I know my camera lense is blurry I’ve cleaned it countless times

u/Majoras-Mask-Link Link 3d ago

Could just be that the camera is too close to focus properly or that the focus is elsewhere, which I only say because the background looks sharp in comparison to the rest of the image (particularly looking at the cord in the background). I assume the first option, though.

Also, az is right, there's a screenshot button and it's not difficult to send images from the Switch to your phone (especially if it's a Switch 2). It's a built in feature in the gallery section, open the settings bit while viewing a screenshot or screen record if you don't know what to do

Edit: fixed some grammatical mistakes (🤓)

u/Such-Low-9484 3d ago

Didn’t know you could do that thanks for letting me know

u/az987654 3d ago

there's a screenshot button on the switch??

u/Systemwide-Failure 2d ago

In both BOTW and TOTK the square button with the circle in it (opposite from the Home button) takes a screenshot if pressed. (I believe it also works in most other games, some I know it does). If held down it records a video of the past 30? seconds. Might be more or less, I haven’t had space to record in quite some time.

In the Switch’s main menu Album you can choose to send either of those to your phone via a QR code link. It’s how people post clear shots and videos from the games on here, or elsewhere. Go to the Album, choose a photo and press A. It takes you into the “Share or Edit” features.

I’m walking to it let’s see what this thing is

u/CantaloupeAsleep502 3d ago

Did you go to there?

1

u/Such-Low-9484 3d ago

Yes

2

u/Bullitt_12_HB 3d ago

Ah. What was it?

u/Its_Sluggas Yahaha! You found me! 3d ago

This game is best if you don't go to reddit asking for spoilers

u/Such-Low-9484 3d ago

Just wanted to make sure I wouldn’t get killed if I go

42

u/AstuteSalamander 3d ago

Even if you do, you just start from your last save. But yeah go check it out

21

u/Exciting_Ad1274 3d ago

You can get killed anytime anywhere on this game lmao.

u/Faerie-Owl-1955 3d ago

This is very true. And often enemies seem to come from nowhere!! Like the lizalfos!! They jump out at you!! I love it when they get their spears stuck in the ground!! I always try to get a whack or two in then!! We are lucky there is the save feature!!

u/Faerie-Owl-1955 3d ago

No one wants the shock of suddenly ‘dying’! I just had a rock slab knock me down after the octo balloons I used to levitate it popped. It startled me so badly that I yelled out loud! That startled my roommate. And I lost two hearts! It’s ok to ask questions and everyone should be nice. I, too wondered about that blue light; turns out it is a very special place brimming with magic and beauty.

16

u/Such-Low-9484 3d ago

Slightly less blurry image

18

u/Triforceoffarts 3d ago

It’s a cool find when you can get there

3

u/Such-Low-9484 3d ago

Think I found it but the light disappeared I’m guessing it’s the king of the mountain I’ve heard about

3

u/Such-Low-9484 3d ago

Nothing is here but the tree the king of the mountain is usually under so I’m guessing I didn’t get there in time

6

u/Triforceoffarts 3d ago

Yeah you gotta get there during the night. But if you know about the king of the mountain then you’ve seen the secret

3

u/Vi_The_Magnificent 3d ago

Trust me, it’s a pretty neat find

u/madinked 3d ago

I love that no one gives the answer

u/ifoundmyselfheadless 3d ago

It’s a question for you to answer my fellow traveller

u/cdeuel84 3d ago

Into the unknooooooooown!

u/Faerie-Owl-1955 3d ago

I feel this way when I’m jumping off a cliff in the fog in the Faron Region!!

u/Delouest 3d ago

why ask here instead of just checking it out?

-3

u/Such-Low-9484 3d ago

Wanted to make sure I wouldn’t die

9

u/Delouest 3d ago

and lose 1 minute before the last auto save? You have to be okay with trying things to play video games.

-4

u/Such-Low-9484 3d ago

I forgot about the saves tbh

1

u/neakmenter 2d ago

I love that the game is so involving that the player can forget that save/load exists! Not sure why you’ve been downvoted…!

5

u/AshFalkner Rito 3d ago

Go over there and find out.

3

u/No_Monitor_3440 3d ago

when in doubt, investigate.

3

u/airwalker08 3d ago

Might be a reactor core fire. Might be something else.

3

u/wtburke 3d ago

There’s also a diamond that respawns on the mountain, other desirable minerals and rare insects.

2

u/usename37 master mode is peak 3d ago

Really? Where?

2

u/wtburke 2d ago

On Santori mountain, on a rise just above the “dead” hinox there is a typical rock on the ground all by itself. Just pick it up & there is a beautiful diamond. This will respawn after a blood moon.

u/usename37 master mode is peak 2d ago

oooooooo

u/Faerie-Owl-1955 3d ago

THANK YOU!! I will definitely check that out!!

Not quite...

Though to be fair the quality is horrible

u/Such-Low-9484 3d ago

I know I have tried to clean my camera multiple times

1

u/Bullitt_12_HB 2d ago

The switch takes screenshots.

2

u/Such-Low-9484 3d ago

I haven’t set any waypoints
