Lynel question:

Spoiler

Does it get explained anywhere why they disappear with a hit from an ancient arrow?

You don't have to tell me why if you know, but I wouldn't mind knowing where I can get the info.

Thats every enemy

 

[DeathPeak]

Thats every enemy

But I mean from a lore perspective, does is get explained anywhere?

 

[MindCollizion]

They're one of my least favorite things about the game. The concept is great, telling the story by making the player find the places in photographs and experience flashbacks to fill in Link's memory. Just a great idea that fits the game perfectly. But all of the flashbacks I've found so far are just Zelda whining with bad voice acting and sometimes awkward moments because of Link's muteness, so...

Finish the game. Link's "muteness" as you call it is very much given reason/explained quite adequately. I love those flashback scenes after seeing them all.

I don't think it's anything more than

the fact that ancient arrows are destructive as shit and disintegrate things.

Boy are you in for a shock.

 

[maxmars]

Yes. The memories you unlocked (including the other champions' scenes) are available at the Quest menu.

Thank you sir! I still don't understand why I can't replay them by clicking on it, but at least it's something.

I'm somehow 80+ hrs in and only found the first one lol. But I'm suprisingly doing okay against black level enemies and even guardians so IDK if I need to find them right now. Still only 2 dungeons in, too.

 

[klier]

That would have been pretty cool.

Spoiler

I thought ancient arrows kill anything, except guardians, in one hit?

Spoiler

They also kill guardians with one hit in the eye

Boy are you in for a shock.

Spoiler

The last one is 10,000 rupees.

And when I got to that last one, I had over 50k in my wallet

Finding 2 is the minimum you need to start unlocking set bonuses and those bonuses are really worth it. There are NPCs that direct you to at least 2 others. I can't remember if an NPC directs you to the other one or if it was just next to a side mission I was doing.

Weird the only fountain i've from npc so far was in Kakariko about the first one. Set bonus would be nice haha. I guess I'll just explore some ponds. I heard there is one in

Spoiler

Akala region

so I'll start there.

 

[klier]

I don't get it, what's wrong with using arrows?

You're wasting arrows.

I have a 1000+ arrows. Not important.

I found a great way to farm arrows, as there is this place with like 5 or 6 Bokoblins on horseback with bows. Just run around and avoid being hit, while collecting all the arrows they shoot. Took me no more than 20 minutes.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

The various amiibo "hero" clothing sets should let you recolor them. Missed opportunity. I would have collected duplicates of OoT Link for classic Zora and Goron tunics.

Also, I wish you could get more than 3 weapon mounts. I want to keep one of each amiibo weapon.

Isn't arrow farming disabled after 5 arrows shot (=no more to collect after that)? Is it different for bokoblins on horses?

I already found him twice randomly, now I have above 20 seeds which I want to redeem but can't find him in the first spot he was in. it's the only place I can remember seeing him honestly

Finally winding down on BotW... just trying to finish up a few more things. One of those things was fashion. Behold, my Link to the Past blue tunic cosplay (possible equipment spoilers):

With this, I'm ready to put down Ganon for the last time. It's been a blast.

 

[Milly Osworth]

I'm replaying it from the start and the buildup to the whole Zelda and Ganon thing is really well done. But knowing the ending now, the ending is so disappointing :/

Spoiler

They go on and on about Zelda fighting Ganon for 100 years and then she isn't even there and the whole credits cinematic barely mentions anything about it...

You know you've played a game a lot when you need to recharge your (Wii U) Pro Controller.


I don't even want to look at the logs.

Hah. I recently got a Wii U Pro controller. I charged it before starting BOTW. I am about 35/40 hours in with no recharge yet. Just waiting.

 

[weekev]

I'm sure this has been answered numerous times already in the 2 OTs but is there a way to get a wolf companion without an Amiibo? Do I just feed one some steak?

 

[derFeef]

I started the game with minimal hud option and videos with the full hud look really werid to me now. Like what is all that information, haha.

Head north to the lost woods, in the same area you found him the second time.

There's a shrine right next to him so you can teleport back whenever

ok, will consider another Amiibo to the collection, it is a pretty cool Amiibo I guess, don't really need it for the game though so probably a waste of money.

Turns out Wolf Link is super useful for resource hunting. Only found out today that he'll track down whatever your Sheikah Slate senses, making it a easier to find things.

Don't sell them! There's another lab...

You can use them to buy very powerful weapons and the best full armor set in the game.

Robbie and the Akkala Lab can burn in hell. Robbie, his wife, and his wannabe wife all made a cool first impression with me. Then Robbie dropped a quest. Struggled to do the quest but I managed to barely complete it.

Then Robbie has the balls to charge 2,000 Rupees for EACH piece of a cool looking costume?! Go to hell! Like really?! Wow!

I know I keep moaning about how expensive stuff costs but I just gotta vent about that. I sprinted outta that damm lab so fast.

Honestly it's really easy to scrounge up a few thousand rupees, even without mini-game farming.

Yes, rupees should never a problem. There's always things to sell. But that suit and its upgrades require a lot of killed guardians.

I hate that armor, especially the helmet, but you can't deny its effectiveness. I will say that 2000 rupees might seem like a lot right now, but she it's absolute chump change after not too long. I have 30,000 rupees right now just from selling all my monster parts.

I really only wear the leggings because they're the best there is.





On an unrelated note: very very very disappointed you can't upgrade the

The progression when you go from being terrified of the Guardians to just hunting them for parts...glorious.

I ran around Hyrule Castle field yesterday just slaughtering them.

an armor set that requires ancient parts to upgrade/buy. You can also exchange for weapons.

It's such a satisfying sense of progression! It reminds me of how the time cycle in Majora's Mask is initially daunting, then over time you're able to deal with it more effectively to the point it becomes trivial in the late game.

Very similar but with MM it still can create intense moments late game. For example when you are doing the graveyard quest where you enter a new grave every night, and you end up fighting a Big Poe while the timer is going toward midnight.

Oh aye certainly, in a sense it's similar to how having several guardian reticules on you in BotW is still daunting. The threat is always there, it's just lessened over time with experience and better tools to deal with it. I

What order did you complete the dungeons in?

Myself and two other friends all went

Spoiler

Zora, Gerudo, Rito, Goron

and I'm wondering if this is a weird coincidence or if the game is designed in such a way that it nudges but doesn't force you to do them in that order.

i got Great flameblade, barbarian helm and diamond circlet, anything else i have missed ??

Holy hell the white lynel dropped a single handled sword rated 100 with Attack Up +42
