It’s absolutely insane how vast the Depths are.
I spent like 8-10 hours down there and barely knocked a dent in it. Was nice to amass a stockpile of bomb flowers though. |

I haven't even bothered with the depths at all yet
 After finishing the Wind Temple, which was super fun btw, I've just been practicing combat on a Lynel repeatedly. Trying to perfect parrying. |

I'll eventually play it, but after the mega disappointment BOTW was I'm not hoping for much. I know I'm in the vast minority of people who didn't love BOTW, but as much as I went in super excited for a new Zelda game I found almost nothing about it enjoyable. I really wish I "got it" and could enjoy it, but I just can't.

FYI after you do the first of the 4 ‘weird events’ or whatever quest from Purah, the Royal escape tunnel in the bunker opens. You can get into the castle basement and get the Royal guard armor without huge difficulty.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah, that turned me off immediately. Weapons as a limited resource is mind boggling stupid in an RPG/Adventure game. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Is the weapon degradation still a mechanic? One of things I really hate about BotW. Edit: Yep, still a thing, oh well Fuse stuff to the weapons, you increase durability and get some crazy effects. Just don’t do a bomb flower unless you want to be a suicide bomber.  Some of the previous ‘fixable’ weapons are back, I’m just not sure what yet as I’m barely into the campaign. |

Bomb flower on a shield is fun…rocket on a shield to get into the air easy I like running a ruby on my shield..enemies catch fire when they hit it and it keeps you warm in the cold |

Haven't needed any guides for the past 20 shrines or so. I guess once you get used to the new mechanics they're not bad. Pretty sure I'm completing many of them not in the intended way though lol.

We don’t tell each other how to do it, just watch how the other completes it. It’s wild. There’s no “right” way. Possibilities is this game are endless. |

I’m gonna say it.
The fire temple was the most dogshit experience I’ve ever had in a Zelda game. Not only did the temple itself feel incomplete, but the inability of the switch to handle the graphics made it insufferable. Just terrible. Also Yunobo is annoying as shit. |

Finally made it to Hyrule. I think I spent way too much time in the sky place and I'm almost positive I didn't explore everything up there. I completely skipped most of the snowy section because it was cold. I'm going to have to go back there if I can.

Quote HistoryQuoted: My wife is playing BotW. Does EVERY weapon degrade? Even things like the Master Sword? Yes, but the master sword repairs itself in a few minutes. The weapon damage never bothered me in these games. There are weapons everywhere and every enemy drops at least one. As you get further along, weapons are plenty strong enough and last a while. To me, it logically makes sense that rusty old weapons and tree branches wear out faster than higher end weapons so I can see why the weapon damage was included in the game. As for TotK, so far it lives up to the hype and has been a great game. BotW is probably my favorite game of all time and this one is on par with it. |

Even in BoW I never had a problem keeping weapons. I was always full. This one even more so. That’s why I told you guys to hunt for koroks at all times. See something out of place? A rock formation with one rock missing? A flower? A pinwheel? Shit you can blow up in the middle of nowhere? That’s a korok. Every weapon you have should be fused. |

It's definitely not the most dogshit of any zelda- some of the wolf link sections of TP, constant redirecting winds and empty ocean in WW, tons of tedium in SS- but it was the worst part of TotK so far. It felt like it got a lot less development than the other temples, but honestly reaching the temples is more work than the temples, and that seems fine. Yunobo is indeed shit but he is also essentially infinite bombs |

Break every rock and sell the minerals, sell monster parts, sell plants and items you pick up. Once you get some warp points open and find some good spots for minerals and dragons, focus on hitting those every day or two of game time. You could make a big loop around the map in BOTW to collect minerals and dragon parts and rack up about 10k rupees every lap. They would respawn by the time you finished to start over. |

Oh my god, I feel like the stupidest piece of shit ever.
Just finished the Spirit Temple. Was wondering why I was having issues with certain segments. I guess I completely missed the mechanic about using crystallized charges to upgrade your energy well(battery). I’m pretty far along in the game and have just been creeping along with a single battery, which is doable, but definitely inhibiting. Don’t make the same mistake I did. I’ve also wasted a shit ton of batteries. |

Someone did the research of weapon fusion durability.
Basically most weapons will last for an extra 25 hits if they're fused to something. Most of the main weapons, if fused, will last for 35 hits total. There are however some weaker weapons that will only last for a few hits even if fused, like tree branches and stuff. https://www.reddit.com/r/tearsofthekingdom/comments/13o02eg/how_fuse_durability_actually_works/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1 |

A weapon not fused is kinda worthless. Same with shields. Least that’s what I’m figuring out. That’s why you can sort materials by fuse power. |

I got lucky, when I stumbled upon it had no idea how much stamina was needed so just rolled the dice. The not knowing whether or not it was going to work really made the whole scene that much more fulfilling. Quoted: Fire Temple complete. It was definitely more difficult than the Water Temple and I had to lookup some puzzle solutions. I never want to see a minecart ever again. It just seemed to me that a lot of the mechanics of it were less polished, plus my switch was dropping frames like crazy. There’s a certain intuition most Zelda puzzles carry, with their own logic, and it just seems that one fell way outside of the norm. It made me even more mad because the setup of the story for that one was the most interesting. |
