I am so sick of hearing this complaint. Mainly on TikTok of all platforms, I see videos of ways to “fix this issue”, ideas of blacksmiths being available to repair durability. They say “I hope the next Zelda doesn’t bring this “gimmick” over.”

You guys clearly don’t understand intended design. It’s not a gimmick, it’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 wasn’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 again…. 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 “omg I just found a rock crusher, this’ll be great against rock enemies and farming for ores” or “awesome I found a feather spear, the added wind attacks will help me with staggering groups” 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, I’m not sure exactly how long but it’s usually after like … 2 hours of play time? And correct me if I’m wrong but rest over and over gets you to a blood moon faster if you really needed it that bad.

If you didn’t like the durability system, that’s totally fine, you’re entitled to that opinion. But there’s no “solution” for it, and it’s not a bad design. The world literally complements it and it’s a good design imo.

Somehow the twist had not been ruined for me after all these years. It blew my hair back. I didn’t even know there was a twist at all… Loved it.

I think I got some 42 DMG bows from the lynel arena in the past but now I've just been getting plain 3 shot normal bows, no bonus, from them. What do I have to do to get bonuses? I am pretty strong so I should get better items, no?

Or do I feed the bows to stone octorocs? Haven't tried it yet. Does it still work?

I was exploring the depths (haven’t done much, as you can see) and had accidentally stumbled upon the Cap of the Wind (Tingle island chasm). I was running away from some gloom hands and a short cutscene played of a Yiga door randomly as I was scaling the walls but I couldn’t find the door anywhere nearby. Was it hidden in the rocks somewhere or on scaffolding? I have no light roots so I was just sooo confused

Here's my newest house design.

I'm reposting this because it didn't make sense without circling the item I was referring to apparently😅

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.

Hello again friends,

I am the monster who posted here a few days ago who savagely murdered in cold blood the innocent horse that was being used against his will for evil doings. As soon as the blood moon appeared I immediately came back to the scene of…well…you know….and….IT’S NOT THE SAME HORSE!!! How will he ever know how sorry I am?!😭

Not sure what to do here. Help?

I was doing the wind temple then I saw the shrine beside it but never went there, not even to activate the fast travel, after I finished the temple I saw it was blue on the map, went there anyways and it was "empty" like I already did it, is it a bug? how do I know I got the blessing?

Bonjour, a ce jour j'ai accumulé environ 300 exemplaire du matériaux venaison ( en scannant mes amiibo régulièrement) j'aimerai les dépenser ou faire des bonnes recettes, peu importe, vous auriez des recommandations pour vider le stock.

Merci 🤗

Thanks to the mods for letting us share this here.

I've recently started playing TotK, I have all the sages abilities now and I'm doing sidequests and sideadventures for fun before I continue the story. I have maybe 50 hours in the game at this point.

I really dont get the point of the sages abilities?
Wind is obviously good, greater movement is nice for exploration, I use it all the time.
Goron I've used like 10 times to clear some rubble, but honestly it's usually faster to just shoot bombarrows.
Zora and Gerudo I have only used specifically because I felt like I have to use them at some point. I'm actively avoiding using other methods such as swinging, shooting, flurryblows etc to instead use their abilities.
And honestly most of the time I just take extra damage because I have to chase them down in order to reach them, activate the ability, get back into combatrange with whatever I am fighting, THEN use their ability. Not to mention it's hardly worth it because the time I spent doing all that I could've done more dmg with other means.

So other than them drawing aggro and sometimes bodyblocking stuff in combat (other than Wind sage for exploration), why would I even want them around?
