I, for one, am shocked that the game by Japanese game developers has elements that resemble Japanese culture & history

Supposedly handed down from the literal gods who literally founded the Japanese imperial line, but always kept from public view. If I had to make a comparison, it'd be like the British crown jewels, or the various saints' relics the Catholic church has. The magatama/tear-shaped jewel is fairly prominent in Japanese history and mythology, which makes it weirder that it's not even called a magatama in the Japanese version of ToTK!

Even if you don't recognize it you've seen them somewhere in Japanese or Japanese-inspired games. They were the basis for Okami's weapons for example.

Special mention for Link to the Past where the entire backstory about Agahnim taking over after stopping a drought is taken from a chapter of the book.

Finally remembered to kill a molduga, it was, uh....anticlimactic. It spawned when I was up on a tall enough cliff that I could lure it over with a junk item, jump off and get a bunch of slo-mo shots in, and climb back up without hitting the ground. I figured they'd at least restrict it to more open area where you have to use the small pillar ruins to stay off the sand.

Apparently Sidon’s water bubble is strong enough to keep you from taking any damage when it breaches under you

The water buff seems pretty OP the more I play with it. I just wish it was less of a pain in the rear end to activate. Somehow I can activate the god drat wind gust every 5 seconds whether I want it or not. But Sidon is never anywhere to be found during a fight. Really I wish the gust only worked if you have the glider out. On the ground it’s anywhere from annoying to actively harmful.

Do you like the wet buff it gives you for Zora weapons, or the mitigation of a single hit? If it's the former you can upgrade the froggy armor really easily, it has really weirdly good armor rating and secretly boosts the length of time you stay wet from 45 to 180 seconds. Also easy climbing in the wet but when I finally got mine upgraded the game mysteriously decided to stop making everywhere always rainy all the time

I didn’t realize until last night that constructed items only last so long- I made my hover bike and was exploring the underground for a few hours, recharging my batteries now and then and landing near light roots to activate them and hopping back on when I completed that. Suddenly my hover bike blinked and disappeared and I landed in a giant skeleton and was attacked by gloom horriblins and gloom hands

Oh, the hover bikes disintegrate? I knew the bigger flying platforms did that, but I thought it was the larger wings and metal grates that did it and the fans were exempt.

Specifically it was the fans that disintegrated whenever I spent more than an hour flying around I’d be left falling to my death holding a steering stick like Wile E Coyote

I am continuing my slow, leisurely rescue of hurtle. Finished 3/4 regional phenomena last night. Definitely enjoyed the actual Fire Temple more than the Sky or Water versions. The lead up to sky and water was better but I liked the minecart stuff. I do wish there was a little more combat stuff involved in these but whatever. The boss was way too easy, at least the Sky temple monster had the insane spectacle and kickass dive bombing. The idea of shooting yunobo up the rafters was cool but outside of the quarter heart damage you take from getting tossed off the boss, I didn’t get damaged a single time. Hoping the gerudo temples boss is a bit more challenging. Finally started getting silver baddies to show up on the way up death mountain. I am probably “over leveled” for the regional phenomena quests at this point as a result but they’re still fun. Definitely starting to hit a little bit of a wall as far as exploration goes, I think I’m gonna have to start tapping out on some of the stable quests and similar stuff soon. On the bright side, I think the vehicle building stuff is starting to be a little more fun now that I have sufficient battery to actually power stuff for a little while, and access to basically all the parts I need.

Is there some secret to destroying armor? Normally I just use a bomb arrow but on lynels that still takes forever.

It doesn't outright destroy armor, but it does a weirdly high amount of damage to the armor. Some of the other zonai devices also do that

Bismack Billabongo posted:I am continuing my slow, leisurely rescue of hurtle. Finished 3/4 regional phenomena last night. The nice thing about how the leveling works is that I don’t think you can really over level and screw yourself. I guess if you’ve completely ignored shrines in favor of story progression and have like 6 hearts it would be a little rough. Yeah you start encountering silver mobs but you also start finding higher quality weapons and mobs drop better items to fuse onto them. So as long as you aren’t stubbornly using 4 damage bokoblin horns on a 4 damage club combat should mostly feel fine. If you keep progressing one of the main quests you will also get a very nice weapon Make sure you’re upgrading your armor. Getting the Hylian set to 3 stars is trivial and 4 stars isn’t that bad compared to some sets. It will tamp down incoming damage A LOT Finally don’t be stingy with consumables. Make a lot of +3 banana dishes and it’ll be noticeable. Food ingredients are very easy to come by, no reason to hoard. Basically yeah combat gets harder but your tool kit to handle it grows too, you just have to make a point of using it
