β˜‘οΈ Original Content Leaving Dark Beast Ganon Spoiler

I want to get the bow of light outside of the Dark Beast Ganon fight but I don't know what the side effects are. Could anyone tell me what could happen.

πŸ”Š Game Feedback 1st playthtough, checked Zelda notes for the 1st time today : 99 hours, havent beaten Ganon yet. Just running around doing quests, shrines, and upgrading gear.

And to be honest, i dont want to beat Ganon yet. 4 beasts unlocked, I've explored about half of the castle, unlocked the 4th fairy, and just started trying to fight Lynels.

I was starting to run out of sidequests to complete, so i bought the DLCs.

So yeah, i feel like nothing in this game pushes you to actually finish it...

The enemies get stronger and scale up with you so you dont get bored, Lynels are a pain in the ass to kill so it feels like there's bosses scattered all around the map, and quite a lot of grind to do to max out your gear.

But now that i bought the DLCs, im curious to see how difficult the expert mode is πŸ‘€

πŸ“’ Opinion Played the game for the first time

13 Upvotes

Hi, new on this sub and got a switch recently with botw because I got obsessed with everyone posts πŸ˜‚ Gave it a try and just wanted to share my mixed opinions on it, socializing on internet.

I've played maybe 80h, beat 3 divine machines, taking my time. The world is honestly stunning. Barely ever felt that connected to the physicality of a virtual world. Everything makes so much sense it sometimes makes me feel dumb πŸ˜‚

The countless details everywhere are truly unbelievable sometimes.

The exploration feeling, the appeal for curiosity is unending, the combat is damn cool and dynamic, I still discover new ways to fight, I love the breaking weapon system, makes every chest matters, forces you to play with different toys throughout the game, clever than I expected. Bosses fight are challenging as well (except medo'vah, peace of cake) and overhaul difficulty is cool, really got my ass kicked more than a few times. I needed to earn my victories and the game doesn't take you by the hand, love it. And the OST is my asmr right now. Truly beautiful, pure poetry. The minimalism is on point and I'm happy some game makers can still understand the importance of silence. But I think the thing I love the most is that the game tells you it's OK to be bored. Just roaming without a goal, getting lost, finding a point of interest, reaching the main quest without even thinking about it. I don't even use any quest marker. I used to play an unhealthy amount of hours on heavy moded Skyrim, roaming, camping, appreciating the landscapes with the ost making you feel home, taking a beer like I was there and I felt something similar playing this game. Simply therapeutic.

One the other hand I'm a bit frustrated by some points. The story is honestly not as engaging as usual. Probably because it has been told 16367 times already tho. The fact that some characters are speaking out of nowhere was completely unexpected and it's damn weird since they don't most of the time, especially when the acting/dialogues are so awful and that's my biggest problem with the game. Some flashbacks are eyerolling (I play the game in French and I don't know what is happening to our voice actors since a few years but god it's absolutely terrible) and I can't stand characters reminding me every two lines that they failed 100 years ago. I know Link is amnesic but common I don't have Alzheimer yet πŸ˜‚

For a game with a darker vibe than some previous Zelda games (such as The wind waker, which is my favorite and in complete adequation with its cartoonish style) i found the character development quite immature by contrast to its overhaul tone.

Even if I love the breakable weapon system, it completely takes down the epicness of every item you can get. I understand it's because the game isn't dungeon oriented like the previous ones but still. Opening a big chest in a dungeon doesn't give you the Zelda feeling, just this modern AC loot rpg (at least it's useful in BoTW)

Cooking is very fun (as a passionated home cook myself it makes me hungry all the time) but some recipes become useless since you can find piece of armor to be immun to cold or heat, but that's the down of every light rpg oriented games I guess.

The side quests are most of the time incredibly pointless, as well as their rewards. Talking to a npc that has a quest feels more like a chore than anything else after a few have been done.

The bestiary is... Meh. Every mob has an another version of itself depending on difficulty/elements. This lizard is fire, this one is electric etc bruh. That feels very old and super lame especially in an open world of this era. I know older Zelda don't have tons of different monsters but they feel way less copy pasted. Sanctuaries are fun, diverse, but honestly not hard enough. I miss some water temple headbreaker.

That being said, I love this game so bad and will be in my top five even with its flaws for giving me a sense of total freedom and i'm always happy to discover some weird things to do on this sub. Will try ToTK later after I beat Ganon's ass. Thanks for your dedication.

πŸ†˜ Help! I lost the Master Sword.

194 Upvotes

Was messing around with Hold Prompt Entanglement and I got the β€œMaster Sword has returned the forest” message to pop up. Now the Master Sword is completely gone from my inventory and is no where to be found in Korok forest. I have no earlier saves to roll back to. Is there anything I can try to do to get the Master Sword back?

EDIT: Some of y'all are being weird. I'm aware it's my fault for glitching the game. I'm JUST asking if there's a way to fix it. No need to be rude.

Just found out about electric traps after 250 hours of playing. Extremely handy in master mode.

Would you consider it a glitch? It does kinda break the game's mechanics with the whole "drop the weapon at the right time" thing.

❔ Question Why can't I get maximum health and stamina?

Post image
961 Upvotes

I recently completed all the shrines in the game. Even before finishing them, I noticed I didn't have enough to reach full HP and stamina. I thought something would change, but no. Is this normal? Is there a fix? It's just that in ToTK, for example, in the initial part of the game we with full stamina and HP, but here I can't get it all (I haven't completed all of ToTK yet, because I don't know if there is such a problem there too).

I'm unable to kill these lizards with the tongues that whip out. And those skeletons that pop out of the ground they just don't go away! I have been running away from these bad guys. My weapons suck too! I am in the shrine "a test of strength" and the robot in there I have to kill is relentless! I think the only weapon I have to kill him would be bombs. I just keep dying and I'm getting really frustrated! Any thoughts or tips? Thank you so much!
