I dunno if it's the sound or the rumble, but it feels so satisfying and correct to do that I can't imagine fighting them any other way.

lol the debrief after the Crisis at Hyrule Castle quest is extremely funny if you've already gotten the master sword and the fifth sage. "Wait a minute... there's more than four sages! We need to find the fifth!" [Link gestures] "What you already found them?! Oh uh, well then, we should probably figure out what happened to the Master Swo-" [Link gestures] "O-Oh, you already have that too... wow that's amazing. Well we have no idea where Ganondorf could be hiding, maybe in the depths? Go talk to-" [Link gestures] "...So you already know exactly where Ganondorf is in the depths. Okay then, uh... good luck I guess?"

RPATDO_LAMD posted:How many zelda games do i have to have played to understand this and is the answer more than zero There's specifically one forest you cannot normally enter and cannot normally navigate in its own section of the map. It's also the same forest you would go to for the Master Sword in Breath of the Wild Explicit location, because i never found a better explicit hint other than the game strongly suggesting to seek the place out again:top center of the map There's a lot more to it than just "okay now warp to a nearby tower/sky shrine and go here" , it's a neat little navigation puzzle + one boss fight to get pointed in the right direction from there. It also has one of the most convenient combinations of inn/shop/second shop in the game when you have it cleared up

Oh yeah, I guess from my admittedly hazy memory of Ocarina as a kid I’d assumed BotW/TotK Link was also supposed to be “from” the lost woods in some sense? But I’m not sure that’s actually meant to be true. It does amuse me to imagine this feral chaos child wandering out of the forest one day and becoming the kingdom’s greatest warrior.

I think being a Kokiri foundling is just OoT Link's backstory, usually he's from a plain ol' Hylian village, like Outset Island in Wind Waker or Ordon in Twilight Princess. I always assumed BotW Link was from Hateno Village, but no one there remembers him because he spent a hundred years snoozing in the life soup.

BotW's DLC and some of Zelda's diaries actually give us the most fleshed out backstory we ever had for this Link and its appropriately insane. His dad was a big shot knight who got put on a cultural exchange with the Zora when Link was little to teach Mipha how to fight. Which is how Link has all the Zora friends who recognize him in both games. We also learn he was a combat savant who was beating the poo poo out of adults in training by like 6 or 7 years old. Edit: lol, went back to check Mipha's diary and Mipha's diary posted:" At the request of Hyrule's king, a group of outsiders came to greet us at the domain. One of them was a Hylian child of only about four years of age. His name was Link. He made quite a first impression. He was curious and full of energy, with a ready smile. Are all Hylian children that way? One thing that surely sets him apart is his swordsmanship, which I hear is exceptional. He has even bested adults. He must be somewhat reckless, however, as he was covered in bruises." — Mipha's Diary (Breath of the Wild) He was a four year old who could run around beating the poo poo out of people Zore fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Jun 1, 2023 |

Yeah the BotW/TotK iteration of Link is really interesting because pretty much every other time he's just a rando who gets roped into greater circumstances and rises to the challenge, meanwhile here he's implied to be of noble birth and also a naturally peerless swordsman to the point that he's beating the poo poo out of adults as a toddler and by the time he's actually come of age is implied to have been Hyrule's very one one man army. IIRC the Zelda diaries in BotW even imply that he was picked to serve as her knight less because he was able to draw the Master Sword and more because he was just indisputably the greatest knight in the kingdom. I also really like that Link spent his childhood with the Zora and Zelda her childhood with the Gerudo. It makes the various races feel more like a cohesive society in these games than they do in any of the others. Also that Link being a silent protagonist is actually explained as him being kinda awkward and self-conscious outside of battle and just defaulting to "if I don't say anything I can't embarrass myself" and when Zelda actually manages to get him to open up it turns out he's a loving goof. Definitely my favorite incarnations of Link and Zelda by quite a bit.

I killed my first Lynel and it was a white mane. I never killed a Lynel in BOTW without using Stasis so it felt like quite an accomplishment.

If I remember right, the Champions Ballad DLC added a diary entry somewhere that talked about how Link is so freakisly strong that he kept shattering swords during combat training, which pissed the blacksmiths off a lot but also explains why weapons seemed so fragile. The truth is they aren't, Link is just built different.

Okay I didn't know that bit but that's really funny, now we can imagine Link as like... the sort of Hylian equivalent of a greyhound but for fighting instead of running. Somebody bred this kid to be super good at something and it's kind of messed up to let him do it but if you try to keep him inside all day he gets neurotic as hell. He doesn't talk much but he has a few friends who are nice to him and every so often he gets to just beat the poo poo out of everything around him, then eat a bunch of barely-above-dubious food.

I still love how Age of Calamity has a cutscene where Daruk hands him a Rock Roast and he just digs in to a literal goddamn rock. Makes sense considering he can eat Rock Hard Food in BoTW but still lmao

Also emphasizes Zelda's inferiority complex in BotW; she had perfectly normal struggles to find her role, but was comparing herself to a freak of combat.

Nobody expected Link to be the chosen one but he was just so perfect at the role from the get go he sort of fell into it. Meanwhile everybody expected Zelda to be the chosen one from birth and put her down when she wasn't able to immediately awaken to her abilities. It's quite natural that at least initially Zelda resented the hell out of Link.

What's been the best approach for collecting Korok seeds? I've been using an interactive map for most other things (by putting stamps on the map) but there's so many of these that it would just get stressful. I think I've naturally picked up about 25 (and put most of that into weapons), but I keep hitting having to ignore shields and bows due to how low their capacity is for me. I've got over 2/3 of the shrines done, and have most of the armour, so figured it was maybe time to switch things up and gather the seeds to max inventory. Just looking for the most efficient way of doing it though. Those korok reuniting tasks give you 2 seeds for example, but the faff of dealing with them is probably slower than picking up a rock.

Kin posted:What's been the best approach for collecting Korok seeds? Hovercycle is the best way of dealing with korok reunions. 100% delivery, no guessing rocket trajectories, no getting stuck in ditches It’s also pretty good for single koroks, just roam around following the interactive map. There are some you won’t be able to get to because they’re hidden in caves but otherwise you can reach most of them flying around

But anyway in LttP, LBW and BotW the Master Sword is in the Lost Woods. Which is far north, west of Death Mountain.

Vague endgame spoilers: Yes, you're pretty close. There will be a specific point of no return, it'll be easily recognizable once you're there. More specific endgame spoilers: It's the room with the murals from the prologue segment with Zelda.

I've been using it to explore the depths and cheese the traversal in the sky. I read that you only need to get about 400 of them to max out inventory space so, I guess it's background TV time while I whittle them off.

There's also a big pile of gibdo parts, free for the taking, in one of the Gerudo palace courtyards after you've completed the temple. I haven't checked if it respawns, but it's definitely worth checking if you haven't.

Got through the Fire Temple last night. Really feel good about saving the Gorons from the crack epidemic and wish it were that easy in real life. Also not a big fan of my new Goron buddy. I'm pretty sure he's saying "I can do it!" but it really, really feels like he's yelling "why'd you do it??" very accusingly at me. (Actually, the Rito buddy kinda sucks too, made me feel like I'm guest-starring in an episode of DuckTales, but at least he's mostly shut up now that he's in ghost form.) How do I go about getting the Master Sword? I haven't wanted to google it in case of spoilers, but I haven't even gotten a breadcrumb or anything yet, and I'm 2 temples in and explored quite a bit of the map now. I forget how it worked in BotW, but I thought I'd been pointed there by now but had been put off by the heart requirement. e: gently caress I gotta go find the korok forest, don't i?
