The tools of a hero mean nothing without a solid core.

Here's a fun one: Try bombing yourself by accident and the resultant shockwave throwing you from the plateau, the damage from that being what kills you.

There's a clip out there of a guy playing around with the AI. Throws a Korok Leaf to a bokoblin who picks it up. Then while laughing at the poor boko with a leaf, it blows him off a cliff to his death.

That sledge hammer really demonstrates why I love two handed weapons the most in this game. Their stamina attack is just spinning, forever, as long as you have stamina. Once you get some stamina upgrades, Link can just turn into a blender of death.

Also I'm guessing you're using the interactive map to keep track of the koroks etc

Gotta cool off after all that burning :v:


Speaking of burning, noticed a boko picking up a flaming weapon, then setting fire to himself somehow, never seen that before.

Reasonably certain he was touching/ran into something else on fire.

There wasn't anything else on fire nearby though, I think he might actually have stepped on the weapon just as he picked it up.

The rune powers the game gives you are surprisingly versatile. Bomb fishing is the funniest use, but bombs can also be used for woodcutting. Cryonis works on bogs, which makes several areas of the game significantly less irritating.

I got sick of wasting fire arrows and eventually just started melting ice chunks with campfires.

For Yami, who said that 100 stamps probably isn't enough, I can say it's 100% not if you wanted to try and mark every point of interest. I've probably used over half of my allotment just marking all the cooking pots I've found outside of towns. And I got down to twentyish left trying to mark overworld bosses to farm at a later point, before giving up on that. Right now I mostly just mark cooking pots and korok puzzles that I couldn't solve

I can't decide which of three things in BoT I like the least.
"Never enough stickers"
Rain when you're already in the middle of climbing stuff.
And the final stage of pallet swaps making me immediately U turn from "The durability system is just fine :buddy:" to "Holy loving poo poo this is obnoxious :argh:"

Probably that last one. As those meatwalls showing up more often are what made me shift gears into rushing to beat the game, rather than taking my sweet time puttering around for ages. Even when they dropped the most blinged out weapon in all the land, just gently caress those guys.

So another advantage to the Bokoblins having giant goofy heads is it's easier to crit them, as you might expect of tutorial enemies.

I like LPs which combine a host knowledgeable about the game with a host going in blind. It provides both perspectives on a game.

Strawhat is a good group of commentators. They have nice chemistry and are actually not annoying to listen to, a rarer trait.

This is a good LP. My only wish is that I didn't see this until much much later. Now I gotta wait for videos to come out and can't binge watch the game.

Also, what was the shiny object under the tree with the korok?
