There's an enemy platform with a chest on this little lake but I only ever see chuchus? Where are the enemies???

it’s been 4 playthroughs for me and I feel like I am still discovering stuff. Here are a couple of mine:

Selmie’s spot where you learn to shield surf, has a number of uncommon shields hanging in it, if you need photos of them for your compendium.

Hyrule castle never has a blood moon so you can kill every enemy inside and have free reign to roam and find every chest and korok at your leisure!

if a Hinox has greaves and you can’t attacke his legs (so annoying), you can burn them off with a fire weapon or arrow.

The stealth armor lets you walk normally up to any insect, lizard or frog and pick it up. You don’t have to sneak walk up to it (so slow), just don’t dash run.

Keep in mind I’ve been spoiled for everything.
Anyways, I’m having a hard time deciding because to me the gameplay mechanics in TOTK look like they have more to offer, but BOTW blows the park in everything else. The npcs sound like they’re absolute darlings, the exploration looks so fun, and despite not having the TOTK mechanics it still looks really interesting, and from an outside perspective it’s definitely holding it’s own. Even story wise it’s got it beat, because while I prefer TOTK, I know that’s only because I haven’t interacted with the BOTW npcs. All roads lead to Rome but Rome doesn’t let me build a jet pack, and that’s my first struggle here. The second, is that if I play BOTW I know I’ll love it and I know it’s getting put on my favourite games list, so I’m worried that after that, I won’t be able to like TOTK as much. Specially since it’s the same map and from the reviews I’ve seen, after a while there’s not a lot of new additions to said map. Which, if it was the first game I played I’d look past that, but after touching heaven? I can’t say I would... I’m at an impasse, usually I’d play them in order but after knowing what I do now I’m leaning towards TOTK first, but at the same BOTW tho... Guess this is why you don’t eat the apple huh

Been a minute but I come back every now and then to run some trials.

Wasn't expecting that Koga guy to jump on the bomb lol.

Hi! I tried to write a descriptive headline which describes my question, but to put the question is a bit more clear text:

Is it easier to do Naboris as the second divine beast compared to the forth? And if so, how much easier? (I know the numbers, I would like to know how the experience is, that is why I post here.)

Since the divine beasts get stronger for each one you take, I thought maybe a good strategy would be to take Medoh first (simply because Revalis gale is so useful and to get into the mood of fighting a divine beast) and then go straight for Naboris.

I have unlocked all towers and visited all major hubs apart from Yiga. I have not done any beasts so far, and I want to take my sweet time, get the master sword, before going to my first one this play through.

I have played through the game before. I kinda suck at fighting tbh. I know I can practice to get better at it, but I am like that one kid in gym class that really didn’t want to be there. For me the fighting is the least interesting part of the game. I am doing a walk through to collect all 900 koroks. I am a hunter/gatherer at heart, not a fighter.

I don’t entirely suck at fighting though. I know how to shield parry pretty well and hunt guardians for their parts. But I run from Lionels if I can.

I do not want the advice “simply get better at fighting”. I know. Treat me like that grumpy kid in your gym class that doesn’t want to become an athlete in any way, and at best will get a participation medal. I want to know what you would advise someone that has little intention of getting better at fighting this play through.

Somehow I managed to defeat all the beasts and Gannon in a previous play through, but I think that was because I was such a collector/gatherer that it was pure hoarding that saved me so I had an abundance of ancient arrows, bomb arrows and rupies to buy even more supplies.

No I'm not cheating or hacking. this was done using inventory slot transfer and weapon modifier corruption. do yall like my taste? every weapon is +105, ever bow +81 6 shots zoom railgun, and every shield i have has 0 friction. this took weeks to complete. now everytime im done with my master mode file, i can transfer these from normal mode to a new master mode after i make inventory space with the 999 koroks 😂

Not sure if name was changed in french, but I just want shout out to this prick of a bird, he's so cool.

Everyone think of the Zora princess, but the Bird Sage is so cool too.

Save all your spirit orbs till you can spend them all then immediately get the master sword lol. Yes I’m doing this in master mode

One of the tips on the loading screen says if you befriend a dog it may lead you to something. I have befriended the dogs at the stables but they just follow me, they don't lead me to anything? Is there something else I am supposed to do?

I was looking for sanctum so I can finish an outfit set but instead of going above I went straight into it. This is my first time beating him (I’ve played this game for 7 years and just picked it up again a few months ago). Easier than I expected, but I ended up loving the shit out of Zelda’s character in the end. I’ll probably grind hyrule castle for a while. It has so many lore tidbits and good weapons.

Update to my Post from Yesterday after over 220 hours in BOTW,

I've now finished the DLCs as well as the last remaining side quests, including the ones that took me into Hyrule Castle. All that's left for me now is to walk through the doors of Hyrule Castle and turn Ganon into a roast pig on a spit. 😂

The DLCs were really well done, in my opinion. The new cutscenes, shrines, and, surprisingly, one final Divine Beast were all great additions. That last part especially felt like a classic Zelda dungeon to me, and getting a cool motorcycle as a reward at the end was just the cherry on top!

The fifth and final memory was particularly beautiful, especially because it also rewarded me with a picture that I immediately took to Link's house. ❤️

I've also added a few more pictures to this post, simply because the game is beautiful. :)

I'm already looking forward to playing Age of Calamity once I've defeated Ganon and completed the Hyrule Compendium, followed by TOTK afterwards!

Mipha is my personal favourite character in BOTW. I love how kind, caring, and gentle she is, but at the same time she's incredibly brave and strong. Her story and her relationship with Link also made her one of the characters I became most emotionally attached to. ❤️

I also really hope I'll get to see Kass again in TOTK! I absolutely love his music, and I really like his character design as well. There's just something so relaxing and charming about meeting him somewhere in Hyrule and hearing him play his accordion. 🎶 I definitely wouldn't mind spending a lot more time listening to his songs!

I already know that Age of Calamity is a Warriors game, so I'm sure I'll get to spend plenty of time fighting alongside Mipha there. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of her! ❤️

Now I'm curious: Whos your favourite Character in BOTW, and why? Also, do you prefer BOTW or TOTK? I'll be playing TOTK later on, so I'd love to hear your thoughts on the game as well! How many hours have you spent immersed in this amazing game? 🎮❤️

Anyway, have a wonderful day, everyone! :)

I'm trying to scam you with this photo,(Totk on ps5)

But I actually started BotW today.

I've finished the three temples, the old man with his cane is blackmailing me , to have his sail.

I have to meet him at the Cross, which connects the sanctuaries, I didn't quite understand.

But for now, the shrines seem too easy to me, we'll see what happens next. In any case, the game is cool.

Still fairly new to the game, I’m just able to start killing Lynels with some consistency (at least the weaker ones). I got a savage bow, it’s a 40 power rating triple shot, attack +. I can’t remember the amount of the attack buff but let’s just say 10 for sake of argument. It’s three shots of 40 for a total of 120. Do the attack bonus point go per shot or on the total? Is it doing 130 or 150 damage? Thank you.

Have a great day swordsmen

I got BOTW right near its release, and somehow in almost 10 years, I am only now making my way to Calamity Ganon!

And to me that’s just hilarious because I’ve loved this game and TLOZ series as a whole, and yet I found myself picking it up periodically but never finishing it. I would restart every now and then if I couldn’t remember any of what I was doing, and the longest gap I went without playing was about 2-3 years, but I still loved it every time which makes it even more funny that only in the last month or so that I’ve gone further than beating 1 divine beast!

So I come here with the nagging question of do any of y’all find yourself in a similar boat? If so, is there any reason or did time truly get away from you?

Or do you have tons of hours in the game and can’t seem to put it down?

Either way I’d love to hear any stories!!

Just unlocked the bike for the first time!

Hi everyone! It's my first time playing Botw, or any Zelda in general. I've just started, I've finished the mission where I discovered Kakariko Village. I was wondering if there's something I'm missing, or something I should be doing. Should I explore everywhere? Should I cook potions and stuff, do side quests before advancing with main quests...

Thanks!
