TO THE CASTLE - Breath of the Wild [16]

[@m.s.5370]

Gab, don't worry about BB. If anything, I find his meows adorable, he could never annoy me! And I'm sure I'm not the only one on that front

[@BB-TheCandleFairy]

Totally agreed

[@Vikki_T]

Absolutely love BB 💕

[@shintanetagawa]

Never apologize for BB's orchestra performance. I love hearing him so much!

[@EternalAzhrei]

Gab, you're NOT bad at this game! You're really not. You're enjoying playing and you are effective. You're not an EXPERT combatant, but holy crap there are always deeper parts to this game's combat someone could explore. I'm good at this game, but there are depths even a good warrior hasn't plunged. Combat is not the most important part of the game either. Keep learning things that will make you more efficient, it's all part of the journey. You've worked on lots of skills that have already made you a much more capable combatant. I was waiting for you to get to the place where you could dodge for quick strikes and getting more bow criticals, and BAM now you're there. Maybe work on quick swapping next (more a mental exercise than a difficult skill) and you'll be even more efficient. Sorting your inventory when you get new equipment will make that easier as the weapons will be where you want when you look through the menu. Again though, you have been through a journey with this game, as all games do. And you've improved greatly. You are a capable warrior, Gab, keep it up!

[@silent_statement757]

yeah she no-hitted a major test.

[@liamnehren1054]

Zelda's diary is in her room just across the bridge from her study where you read her research journal. It gives a lot of insight to her thoughts in the memories.

[@ororo94]

13:00 Gab, doing a major test of strength like it's nothing made me so proud of your progress in this game! I remember at the very beginning of this playthrough guardians really scared you, but look how far you've come! I'm sad this series is nearing it's end but it's definitely in my top 3 favorite playthroughs you've done on your channel alongside Stardew Valley and Ghost of Tsushima

[@jamesdiez6685]

The Hylian shield is genuinely so durable I don’t think it would break even if you used it for everything for the rest of the game. But if it does, you can just buy it again at Tarry Town!

[@neo_b]

most shields have around 50~ durability, the Hylian Shield has whopping 800, it can take 27 Guardian Laser beams before breaking

[@ThePsychoDonutGurl]

the dude that sells it is on top of a building to the right when you walk over the bridge

[@leolion3323]

@@ThePsychoDonutGurl Worth noting that he also sells rare armours which, without him, would be lost forever if you acccidentally sold em or something.

[@diggity1039]

I always get this one as early as I can, and IF it breaks I've already had Tarrey Town built.

[@brucestephens2013]

@@neo_b 27 hits sounds about right. I've just spent a couple of hours trying to learn perfect parrying of Guardians and I think it's broken a couple of times.

[@megancollins4547]

I have been having so much fun watching you play this that I actually went out and bought the game for myself! It's my very first LoZ game and I'm having a blast. I've been playing it every waking moment I'm not eating, working, or out running errands. Thank you for introducing the franchise to those of us who are brand new to it, your passion and love for it really show.

[@lokicooper4690]

Same here. I've only played the really early games (80s, early 90s), so this has been refreshing to watch her play. I had no idea what it was going to be like! Love it, bought it, preordered Tears of the Kingdom too.

[@lauranorena26]

Same here! My husband played the game when it first came out, but I never really payed attention. I started playing because of this playthrough and I am obsessed! Now we play together :)

[@loremasterkev]

When you go back to the castle, have a look in Zelda's room again, there's a diary to read through. It's worth the trip.

[@Sjiras]

The kings diary is also really interesting to read. Hidden near the library

[@brucestephens2013]

@@Sjiras yes, definitely read the King's diary.

[@pinkblossoms]

@@Sjiras I agree on both Zelda and the King’s diary! Zelda’s reveals a great deal about Link, since he actually talks to her in it while Mipha’s is more based on observation.

[@pinkblossoms]

The way I see it: Mipha’s diary for info on Kid Link, Zelda’s diary for info on current Link. (Or “grown up” Link however you wanna put it.) xD

[@orianamidence]

Who on earth would think you are bad at this game?? You are head and shoulders above me! I have learned all sorts of new things about this game from you. But also...who even cares if you are "bad" at the game? You do a great job and are fun to watch.

[@katiebrantley8928]

👏👏👏 Couldn’t agree more!

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa2004]

I do think it's fascinating how good she is a FromSoft games in general, but how weirdly frightened BotW seems to make her, when the latter is much much easier to most people than the former.

[@Glitcher2000]

Actually, she IS bad at this game. Hey, did you know there’s this thing called a “shield” and that you can use it to block attacks? Maybe you can clue her in.

[@orianamidence]

@@Glitcher2000 haha okay chief

[@halvedemi]

​@@Glitcher2000 she's definitely not bad. Also, no one likes a game snob. People usually play for fun.

[@lisi2315]

I think most people who are eager to tell you their tips just want to share their excitement and passion for the game. But those who are telling you that you're "bad" need to take a backseat because first of all rude! And second of all what?? Throughout this entire series I was always impressed with how you picked up things super quickly and figured out all the puzzles so easily. Stuff that took me hours or that I eventually just googled because I got too stuck 😅 And you casually discovered new things that I never even knew about. At the end of the day you should play the way you want and enjoy the game at your pace. I for one think half the fun is seeing how you figure things out precisely because there isn't one "right way" to play the game.

[@oliviayin6363]

Can't imagine anyone having the nerve to tell you that you're bad at playing these games when clearly you've built a whole career out of it, and if you were bad at it no one would be here to give up 2+ hours of their day to watch you. Those champion challenges seem really hard, but thanks for taking the time to play this game so thoroughly, I never got to see many of these things when my boyfriend and I played it. You're amazing!

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

I'm glad you're wrong, and people are still willing to watch content creators even when they struggle with games sometimes. Obviously that's not the case here anyway, but that would be a cold, dark platform.

[@SymbaLily]

It has been amazing to watch you play through this! I felt the same as you did about the game and I do still prefer the og format of Zelda (and Ocarina of time lol). It can be so overwhelming to read very passionate comments and advice during lets plays haha but I think you have done so well and should be so proud of the playthrough! Also, you're so close to 1 million subscribers which is amazing! 💫so so well deserved

[@malmao5275]

I can't believe that people are making you feel bad at this game! You are awesome at it! I find your playing to be just the right balance of fighting and avoiding fights in the name of exploration. Plus, a small amount of messing up here and there is what makes playing (and watching) fun! I have had such an amazing time watching your play thru. It made me pick it up again after like 2 years. You have the exact spirit that made me love the game to begin with. Such a good primer for Tears of the Kingdom next month, too.

[@aliceheartcott137]

Perfect Timing - this is like being given a pillow when you’re sleepy 😂😊

[@SpringOnion567]

2 memories with Majora’s mask. You’re adding new lore to the game.

[@heatherandclover]

I watched you fight that Lynel last episode and immediately told my husband how in awe I was of your skill and ability- you are absolutely not bad at this game!!!! At all!!! Tons of people have practiced timing certain combos and moves over and over to get them down really well but the way you observe and react in real time at least as incredible, imo :)

[@jesseire666]

Right? I've never been able to defeat a Lynel meanwhile Gab is out here making it look so easy. If anyone considers her bad at this game, I hate to think what they'd say about me 😂 I honestly think it doesn't matter how bad or gigabrained you are at a game once you're having fun ❤️

[@emilycunningham2556]

​@@jesseire666mainly seems to be dude trolls? So, no one worth space has been critical that I've seen. You're probably doing great at your own game too - I have to remember at times that she's a professional here. ❤

[@TerminatorJuice]

I have 400 hours in this game on 3 different playthroughs, and I ALWAYS have the Hylian Shield equipped, and it has never broke on me. But also, you can get a new one in Tarrey Town if you do manage to break it!

[@MadraRua97]

Whoever told gabs she's bad at this game, I hope only you left socks go missing, and you always find a sharp pebble in your shoe! (We love you, Gab! You're doing amazing with this play through!❤)

[@isabellesharkie1813]

Gab, I perch up high and throw bombs at enemies whenever I can because I genuinely suck at combat. You went in guns blazing on a lynel. You’re perfect at this game. People who are flawless at everything are kind of boring to watch tbh. It feels show-offy and unrelatable. Your playthrough is my favourite one I’ve watched!

[@pharmannie]

Not having enough inventory space for Hylian Shield gave me Skyward Sword nostalgia hahah

[@Mickey10159]

I'm internally screaming at the sight of baby Sidon. He's so stinking adorable!!! ❤🦈❤

[@Average-Joe851]

20:19 Daruk's Protection Overrides all shield properties because the blast never reaches your shield. Also if the Hylian shield breaks you can replace it at a secret shop in Terry Town. 42:00 If you do enough damage to stationary guardians they malfunction and rapid fire which ever way they are looking.

[@S.A.463]

You're not at all bad at this game. And also what does it matter? You're enjoying it, I am enjoying seeing you play a game I personally love. I don't give a flying ass about how 'good' you are. Strange people. Just do you Gabs! That's why most of us watch you ❤❤

[@Princess-lw9lu]

I love watching your gameplay, Gabs. Don’t listen to the haters you are doing great!

[@pepperpoot8563]

if anything, watching your playthrough made me think the game's too easy 😅 you're flying through things that took me actual hours to understand and actually do, hahah. and there's no right or wrong way to do anything! I get that people get a big too invested because they feel strongly about the game, but really it's not any of their business. you're doing great ♥️

[@gregputnam7243]

That fact that Link needs the Sheikah slate during trials specific destined for the champions of the divine beasts makes me think that they had the power of their corresponding sheikah powers. Mipha has the power to heal and fight with ice. That is a cool theory and might explain why they were the intial canidates to pilot the divine beasts

[@sharondornhoff7563]

I don't think the shrines were a part of the Trials as performed by the four Champions, just the outdoor tasks Kass's song mentions. If anyone had found a way to get inside a trial shrine prior to the Calamity, Zelda's research journal would surely have been gushing over such a breakthrough.

[@valojormakka2904]

The shrine in Kakariko village is really fun. The one involving the ball next to Impa. It has a little story connected to it too about some of the villagers

[@nyyxs]

Gab, watching you play this is always such a joy!! Even so, what matters most is that you are enjoying it and having fun!! Your smile and laughter brighten all our days! Enjoy it your own way, we are cheering you on no matter what, that's what the Gab's crew do! 😂😂

[@Jess538]

As someone who has completed multiple play throughs of this game, I have learnt a lot from your play style and discoveries! The way this game is played is unique to everyone, which is one of the reasons BOTW is so loved! Therefore there is no wrong or right way to play - and the weird comment bros are super cringe 🫡

[@hamshavathanaorzora6515]

The memory dedicated to Champion Mipha is my fav part...She is so cool and baby Sidon so adorable 😍 I can't wait to see you finish the Champion's ballad and defeat Ganon, lesgoo...You got this, Gab

[@Magusguile]

The thing that makes Breath of the Wild so fun to watch other people play through is that everyone chooses a different path and plays differently. You aren't bad at the game! You just do some things others might not do the same way. Keep having fun playing how you want, I'd only worry about quest/destination suggestions so you don't miss something cool.

[@richiebrokie8120]

don't worry about the comments, gab! i know theres a very slim chance of you seeing this, but this game is built on learning at your pace, your way. there is no one way to do something. it helps to have people giving you hints, but don't sweat it. the ideal botw playthrough is as un-influenced as possible, putting yourself in links shoes to explore his world. obviously that isn't the case here, but still. relax, explore, and enjoy. we love to watch either way.

[@KairosMalificus]

I forgot how much the music at the castle gave me chills .

[@LouPlayfort]

the way I just snorted with laughter when you landed on that guardian that didn't load in at first

[@rizahawks99]

That last cutscene made me tear up!! 😭 That was so cute!!! ❤

[@LoudWife]

Plenty of people have already said it, but you’re doing great. One of the cool things about BotW is that there’s no “right” way to play. You’ve solved several puzzles differently than I would have, and you beat a frickin white-maned lynel!

[@tearumn]

Gab, the beauty of Breath of the Wild is that EVERYONE plays it differently! You are in no way bad at it, and I genuinely hope that comments with critiques or backseat gaming haven't ruined your enjoyment of the game. Everyone enjoys and experiences games and let's plays differently, but we want you to know that we enjoy your content the way it is, given you enjoy it too 😊

[@gillianslaunwhite5007]

Hey Gab! for the repeat battles with the divine beasts you can eat a meal with a boost before entering the beast and it will stay with you! ( so for the lightening one def drink an elixir for lightening defence haha)

[@idavis094]

I have loved every video of this playthrough. It's actually become a comfort series for me. Also you're amazingly skilled in this game. You've gotten through trials and shrines that I would sit and be like "nope...I'll come back." Thank you Gab for such an amazing series. I'm happy you're giving it a second chance. Can't wait to see the final episode and your thoughts about it. 💜

[@jesseire666]

A) I personally love Bebe's commentary. I think he adds interesting insight. B) You are NOT bad at this game by any stretch. Anyone saying so is an insecure weirdo. You figure out stuff that took me literal hours SO quickly, your combat is great, and on top of that you make me realise I didn't make the most of the game when I played because there's so much you uncover 😍

[@pinkblossoms]

Gab you’re REALLY good at the game. :D I’m happy you’re doing the DLC, this along with that AoC game’s cutscenes brings so much richness to the characters and story. It’s interesting that Mipha’s diary is about Link becoming silent and distant (visiting less often), and Zelda’s diary is about Link becoming closer to her and more talkative and spending more time with her. But it makes sense they bond over both having an absurd amount of pressure on their shoulders as Princess and Hero. We get to learn a lot about “present time” Link in Zelda’s diary. But yes you’re doing amazing. Great gameplay! And yes, Fi is back. Skyward Sword is important to this game and likely the next game.

[@samanthamarkham3934]

Honestly Gabs playthroughs of any of the Legend of Zelda games gives me comfy cozy feelings. For me, they’re too puzzle heavy for my non puzzle minded brain. The exploration, knowledge of other titles, excitement (in any game really) is just outstanding. Plus, when the BB makes an appearance it’s always a good day

[@SpringOnion567]

I do like how the race part of Zora’s domain gives you a shrine to the only permanent red Lynel in the game.

[@ladyrayven4664]

You're playing the game your way, and that's the best way for you. Don't be discouraged because others believe their way is "better" or the "right" way. We love how you play the games you choose and wouldn't change anything! ❤

[@Onbetween]

You "not being good" at the game (hard dissagree) makes me more confident in my gaming abilities! This is the first big game I bought and my first save was horrendous. I found it so hard, didnt know what to do, kept forgetting controls. But seeing you play this game gave me a guideline to follow and made me really enjoy it and more confident. I never watch people who are amazing at games but people who enjoy it and make it fun! ❤

[@Niriixa]

There's been a couple of botw playthroughs I started watching, but your continued enjoyment of the game has kept me coming back 😊 it's like a really soothing and fun experience and exploration of the game 💖

[@YunusAumeeruddy]

Was super excited to see a new episode up today, knew that was my night made already. You're definitely doing great, and I enjoyed every episode, especially when you took the time to do as many things as you could ! About things to check before finishing up: - When you finish the champions' Ballad DLC quests completely and get something from Kass, go inside your house and upstairs, a little something interesting will happen. - You can find Zelda's diary in her room. The one you read was her research notes in her study room, her room is just on opposite side of the bridge where the castle memory is. There's also the king's journal as well in his study room which is hidden behind a metal bookcase in the library.

[@isda-loveshot]

I feel like BOTW is one of those games where there's no "right" way to play it. And you're totally not bad at this Gab! Been loving the playthrough, plus it's always nice to listen/watch you play while I study for finals 🤗

[@mymelody_13]

This playthrough has been such a comfort for me. Seriously. Every time you upload, it’s becomes a highlight of my week. And as excited I am to see you beat it, I’m sad to see it end soon. 😢 Also just a heads up, I know you said you might not get every shrine, but if you ever wanted to, I’m pretty sure you actually have 1 more extra ring of stamina you can unlock. Also, next time you venture into the castle, if I remember correctly, there are some diary entries laying around both by the library and in Zelda’s bedroom that add a little extra story for her and the King as well, if you’re interested. Anyways, thanks for the great part! Looking forward to the next! ❤

[@meowixbaby]

I love this series so much that I watch the older videos when I’m waiting for new ones to come out

[@Lesley_RedRhody]

Why do viewers have to put so much pressure on Gaming (or partially Gaming) KZbinrs? Now you’ve got her anxious about how she’s playing! Don’t people realize by now that playing video games as your job- commentating over gameplay and hundreds of factors that go with it- takes a huge chunk of the player’s concentration away from the game? Just let Goobers play however the hell she wants! Or *you try* recording Let’s Plays or Streaming in front of thousands of eyeballs and see how you like all the backseat gaming!

[@Ajlez]

Ooohh! This is my first time seeing the final memory! I remember early in the story people talk about the champion falling there, there's a wall (Fort Hateno) that you pass through after that field that they make sound very important, and I was like, huh, that's me, what was I doing here? And I didn't know they ever actually went back to that spot and explained how things went down. Neat! Took a long time to learn that hahaha!

[@HawaiianLuvor152]

Fun fact: Mixing caffeinated beans and decaf beans in coffee is fairly normal! Some places call it “Half Caf”.

[@DungeonInkling]

You're solid at combat in this game! Please never listen to people who make you doubt that. I am currently replaying it as a refresher for Tears of the Kingdom and I can tell you I feel so out of my element in combat I had a Lynel fucking me up just yesterday when I was trying to fight it and if I were to compare myself to watching you lately, You look like a combat pro in comparison. Keep it up you champion!

[@Elleremus]

Just wanted to come in and say you helped me finally take the plunge and start playing this game with your beginning episodes. I love it a lot!

[@wahhbajack]

Im so glad you saw those comments. I was worried for your story 😭😭 im excited for you to see the castle ahhh its scary but my favorite. Edit: I don't care how you play it per se! I just want you to be able to see the story stuff. Quite frankly, messing up in this game can be hilarious

[@justintime343]

You should seek out all of Kass's quests and complete them. There's an extra bit of his story in Rito Village afterward.

[@DHiRA3]

baby Sidon that part was the best! my first time ever seeing all these different quests being done

[@sarahk9805]

One of my favorite things in the castle are zelda and king rhoams diaries! The kings diary is hidden behind a bookcase in the library and zeldas diary is in her room (not her research journal).

[@KendraLyons]

I am absolutely loving this play through! Hope you’re having lots of fun-that’s what I enjoy most about watching you play anything! your joy is so infectious :)

[@Princessdorkness]

I love this game and I love everything you do. Thank you for being here and thank you for all your hard work ❤

[@morgana.mermaid]

I just wanted to say thank you so much for playing this game! I am currently playing it for the first time, I had honestly never played a Zelda game but watching ALL your Zelda playthroughs started me on a journey where I played Skyward Sword first. You are NOT bad at this game in any sense, I really admire your thoroughness in playing and how good you are at combat and also finding the treasures and koroks! While watching this series I've found so much treasure and korok seeds from your playthrough so thank you

[@jessbucher7665]

You're great at this game! That this game is so big and can still be challenging after hours of play makes it a dynamic game. Expecting a gamer to go through any game without dying or struggling at moments is perfectionist, toxic, and makes ZERO sense. That would be such a boring game. Everyone dies in combat sometimes, that's normal, that's how we learn new attack patterns and timing. Every sound in this game is tailored to the moment and designed to add stress or joy or relaxation. Experiencing stress when the music or soundscape is stressful is also a sign of a well made game, not a sign that you or any gamer is doing anything wrong. You beat Elden Ring, you can totally crush this game. And for what it's worth I really love your play style. I love that you explore because you see something interesting and not because you're following the latest senselessly perfectionist bro trend.

[@beavisorganics5781]

Also I'm so happy to see you doing the dlc. It was kinda tough at first for me but ended up being my favorite parts of the game so far I think.

[@Maas.01]

I have been enjoying this series so much. The champion's ballad trials are so fun, and i was stuck at the stairs shrine, too ! Thanks for the help Baby Sidon and Mipha bit was so precious 😢

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

Yeah I think I used some variation of "Stasis on falling block" to beat it lol

[@stephim7399]

Nice botw video as always, thanks Gabs ! The dlc champions' challenge was so much fun for me. PS : At the beginning of the video at 20:12, the ancient shield didn't work not because you were doing it wrong but because the beam was hit on Daruk's shield first and not the ancient shield (which means the reflecting mode was not activated). Keep the great work and until next video ;)

[@SaucyNick]

As a person who's dedicated themselves to 100% the game and played the game more then 4 times both on normal and master mode I say don't be afraid on trying to meet peoples expectations. You're doing very well with the game and I think you should enjoy playing the game in the way you'd like to play it. It is nice though you read and ask for help from people in the comments! One thing I would say is that you definitely should go back to the Sanidin Park Ruins for a side quest you get at Outskirt Stable. Also just to let you know when you had gone to the Forgotten Temple if you recognize the layout of the temple it's exactly like the temple from Skyward Sword.

[@TheAvenged728]

Been so excited to get home from work all day so I could sit down and watch this masterpiece

[@briarrosecottage8115]

I really like watching you play. I'm more of a gamer groupee than a gamer. So being able to watch you play is amazing as I don't play a lot of games very well. As a teen I got used to watching my brother play games on our Nintendo. My 1st husband was a gamer and I started enjoying crocheting or knitting while he played. So grateful for KZbin and you and Jacksepticeye, as I can continue to enjoy doing this. Your positive energy is infectious and you've helped me through the passing of my 2nd husband and having to do it through covid. So thank you for sharing something you love to do with all of us ❤.

[@neveramsay2897]

I love watching you play this game. Your first episode got me wanting to play the game. I bought it a few days later and finished it in a week (so I could watch your playthroughs without spoilers). I love how different you play to the way I play. I’m now on my second play through and through watching you Gab, I have been able to play something completely different, simple things like finding the Zoe’s helmet and Tarrey Town were things I missed first time. Please don’t ever apologise or feel bad about how you play. As my favourite KZbinr I go to your videos for guidance on my playthroughs. I have already got Tears of the Kingdom on pre-order so once it arrives I will be doing exactly the same thing. Solo play through then Gab play through. ❤😂

[@Echo_lalia_]

Can confirm, one of the times I was trying to catch up with Naydra down the Lanayru Pass up on the cliffs, an electric keese shocked my hylian shield off of me and it disappeared, I was so Saad thinking I could never get it back again when it's genuinely the best shield in the game, I've never broken one ever, not even damaged. Just lost it. But yes, once you've logged it in your inventory at least once, you can find the merchant in Tarrey Town on one of the roofs and he will sell it to you for 3000 rupees.

[@garry2893]

Those who criticize your gameplay never had thousands of people looking over their shoulder critiquing their gameplay. They are welcome to start a channel and show us how it's done! Keep doing what you do and remember that only a few short years ago you were excited to have 50 subscribers. Now look at your accomplishments. Ignore those who spend time making life miserable and have nothing to show for it. You are far more competent and successful, that is why they are so miserable. Success breeds contempt.

[@bond77581]

You play you, Goo...bers! When the Satori Mountain has a big blue glowing thing on it, that's the opportune moment to go. You can see it from far away, just FYI. Haven't watched the entire video yet, but if you haven't, there is a korok at the highest point of the castle.

[@kthfox]

omg. you tear this stuff up so fast. what a beast.

[@rutgerdejong1660]

The Champions Ballad is quite long still. It's three more times what you did for Mipha's Grace upgrade, so 3x3 shrines. Plus there is an entire dungeon and boss after that. And after that, exploring the inside and outside of Hyrule Castle and defeating Ganon. Don't know if you can put all of that in 1 episode. I think it might be 1 extra long episode or 2 slightly shorter than normal episodes.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

She doesn't need to do much castle exploring if she doesn't want, she can just climb right to the top. But still, three more songs and the final challenge might be too long.

I don't have any advice for you; you're doing such a thorough play through and doing it really well! You really managed to pack a lot of fun sidequests into here. Tarrey Town is always my favorite, and you already knocked that out, so yeah I'd be totally satisfied if you did the DLCs and went to Ganon. I will watch this playthrough many more times in the future!

How can ANYONE be hating on you and saying your bad at this game?! Excuse meeee you are a QUEEN and make it look effortless! I enjoy your Zelda play through so much and get so happy when you upload a new video 🥰🥰🥰

[@queenoftriforce]

Oh man, this has been so much fun to watch and watching you enjoy it feels so good ❤ Honestly, the trials are just for the Master Sword and yes they’re fun until you die for something silly and have to start over lmao. Those might be for you to do at your own rhythm and time if you ever are curious. I can’t wait to see you go to the castle 😊 Thanks Gab!

I’m really happy to see that Gab is enjoying her second play through of BOTW. I felt the same way about the game the first time but if you give it a second chance, you see things in a different light

I have enjoyed watching you play this game again and enjoy it. I recently finished it myself too. My personal opinion is that with any game they are ment to be enjoyed and have fun time with - no matter how you play them or how good you are. I have never considered myself an excellent gamer or anything of sorts, but I do enjoy playing games a lot in my own way. So keep up and don't mind what others think of your style. I have always enjoyed it and you seem to have a lot of fun playing this one. That's all that counts.

Gab you are definitely not bad at this game! You inspired me to play again too and I'm having a blast going right alongside you. I have done the DLC divine beast fights before so if you (or anyone else reading this) want help on strategies I can drop some hints! I also have done the Master Trials in a previous play and can say they are not worth it XD They're fun just to do but definitely not worth the stress. I'd say you got most of the really big things (unless you want to read Zelda's diary) so going through once more before Ganon feels like a good plan to me :) Thanks for playing Gab

The rest of the DLC is much longer than you’re expecting. I don’t want to spoil, so just saying I think you have another episode of just Champion’s Ballad. But you’re also right that Ganon won’t take long, especially if you don’t follow the path up to the castle and fight the things along the way.

Just wanted to say I'm sorry some people have made you feel anxious about your play style. I've been watching several people replay this game in anticipation of TOTK and yours is definitely my favorite and the one I look forward to. I really enjoy how chill you are and how much you seem to genuinely enjoy the game. The way you connect with the characters and cutscenes, laugh at jokes, and get excited over little secrets and finding the Koroks and when you riddle out the puzzle of the Shrines. As a Zelda fan, it's makes watching this so great to see someone else just enjoy the game. I hate this culture that everyone needs to be a god gamer to play a game. I sucked at combat during this game for a good 80+ hours until it started clicking 😂 So, please just keep being you because your content has been such a joy to discover. 💚

WHO TOLD YOU, THAT YOU WERE BAD AT THIS GAME!!!! we will all beath them up. I love watching you play this series and I've had so much fun and learned a lot. There are things you found or knew about that I didn't, and I also enjoyed chuckling at the things I actually did know. I don't think you're bad at the game by any stretch of the word, but even if you were It would still be fun to watch because you are fun to watch. Being bad at a game doesn't mean that the content is going to be. I love you're videos and series so much so thank you for putting all this good stuff out there

[@Tonibp28]

No way. The sword trials are super fun! All you really have to do is prepare properly and then take your time and be very strategic about how you fight.

[@LimeIsTheName]

Zelda: you’re ready! it’s time for you do defeat Ganon! It’s a hundred years in the making. Link: but what about my side quests? Zelda: …?

[@gregputnam7243]

Can you imagine if, at the end of that bonus memory, instead of Zelda reaching out to Link it was Fi instead. She does not jump out like she did in Skyward Sword but she just starts talking to him saying actually what Zelda said about gaining his memories and going to defeat Calamity.

[@Ilandris505]

This is how I get a perfect parry for a guardians. For close range I parry as soon as see a beam (This needs quite high reaction times so timing it a bit before blast also works) For mid range (This is almost all of encounters), I wait till the beam is about half way to link. For long range (almost max distance) I wait for the beam to be about two thirds along. Hopefully this helps

[@krakentowa8727]

I have beaten Gannon three times and have never entered the castle through that entrance you found. I’ve also never found that shrine!🤣😂🤣 Just play it however the eff you want. That’s the genius of such a densely packed game-you get individual experiences.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

The Champions' Ballad has an entire final dungeon to it, even after you do the 9 shrines and 3 boss refights you have remaining. It may take you two more episodes to finish up, although it's probably closer to one and a half, or even just one episode more in length. But I don't think you would have time to beat it and also beat Ganon in one episode. You're definitely correct in your estimation that you could go to Ganon right now and easily beat him with what you have. You're late-game powerful, with all the champion abilities, and he'll be at half health. The point of most of the extra quests isn't really to make you powerful enough for that, it's just the extra story and shrine puzzles and whatnot. The Trial of the Sword is easier than it sounds, you get to do it in chunks and they give you more resources for harder enemies/environments, but it's definitely not essential game content, so no problems with you deciding not to attempt it.

Can't believe people are saying you are bad at BotW. You are amazing at it! Several times during the playthru, I have noticed you did XYZ faster and/or better than I have. The tips are only because there is a lot to this game, like 900 korok seeds, and quests you wouldn't think are quests.
