I used about a bajillion arrows and bows because I forgot about this.

Me, too. I realized it like a half hour after I killed the boss, too, and just kind of sat there for a moment realizing I was an idiot, and this was the final proof.

Have you played a Zelda game before? "Shoot arrow through one torch to light another" is a classic Zelds solution but I could see not putting two and two together if you're new to the series.

That's not what you had to do though. I obviously looked for a torch that I could shoot an arrow through. I didn't know you could nock an arrow, light it, and move around before you shot it.

Also, there's just something about this game that caused me to completely forget about shooting arrows through torches. I definitely remembered to do it way less this time. :confused:

Tiki torches on fire off the summit of Kilauea.
I watched disco balls glitter in the dark near the Brandenburg Gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like crowds in rain.

What was everyone's favorite "holy gently caress this game!" moment? Mine was probably climbing Mt. Lanayru and freeing Naydra. The sheer expanse that you have to cover as you chase it on your glider floored me.

Probably looking at the island on my map, noticing the LA reference and deciding to go there based on that only to be "Samus Araned" when getting there. Loved that whole thing.

Alternatively fighting during a thunderstorm in Akkala (cause it's always loving stormy there) realizing I had no wooden weapons on me, but I did have the Thunder Helm so what followed was a lot of me dodging and then suddenly running up to moblins while shouting "SHAZAM!" with a big grin on my face.

Also re-enacting Tremors was pretty great.

I had a similar reaction when I finally went back to replace my Gerudo weapon and their claims of needing nothing but a diamond, have changed to wanting a base weapon and flint on top like everything else.

I mean yeah, one respawns right by the entrance making it still probably the most convenient one to replace. But come on. Also stop giving me poo poo about the other thing not being broken every time I swing by. It looks good on my wall

The one you need for the Rito bow spawns literally right next to the guy who builds it on his table. If you take it he yells at you and then says "whatever, just take it, I suck at shooting bows"

Oh, that's nice to hear. Last time I peeked in there the bow had a different name than the one they said I'd need. Maybe the spawn hadn't adjusted yet for me, or maybe they will just take whatever rito bow then?

The Yiga clan hideout was pretty fun once I realized that sneakstrikes take the blademasters out in one hit. It was even more fun once I realized that they don't drop their weapons when you do that, and goddamn it I am going to steal one and take a picture of it, so I just brazenly walked in and fought them all head-on :v:

There's at least two sets of doors like that in the mountains (I don't know if there's more but I've found two). One set is near the northwest corner of the map and leads to To Quomo Shrine. The other set is close to Hebra Tower and leads to Gee Ha'rah Shrine.

Thank you! Pretty sure that was the one I was thinking of since it's so close to the tower and I do remember being able to see a shrine between the crack in the doors. Now I can get back to getting lost in other regions! :v:

I only used a few arrows on the waterblight because I used BOMB arrows. He didn't like those very much. I didn't think about using ice magic. Does ice magic work for the bit where you ride your Zora bro? I had a heck of a time knocking ice blocks out of the air until I switched to arrows. Never thought to break them with magic.

I'd rather they go the opposite direction and just not have voice acting. I prefer Link as a silent protagonist, but those characters work best when there's no voice acting--they stick out much less in that case. Really, only a couple of the memories in Breath of the Wild really required voice acting, and with some changes to camera work and pacing they could've worked without it. Then have Link speak more with his actions and you're set.

What's weird is I made the connection right away with the boss, but didn't even think of the possibility during the runup. Got real good at leading fast-moving targets, though.

I'd be fine with that too. Either way something has to give on it. It's pretty lame when Zelda is like "Tell me..how proficient are you with that sword?" and Link just stares like a dumbfounded idiot and says literally nothing.

Easily the most useless guy in there at higher "levels", since it's a loving lot of extra work for a flaming longsword.

I found the coliseum just now and entered from the top; I didn't even know there was a front entrance, because I first saw it from a mountain. It's an easy climb up the peak next to Outskirt Stable, and it's even easier to sneakstrike everyone other than the Lynel via that approach. In the top two levels alone you can get a complete set of Royal Gear and you won't even alert anyone below.

I don't know at what point the game considers you to have hit "max level" (probably shrine count, maybe capping out at 40 because master sword, but at ~6-8 shrines in the dudes were all wearing low level soldier gear.

I almost regret doing the hyrule dungeons early on. Now a lot of enemies are carrying dragon bone laced weapons and one-shotting me. Maybe it's just cause I went west though. I'm gonna take some time finding a few more great faries so I can up my defense though.

What, what? You're supposed to use cryonis on that section of that boss?

God loving dammit!

(I had a ton of fun using arrows to shoot that poo poo out of the sky though. I did wonder why the game expected you to have 30+ arrows to get past a section though...)

How forgettable are these bosses though? If you tell me "The boss of OOT (blank) Temple" I'm going to immediately remember the fights with Phantom Ganon, or Volvagia, or Bongo Bongo, but if someone is like "The boss of the Rito Divine Beast" I don't remember a single thing about that fight, or any of the Divine Beast bosses at all.

I'd remember the Rito boss, only because it bugged out on me and became invincible on my first fight.

Real talk though It would take me a bit to remember the blights. They're not very memorable, but since there's only four of them it isn't hard.
