Is there an easy way to switch between arrows (not bows) in BOTW without having to go into the inventory each time?

With the bow equipped (maybe drawn?), the d-pad that changes shields changed arrows instead.

Tokelau All Star posted:Is Age of Calamity fun? Do the stages take more than 15 minutes? I often have times around the 45-minute range or longer in the main storyline battles, but that's taking time to look for koroks and loot. Most of the time there is a lull in the flow or you can avoid triggering events for that purpose. Overall it's not as hectic as the first HW unless you approach it that way deliberately, and the only time bonus you get is extra rupees. There's no rating system like in HW. I thought it was great fun, there are a ton of shorter challenge and training stages too, just not nearly as many as HW but that's a pretty high bar.

I've been playing more Second Wind all weekend, and it's definitely still really fun, especially all the brand new content like a big cave system connecting the different parts of hyrule, but the quality of the shrine edits is very mixed. it seems like every shrine flips a coin and half the time the result is a fun twist on the original with a bit more difficulty and/or combat or something completely new and pretty interesting, and the other half the time the shrine is a 20 minute snoozefest where they filled literally every corner of available space with twisty corridors that you traverse, mindlessly pressing buttons and flipping switches while absolutely nothing of interest happens. Sometimes you fight a guardian scout! some of the designers for these new shrines clearly took the "shrines are too easy/short to be dungeons" complaints a bit too literally lol

Totk (and retroactively Botw) needs more insect enemies. I loving despise moths, so I would love to fight a big rear end version of Mothula. Also, most of my memories of OoT were looking for skulltulas

Sometimes you fight a guardian scout! I've been messing around with Second Wind too due to the posts in this thread about it and yeah, the overhauled shrines are a real mixed bag. If this is their idea of extra challenge then I don't think I want to find out what the Labors of the Hero are like. Come to think of it, the last time I replayed BotW was before I got my OLED Switch, so maybe I'll just do that instead.

Are there any good videos or something that explains the tech behind BotW? Like for instance when you're way up high and it feels like you can see most of the map. I know it's not really rendering everything and you do see pop-in sometimes as you get closer to things, but overall it does a pretty good job of seeming like everything you can see from your vantage point is rendered and not some visual trick. But I'm assuming there are tons of visual tricks used that are integrated seamlessly. Like how there are times when a big mountain or location like Hyrule castle appears in the distance but seems a lot closer than it actually is or bigger than it should be at that distance. e: especially considering it's doing all this on a Switch, and you don't experience framerate drops from up high, though you do in the more object-filled villages and such.

bringing back Like-Likes feels like it’d be a no-brainer since shields and weapons are already expendable

I don’t have one on-hand but I’m pretty sure it mostly just comes down to good use of LOD and atmospheric fog. LOD (level of detail) is a feature all games use where the game switches a model out for a simpler, lo-res version when you move the camera away from it. A model can have multiple LODs for medium distance and medium detail, far distance and low detail, super-far distance and super-low detail, etc. And atmospheric fog is used so that distance objects get a kinda bluish haze over them so that you mostly just see their silhouettes and the low detail is less obvious

The game strategy guide for BotW must have a chapter titled "Oh, so all I have to do is pick it up and hold it?"
