The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

So did I for the longest time, but it often made the ore fly off and tumble down cliffs. So eventually I stopped.

I still blow up trees though. Why waste axes?

Whenever you face a Talus, if the ore weak spot is on its head, the best weapons to use are the ones that can effectively break ore. The Boulder Breaker is the most effective at doing that.
 
I would normally keep an ice and fire weapon to one shot fire/ice enemies but they broke after having them for 40-50 hours so I'm using arrows now. Fortunately I have 200+ of each arrow type excluding ancient and normal so I really don't need to worry about wasting them. I've never actually used ancient arrows, I just remember beedle giving me one once. They're very expensive considering how strong a x3 or x5 bow with the barbarian armour at close range does against guardians already for the cost of like a shock arrow I'd never use otherwise.

I'm down to the last 4 shrines, I know there's one by the kakariko fairy that is likely a shrine quest, then there's one still on Gerudo Highlands that I've yet to reach, I saved and stopped after spotting it. I assume the last two are close to Hyrule Castle.

I did use Bombs on gemstones when I didn't have a sledgehammer/weak club and they weren't on the side of a mountain. I have enough weapons now that I just smack them with whatever I have equipped at the time.
 
Shock arrows can be fun to use when it's raining, since that turns them into AoE attacks. That's the one measly benefit rain has.

I have like 350+ normal arrows, mostly because of overcompensating for constantly running out during the early parts of the game.

Also, I got it down to 12 shrines now.
 
Well, I opened up the final tower, got all the memories and got to 119 shrines. I've got 528 Korok Seeds at the moment but I'm still going to explore this middle region before beating the game so I expect it to be 550 at least by the time I'm done. I have no fucking clue where the last shrine is but I assume I'll find it by accident while taking a look around. If It comes down to it I'll just beat the game without it and look it up afterwards with the remaining 350~ korok seeds. I probably won't finish all the sidequests but I'll at least take care of the ones I've found that I basically ignored up until now. I don't think I'll grind for the armor upgrades but I have most of them maxed out anyway so that's also no big deal.

I did get to enter Hyrule Castle for the first time to get a memory so that was nice. It looks pretty interesting. I might explore it a bit more to grind some ancient materials and buy some ancient arrows for once.

edit: lmao i found the last shrine by accident. I take back all bad things I may have said about the rain.
 
I've played this game for almost 50 hours now and I've only beaten two divine beasts, completed 54 shrines and dunno where most of the korok speeds are and the western part of the world has not even been touched. This game is so big it's ridiculous.
 
for people that think zelda sounds like a loser you can now change the language so she sounds like a loser in a different language

:thumbup:
 
Truthfully, I felt indifferent about the English voice acting.

Anyway, since Hard Mode raises the ranking of the standard enemies by one, it makes you wonder if the Silver enemies will change into Gold enemies. Of course, the Fire-Breath Lizalfos, Ice-Breath Lizalfos, and Electric Lizalfos do not have stronger counterparts, so I'm guessing that the gradual HP recovery makes up for the fact that some enemies do not have stronger variants.

The rank increase could also mean that the Ploymus Mountain's Lynel will always be a Blue-Maned Lynel, while at Hyrule Castle, the White-Maned Lynel is transferred over to the First Gatehouse, while a Silver Lynel takes over the Second Gatehouse.
 
Based on some research that a Miiverse user has made, the following appear to be the base attack values for the Lynel species.

Lynel: 15
Blue-Maned Lynel: 20
White-Maned Lynel: 26
Silver Lynel: 30

If a Gold Lynel does end up being a thing in Hard Mode, I'd hate to think about how overpowered it could be with the Savage Lynel weaponry.
