points for wolf link despawning every time you fast traveled or entered a village / shrine

If they are have armor on their shins, you barely do damage, if any. If they're naked, go nuts. Some of them even only have one shin guard on so go for the other one.

Armor on their shins is exciting as it's an excuse to easily stun them and do even more damage!

I just got the tower for Gerudo Highlands. Holy poo poo that area is crazy. The tower itself for it is insane as well even though it was the easiest of any to get to the top of.

Nah I mean how sometimes they can crush you just by moving their feet around. It doesn't seem very consistent. Like, I've had their feet literally clip with Link and not hurt me but other times I brush up against a toe and get flattened. Normally not an issue but if you don't hit them in the eye you're gonna be spending a lot of the time running between their legs and trying to stab them in the taint.

You can burn the shin guards off blue Hinox. Dunno if you can destroy the ones black Hinox wear but they make them vulnerable to electricity. Not sure why they gave them protection on their feet and not the giant glowing eyeball that makes fighting them trivial if you hit it.

Getting all the armor in this game isn't very hard so you should get it.

Are you talking about the one that's out in the water a bit? For that one you could try to golf it or do what I did. I chopped down that palm tree, grabbed the ball and then stood on top of the trunk. Eventually the tree floated out a bit and I was able to throw the ball onto the platform.

I wasn't talking about that one, but I will that. I dropped the ball off the other side of the island, but I got it out. I still don't know how to get it up the hill. There's no walking path.

Edit: I'm dumb. There's a ball already up here.

So does anyone know what the purpose of the big metal door under the water in the pond up on the Ubota Point? You can magnesis it out of the water but I didn't see any use for it in the area?

That's the only one where it is tricky to get the ball where it needs to go. The hinox one has a very easy path to walk up and the other one is already at the top of its hill. If you knocked that third one down, you might have to start over.

I don't remember which parts are in there, but there's three maze shrines in the game, one in the icy northernmost area, another at the top right of the map north of akkala lab, and the other is rightmost in the gerudo area.

Yeah I found that out just now. Oddly you can't light the furnace either.

EDIT: Wow there's a completely unique stun animation if you use stasis to launch a boulder into a Hinnox.

So, how many Zelda games have had explicitly romantic tones to Link and Zelda's relationship? I know Skyward Sword did, and in Breath of the Wild, Kass mentions that his teacher told him Zelda "only had eyes for her chosen knight," not to mention Paya's diary suggesting Link probably feels the same way about Zelda.

I always kind of enjoy the different levels of familiarity between Link and Zelda in each cycle. You go from things like Skyward Sword and BotW where they've known each other a long time to Twilight Princess where they barely even meet.

Nah, it was unrequited. Link was gonna marry Mipha.

I bet they have roleplay classes. "Very good Durfo! The Hero would be paralyzed with shock at your menacing reveal! Have these bananas!"

(Should have had more arrow-dodging classes. Losers.)

Finally got out to Eventide Island. A great little adventure. Figuring out how to deal with the Hinox with only 5 arrows, most of which missed his eye, was fun. Had to lure him over to an enemy campfire to burn off his shins and exploit Stasis+ to the max.

Not a very date-y date, though, is it. I prefer to see that as Link's sudden realisation of what had been going on in her head. "poo poo! I thought she meant just hang out and maybe gently caress some more! Dodged a loving bullet there boy!"
