video game The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom - Available !

Omg my dumb ass I was wondering why Sidons wife wasn’t giving me a quest to get the other zora pieces 

 

I looked it up and saw the each piece of zora armor has its own unique effect and I had gotten the zora chestpeice a while back  I thought you needed the full armor to go up waterfalls but I have had it this whole time so many waterfalls I skipped out on. Omg

 

I-

Zelda has so many cool enemies so the fact there aren’t mire mini bosses is a disappointment but bosses are the main part of soulsborne games so that comparison is a bit rough

anyway i found my first 'Bargainer Statue' right under the 'Goddess Statue' in temple of time a while ago, I decided to check under the statue in the 'spring of courage' and I found another "bargained statue" which means I hopefully got all the locations for the complete "Depths" armor

 

if i upgrade it to level 2 it better be "gloom" proof, if that's the case it's a game-changer

Don't forget the other bargainer statues for the other set

Fusing/connecting is the main theme of this game so if Ultrahand/Fuse doesn’t really work for you then I understand the criticism regarding the game’s identity.

 

I love building stuff though and I really think that’s what sets this game apart from its predecessor. It feels like the devs wanted us to explore an upgraded Hyrule using the vehicles and contraptions we create. If you do it the BOTW way then it’s going to feel samey. For example, I rarely traverse by land because I use towers or flying vehicles then I scan the area for interesting points while in the air. It’s a similar method to Majora’s Mask where I made use of every mask to  uncover secrets and travel through Termina. In Ocarina, I just rode Epona and did the usual.

 

TOTK (and BOTW) doesn’t really force you to choose one way of discovering the map’s new secrets which is why the experience can vary for every player. I’ve had so much fun with this game because I taught myself to use the new tools that the devs added. If there’s a fun way to use contraptions against enemies then I would do that instead of going for melee combat. Although I understand how it could be tedious for those who don’t like building stuff.

 

Also, TOTK shrines > BOTW shrines. I love how you can combine all 4 mechanics in TOTK to solve the puzzles. Ultrahand to Recall to Ascend is such a rewarding method if you don’t want to do the intended way. Fuse can be used if you want to skip through the shrine too. I’ll never forget those annoying motion puzzles in BOTW. The best shrine is obviously Eventide and the worst one is definitely the stasis golf. **** that shrine  And Proving Grounds > Tests of Strength 

 

I have some criticisms with TOTK but I’ll share them after I have finished the game

I learned today that you can farm parts off dragons every 10 mins, and you best believe when I stumbled across the Light Dragon, I stayed on Miss Thing's back for a full 40 mins so I could collect a scale, horn, fang, and claw without having to ever find her again

I tried to beat frost gleeok, gave up after 3rd try and now I find myself not wanting to play anymore.... Like, I didn't even beat the game yet but I feel 0 motivation to do so. Well, it's been fun while it lasted  Still have about 90-100 hours in

[Graves]

I liked my time in TOTK a lot, but now that I've finished it I do find myself a little disappointed... I dunno, objectively they did address a lot of the problems I had with BOTW, I just feel like a lot of the solutions were half-steps in the right direction rather than full ones. And that kinda bothers me given the game had like... 6 years in the oven.

Do you have plenty of "firefruits", a powerful bow (at least 30 power) and "eyeballs"? That's the 3 key items to cheese your way through a frost gleeok.

 

If not, then watch this youtuber and his girlfriend beat a "frost gleeok" with only 7 hearts. It's the first time they encounter a gleeok and their strategy was pretty good.

You should copy it.

Proving Grounds > Test Of Strength > Sky Crystal 

TOTK shrines felt harder @ first, but only cuz I wasn't used to the mechanics. After doing 130 shrines I don't think any were that memorable, or interesting to solve. I feel like BOTW shrines had more variety & highs, but it could just be rosy retrospection. Like name 1 TOTK shrine that comes close to Blue Flame, Wind Guide, Trial Of Power, or any of the DLC shrines.

Thanks Im gonna watch this when im home. I used good bow and eyes my problem was once I got to the last part in air I didn’t know how to navigate so I gave up

[enchanted0]

Yeah I won't even complain about temples because even though they're easy, the way to get there is just EPIC, it was pure adventure, I enjoyed every moment  

But for shrines...ngl I lowkey had meltdown at first because they were so hard, I had to skip like 2-3 shrines but now I have done 100+ of them, overall they're so easy and very straightforward. They just doesn't have IT like it did BOTW. Maybe the team intentionally lowered the level of difficulty? Idk.

I GASPED at the reward for filling out depths map completely. A game hasn't surprised me like that in a long time.

f I had the same thought. The blue flame shrine is imprinted on my brain, but nothing from Tears really sticks. Hoping some DLC will give us more, longer shrines, and a worthy dungeon too...

 

 

And a Master Mode, cus the bosses in this game were kinna too easy...

I’ve already resigned myself that it’s gonna take months to get through this game to the level I want, but I know my progress is gonna nosedive once FF XVI comes out in about a week.

I came here to post this lol. The FFXIV update and updates for gachas have had me struggling to make progress.

 

I don’t mind it though tbh cause I do want to take my time

Hmm, I'm not sure tbh. What I did was just shoot the back so I could pick up the scale immediately (it doesn't fall immediately), then repeated that with the horn. Then I waited until I was near a tower to get the claw; I shot it, dived down and grabbed it, then went right to the tower so I could remount. After 10 mins, I got the fang, and I was all done. (Light Dragon doesn't open her mouth for some reason, but you still get fang if you shoot the lips.)

3 temples down, 1 to go  I have to have my hand held playing these dungeons because I'm just flat out stupid.

I have 125 hours so far, I did 2 dungeons, I have around 250 koroks, 4 memories and still a looot to do... but I gotta admit that I am disappointed with the game. Maybe my expectations were too high after BOTW but it feels like the exact same game copied and pasted to me, on many levels :/

I feel the same. I think the people that call it a masterpiece just wanted more BOTW which is great for them, but personally what made BOTW so exciting was the discovery of it all. I don't feel the same way here because its just the same thing. I have so many memories exploring BOTW and finding the unexpected. I don't think I've had a single moment that's brought out that same feeling of excitement here. I like the new abilities, and the game mostly feels seamless plus the impa cutscene memories were more engaging this time around but im sorta just grasping at straws. It really is just more of the same. Wells, caves and the depths are all disappointing. Even the shrines I find really easy and not that creative. I haven't found a questline that's really intrigued me yet, it's just been cook this, fetch this item. That being said I still have 2 temples to go so maybe that'll spice things up. It's not a bad game, I'm enjoying it but for right now anything that makes it special is just piggybacking off BOTW.

What made Breath Of The Wild special to all of us is that they broke conventions but kept some elements from the The Legend Of Zelda franchise. They kept what made it recognizable and iconic. We all enjoyed discovering this huge world, the towns, the secrets but Tears Of The Kingdom does not renew the experience. The most important aspect of BOTW, the exploration, is the biggest weakness of Tears in my opinion. Many of us already know this Hyrule by heart and it has not changed much. We know where we're going. We know the whole map. We know the towns and the inhabitants. We know what kind of elements and ennemis we're going to find. We know how to interact with them. Nothing really feels brand new but just a continuation of BOTW.

 

I would not go as far as saying everything is disappointing because this game is objectively very good in many aspects but the issue for many players is that it is way too similar to BOTW. You were mentionning the quests in this game and I think that it might be what has improved the most: I found many of them amazing and rewarding. Maybe you haven't found some of the most important quests yet.

 

I'll probably do my third dungeron today or tomorrow. I think I'll head to Gerudo town. I'm not expecting much judging by the other two I have done so we'll see.

The NPCs talk too ******* much in this game, every time I think their dialogue is done they keep talking
