Hey, so I got the guardian shield from the Sofi Koh trial fight (minor test of strength), and was told that they easily reflect guardian laser shots. Just hold the shield up and it'll automatically deflect the beam. I tried it and it didn't work. I didn't take damage, but the shield, which had been then-unused, broke. What did I do wrong?

Maybe they keep durability better, but I dunno the figures there.

I could never get into shield surfing beyond some specific circumstances because paragliding doesn't degrade my items and OCD is a real fucker about some things. I still get sad sometimes that I failed to be able to enjoy Majora's Mask. Edit: I used to be LividLiquid, if any of you lived through my live-posting of that whole thing.

Finally caved and bought a Switch and my dumb rear end is going to 100% Breath of the Wild. I'm thinking Towers first, then Shrines to get max stamina, then Shrines for Hearts, then I'm going to probably go province by province clearing poo poo out or do whatever is most fun at the time. Is that a feasible way to do it? I know BotW is one of the ones that's a pain to 100%, but I'm still having fun even amidst the grind. It's like what Skyrim promised to do, except they actually did it. Hopefully I'm done by the time 2 drops.

That's roughly what I had fun doing, mostly just running around early on unlocking the towers as good view/travel points, but I also picked up shrines as I found em. I also focused a lot on stamina, but I did a couple hearts early on just to get a bit more health buffer in. Not required if you're more competent at fighting than me.

You may want more hearts earlier on in order to get a unique item. There is also a way to swap your stamina and hearts and back if you want to prioritize stamina but still want the item early. ~Vague~

Totally doable and fine. 100% of korok seeds? All 900 of them? Please don't torture yourself that way. There's a reason why the 100% speed runs of botw are 20+ HOURS long.

Oh yeah, I hadn't thought that part through...I mentioned upthread I only got around 50 seeds, and that personally felt like it got me enough upgrades that I didn't feel cheated.

Sounds perfectly feasible; how long it'll last once you find yourself going "ooo, what's over there that looks interesting" is another matter!

This is what I did too and in retrospect the health upgrades aren't even that useful. Without good armor most things tougher than red bokoblins are going to 2-shot you whether you have 3 hearts or 5, might as well go all in on stamina.

I don't think I've ever killed the Hinox there every since I learned you can just steal the orb off him while he's sleeping if you paraglide onto him

I knew little at that time. I'm pretty sure I slowly killed the Hinox by throwing bombs at it from the top of the cliff and kiting it downwards when it got close. Extremely tedious but simple.

Hunting towers first is fun, but using the world map to figure out which zones you’ve explored based on what the towers illuminate is convenient (w/o hero’s path). Also if you go zone by zone and do a fair amount of a zone the enemies in the next zones (following the path the game guides you on) are usually appropriately difficult. But there’s no wrong way! Bum rush the castle first and loot it if you want!

I just noticed that if you have a torch equipped on Death Mountain it'll burst into flames like all your other wooden equipment, but it won't burn up or go out because it's a torch. So now my hobby is seeing how far off Death Mountain I can run while being on fire. I made it all the way to the Drenan Highlands before a rainstorm struck me for my hubris.

Does 100 percenting the game mean getting all the korok seeds? Even if you offered 100 pounds of crack to a crackhead for getting all korok seeds, it still wouldn't be done.

Ever since though I was interested in the game, is it good? I never got around to playing it but this post makes me thing I should get on that now. It's good with a big asterisk. The game feels a little clunky compared to LA in a lot of ways, you can tell a lot of improvements were made to the engine before it became Zelda. Like, for example a thing that annoyed me a little bit, say you're in a house and you're holding down on the D-Pad to go through the door, screen transition to the city and you're still holding down, your character will not keep walking down on the new screen. You gotta raise your thumb and press down again to keep walking. So minor but I have no idea why it's like that. The battle system of the game is not like Zelda much at all. It's trying to be more like an RPG but at the same time it's not. I really don't know what to call it. You don't actually fight things, you just walk into them and then it automatically starts an animation and then your speed/health stats determines if you're gonna win or not. There are only two battles I can remember where you have any actual input into the fight once it starts, a boss where you use one item to make the enemy stagger and another item to finish the battle. And then the final boss has some actual arpg real time battle mechanics in his final form (sort of a timing minigame.) There is no leveling, so really no grinding. Stats are upgraded by finding some special items in chests. There aren't too many and so the game is overall pretty easy. The dungeons are purely side scrolling like the few side scrolling parts of LA. The only time you should grind is when you first get the ability to transform into frog or snake. You end up at a town that sells eggs and fruit. The game tells you flat out that you should consider buying some eggs and fruit, listen to the game, go kill a bunch of bugs for coins and max out your eggs and fruit. It makes the rest of the game way less annoying. It is a lot more linear than LA, the world is not as big, the game is very short (I beat it in 2 days, you can probably beat it in 1). Sometimes it's a little confusing where to go next but there are only so many places and they're not far from each other so this wasn't too big of a problem. It's on og gb game so a lot of this is sorta expected. The story though is wild. I don't even know what to make of it. It's not cliche and was interesting enough to keep me playing through the game to find out where it was all going. It's the kind of plot I don't want to say too much about because I wouldn't want to spoil it. But, I had just finished Final Fantasy Adventure to get the first 3 SoM games done, and compared to that the story in this game is a masterpiece. I'm not sure how the original Japanese is, and the only way to play this in English is with an unofficial translation patch but assuming the patch is somewhat faithful then this game some really, really good writing. It has a very HAL Labs vibe. I think the game just really wanted to tell its story and show its world more than anything, so the mechanics took a back seat to all that. All in all, it's a gameboy game and all that comes with that, but if you can get past that it's not a huge investment and totally worth playing.

Yeah, each seed adds to your total percentage. BrainDance posted:It's good with a big asterisk. Thanks for the info, the story part really piqued my interested and I want to know more but I'll definitely play it through myself now. I'm curious as to where that goes, and I'm curious if the trophy in Melee spoiled it but I can't remember what the trophy even said.

If you can put up with a little bit of Old Game Jank, it's very good. Definitely give it a play-through, it's super cool to see a non-Zelda game made by the Link's Awakening crew.
