I finally did it! This took me a long time, and not just the actual game. I have sat on this game for years and it had daunted the hell out of me to the point I put it down. I was so overwhelmed. Over time, I had begun to feel a Zelda itch and had begun a 100% run of the franchise. I knew I would get here eventually. And so I inevitably reached this title and thought, okay one step at a time. And I slowly did it. The quests, shrines, looked through every nook and cranny. I decided to do korok seeds separately apart from the other stuff I was doing, which maybe was a mistake on my part, I don't know. But after I had done all the shrines, quests, and gotten all treasure chests in the shrines and defeated Ganon, seeing a mere 28% completion jarred me. I almost put it down again. But I stuck it through. Getting every location and korok seed took forever and there were times I did put the game down, but never forgot about it. Slowly but surely I did it. Then the DLC, which was super fun and challenging! And finally, here i am, with a fair amount of pride and a smile on my face, saying that I finally conquered one of the greatest experiences in a Zelda game I have had in a very long time. Next up is Tears of the Kingdom.

Like did you know with a broadsword you can do quick spin attacks by spinning the joystick?

Can someone provide me with a video of the glitch being done where it actually works? I've seen like eight videos now and there's like eight different ways of doing this and it makes no sense. Preferably a video with the glitch that doesn't make my paraglider not work anymore. Currently I'm only doing it with one heart. I only have a total of four hearts.

Guaranteed to jumpscare you when other people call you.

I’m really split and bought both with plans to return the one I don’t go with.

Not necessarily looking to be as lore accurate Link as possible, but want to keep it close if I can.

Been hung up on which of the two top rock for a few days, figured I’d consult with the experts!

Got the 4 Divine Beasts, maxed out my weapon, bow & shield stash. I guess there's nothing left to do but to face Ganon. Not gonna lie, I'm not looking forward to it. 😅😭

Anyhow, I'm thinking of getting Skyward Sword after finishing the game to learn more about the lore, then I'll start TOTK. What y'all think?

Edit: completed all 120 shrines

I just discovered that you can get unlimited eggs from the chicken but will get attacked by its team of indestructable chicken army.

so i came back to all the shrines i left uncompleted and went to the korok forest one, Fateful Stars. I windbombed to the monk and got sent really high up, to the point i saw something over the walls. i tried for 1h+ to get over them, but i kept getting hit in the roof.
what could be there? is this present in every shrine? ill leave a video so you see

So I’m doing the Revital at Warbler’s Nest Shrine Quest. I have found all the sisters, collected the ingredients, made the Salmon Meunière, and given it to Genli. Now Genli is telling me to collect the other sisters, but they’re not moving.

I turned to Google for help but it’s telling me that the next step is to just go to Warbler’s Nest and they will all be there to sing. But that’s not happening.

Any advice? Am I just missing something?

EDIT: SOLVED! I was missing the sister at the top.

Anybody know of any good recipes to prepare before beating any of the Devine beasts or Ganon?

A while ago I started looking through a Lego type site called BrickLink and found this model of the map of BoTW. I honestly liked it a lot, and I love Breath of The Wild, so I wanted to try and build it, but it would obviously cost a lot, so I wanted to know if anyone who loves the franchise would be interested in buying a fully built version of the model. I know the whole "building" part of legos isn't for everyone, and what I like most about these kinds of models is building them, so I would be willing to give it up once built since I don't really have space to put it. I would sell it at basicaly the same price the PDF and bricks cost me and whatever shipping would turn out to be. 1680- 1750 USD (A lot better if it was local for obvious reasons.) I know its ridiculously expensive for something like this, but I just wanted to hear some opinions on the idea.

ALSO, to be clear, this is not an original MOC made by me, its made by a guy called Galaxy333 on Bricklink. I am no where near talented enough to make something like this and am not trying to steal credit. I would only sell the finished model once, not mass produce it in any way.

Also, for any shipping concerns, I am at the very least capable of modifying the frame/base so the model can be split into 4, 8 etc pieces, and any loose connections like the towers can come in a bag.

EDIT: if you actually want to discuss buying the prebuilt model DM me on discord.

It took me 2 hours to kill thunder blight for a traveler only challenge video!

Super excited to play breath of the wild!

I’m fairly new to the Zelda games as my first experience was pretty mid and I haven’t been back since. The only Zelda game I’ve previously played was tri force heroes on 3ds and I didn’t even finish the game. I’ve heard phenomenal things of this game so my hopes are high!

If you guys have any tips or advice for going through the game that would be very appreciated! I’m a little concerned I’m going to be overwhelmed at the start lol, so all the help I can get without spoilers would be great!

It's my second playthrough. I have done all 4 beasts and their DLC version, I have unlocked the last power, and I was cruising through Hyrule thinking about what to do next.

Something sent me in the desert and I thought it would be a great idea to clear the map, area by area, so I used the Switch 2 app map and I got all Koroks, quests, audio memories and all.

I was HAPPY. I thought I did something and I had to do it like 5/6 more times to clear the whole map.

And then I zoomed out.

Yeah. I'll get back to it and try to do as much as I can before the next game comes out 😂

A while back I shared the start of my project building out the Hyrule map in Lego! Wanted to share where it’s at now! Still some small detail things to add but feel it’s looking good so far 😊

Mf got 10 legs. Anyone like to color my lines?

It's my first playthrough of zelda, has only finished conquering the divine beast ruta and arrived at korok forest, and man they should have nerf flurry rush. It's so OP that lynel become very easy to deal with, literally just spam perfect dodge and flurry rush and you are good. Other mini bosses also become significantly easier with this....

I might just intentionally never use it atp, it kind of ruined the game difficulty for me

I'm laughing at myself as I never finished BoTW and now am playing it through again. Only this time I've since been diagnosed with ADHD and understand my brain a little better. I'm wanting to 100% the game, so thought I'd try something to help me keep track. Not sure if it's insane or helpful, but it's certainly making for an odd experience.

Basically, I'm letting my impulsivity flow, with one caveat: I'm only allowed to have two map areas "going" at any one time (one divine beast region plus one other; "going" means tower activated and map visible). I can't activate a new tower until that map area has had all koroks and (mostly) all treasure chests found (the hardest things to keep track of). But I can still run around other regions wherever impulse takes me.

It's been interesting. On the one hand, my impatience to open a new map area might drive me to give up exploring on my own and reach for help with locating koroks (though I do try to run around each area on my own first). And it can be a little frustrating not being able to see map names (E.g. getting a NPC hint about "washa's bluff" but still having that region darked out). But on the other, I'm kind of liking having to free navigate from memory and sense of location/direction. I had to laugh though: I've only got 4 activated map regions (2 fully complete, 2 active), but have 90 shrines, 395 koroks and nearly all armour upgrades 😅 (also interesting: none of those shrines were found using a sensor or online map, as I have sensor set to treasure chest: turns out you can crack shrines easily when focused on chasing koroks or armour upgrade materials). I've also finally become better at shield parries and flurries, meaning I'm actually getting through shields and weapons more (thankfully! I feel like I'm actually using my treasure chest items this time - last play through I barely lost/broke any shields).

Curious to know if anyone else has weird and wonderful strategies to help them stay focused? (For context: still playing on switch 1 and have zero intent of buying switch 2, so no Zelda notes).

I didn't know this was part of a shrine quest until I met Kass and it got completed.

This is a long one so if you want just skip to my last paragraph I summarize it there. TIA

I actually have a couple questions I wanna ask here, I’ll list those and then give my background info.
1. Should I do master mode in BOTW or move on to TOTK?
2. What Zelda games on switch should I try after TOTK?

So BOTW is my very first Zelda game ever and I’m just now playing it for the first time (I know)
My favorite parts of the game have been
1. Seeing all the memories and getting the backstory of link,Zelda, and what hyrule used to be
2. Exploring the world and finding unique environments
3. Fighting enemies and improving my skills
4 Meeting unique characters and seeing different cities/ lifestyles

So currently I have the master sword, around 17 hearts, 60 shrines done, every tower found, every beast beaten, one set of armor maxed out. I’ve done the major side quests that sound interesting and found every memory.

My next goal is to do more side quests (possibly all of them), explore the castle and beat ganon.
What turned my away from older Zelda games was the dated graphics of some of them, and I always looked at them as “stuck in a small dungeon/room, solve puzzles and move on”
I do not enjoy puzzles they are my least favorite part of these games, I like fighting, exploring, and worldbuilding.
I know the older games have lots of puzzles and less exploration, not as much free roam and ofc the combat will be way different.

I LOVE botw so much and I definitely will play TOTK but my main concern is after TOTK idk if there will be other Zelda games I will enjoy and I don’t want my experience to be over.

Master mode turns me away a little bc I don’t want to have to do all the shrines again, grind my armor and hearts back up, and reach all the towers again

That said I really just now started getting good at combat, using a shield, flip dodges, and flurry rush, and even cooking meals after 75 hours of gameplay. I have beat 5 white mane Lynell’s now
And it would be fun to play the game with the knowledge I have now. But that could also be applied to TOTK and just move on to that game and experience it for the first time.
So master mode or TOTK next?
Also I’ve heard great things about ocarina of time so maybe I’ll try that one on switch after TOTK? Any recommendations based on my likes are appreciated

I've just completed all 4 divine beasts and i'm looking forward to getting the master sword and defeating Ganon. The thing is i want to finish BotW relatively quickly and then Spend a lot of time doing side Quests, completing shrines and grinding in general in Totk because i think the building mechanic and other stuff is pretty cool. So my question is should i move on to TotK and do most of my grinding There or should i grind completly in botw first

edit: the switch is borrowed from an friend so i dont really have that much time with it and thats why i cant just grind both games and take a pause
