Oh god, I forgot you can actually get it way sooner. You can buy replicas after you finish building the town. That's what I was thinking of.

poo poo, I think I found my reason to raid the castle before the first divine beast lol

I think you can only get it in Tarrey Town after you've got the original from the castle. Same as with the armour that guy sells; you have to have found at least one piece before he starts selling the set.

I'm 55 hours until my second romp through BOTW. First was on Wii U at release and now it's Switch with the DLC.

I'm casually hunting for Tarry Town cause I don't remember where it is but I'm trying to do this as blind as possible. Is it on the Eastern side of the map?

Have you bought Link's house yet? The quest to start building Tarry Town doesn't start until you've purchased the house. It's in the middle of Lake Akkala joined by a land bridge, yes east side of the map

was the reward for the trading quest. the reward for collecting 100 skulltulas is infinite money, aka literally nothing. really it shouldn't be that surprising how collecting anything past half the korok seeds is pointless, stuff like this is pretty much a series trademark

I guess, the original Link's Awakening I believe gave you a really good sword upgrade.

I think I got that basically by accident when first checking out Hyrule Castle.

I do like that you're basically encouraged to raid the endgame dungeon for loot long before you're ready to face the final boss.

I didn't go near the castle until I was confident that I was basically done with the game. I was worried I'd go too far in and stumble across Ganon.

Also BotW is already four years old. :(

I avoided the castle too - wasn't sure if I'd get locked into some endgame scenario I wasn't prepared for.

I sneaked into the docks early and snaffled myself a GIANT FLAMING SWORD. Then I decided the clever thing to do was exit with my loot via the map, which was when I found out that dumps you at the castle exit overlooking Castle Town (with chest radar pinging like mad). Oh my god it was a thrill. Heart in my mouth all the time. Can't recommend early Hyrule Castle tourism highly enough.

I don't think you have to fully decorate your house before the Tarrey Town quest starts, but you do need to buy the house and do some of the basic renovations.

I put the fire, ice and lightning greatswords on my weapon displays.

I’ve never gone straight to Hyrule Castle right after dropping off the great plateau. Gonna start a new run soon and try that. Goal will be to get to the Hylian shield in the dungeon cell block.

Once you got 20 and got the sword the rest disappeared and were replaced with rupees, so it’s kinda like collecting all of them!

I don’t quite put it up on the pedestal a lot of other goons do, the ocean got boring for me fast. But the music is the best in all of Zelda, and some of the dungeons are the best in all of Zelda too. I like the game’s version of Ganon, it’s an awesome unique take, though I like Calamity Ganon more.

I've never actually played the HD version, can you still get Link to meow when he's following whatsername the safebreaker around? It's quite possibly the silliest and most delightful easter egg in all of Zelda.

Do you think it was awkward when Zelda 1/2 Link saved the second Princess Zelda? Which one of them gets to be next in line? Did one of them have to change her name so that it was clear which Zelda they were talking about?

I was going to say Zelda 1/2 Link is the only one to rescue two Princess Zeldas, but that might not be true. If you believe what Nintendo says that the Oracle Link is the same as LttP Link (which I personally do not) then there would need to be two Zeldas, as the Zelda he rescues in the Oracle games doesn't recognize him, seeming to have never met him. That, or she suffers from amnesia.

lol I didn't know that, I thought that Zelda was just unluckier than normal. Obviously they had a princess fight afterwards to determine which was the True Zelda.

So I’m trying to collect all the Zelda games between my Wii-U and 3DS. I think I have every single game except for Four Swords and Four Swords Adventures. Is there currently a way to obtain these games through official means with the systems I have? Or am I relegated to emulation if I really want to play them?
