I'm at Hyrule castle...I feel so unprepared 

wish me luck 

"crisis at hyrule castle"? I've also just done it. 

I wish I hadn't already explored the castle from A to Z a month ago because it felt repetitive. I only have myself to blame

 

and now I'm onto the "ring ruins" quest and I feel like it's goin to lead me right to the "dragonhead islands" that I already explored when it was pitch black weeks ago 

I do love how they repurposed the mysterious Faron ruins from BoTw. 

[TeamThiem]

Just did "Crisis at Hyrule Castle" and "Ring Ruins" yesterday.  Worked my way into the depths and noticed I had been there before.  Only this time, I actually get to complete the limb rooms.

 

Time for that Spirit Temple.

This game made me like Zelda (the character) more than the previous one did...

 

I think I just don't love her voice but she means well

 

it's just the dramatic "Link...." for me

I did the same thing thinking the gloom would be healed before the final fight. I was struggling with 6 hearts.

Interesting, we knew the Underground was a reflection of the Land, but 7:04 basically confirms the base of the Underground was auto generated, & the devs just placed things to decorate the area. With the sky being barren, the underground being auto generated, & the land being reused, why did TOTK take over 6 years

 

 

TLDW: Rito's perch is reflected underground, but the devs put a mine above it to cover the random deep hole.

It kind of made the fight more thrilling honestly! I didn't mess with gloom elixirs or anything the whole game (because if you really needed to you could just teleport out of the depths) but I was down to 3 hearts right before

fighting ganon

[Magickarp]

I'm surprised y'all could do the final boss with so little hearts asdfghjkl i was STRUGGLING with like 27❤️, & probs 50❤️ with how many times i restored my health

my skyward sword Demise flashbacks pulled me through

[Eóghan]

yeah "demise" was a *****, on my second playthrough of skyward sword I died even more times than the first. I don't think a zelda boss ever felt more like a FromSoft boss than this one

 

i'm only talking 3d zeldas of course, 2d zeldas are a league of their own

huh maybe the game-breaking physics/abilities that you didn't connect with?

I mean I'm listening to tons of popular video game podcast that reviewed the game, and a few of them always invite people from the video game industry to the table (game dev and designer from different studios) to provide some expertise and I was shocked how all of them were just in awe of this game and didn't understand why this game wasn't just a broken mess riddled with bugs and was instead just smooth sailing. i remember this one game dev in particular who used to work on "assassin's creed" games that went on a 20 minutes tirade about how ascend was just insanity and nightmare-inducing from a workload point.

 

so yeah it's not far-fetched to see where the 6 years went, especially when we know that the game was actually finished a year ago and they were just sitting on it with 1 year of just polishing the physics.

 

I constantly see people complaining about being overwhelmed by the amount of content in this game, can you imagine if the Zelda team actually focused during 6 years on making content instead of testing/polishing the gameplay ... now I don't know if that's what I really want.

nnn mess I did the same thing I was noT prepared for that fight at all, I didn’t bring any gloom healing meals and accidentally triggered the cut scene to start the final fight when I was trying to fuse some weapons  I finished the boss fight with half a heart left I was stressed

I like when final bosses are like this though. I felt so accomplished way back when I beat skyward sword, and the 1 on 1 with Ganon was giving that for me

 

Spoiler

the adrenaline rush when I was in the sky after and realized I could restore my hearts before taking him down in dragon form...period

 

 

 

[arceus]

This game is just way toooo big for me. I have a family to take care off, I barely got time  but I'm so glad I finally finished the main story. I would come back in a year and restart the game to finish it 100% (minus the Korok Seeds ofc).

 

 

I took hundreds of screenshot during the final fight sequence.  It looks so damn beautiful. Can't believe the Switch can achieve that look and atmosphere.

 

 

Playable Zelda when? 

[tiejc]

Just beat Ganon and saved that f*g h*g Zelda in style wearing the champion's leather, fierce deity boots and diamond circlet each upgraded to the max (total 80 armor) and it was a piece of cake. I really enjoyed the game.

An incredible story review of TOTK

 

 

 

I love that in the comments they said for the finalé TOTK should've

Spoiler

Kept Rauru's spirit dead, but have Sonia's spirit come out from the Secret Stone we just destroyed on Dranon, & use ultra rewind on Zeldragon herself. 

 

(The sages secret stones contain their spirit & can speak to their relatives as seen in-game)

 

[TeamThiem]

Just finished the final boss on my first try (with 1 heart left after phase 3)

 

There are still so many things I did not complete and maybe I will tackle them in the future.  Now it is time to move on to Final Fantasy 16!

[Rence]

Smash hit 
 

 

[Kern]

I will never finish this game because I'm so scared of the final boss

[Eóghan]

it's funny how so many in here finished the game around the same time 1 month and a half later. anyway i also finished it yesterday but I was too drained emotionally to post anything 

 

that ganon fight is hands down the best in the entire franchise. I don't know how they did it but they did. 

 

 

 

now that I got the "star" in my save file, I can finally see the percentage and I was shook by how much I missed when it comes to quests and here I thought I had pretty much everything done ...

 

I did 97 out of 139 "side quests"

38 out of 60 "side adventures"

and apparently I'm missing 1 "shrine quests", how is that even possible since I've got the 152 shrines?

 

map percentage is 70.16%. not bad considering that **** is even harder to complete than the koroks.
