they're powered by courage. when you reduce it to the nano level it's a series of puzzles and a skeleton.

Link has the ability to punch NPCs in A Link to the Past when you let the blacksmiths temper your sword.

It's funny how differently you find things in TotK depending on how you play through it. My first time, I ran away from the first gloom hand I saw, and didn't fight them or meet Phantom Ganon until I was getting pretty close to the end. I remember thinking to myself that's all? when I beat him without any trouble. This time, I ran into one much earlier and started a fight with Phantom Ganon. I realized I was in over my head and decided to run away, only for him to teleport over and KO me from behind my back right when I thought I was getting away. I feel like that's a much more entertaining introduction, I wish that had happened the first time around.

I forget the shrine name, but it was near lookout landing, and was up on a ledge overlooking essentially a giant pit that contained the hands. I scrabbled up the wall and waited for them to despawn, because I had 4 hearts and a half-gone stick on me. The next time, it was a bit further into a cave near dueling peaks stable. This time, I figured I'd try to fight the hands, since I had a decent number of bombs and arrows. The hands went down like a chump, but I didn't realize what came next, panicked a bit, and tried to ascend away. As soon as I popped out up top, so too does Phantom Ganon, who just proceeds to "Nothing personal, kid" me and 1 shot me as I tried to run away. I didn't actually defeat Phantom Ganon until much later, when I went to try to find my way into the lost woods. Even then, it was carpet bombing the entire area, followed by lots and lots of elemental arrows to the face.

It's very satisfying going from being absolutely terrified of the Hands and hurriedly looking for any way out whenever they pop up, to seeing the sky turn red and dark and hearing their shrill cry and responding with "oh, it's that kind of night, is it?!" and slapping their poo poo in.

1st encounter: Hyrule Field, sunshine. Panicked and ran like a baby. 2nd encounter: Necluda I think, on the road to Hateno. Rainy. Death. 3rd encounter: Depths under the Lost Woods, heading toward the Deku Tree. Sprinting for all I'm worth, getting caught and escaping multiple times, going through at least two fairies, until I saw the ascension pillar from a distance and the spawn turned back. Victory of a sort. 4th encounter: Labyrinth. Bombed from safety above, then a skin-of-my-teeth Phantom Ganon battle. Victory. This I feel is a pretty much ideal experience.

Although I don't think there's a very direct analogue to gitting gud at parrying and just slapping away guardian lasers with a pot lid, that's something I miss from the first game.

First time.i faced them I got my rear end kicked over and over until I decided to come back later. It didn't help that I never fused items with monster parts wanting to have them due to me hoarding. Once I started using fused weapons he started to get easier and once I decided to just carpet bomb him with the 5x shot Lionel bow I don't think I saw him form the actual Ganon. By the time I got to the fight with a bunch of them I was hoping that my Buddies would just faint so I could take them all on at the same time

Wingnut Ninja posted:I was wondering if there's supposed to be some trick to them, I always just cheese them with a lynel bow and bomb arrows. That's pretty much the trick, yeah. If you don't kill all the hands at about the same time, they will respawn quickly, which basically necessitates that you carpet bomb them till they all die. I'd've loved a couple more options for that part of the fight, but it's not like they were exactly common enemies.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Evading them by climbing up a rock or something is the only trick I can think of, but that just feels like exploiting their movement, not anything neat. I always just bomb arrowed them however much I could, too.

Bomb arrows are ideal but any kind of area-of-effect arrow from outside their reach will do the job in a pinch.

Wouldn't be a Switch Zelda game without one of those "you can do that??" moments E: I did one of the halo jump shrines near the path to Rito Village, expecting it to be a reward shrine but instead it's an archery tutorial. Like, why here? Kassad fucked around with this message at 09:50 on May 16, 2024 |

I don't know if they break zonai tech but you could probably make a few robots to keep the hands occupied/knock you out of their hands while you hack and slash.

I came across the hands a couple times in the field and ran the hell away from them after the first time I got grabbed. When I ran into them in this exact cave I realized they couldn't follow me up the ledge and sniped at them with arrows. I was feeling pretty smug until Phantom Ganon showed up, and he was definitely able to climb the ledge. I managed to beat him after a tense fight that depleted my entire inventory and learned my lesson about respecting The Hands.

I prefer guardian hunting and the hands just aren’t the same to me. That maze basement guardian nest in BOTW is A+.

Yeah, the guardians were better in pretty much every way, from their design to the way you fought them. They were probably trying to take a different approach to gatekeeping areas, by trying to scare you before or after the fact. It was cool how in BotW you could see Hyrule Castle from a distance, but them you look down at the surround field that's crawling with guardians and decide "nah, maybe later".

I like to think all those statues that shoot lasers at you in LttP are actually guardians. The first time I encountered a guardian in BoTW - the one without legs in the abbey on the Great Plateau - I thought it was just like that similar shaped enemy in OoT that has a rotating laser head, the one where you have throw a bomb at it and time it right so it explodes by the head. I spent way too long trying to bomb that first guardian.

Yeah I still put guardians on a higher tier just because getting the timing down on the laser parry and taking them out that way is so satisfying. Though the ToTK team did a way better job of putting mini bosses in areas you're guaranteed to stumble over them if you're going in blind somewhere. Getting jump scared by a Frox is way more intense and memorable than running over a Talus.

Yeah in my opinion the mini bosses and full on boss fights in Tears are better than any in Breath. I mean the DLC fight with the monk was the best boss fight in BoTW for me.
