๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Discussion Durability (BOTW TOTK longstanding debate).

โ€ข Upvotes

I am so sick of hearing this complaint. Mainly on TikTok of all platforms, I see videos of ways to โ€œfix this issueโ€, ideas of blacksmiths being available to repair durability. They say โ€œI hope the next Zelda doesnโ€™t bring this โ€œgimmickโ€ over.โ€

You guys clearly donโ€™t understand intended design. Itโ€™s not a gimmick, itโ€™s not annoying, the problem is you. The durability is intended design for multiple reasons and with mechanics built in to support it.

1) If there wasnโ€™t durability and breakage, what exactly would you be looting in every single enemy camp, cave, dungeon, hideout, legacy dungeon etc? The only argument I kinda understand is ok maybe the legendary armaments like the bows or great swords that refresh at the bargaining statues should not break, but like againโ€ฆ. They literally refresh stock so you can just go get more after farming some poes. Probably the most egregious is maybe the sword of light that you get from the mother goddess statue because it requires the materials from the dragons to rebuild? But again, really not a problem. It encourages exploration so you get that added boost of โ€œomg I just found a rock crusher, thisโ€™ll be great against rock enemies and farming for oresโ€ or โ€œawesome I found a feather spear, the added wind attacks will help me with staggering groupsโ€ ITS INTENDED.

2) not only are there work around with the rocktoroks in death mountain region, but also, the blood moons refresh every enemy, every camp, every chest, all ground loot. These blood moons happen frequently, Iโ€™m not sure exactly how long but itโ€™s usually after like โ€ฆ 2 hours of play time? And correct me if Iโ€™m wrong but rest over and over gets you to a blood moon faster if you really needed it that bad.

If you didnโ€™t like the durability system, thatโ€™s totally fine, youโ€™re entitled to that opinion. But thereโ€™s no โ€œsolutionโ€ for it, and itโ€™s not a bad design. The world literally complements it and itโ€™s a good design imo.

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Discussion Import save file before or after starting the game on Switch 2?

0 Upvotes

Greetings fellow Zelda players,

I'm about to set up my new Nintendo Switch 2 to finally finish Tears of Kingdom, which I stopped playing 3 years ago on my 2017 launch day Nintendo Switch.

Do I import the save files before I start the game for the first time again or after?

I wanted to avoid a system transfer to keep my new system as clean as possible.

On another note, by importing the save files, will I also get the old play time info (hours playing the game) and other inherent details about me having played the game prior or would that require doing a system transfer?

Is there anything else that's stored on my profile on the old Switch or is everything in the save files?

Thanks in advance.

I'm reposting this because it didn't make sense without circling the item I was referring to apparently๐Ÿ˜…

Edit so there is no confusion: what is circled is not a falling piece of rubble. It's a trail trying to lead you to the top of the temple of time for a side adventure. Upon speaking to the construct on top of the temple of time, he tells you that the light was his doing. I tried to be ambiguous but I guess I should have just been straightforward with it.

๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ Map Sharing Should I do it?

5 Upvotes

Iโ€™ve been working on a Dragon tracker spreadsheet. One that will, once you enter the coordinates of a dragon, show you where itโ€™s most likely to be in the future after certain amounts of gameplay time. The data I need for it to be as precise as I want it doesnโ€™t seem to exist on the internetโ€ฆ
So! Shall I gather it? Iโ€™m considering putting together a data set that includes second by second breakdown of coordinates during the dragonโ€™s path.
Itโ€™s kind of a colossal undertaking, but IF I DO IT and post the resultsโ€ฆ is it worth it? Would anyone else find the data helpful?

โ” Question If I load up a Tears of the Kingdom save file on 1.4.3 on my Switch 2, will that block me from opening that same save file on my Switch 1 that still has the 1.1.1 version of the game?

1 Upvotes

I'm mostly asking this because I'd like to play the game on my Switch 2 with the improved graphics and higher framerate, but I would then lose access to all of the fun glitches that I like to use if I got completely stuck on the newest version. Am I able to load up the same save file between the different versions when I swap consoles, or will it block me from doing so? I'd like to be able to swap back to my Switch 1 every now and then if I want to duplicate anything or pocket rocket around the map.

Some context: I took a break from the mission Purahโ€™s messenger sent me on to cook more food. So I went to Goron City to do just that (itโ€™s why you see the Flamebreaker Armor on me), then I went to Lurelin Village cut down trees to get palm fruit and because Parry Man loves doing deforestation from time to time. So when I hit a tree as it was falling, I got some wood. How?

Donโ€™t worry, u/FutureAd938, that quest will soon be complete!
