NSC, Nintendo Stable Coin...no not that sort of stable coin but a Stable coin.

I think they mean that taming a horse is time consuming and annoying and not fun.

Easiest way to get the horse you want is to ice arrow it and mount/soothe when it unfreezes.

It was Nintendo‘s first attempt at making a massive open world exploration game. Considering everything they got right, it’s easy to forgive some quirkiness with the horses.

Sounds like someone never played Zelda 1 in in 1988.

It went to the same place where Link's weapons always go between games when it's the same incarnation of him.

Zelda took it apart to study it and Link has no idea how to put it back together.

Mine was named Sally. She was brown and white and very gentle. I named her Sally because every time I rode her we would sally forth.

I still have her registered and boarded in a stable and once in a while I'll take her out for a ride and pet her and feed her apples and carrots.

I just don't like how the horses *feel* in this game, they feel like lumbering city buses that make traversal clunkier and less fun even if they're technically faster than running around on foot. I don't know if they're different in past games, or if I've just played enough other games with more agile horseriding now that the Zelda horse style just doesn't work for me any more.

In my limited experience horses are huge lumbering inconveniences that make everything a giant hassle, so BotW horses track.

There is a DLC item that you eventually can get that allows for horse teleportation, so yes.

Horse God is just the job. Horses are absolutely crap at worship and offerings. They can't even tell each other about you. You want quality worship, you need someone with hands and language.

I still don't like the 1/4-heart challenge at the start of Champion's Ballad, but running up and snacking the poo poo out of a surprise Guardian using the Obliterator is pretty satisfying :black101:

I can't stand it, I'm just not good enough at the game to handle one-hit combat so I have to keep retrying each area. And I'm sick of the shrines resetting you back to the start because I have to run through them a dozen times, and I get frustrated and start making stupid mistakes like walking into spikes or off a cliff. It just feels like something that should be its own sidequest, not the gate for a bunch of other fun content and a neat reward.

If you can kill Lynels, get their three arrow bows or if you’re lucky, a five arrow bow. Then spam the poo poo outta the trial with lightning arrows. Spam them over and over and stun the hell out of all of them. Then go in for the kill with one hit special weapon.

Basically I found two sections doable and two really tough. It wasn't bad when I could find a good perch to take out most of the group at range, but I had trouble with the other two because I ended up having to go in at closer range to find everyone. Then I'd either get taken out by a surprise arrow or one of the more aggro enemies before I could manage to obliterate them.

Or bump into a spiked fortification while fleeing in terror from them :v:
