The blight I fought was a bigger push over than any other Zelda boss I've played in years.

Compared to Skyward Sword I could see that maybe as Ghirahim was a extremely cool first boss fight, but otherwise Zelda bosses have always been pushovers. And

is the most struggle I had with a Zelda boss since the 2D Zeldas easily.

 

[Lights and Waves]

...followed by you bothering with this one.

Your statement that it is "unplayable" was stupid. You now realize it, and are trying to pass if off as something else.

No, it's not and I'm not. Let it go.

 

[EatinOlives]

This VO is something else. I don't know why everyone has this incredibly fake British-sounding accent, and the VA for Zelda sounds incredibly bored just reading her lines.

The hardest part about that boss was that there was no kind of clue or logic as to what you were supposed to do in the second phase of the fight. Beyond that, idk what to say dude. Each of the four bosses are pretty much arrows and sword.

 

[jviggy43]

Note to self....next playthrough gannon comes first lol.

Spoiler

And that second form was a joke and a bad way to end what was otherwise an incredible end game area. Shame really

 

[DeathPeak]

Loved the boss fight in Vah Ruta! Looking forward to going up against the others.

I have a Welsh/British friend who tells me that even she can't figure out what in the hell accent that's supposed to be.

I love the game, but the VO is already shaky enough without an inscrutably brain-damaged accent piled on top of it.

Yeah and that's good. Not sure what else is there to say. You can beat all the bosses by sword, dodging and using all of your runes instead of obviously using your one dungeon item you got and 3 shot kill him.

Ghirahim was also one of the coolest Zelda bosses since forever for that very reason.

good thing im use to bad anime voice acting, so i've heard worse. Good thing not alot of thedialogue is voiced so not a big concern in the end imo

Are you talking about the spoilered boss, or the Skyward one? I don't think it's really true for the former. They use a visual hint that is very common throughout the game.

Urbosa flat out tells you what to do if you stay stuck for too long like l did. l'm not sure why this boss is considered so hard, l thought he was even easier than the Rito dungeon one.

Posting to subscribe. I'm in the Gerudo Highlands now. Kinda trying to complete the Eighth Heroine sidequest while exploring.

Spoiler

I found a huge fallen sword statue, so I must be getting close...

 

[norm9]

Got three weapons in the 30s, but the rest at 13 and under. Can't beat one of the bosses once I run through the higher leveled weapons. And now I can't find any weapons anywhere.

 

[JonnyKong]

I have 17 hearts, 6 heart elixirs and 5 fairies, will that be sufficient to take on Hyrule Castle and Ganon?

So how do I get

I've completed...85 Shrines so far. I'm not even close to finding the others, either. I have no idea what to do for the

God fucking damnit, I found something really cool on Satori Mountain

The Lord of the Mountain, scene looked straight out of Princess Mononoke

but I thought I messed it up so reloaded my save and now it won't show up anymore.

 

[Jaraghan]

Finally found the legendary

Master Sword

! Now I am finally ready to kick some ass. Still got two more dungeons left and a ridiculous amount of Korok seeds. I caved and bought the official guide because I'd like to eventually collect all of them lol

 

[Chezzymann]

wait, master sword has a 10 minute cooldown after like 20 hits? Thats kinda bullshit, mise as well just keep using knights claymores which are just about as powerful and i can usually find one in less time than that.

Absolutely. I went in with 13 hearts, no elixers, and no fairies. The castle will be the hardest part if you plan om exploring imo. Those enemies hit hard.

 

[CharminUltra]

Horny Hyrule.

I've got to run a half marathon this weekend so I'm out of town for a few days and won't be able to play this game, but it's so damn addictive. Maybe I should have invested in a Switch after all.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

My younger brother bought a Switch and BotW.

He brought it down. I played a bit. It was cool.

He's been playing it obsessively for a week. He's pretty far.

It was a pretty awesome little demo.

 

[dickroach]

I just got the 12th memory, in the castle, about to go fight Ganon... also I'm half asleep so I'll probably die a few times and give up but let's gooo

Anyone try playing with joy cons detached from grip, having one in each hand?

Just tried it with Zelda and I think it's doable to a degree, but prefer it in grip mode.

Yeah, those fights are probably the only major disappointment for me so far.

There's nothing clever or interesting about them. At least from the two I've fought so far.

It doesn't run out of durability when its glowing, but it only glows when in the vicinity of specific enemies. It also gets double damage in those cases.

It's the guardian killer

You're meant to sneak by him. Killing him will instantly give you the arrows you need though.

The cutscene that plays implies the game wants you to sneak around him. You can fight him if you want but Lynels are arguably the hardest enemy in the game.

Put you controller on a flat surface before making any big moves. Stops it going on all over the place
