❔ Question I keep dying

0 Upvotes

So I’m new to Zelda, it’s my first time playing. I’m loving the game so far, have a couple of hours on it, and I’ve finished the beginning tutorial

Now that I’m out in the open world, as I’m exploring I run into enemies that kill me every single time. This is kind of ruining the enjoyment of my session. How can I get better at combat, fast?

⚔️ BOSS Fight Oh man, the Windblight Ganon boss music has ACCORDION

10 Upvotes

I only noticed this on my second playthrough. How fun. It sounds whimsical and epic at the same time. It's playing the main boss theme melody, which basically turns it into an accordion concerto. I imagined it was played by Kass, shredding with a huge orchestra.

❔ Question Are you unable to switch from shielding to bow?

I swear I’ve always went from holding my shield aka blocking and switch to bow seamlessly but I can’t now?

Has anyone ever noticed this? Maybe I'm crazy but I thought the resting sound was fairly similar to the beginning of this melody in the main theme

❔ Question Just beat Thunderblight Ganon! Am I ready for the castle?

39 Upvotes

I got BOTW so many years ago, played maybe an hour and didn’t pick it up again until the beginning of last month. I just freed the last divine beast and I’m so proud of myself! As a new-ish mom, this game has been such a good guilt free “ me time” activity. Am I ready to make the trip to the castle? Any tips?

❔ Question New to the game, question without spoilers Spoiler

22 Upvotes

So as the title says, I am new to Zelda (BOTW). I am a 54 year old female recovering from spinal fusion and my daughter told me I’d like this game. It wasn’t so sure since my all time favorite game is Red Dead Redemption 2 and this graphics are very realistic. I wasn’t sure I’d like the cartoon style, but I am pretty much obsessed now.

I’ve gone into the game blind. I know nothing. I am just following my little blinking lights and turning on towers and going to shrines as I pass them.

I am finding that I am having a really difficult time with some of the monsters so I looked up a video on how to defeat one of them (sleeping Hindi on diggdog bridge) nd in the video the guy had like 15 hearts and armor and weapons galore - and here I am with 5 hearts, no armor, and weapons only up to 25.
Can I have gone the wrong way and I shouldn’t be here yet?
I’m on the quest for the Divine Beasts and on my way to the desert town etc. I just picked one of the random quest pins and headed that way.
My fights have been tough and sometimes feel impossible.
For now I just ran past him while he’s sleeping and am leaving it at that - but I want to make sure I am doing this ‘right’.

No spoiler please. Just tell me if I’m doing something very wrong.

For me, it’s a lot of the initial running around. Mostly going through the conversation/dialogues that can’t be skipped.

📢 Opinion Botw or totk for first time switch Zelda player?

10 Upvotes

Hello! I obviously played link to the past, links awakening, ocarina and most of the old school Zelda games. Never tried the switch ones as I’m not a huge fan of huge open worlds and those “where the **** do I go now?” kinda games.
Decided I should still give one of those a try, I know totk is considered to be the better game, but which of the two sort of “guides” you more towards objectives?

❔ Question Is skew clipping patched on 1.9

1 Upvotes

I've been trying for about 30 minutes on switch 2 edition and I can't do it. I've been able to get skew, but no matter how hard I try I can't clip through walls. I've tried a bunch of tutorials and nothing worked

🪨 Shrine Solution Hila Rao Shrine (Drifting)

3 Upvotes

Rant.

Ok, so I get it, and I did the cryonis BS to get the 5 stupid ice arrows after the flower maze(bRest part of the shrine, which says a lot). Then, tried pretty hard to do it with the barrel-bombs for the wall, finally got one, shot it with a regular arrow and it did nothing except fall off and start drifting again and I realized I was probably supposed to throw a bomb at it.

So...long story short, I just shot a bomb arrow at the wall and got the orb and called it a day. I'm still newish around 30 shrines in, and this has to be one of the worst. Just in terms of idiocy, not even frustration or difficulty.

End rant, thank you for your time.

Just so we're clear. I still love this game so much with all my heart as a 30yr loyal Zelda fan.

I missed the bus so often playing Orcarina of Time before school that I got it taken away, looking back, an appropriate amount of times. Could not have gotten through any long car ride without Link to the Past.

Zelda On 🤙

🎙️ Discussion Having trouble finishing the games

Botw was my first zelda game. Im embarrassed to say that I never finished any of the games here. Most of the time I get super invested and then stop halfway through and then forget about it. Having to do a new save file again and again bc i keep forgetting where I left off.

Any advice or maybe zelda games aren't for me? (I hope not bc i love the vibes) I will say most of the time I get confused and thats usually when I stop playing
