Tears Of The Kingdom | Get Link “OVERPOWERED” At The Very Beginning

It's possible to get the Champion's Tunic as soon as you activate the first tower. After being launched from the tower at Lookout Landing; fly towards Hyrule castle. Enter through the spire at the very top of the castle, and drop down inside until you get to the throne room. Light the two torches next to the throne to reveal a chest containing the tunic. It has a +5 Defence, at base value, so it's very ideal to get early on.

[@lronjack]

You can also jump down into Zelda's Room while you are there and get a 4 defense helmet!

THIS is what the beginner's guides need to be telling us. The snow pants were pretty straightforward but the other stuff doesn't stick out. Great tips! The armors as good or better than the 1000 rupee stuff and the pristine weapons and steering wheel, never would've found those on my own. Thanks

[@NoseyEmu]

An intresting fact, is that you can use auto build without parts, costing Zonite to make temporary versions of said parts, which break if torn from its original design, but if you find a Homing cart and cannon from gumball machines, you can simply combine, then copy the blueprint and have an auto aim cannon friend for only six zonite without materials, allowing you to spawn an army of them if you have enough zonite. This is awsome considering you will never really use homing carts since they can be tedious to set up and can be hardly worth the trouble getting both carts and specific turret.

[@AlohaHumor]

That sounds badass! Gonna have to try this.

[@lronjack]

For the Talus fights you can also get under them and use Ascend to next to their weak point. It's pretty funny.

[@Nikolai18A]

To add to the tips, the Master Shield is also available from the beginning; if you go around the back of the castle and enter the jetty where the docks are, there's stairs guarded by malice hands (I recommend throwing a few puffshrooms and running on by). At the top of the stairs there's an area with lit torches and a large unlit brazier; lighting that brazier will reveal the chest with the Master Shield.

[@cheesedust-n3w]

IMO, a better path to get OP early on. You go to the castle directly, get all the champions tunic, the beret and boots then go down to the docs get the hylian shield and go to the furthest part down past the electric like-likes and kill the lynel there. If you almost destroy your broad sword and it becomes crit that is 64 * 2 * 2 damage when you get on the lynels back. Use his droppings to attach to that same sword, go to the floating colesseium in the depths and rinse and repeat. At the end of this you'll have like 5 multibows, the shield, the armor some of the strongest weapons, a lynel killer, 150 arrows+ etc.

Everyone should go for the final ability "autobuild" right away. Lets you spawn any creations for zonaite even without the proper materials in the ground.

[@Laborchet]

I keep trying to find the video guide I saw on that but find others instead. I guess they’ll do, I really need that auto build

These video's are unreal! I have been playing the game for about 4-5 hours (mostly on Sky Island) and hadn't thought of trying or doing any of the stuff I have seen so far. My mind is blown! Also, don't judge but this is my FIRST Zelda game 😳..... man do I feel dumb for never playing these games, I now have a back catalogue of Zelda games I need to play after this one lol 😅 Thanks for all the tips/help!

[@Leon玲央]

BotW and Links Awakening will bring you so much fun. Since you play TotK alredy you should go for Links Awakening, since the cute unique remake Is also on Switch. If you happen to be the holder of an 3DS device you could play the remakes of Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask that are also my favorites from the old classic Zeldas. (those are available as SNES versions tho, if you have an Nintendo Online + Membership) The 3DS also holds one of the most unique Zeldas: The Legend of Zelda A Link between Worlds. The DS games you could also play then. They are all verry unique and fun. If you happen to be the holder of a WiiU, you can play Wind Waker and Twilight Princess too. (if we are lucky we even get them for Switch too, what would be crazy) I love all Zelda games and I guess they would bring you alot of fun. There are even more games next to those I've counted so far.

[@christinenadeau6371]

Play them all

[@Gi0z]

This game is much different then the rest. It focuses on creativity (like mind craft) and less on actual combat. The other games are good but I’m not sure I’m liking this one so far…to much time spent on these little quest/building farming ect and less on the story and action

[@GForceIntel]

This game is blowing my mind. How the heck did they come up with this many gameplay mechanics all in one game. How?

[@calebpagan2226]

BOTW took five years to make and this game took 6. Since a lot of the major building blocks were in place they just kept adding to what they already had. If you account for every feature in this game it’s total development is basically almost 12 years.

[@Tyrineal]

steal them all from other games that have done them before and do them half as good

Then there is a pack of 3 moblins which give 24 fuse power 1 flurry rush with the lizalfo/halberd spear thingy kills one repeat that until you kill all of the moblins then you can fuse them to what ever you want
