Do you have a link to the reference? Vinny rules.

Finding a specific link is hard (it seems to be the one anecdote Vinesauce fans haven't isolated in its own clip) but some guy he played Smash with on a lovely (black and white?) TV back in the day once had trouble reading Ganondorf's name and asked "Who is that guy? Who's Crenando?" which lead to Vinny calling Ganon 'Crenando' at random in pretty much all of his Zelda streams.

Hinox easy mode: climb a tree or taller structure, fire arrows at eyeball while taking no damage

I enjoyed my terrified fight on Eventide, where I primarily killed him by dropping boxes on his head and throwing bombs at him.

Do the Hinoxes from the Three Brothers shrine quest respawn after Blood Moons? I haven't been back to check, but if they do, that's three Hinoxes in a relatively small area near a warp point.

Found that island that takes all your poo poo and dropped the first orb in that big mud puddle. Spent about an hour using stasis and bombs trying to get it out to just say gently caress it and start over. Then I died a bunch and left.

Does wearing the soldier's armor make me more vulnerable to electricity? I'm getting my rear end handed to me on the way to Zora's domain. I've already used up my electric resistance elixirs :(

Also, how many times can I summon amiibo items? I've been lazy and forgetting to try and get the twilight armor from the Smash Link one.

Armor only gives you bonus defense, never negative defense. Lightning attacks are just wickedly powerful when you're early on so save often, dodge arrows when you can, and avoid wizzrobes entirely.

You can scan amiibos once per day, however if you don't save then it doesn't count as a scan. So if you're determined then you can save scum to get what you want.

Yeah, and I'm too far to go back and try to collect rubber. I've already given the finger to wizzrobes.

I've save scummed in many other games so I can waste a little time to get what I want :v:

Go to the top of a mountain and save your game. Go to the home screen and exit BotW and relaunch it. Wait all night for a Star Fragment to show up. When it does, go get it, go back to the top of a mountain and repeat. Some people say they get star fragments on any kind of night, some say they only get them on full moons. I've done the full moon method by talking to the guy at the stable south of Kakariko and sleeping until a full moon. Then I just teleport to the top of dueling peaks and wait. Some people have said they have trouble actually getting to the star fragment, but I don't know why. Find where it lands, mark it on your map and teleport as close as you can and run over. I've even been out exploring and randomly see the light from a Star Fragment on the ground somewhere in the distance and I've been able to go get it. I haven't lost one yet.

Yes.

1. Go to the Shee Vaneer shrine on top of the Dueling Peaks.
2. Light a campfire and wait until night.
3. As soon as the game loads, save, and quit to the main Wii/Switch home menu.
4. Reload the game.
5. Look out over Hyrule Plains and don't move your controller.
6. Wait until a star fragment falls and mark its location with your Sheikah Scope.
7. Teleport to the closest shrine and go collect your fragment.
8. Repeat.

^^^ Moon phase does not affect appearance rate. I collected 13 straight using this method without a problem. Sometimes fragments will despawn if they land behind a hill or otherwise break initial line of sight, but it's rare. Usually you'll get a big yellow beacon to follow and they'll stick around even after teleporting.

I feel like if you don't actually mark them and then teleport that they actually despawn, unless they're capable of spawning on the complete rear end end of the map.

I know I've looked at where a star has fallen and it's behind some mountain or something so I can't mark it, and if I teleport closer to where it should be it doesn't show up anywhere, but I could just be missing them still.

I'd also add from experience "make sure your POV doesn't include Lake Hylia otherwise it might land in there and vanish".

It could have fallen in water, mud or malice - were you getting the beacon, or just following the track by eye?

Bombadilillo posted:

They don't seem to become physical objects until you get close, which explains how you get ones on narrow ledges that fall off as you approach. When you get near you see the light vanish and the spiky fragment appear.

I don't think they actually load in as an item until you're close but I also haven't personally seen them fall on the edges of anything, either.

But in the instances I was talking about I couldn't see the light pillar after teleporting at all.

Runcible Cat posted:

In those instances where I can't see it I've just marked the general direction of where it went on my map, teleport to a shrine close to it, and then look in that same direction. In those instances I've always just lost track of it, but if I mark it directly or don't teleport at all and just head towards it I can always find it (provided I make it there before morning).

They only roll when you get close. When you see the vertical shaft of light disappear, that's when the fragment actually spawns in. You should be able to see it, and if not, just follow any slopes. One thing that sucks is that you can't take a picture of it, so you can't track down any that have rolled off.

Ive seen them spawn then roll. Did you teleport in so close it spawned somewhere and you had no light to guide you? Its hard to lock in on the light pillar accurately in my experience.
