To be honest we should have had a basement or bulk / mass storage area in the house you can buy and renovate. Unfortunately there are only 9 spots to store equipment in the house. It’s nice to know that you can have an enhanced Hylian Shield at some point.

You can get the forest dweller sword/shield/bow any time though! Forest trial! If you don't have the set you'll be given one free of charge. They get removed from your inventory if you quit the trial early, but I'm pretty sure you can just fast travel out after starting it.

[@InhabitantOfOddworld]

Breakable items really needs delicate balance. It's something I felt BoTW did poorly. Many games with breakable items feature a crafting system. Take Minecraft as a starter for 10. Yes, your crappy wooden axe or stone pick breaks quickly and often, but it's also very easy to gather the materials to make more. BoTW just misses that mark entirely. It's one thing to have any weapon break permanently, and stick the Master Sword on a recharge timer, but when you cannot craft more, and don't guarantee the player can get another one, it's very easy for the player to be left with nothing at a critical moment.

[@MemeLordCthulhu]

I've never played it but is it fun to people who didn't like every other zelda game? I always thought puzzles were kinda pointless and boring. That's part of why I don't like the new gow other than the fact they completely changed the game and made it worse than the ps2 games

[@alephbunchofnumbers]

@@MemeLordCthulhu wouldnt call myself a Zelda veteran, but I've played a handful of the past titles. I would say it's a fairly significant departure from the past titles, and botw places a much greater emphasis on exploration and nonlinear progression. (After leaving the "tutorial" area, you pretty much have all the tools you need to go out into the world and begin exploring, in whichever order you choose.) That being said, the puzzles in the shrines/divine beasts (and even when finding korok seeds) is still a huge part of the gameplay loop, so if you hate puzzles, I'm not sure I can recommend the game to you. There's still a lot to like about the main gameplay mechanics (like the physics engine is pretty fun to fool around with) but if you really really hate puzzles... TL;DR look up a vid showcasing some puzzles and see if they're tolerable to you. If not, you won't enjoy this game. 🤷‍♂️ hope that helps.

One thing I hardly ever see mentioned is the fact that the Forest Dweller's Bow also has a VERY fast draw rate, comparable to the Falcon Bows in fact! This makes it one of the best all purpose default bows to use in the game. There's also an infinitely respawning one just slightly SW of the Lanayru Tower in a small cave behind some bombable rocks, making it very easy to restock after every Blood Moon. You can easily float right down to it from the tower, and there's even a Hinox in the nearby trees to restock on some good weapons too.

[@VideogamePianoMan]

A couple things that I noticed from your video that I hadn't seen comments on yet: 1) Pretty sure Cursed Bokoblin skulls only appear/spawn in each of the divine beasts (Hyrule Castle malice will only spawn Moblins/Lizalfos skulls), so they are another "missable" picture (both in Normal and Master Mode) 2) It's worth noting that Blue Lynels only "go extinct" in Master Mode; Normal Mode players shouldn't have to worry about them 3) Another enemy that "goes extinct" due to MM upgrade tiering is the Guardian Scout I (the ones that just shoot at you and don't use melee weapons); they will only appear in Divine Beasts and certain, non-respawning DLC shrines iirc. 4) Finally, as far as unique pictures go, Kakariko's Ta'loh Naeg shrine has a unique tutorial Guardian Scout II in that it is blue and "unpossessed" compared to other Test of Strength scouts. Since this scout doesn't respawn after the blood moon, your only opportunity to snap a pic is before completing the shrine, and that is unlikely without a) purposefully ignoring it until you have the camera, or b) happening to break all your weapons and being told to return later. That being said, I absolutely adore your resource videos for BotW -- the way you play and enjoy games is very similar to the way I enjoy playing as well. Thank you for all your hard work!!

[@100PercentZelda]

nice! These are great catches!

[@100PercentZelda]

[@skins4thewin]

You're actually wrong about the Guardian Scout 1's going extinct in Master Mode, as they always appear in certain shrines, one being the very first shrine you usually do aka Magnesis. The lone Guardian Scout in there is always a Guardian Scout 1, as well as in several other shrines.

[@thedavephan]

The house should have had an option for a storage room or storage chest to store extra meals, weapons etc for collecting. My one wish for the next Zelda game is that they allow weapons to be repaired instead of shattering. Even the most precious weapons given to you after beating a divine beast can shatter and it’s annoying to get a new one.

[@KarmatheCorgi]

You can have the champion weapons fixed; you just have to find their respective blacksmiths/weapon repair shops. EG: Harth in Rito Village.

You also get to keep the one you get the first time you take the Korok Trial of Wood. (Same for the Forest Dweller's Bow and shield) And there's one you can take a picture of at the starting point of that trial even if you've already completed it.

[@verindictus3639]

12:58 Actually, I think that no matter how far you've leveled up Link, a Blue Lynel can always be found in the first guard tower on the path leading to the Castle entrance. So you can always get a picture of him.

[@egorhans1424]

Correct, only the Spear, Crusher, Strong Sword (because the Hyrule Castle Lynels don't drop gear), Strong Spear and Strong Crusher are missable. Well, and Kohga. The rest of the pics can be found somewhere for eternity. (Yiga scythe respawns in the Hideout, Champion weapons can be reforged at their respective tribes, Hylian Shield can be bought at Tarrey Town, Blights can be rematched through DLC, Korok Sword can be temporarily re-obtained by redoing the Fire Trial of the Koroks, Kite Shield can be found on Selmie's wall)

[@egorhans1424]

Oh, and Hyrule Castle has a permanently White Lynel, and the Plymouth Lynel is permanently red. Unlike the other 2 non-levelling Lynels, the Plymouth Lynel actually drops gear, so that stuff isn't missable either. I forgot though, Strong Lynel Bow and Strong Lynel Shield are missable too.

[@TheBlueArmageddon]

Yeh but it doesnt drop weapons

[@GG256_]

I'm too anxious *to* wait. Especially in Master Mode, I just get the shield from the castle hinox and then if you want another, build tarrey town. (The shield will last about 30 hours of normal use.) Not worrying about a shield actually made it easier to think about being a completionist, for me personally. I just reserved one shield slot for the hylian shield.

Shoutout to the XBC2 chests, they look cool as heck. It’s what I have in my compendium for treasure chests and honestly, great decision. My only complaint with them is that they have the star fragment insignia on them instead of something from XBC2- personally I was hoping the Leftherian Crest would be on them, or maybe the aegis core crystal. The star fragment looks great, but feels a little generic for how cool the crossover armor is.

[@100PercentZelda]

I like the DLC chests more for some reason and have them always as 'treasure chest' , but I always put a random weapon in front of the XBC2 chests so that they can still be part of it!

[@PrincessZelda_is_My_Side_Chick]

I remember on my first playthrough, I traveled to Hyrule Castle really early in the game. I definitely died a bunch exploring through the castle, but was able to score some really powerful weapons really early in the game, and I was so damn excited to stumble upon the Stalnox fight and was even more ecstatic when I finally beat him and found out my reward was the Hylian Shield! It was most definitely an awesome surprise and that stressful exploration ended up getting me extremely well equipped for the many many hours of exploration I had left in the game.

Apparently, the check for whether Granté starts selling the Hylian Shield depends only on if a) you've opened its chest and b) it is not currently in your inventory, house or the overworld. It doesn't check if it's still in the chest! This means if you want the max durability shield but also want to have a Hylian Shield before reaching the insanely high upgrade threshold, you can open the chest with a full inventory, leave it there, buy another from Granté, and come back for the upgraded one later. This also works to "repair" the Champions' weapons without actually having taken them out of the chest, so you can do the same to have two at once.

[@100PercentZelda]

That's true! I forgot about that! I think you have to had "discover"the item for gante have it

It should be noted both the Kite Shield and the Forest Dweller's Sword can still be photographed after you've "missed" them, because they're on display at Selmie's Spot and the Korok Swamp Trial entrance respectively.

About the Obliterator, apparently (I haven’t confirmed it myself) if you fast travel to Vah Ruta after completing it (and the Obliterator I assume) and look straight up, an Obliterator will spawn and fall to your location! I don’t know if this is legit or if it is repeatable, but I do assume it’s a non-OHK Obliterator. So more of a collectible. Also about the EXP, IIRC you don’t really need to worry much about enemies leveling up as long as you don’t complete the Divine Beasts or go on a genocide run. Divine Beasts basically guarantee a level up, but you’ll have to kill A LOT of enemies to match that same EXP gain! So not much stress, just hold your bloodlust early to mid game and save the Champions for later. They’re not going anywhere and they’re already dead anyway! Lol Regardless, I always make a beeline straight for the camera anyway! Haha!

Another one you can miss is the Duplex Bow with Quick Shot modifier. You can get an Attack Up Duplex Bow from some Yiga members (although it's only level 1) but if you settle for the Attack Up mod for the Mastermode chest containing the upgraded Duplex Bow you can't get the Quick Shot version since that chest doesn't respawn. You also need around 1400 XP for the max level upgrade so you don't wanna go to early either.

[@spiegelbetrachtung1290]

No-glitch trick to have two Hylian Shields: Haven't test it myself, but I heard that the actual conditions for Granté to sell you the Hylian Shield in Tarrey Town is having opened the chest that spawns after defeating the Stalnox in the castle and not have the shield present in your inventory or anywhere else in the world. This means that if you open the chest with a full shield inventory and watch Link close it without taking the shield out, you technically fulfill both conditions and Granté will sell you a Hylian Shield without modifiers for 3,000 rupees. This is important because the Hylian Shield needs the most EXP out of all equipment to get modifiers and only the shield from the chest can have modifiers, meaning that if you get your first Hylian Shield from Granté in this manner, you can use this shield until finally grinding enough for the Hylian Shield in the chest to get the modifier you want. It's the proverbial situation of having a cake and eating it too. The only problem with this is that you need to lose *both* shields if you want Granté to sell you a third one.

[@100PercentZelda]

Yes! I heard about this small trick

I don't know if I am late on this, but I discovered about two years ago that if you are nearing midnight during the blood moon and you make it into a shrine before midnight and exit after midnight, you will reset the blood moon and it will appear the following night. This is useful if you want to avoid certain enemies in certain areas or enhance the effects of meals when you cook between 11:30 pm and midnight. I recently started a game, making sure that I never get caught at midnight outside of a shrine. It helps if you have the travel medallion.

I'm pretty sure you can get a mighty lynel bow from a bokoblin on a floating platform next to the bridge of Hylia in master mode. I remember trying to cross the bridge in by first master mode playthrough and getting absolutely bodied.

[@btggamer7623]

either way, the lynel bow and mighty lynel bow aren't missable. the Lynel on polymus mountain never goes a tier higher, and when the blue Lynel in the gatehouse at hyrule castle is out, just save and reload, then kill it. He will drop his weapons, including the bow!

[@estherstreet4582]

Yep, there's also a few around the sokkala bridges too. You can always use the gatehouse lynels to get bows, but it's much easier to fight the floating platform guys.

I really do hate the "anything can break" and "you can't get it anymore" system in BOTW. I hope they fix that in tears of the kingdom. I want unbreakable items. When I put in the work to get something I don't want it to be taken away. That is an aspect of reality I don't want in a game because that is why I play games.

I have high hopes for the sequel. Aside from Dungeons, something I really really want from the sequel would be more movesets and varied attack animations for Link. In BOTW, the weapon variety feels sort of lacking because there only seem to be swords, spears, greatswords, elemental variations of those, and not really anything else. If there were different attack animations for certain weapons and maybe even different types of attacks, it would feel more rewarding to find and use different weapons, especially if there were certain enemies weak to certain weapon types.

[@posmobin]

TL;DR: The Hylian Shield with Durability Up + has a lot of range in its hidden durability stat, so you can test it with Guardian lasers to find a good one. Regarding the Hylian shield, it's easy to know if you got the max 144 Shield Guard Up + version, but if you're going for max Durability Up + version it's a lot more difficult to know if you got a "perfect" shield. It probably doesn't matter to most people, but if you're a perfectionist/completionist who wants the perfect stats for durability transfer, the Dur Up+ modifier will give you between +217 and +360 durability for a total durability of between 1017 and 1160. So with Dur Up+ shields there are 144 possibilities, and without testing the durability, there's no way of knowing what you got. Keep reading to find out how... I found a pretty reliable way of easily testing this though, and I used it to get one that was "good enough" (although not perfect, since I'm not patient enough for that). Once you've verified that you get a yellow mod when opening the Hylian Shield chest in Hyrule castle (need at least 9416.67 "experience" from killing enemies, well after the Lynels start turning Silver/Gold at 6000 points in normal/master mode), save your game after killing the Stalnox and making the chest appear (you'll also want to turn off Daruk's Protection before saving to make testing more consistent). Open the chest (which will create an auto-save) and verify that you got Dur Up + (if not, reload your manual save). What we're going to do next if open the map and press X to leave Hyrule castle. You will find yourself near the entrance and if you walk away from the castle just on your left there will be a Guardian Stalker. Pull out your Hylian Shield and let it repeatedly shoot its lasers at you. Each laser will take away 30 durability from your Hylian shield, so a normal 800 durability shield will break in 27 lasers (800 / 30 = 26.67, which rounds up to 27), but a Durability Up + shield will take between 34 to 39 shots before breaking (1017 / 30 = 33.9 which rounds up to 34, and 1160 / 30 = 38.67 which rounds up to 39). You can use this to tell approximately how good your shield is. You have two options here... if you just want something "good enough", just let the guardian keep shooting until it breaks. If it breaks after 38 or 39 laser shots and you're happy with that, just load the auto-save after you opened the chest and save your game to keep your shield. If you want something better, just reload your manual save before opening the chest and try for something better. If you want to go for the "perfect" shield though, having it break in 39 lasers doesn't tell you enough info, since the durability could be between 1141 and 1160. This still puts your shield in approximately the top 15% of Dur Up + Hylian shields, but maybe you want to be top 5% or 1% or get a perfect 1160. What you can do is let the guardian shoot lasers like above, but if your shield survives the 38th laser, put your shield away before it gets broken on the 39th laser. Then find an isolated enemy and let it attack you an count the hits before it breaks. The 90 shield guard should be enough to ensure it only takes 1 durability loss from most enemies, but there are a few Gold enemies in the game with big weapons that can do more, so to be safe I just went to the Great Plateau and fought a lone Bokoblin. Your shield has lost 1140 durability from the 38 laser blasts, so count how many attacks you block from the Bokoblin and add that to 1140 to get your total durability. A perfect shield would withstand the 38 laser blasts then another 20 attacks from a weak enemy. The shield I ended up keeping on my Normal mode survived 38 lasers plus 10 attacks, so it has a durability of 1150, which was good enough for me since I don't have the patience to keep loading and taking lasers in hope of getting a better one. Sorry for the long response, but hopefully someone finds this useful since I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere!

[@posmobin]

Luckily the other items used for the durability transfer glitch don't have any ranges in their durability to worry about. The Spring-Loaded Hammer has a fixed durability of 80 and the Ancient Bow has a fixed durability of 120. If you're using the better Amiibo weapons (Biggoron's Sword and Bow of Twilight), the only thing to keep in mind is that they always show the blue Durability Up modifier even if they really have the yellow Durability Up + (some sort of glitch with Amiibo items). The only thing you need to make sure of is when you find the item from the Amiibo chest that you have enough enemy experience for them to scale up and get created with the yellow modifier. For the Biggoron's Sword this is 3166.67 xp and Twilight Bow it is 2916.67. Scalable Lizalfos start changing from Black to Silver (or Silver to Gold in Master mode) at 3714.29 xp, so as long as you're seeing those in world you should be fine to get your Durability Up + Biggon's Sword (always 111 durability) and Twilight Bow (always 145 durability).

[@jackthefunshack8618]

I just got to loot the forest dwellers 5 shot burst bow, and I love it! I'm still new in this game. My advice is that when you start seeing weapon mods on any chests you are looting (or on dead mobs) come back and try to check those chests (save first and have full weapon inventory so you dont accidentally loot). I am happy owner of that bow and also the maxed attack sledgehammer. Love your weapon duplication glitch video, I keep pristine versions at the house and carry copies. Thank you for all your videos!!

[@trystanbasser4420]

"accident"

[@fhz3062]

I got really upset when I noticed there were no more Blue Lynels (normal mode). I played the game avoiding searching for specific information about items and photos, you know, trying to live to experience. I enjoyed how strong the first Blue Lynels were, so strong I couldn't fight them without learning how to do it properly (my own experience growth) and also better equipment. For my surprise I noticed old enemies changing colors when I got back to some points. I thought at first glance there should be regions with stronger enemies in some regions or some mix of them. I realized there was an internal experience system after finishing the third temple (divine beast) and it made me lost almost all Lynel's gear. I got more angry and I found the Blue Lynel in the Castle and it didn't drop its weapons (I didn't know the glitch upfront) and how there was no Bokoblin's cursed head despite being the ones for Moblins and Lizalfos. I found out later there is a Blue Lynel in the DLC, but it is not so simple (time efficient) to play through the whole DLC just to maybe get a missed item. Again, trying to learn by myself without searching for info of other people who tried it. I really thought developers would leave some of the possible missable items in specific locations. At least I know what and how should I behave when I start playing the Master Mode in the future. The game is too long and I only have time to play it on vacations.

[@100PercentZelda]

I feel like they just forgot some...

[@storytellerjack22]

In normal mode I think you can still see a blue Lynel at Hyrule castle, but as I just learned in this video, he doesn't drop his weapons unless you do a save load at the right point. I too have never killed a Blue Lynel outside of the castle. I saw one in Hyrule field once, got scared, and snuck away. I don't remember seeing another one.

[@Jack-di6rc]

i think in late game (especially in master mode), having a 144 shield guard hylian shield is much better than a 90 shield with durability up+. if you fight lynels or certain gold enemies a lot, having a 144 hylian shield makes it so that your shield will lose less durability (most of the time only 1) from a attack, whereas a 90 hylian shield would lose more than 1 durability thus making it its high durability moot (1160 durability vs 800). For example: stats show that a gold lynel does 60 base damage and 150 charged damage; on top of that, the weapons they use could be as high as 108 damage. Using the shield guard formula, even the 144 hylian shield could lose more than 1 durability from just 1 attack, and the 90 hylian shield would lose much more durability. Another bummer is the durability up numbers are not shown so you can’t tell how many durability it gains. You could end up having much less durability than the maximum 1160.

[@Jack-di6rc]

@@Fielden17 it’s probably because you don’t meet the requirements for weapons/shields to have modifiers. You gain points and unlock those requirements by progressing through the story and kill enemies and eventually modifiers(blue is tier 1 and yellow is tier 2) will show up. For the hylian shield to show yellow modifiers(either shield guard or durability), you need 9k points iirc, which is the highest point requirement in the game. So if you care about having a max hylian shield, don’t pick it up just yet; if you already picked it up, reload to your last save where you haven’t picked it up.

[@100PercentZelda]

That's okay. You make me want to make a poll about it. Haha
