I just really like nut … so I had to get it after taking the pic … idk 🤷🏻‍♂️

Me “oh that’s pretty”

Two seconds later “WHAT IS THAT THING”

I’m not sure what that creepy eyeball thing was but it moved fast!

Introducing the HoverWing+

An upgraded version of my original HoverWing. It keeps all of the benefits of the original like gliding to recharge, carrying cargo, etc (see the original HoverWing post for details) but I managed to reduce the weight a bit, and I also rebalanced everything to within an inch of its life to squeeze out a bit more speed and maneuverability without compromising the feel of the original.

Parts List:
Fans x2
Steering Stick (shrunken)
Infinite Wing: (shrunken, must be built with Zonaite) Build Cost: 3-12 Zonaite

Compared to the Hover Bike, the HoverWing+ is worlds better at gaining and losing altitude. The original HoverWing was already faster than the Hover Bike in everything but pure straight-line speed (Hover Bike was 3.2% faster), but the HoverWing+ closes that gap to within my margin of error for testing, with the Hover Bike now only 1% faster or less.

To test the real-world speed, I flew the same path between 12 randomly selected shrines all around the map 3 separate times for each vehicle. The results were remarkably consistent, on average, HoverWing+ is 32% faster than the Hover Bike.

Using the calculated real-world speed for the HoverWing to calculate efficiency,
The HoverWing+ is 32% more energy efficient than the Hover Bike.

Calculating efficiency by speed per Zonaite cost, they are now virtually identical despite the HoverWing+ costing 3 Zonaite more.

*I consider it a Hover Bike replacement because it’s faster and more efficient than a Hover Bike, does the same things but better, and replaces the Hover Bike in my Autobuild favorites. If you think that costing 3 extra Zonaite disqualifies it from being a “Hover Bike Replacement,” we can agree to disagree.

Note: The battery on the underside in the video isn’t part of the HoverWing+. I had that in there so the power gauge wasn’t cluttering the video.

HoverWing+ vs. Hover Bike Speed

Straight Line Speed: Hover Bike <1% Faster

Vertical Climb Speed: : HoverWing+ 58% faster

Peak Dive Speed: : HoverWing: 76% faster

Mixed Real World Speed: HoverWing+ 32% faster

Hello, does anyone know a decent place to get a costume of either the barbarian armour or ember armour? Miicostumes is usually great for outfits from this franchise but don’t make these two and etsy seems to be getting confused by Barbarian and is just showing me leather clad ai slop. I have seen a few different people wear this armour at cons so wasn’t sure if there was a good source.

The gloom hands probably have the reputation of the scariest enemy in this series, but once I learned how to deal with them, they weren’t so intimidating anymore. Plus I get a cool weapon and bow if I defeat phantom ganon afterwards. I’ve recently gotten back into botw with the whole voice memories thing being released for the switch 2 version, and I’ve been finding the guardians annoying af. At least with gloom hands if you don’t wanna fight them, you can outrun them or get to a place outside of their reach and they’ll just dissolve into dark clumps. Whereas with guardians they’ll chase you until you either teleport away or just give in and fight them, not really giving you a choice. Anyway this is my personal take, I’m curious as to how many of you here prefer dealing with guardians or gloom hands more and why.

I don't think that Froxes are creatures of Ganondorf. I think they've always existed in the Depths, and that they just live there. Hear me out.
We don't get a baby variety of any other monster besides Froxes. No Froxes are wreathed in gloom, either. Every other enemy in the Depths is. Sure, they respawn with the blood moon, but that's more for gameplay than lore.
Each Frox location is a big flat circle, with the specific fern-like trees, and a pile of zonaite deposits. They also have deposits on their backs, and both they and the mini-Froxes drop it. They also eat brightblooms.
I think that brightblooms used to grow in the depths, before the ancient race died out due to whatever, and that they were a main food source (or maybe just a tasty delicacy) for the big bois. Froxes just naturally eat and hoard zonaite too, like dragons with gold.
I think that the Froxes are just defending their territory, like nests.
That being said, I love taking these guys out, it's so satisfying. Truly my favorite enemy in game.

At first I thought he'd just be humming the same little tune from BOTW, which he does, but I just caught him humming the first 3 notes of the ballad of the wind fish from Awakening! Are there any other tunes you guys have noticed? It's hard to make out above the sizzling of the pot which is why it took me FOUR YEARS to notice

I know I’m still missing the real trousers from the set but listen this is close enough to activate my Zelda Neurons

As someone who suffers from ADHD, these games have been a life saver for me since their release. I've 100% completed both games yet still look forward to switching the console on and just unwinding after a days work or house chores.

I find a weird sense a peace and calm from the games that allow my brain to just reset even if it's a quick 10-15 minutes playtime.

Anyway, happy gaming, all and thank you, Nintendo for creating these masterpieces!

Okay, so we all know how annoying it can be to traverse the depths early game or just in general. I personally was travelling without materials and needed light. So I walked up to Riju and her lightning thing kind of outlines things. I basically use her as a personal lightbulb.

I just started totk and I have no idea what to do I get distracted all the time and I get confused I don't know how to get recourse and where to explore any advice plz

Note: I will be updating this in the next hour or so with photos of their locations with them in the photo.

So at the very top of the tallest spire there is a bit of damaged area, that is where the dusk bow spawns. The spire is the tower directly above the Inner Sactum.

Now onto the Knights bows

Bow 1: Inside the inner sanctum on the first section of upper levels. Coordinates: -0267, 1079, 0358

Bow 2: just outside of the inner sanctum in Zelda's room. It is resting on right against the wall above her fireplace. Coordinates: -0310, 0995, 0300

Bow 3: Inside Zelda's study on top of her desk. Coordinates: -0383, 0995, 0314

Bow 4: Directly behind tower that holds Zelda's Study, there is an entrance to an inner area that is underground. Jump down and enter it. Then jump down to the area below to the left and look to the east. It is resting next to some rubble in the far right corner. Coordinates: -0351, 0993, 0229

Extra: Occasionally the knights bows will spawn with a bundle of arrows beside them

BONUS: Near the top of the Great Deku Tree, at coordinates 0418, 2208, 0224, there is a respawning forest dweller's bow after you complete the quest at the top of him :)

I want to try to calculate the surface area of the map that Ganondorf's influence covers. Does anyone have a good way to calculate this?

Yeah he uhh glitched into the rock and then had the audacity to shoot me through the damn thing lmao

I had my sensor set to treasure chests, and it kept pointing somewhere between the 1st and 2nd floors. I tried using Ascend, but I couldn't find any hidden room. Then I looked up and noticed something sticking out of the ceiling. I checked it with the camera, and it turned out to be a chest clipping through it.

I think it's the same bug as the reposted one. I guess the chest bugged out during the fight, the transition, or something like that, since the terrain did change.

After saving and reloading, I found a chest that I'm pretty sure was not there in my first video. You can see that nothing is sticking out of the ceiling anymore, and the chest I found has the same handle as the one in the picture I took.
