FIRST TIME EXPERIENCING The Sword Trials in The Legend Of Zelda Breath of the Wild...

[@Shreyas0324]

It’s still crazy to think that less than a month from now it’ll be 1 year since Dee defeated Ganon and saved Princess Zelda in BOTW! We’ve come a long way, so many amazing memories along the way! Thank you so much Dee for all the Zelda content! 🥰 Hope we go all out with the 36th anniversary celebration this year, with WindWaker , SkywardSword & hope Botw2 comes out in time❤️😁

[@MadGear1986]

I guess you can call me a 'mad lad' because I finished the Trial of the Sword on Master Mode and let me tell ya: That was one of the hardest challenges that I have yet faced when it comes to gaming. It drove me absolute bonkers after a while. It was still a nice challenge.

[@FreeTibetFTW]

I did it on a mastermode nuzlocke with one and a half stamina wheel, nonupgraded runes, unexpanded inventory, durian hearty food but no dragon food, it was a pain in the ass, took me like 7 or 8 attempts, and since i'm such a terrible archer that wizzrobe was as hard for me as the next floor lizzalfos. What was i thinking?

Honestly doing that kind of thing feels cheap. Maybe if you're doing Master Mode Trials, but there its a given. The game is already unfairly stacked against you in that mode to an absurd degree. In the regular game the final trials are hard, but with skill and strategy those tactics aren't really required.

Also quick tip, if you light your arrows on fire using a nearby skull torch (or self made campfire) they will do much more damage making tanker enemies go down faster and allowing you to use less arrows.

[@yaman2503]

Still didnt make it lol

[@Camera_Cru]

Master mode beginner trials are the hardest ones out of all of em

[@Lukaurio]

The best thing I did for food was I ate a 1/2 hour defense up for the trials before I went into them and then any food that I got throughout the trials, if you combine 2 or more different effect foods together in a pot in the rest room they will just be regular food and you get more healing and it won't take away the defense buff. Also if you chopped down the trees and cook one wood in a pot it restores quarter of a heart doesn't look like much but after cutting down a lot of trees you can get a lot of healing. If you do see this and decide to do the tree method, only do one piece of wood at a time in the cooking pot otherwise it's a waste. It does take a while but it's worth it. also during the cooking animation it doesn't take away from your buff that you have because you're in a menu.

[@jordanwiley4582]

8:57 Fun fact: Link only does that animation if you are standing anywhere but directly infront of a chest and are not wearing pants. The little details in this game are why i love it so much.

The beginners trials are ironically the hardest of the three sets. In Master Mode there's an infamous floor where many, MANY players have suffered.

And the worst part is its towards the end of the trials...

[@juanjosedelpinorivas7099]

@@alinac5512 Actually the Korog Leaf is surprisingly effective in the beginner's Trials because of the huge amount of water, you can throw lots of bokoblins there and the axe can launch the Moblin to the water too, making the second to last floor rather easy.

@@alinac5512 I threw wood at them from above and set them on fire. It works really well, because they just jump a little bit and then go back to 'sleep' while being burnt by the bonfire, which is really satisfying. It's a very safe strategy in case you fail to kill the Lizalfos with the horn.

[@keithcastillo5434]

On master mode, the hardest floor is actually in the first trials. the floor with 3 lizalfos over water.

[@juanjosedelpinorivas7099]

Many of us still have nightmares with that floor, I think it was the 11th. I tried two different strats to deal with them and both worked as intended.

[@hodgepodgejim]

There’s a simple strategy to beat them. What you need to do is use Stasis on the first lizalfos and shoot it with a bow immediately. Then, carefully sneak and use the Thunder Rod you got from killing the Wizzrobe on the previous floor to disarm the silver lizalfos of their weapons. Then, one at a time, attack the silver lizalfos by hitting them once with your weapon over and over, with about a second between strikes. This has a chance to stun lock them.

[@keithcastillo5434]

@@hodgepodgejim When I cleared this floor I quickly killed the first lizalfos with a bow. Then I very carefully sneak up to one of them and sneak strike it, when it is on the ground I walk around to the front of it before it gets up, when it gets up it does not notice me and turns around so I sneak strike it again.

THE MIDDLE TRIALS... and in Master Mode... And watching this again, even in Normal Mode, not Master... it brings all that nightmares BACK!!

By the time I died I didn’t even care, I just wanted to go to bed, but even then I had to drive 30 minutes home. ‘Twas probably a Monday or somethin crazy. Needless to say, I still haven’t gone back to beat it yet because I know it will take me hoursss to do 👀 Can’t wait to see you give that a go, Dee!

[@ilbroducciore]

The most rewarding Zelda experience I ever had was Trial of the Sword on Master Mode with three hearts only, and no food effects before entering the trial allowed. I did allow myself three full stamina wheels though. It can be extremely frustrating at the beginning because of how many times you’ll die (and in fact, the beginner trials are the hardest ones since the weapons you get are so weak). Eventually you learn enemy patterns to a tee and how to optimize your sneakstrikes, and it gets really fun and thrilling from there. I highly recommend it to my fellow gaming masochists out there! Expect lots of OHKOs, and resist the urge of throwing your controller against the wall ;)

[@Tutorial7a]

i have no words for this pain

[@juanjosedelpinorivas7099]

Yeah, I tried many times the speedruns no damage. After some tries eventually I succeeded in beating them in about 20 minutes each. It's a very challenge unfit for those who have no patience or lack extensive knowledge of enemy patterns. Ed: It's not impossible, just be prepared to suffer in Master Mode in the infamous floor 11 in beginner trials.

[@ChipipoydotcomdotPH]

[@MeatSim9]

It sounds like they just expanded the game roster for the Nintendo 64 games available online, they added my two all-time favorites, Banjo-Kazooie and Paper Mario. You HAVE to play them! :D Banjo-Kazooie will be a similar experience to Super Mario 64 in that it's a 3D platformer, but Paper Mario is very different. The meat and potatoes of the game is turn-based combat, but you can equip different badges and partners to completely change your fight style, and it has a wonderful story to it, and everything is paper-themed, so it has a storybook feel to it. And then the sequels for both, Banjo-Tooie and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, were both total bangers, perfecting and excelling at what the previous ones did right, and expanding their worlds tremendously.
