[@christinelianne8697]

You can get the matching pieces for the Zora armor! The pants are a reward for a quest to take a picture of a Lynel, and the helmet is in Toto Lake, which is up in the cliffs surrounding the domain. Good things to keep an eye out for as you're exploring!

[@liamnehren1054]

Also just for those who didn't realise it, that worn out stone at the back of the domain was saying where the helmet is.

[@Kikkatar.]

I never knew that! Thanks you two!

[@idavis094]

Oh my goodness! I gotta see if I can find those when I get home from work! I've been wanting to get the full set.

[@Jedzelex]

What I like about open world games or games that are not too scripted is that every streamer or KZbinr will have a very unique playthrough of the same game. Which makes watching these let's plays a lot more satisfying IMO.

[@LeSethX]

I read that no one can agree what the "correct" order is for the 4 guardians for powers. And doesn't seem to be a story preference either, except, I would say the Zora domain first due to Prince Sidon and the Zora asking you to help. A friend said she did it in probably the hardest order, starting with the Gerudo first and working clockwise from there.

[@nhouse01]

@@LeSethX the first time I played it I did Gerudo -> Goron -> Rito -> Zora, probably the worst possible way. Don't even know how I managed it, I hit the Zora first and then I decided to wait to go help them because I was annoyed at how many times they asked for help and I wanted to be stubborn, and then I was just wandering around with no rhyme or reason lol

[@maggienesin2448]

@@nhouse01 i did the complete opposite! Zora -> Rito -> Goron -> Gerudu (which btw, revali's gale is the best out of all of them, imo, but urbosa, gah DAMN shes fine) its so fun to hear of peoples vastly different experiences when it comes to the order of this game, i find it so fascinating :)

[@moniquedavis8299]

Don't know if anyone has shared this tip but the blood moon can also be your friend. Make note of where you find good weapons, bows, and shields as long as they aren't in a chest (only exception is chests in monster camps) they too respawn. So every blood moon you can restock your favorite weapons you've found lying around.

[@racherutheneko7270]

So true. I always go back to that one cave in the desert.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

This is a common misconception. Blood moons do NOT respawn all weapons or other resources in the same way they respawn enemies. Weapons will only respawn if they're directly associated with an enemy, i.e. usually held by that enemy, or lying against a log in the enemy camp so they can run to pick it up. Weapons that just stick out of the ground in random places, as well as plants, animals and ores, follow a weird system where a random map square is restored every certain amount of time. (And I don't think monster camp chests are an exception to the chest rule, if you get the chest and then revisit the same camp later, killing all the enemies won't get you anything anymore.)

[@deanwatson635]

If you dont feel like fighting you can actually get majoras mask. Monsters only notice you but wont fight you. You can find it at a ruin near the water not far from the great plateau. It’s a dlc chest

[@torgosaves427]

That one and also the masks from Kilton. I love those because Link will act like the monster he's disguised as and the other monsters will gather around you.

[@junoantaresofficial]

@@torgosaves427 I almost wonder if the lore for the monsters gathering around is that the monsters (to my knowledge) are all much bigger than link and they think he is a baby or young of their species.

[@lisi2315]

Remember the grumpy Zora weaponsmith you talked to when you first arrived in the domain? I'm pretty sure he will make you a new lightscale trident if yours breaks in exchange for certain items. Same for all of the other special weapons, you can get them all replaced. Loving the playthrough, it's so much fun! ❤️

[@liamnehren1054]

you do need materials to do so, I think it was the ceremonial spear that appears in the water under the domain each blood moon plus a diamond.

[@Anodreth]

I think it’s a Zora spear, diamond, and flint x5

[@KC-Doodle]

Ohooh oh, if you want to save them for the Ganon fight you can buy a house and store them there. I think that's where you got the Shika slate fixed in the first episode.

[@Pikrass]

A little tip about weapon attack scores: higher isn't necessarily better. Spears have lower attack but are much faster, so dps-wise they can in fact deal more damage than other, supposedly higher score weapons. If you only keep weapons depending on their score you'll end up with a full bag of two-handed swords and the like!

[@DaimonAnimations]

In Japanese is pronounce sidon because is a play of words of musical notes, the King is "Dore" "Mipha" "Sidon".

[@weird0.0]

I never thought of that!

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

*Do re fa, actually. But it's also probably based on dolphin, like a double entendre. The melodies of Mipha and Sidon's themes are based around the notes in their names (in fixed-do solfege), but that doesn't mean Poseidon doesn't have anything to do with it...

[@DaimonAnimations]

@@Nat_the_Chicken I don't know on the English side but there's an interview with Nintendo's sound designer (Hajime Wakai, sorry I misspelled his name) mentioned they wanted to give the Zora and the royal family to have musical world play with their names to connect them more which is coming from Nintendo themselves establishing this fact. In fact their theme songs use this exact notes so their names are played in their own themes. During the interview there's no mention of Poseidon or anything regarding with Sidon's name it could be just coincidence with the english pronoutiation and probably because the Zora has some sort of "Atlantean" design but I guess is just pure coincidence that western people might thing Sidon is for Poseidon but in reality it has a different purpose so far according to the interview with Nintendo.

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

@@DaimonAnimations Yes of course, I don't know why you'd expect me to question that they did the note name thing on purpose, it works out too well to be an accident in any case. I'm just saying they might have picked "si do" to compose the theme because it lines up with the Greek sea god's name, which is probably a loanword with similar pronunciation in Japanese, and a similar thing with "do re fa" since I imagine the Japanese for dolphin is probably close to "dorefino".

[@DaimonAnimations]

@@Nat_the_Chicken It is possible, they've used the Zonai with Mayan architectural design so its possible that is the case.

[@blulueberri]

idk if anyone has said it yet, but each major settlement where you fight a divine beast has a workshop that will repair/replace the special weapons for you! the zora working on the wapons that you spoke to when you first got there is the one for the trident, they're specifically for the weapons you recieve from defeating the divine beast quests though,,, i hope it helps a bit! there's also a quest in Hateno village where you get a house where you can store weapons! (last episode you asked about favorite quests as well, mine is by far the tarrey town one, it’s a lot of work but very much worth it) I'm loving seeing you play through botw, it is one of my absolute favorite games and one i come back to so frequently just to run around and visit my favorite spots so getting to see you play through and how you go about it is so wonderful! cant wait for the next part

Just so you know, the English voice acting in this game is actually also really good. And all I could think when you said "How did you do that?!" about Vah Ruta getting through the dam was "Secret TUNNEL!! Secret secret secret secret secret ttuuunnneeellll!"

@@Artemis25390 Sorting is a must for me! : ) And in case you didn't notice, you have to sort each category individually... So you can sort the swords by strongest to weakest or it groups them by similar types. And then shields and bows also can be sorted separately from the main item inventory.

Here's a few tips on what to look out for: - Anywhere you find a glowing pad, it means a puzzle must be solved to reveal a secret. - If you see a dragon, why not practice your aim? Don't worry, they won't be mad. - The giant labyrinths. Trust me, you'll recognize them when you see them. They have very nice loot at the end. - Lightning channel through any metal, whether you're wearing it or not, and water is a really good conductor. - The Magnesis and Stasis Runes make for excellent radars. - When in doubt: Burn it. Repeatedly.

Definitely hold onto the star fragment. It's used in certain upgrades and is by far the hardest resource to get.

36:05 I find the best thing to do when they shoot the lasers is to go close, target, and walk in a circle around them. If you’re close enough, the lasers can’t hit you. After they shoot 4, you can usually get two or three jump attacks in. Hope this helps!

I've never played a Zelda game myself, but I love your playthroughs and this series is so calming. I totally understand why this is many people's favorite game. I gotta say, when the part about Mipha came up, I full on cried. She loved Link and put so much work into this armor, then gave her life in the battle to protect everything she held dear. But even beyond her death, she is able to protect Link when he wears this special gear. Unconditional love doesn't ask for anything in return and lasts until after death. How beautiful.

[@Marco-Tusenartist]

Just check with magnesis when you are unsure in storms ( the pond in the beginning) Actually it is good to have it equipped and check periodically so that chests underwater gets highlighted

Remember or note the arrow types' prices in each town, they don't all sell them at the same prices. In later game it's very practical to know where to teleport to buy certain arrows for cheaper.

[@sunbbun]

With the special weapon you get after each divine beast, I like to put it up in 'Link's House' in Hateno Village! Whenever I replay this game, I like to get the side quest that's connected to Link's old house done before I try to tackle the divine beasts, just so the weapons don't take up inventory space. I like to hang them all up, that way I can admire them and they can be like art pieces to commemorate the Champions. :)

i didn’t even know zora’s domain had a goddess stone! you’re right, it’s incredibly subtle. loved this ep! i did the same thing with the lynel.. just snuck around and gathered the arrows. even after playing this game multiple times, i rarely engage with them. they’re so scary. ~ link’s awakening ~ made me laugh haha. sidon is a treasure 🥰 see you in the next ep!

When it comes to Zelda games, I always love seeing Zora's Domain. It's always so pretty and somehow comforting, and the music is amazing.

I have never seen that MUCH lightning isolated in one place... It's like an invisible switch cranked it up to 100. Anyway, I'm so happy you're playing this game again, BotW is in my top three favorite games. The only tip I want to give you is something you already figured out: selling meals to earn money. If you find yourself in need of rupees, go hunting! Cook all your meat at once and it'll sell for a good price. Also, this is a mid-late game tip only if you're interested: there are a few NPCs you'll find in the game that will pay you a lot of rupees in exchange for random stuff. With that in mind, there are three things that I collect and hoard as many of as possible for when I meet those NPCs-- Rushrooms (the purple ones that grow on the side of cliffs) Gourmet Raw Meat (hunted from large game) and Baked Apples (you can drop up to 10 apples at a time on the ground and cook them with a torch). And remember to have fun!

It depends on how invested you are, maybe? For me, BoTW was the first LoZ game that wasn't really just a game. It was a shared adventure. And when things start to feel real to you, rather than just following along with another person's story, then things can get more overwhelming. Especially when you have a distant memory of how deadly some of the things you see can be. Or maybe it's Gab just being "I react in cute and entertaining ways" Gab. :)

Tip for finding rocks for korok puzzles or just finding treasures/things in general, using the stasis rune is great for highlighting any objects you can interact with.

Hey Gabbers! Some tips for those Test of Strength shrines! 1. The first phase is the one where it spins and charges at you. That one is easy, just stand behind a pillar, let it wound itself, and then fight back. I also find that ice arrows are nice to freeze the guardian and do a little extra damage in between. This gets you to the second phase a little faster. 2. The second phase is the laser updraft. Use your paraglider to fly up, which you already have mastered! This part will 100% be successful with a heavy two-handed weapon, so be sure to have one on hand. They make a much bigger impact range when you ground pound and you're less likely to miss the guardian altogether. 3. You've already got the third phase down! It starts with a charge up for some laser hits, and if you're unable to do damage during this, just KEEP MOVING. Even if you're not sprinting, as long as you're moving directly sideways and not towards the lasers, they won't hit you. Of course, you can always use pillars to shield you. Then use a bow, or you can charge with a good fast weapon. This is the formula that I use every time and it hasn't failed me. Of course, if you find methods that work better for you, totally use them! This is just how it works from my point of view. Good luck!

Yayyy I have been anxiously waiting for another!!! I love this game and Robin's playthrough is my all time fave (but we'll see!)

[@whittneybrookshire3168]

I love this series so much. I bought BotW when it came out but could never fully get into it. This has sparked my enjoyment for it so much. Can't wait for more ❤ Also, fav quote from this episode was "Helloooo, I'm here to fix the weathaaa"

[@NunnuS98]

Love the link/sidon shipping as a fan of it myself 😂

[@SteffuxSweet]

Yaaaas when you release these it’s been helping me actually go play BoTW afterwards so ty! 💜

[@justjules8935]

So glad you are giving this game a second chance. Loved this one so much. Cannot wait to see you try the new one!

[@neo_b]

Can’t believe Gab is a Sidlink shipper! welcome to the club! also you can always craft the special champion weapons at npcs in the towns of each champion, for Mipha’s weapon just bring a Zora spear and a Diamond to the Blacksmith in Zora’s Domain and he’ll make you a new one also glad you’re enjoying the game a lot this time! cant wait for the next one!

At the heart of it, Link is as much the hero of the people as he is the hero of the Hyrule kingdom. Enjoy that warm fuzzy feeling, it's what makes Link's side questing worth it. I actually kept the trident and the rest of the champion's special weapons. Tempted as I was to use them, I held back and saved them till I could store them.

I think you can get the champion weapons remade, but I always chose to hang them up in my house in Hateno! Always felt like Link was then hanging them up as momentos and out of respect for his fallen friends. Which is both very sweet and sad, especially when you get the picture frame of all of you together as well.

[@hamshavathanaorzora6515]

Kinda sad that Mipha died while fulfilling her role as the Zora champion, she had so much hope... You will live on in the heart of our dear Link, Mipha and in mine as well

[@andrewhunt7328]

Mipha is adorable. Alongside Paya two of the cutest girls in this game. 🥰🥰

I've still not caught up with so much stuff on this channel; but I dropped the rest for a while to watch this series. I want to follow this one closely. (Although I still missed it live, damnit!) This game was certainly different from the other Zelda games. Playing this the first time for me seemed like it was so 'real'; _everything_ came together; sound, animation, story, characters, lore, open-world, progression, emotions, graphics, physics... and so on. There was no need to translate from "these are some pixels on a screen telling me something" to "I'm having an actual adventure in another world/time." But there are some subtle things that I'd not really noticed before. Link being asleep and waking up to it all with no memory is really clever. Just observe how Gab reacts to stuff in the 1st episode. It really is almost _exactly_ like Link would be; trying to work out what is going on and piece things together. Vague memories, but still uncertainty.. The almost game-breaking (but skippable) plot repeats and animations; they are a recurrent and unstoppable theme which ultimately get into your head like you've known them forever. The soundtrack we all know will be amazing. But here it also has to span the entire world, which is vast. And so it's a lot more subtle, I think. And when you _do_ spot a bit you know, it's "Woah! I know this!" Even stuff like the horse-riding, which is erratic at first and then gradually more co-operative is nuanced. The way everything weaves together is just incredible, imo. But above all else, I've "watched" (mostly half asleep) this series so far several times now, and one thing I'd not appreciated much first time around is how genuinely funny some of Gab's comments are getting! Just Gab being who she is? Or maybe me continuing to fall for the Gabberspell? Hehe. Go Gab! 🥰

[@katkooiman2850]

Hey Gab! There’s a little Zora kid running around with a quest. The song he is singing is a hint to find a shrine near the Domain. 🎉 love your playthrough!!

[@devils.advocate]

What a treat to watch! I hope you're enjoying your playthrough this time around.

[@Latinofire202]

That fall from the bridge is the best thing I've ever seen from any BotW playthrough lol. I feel your pain. Slide down a mountain or two in my playthrough as well

[@kailiefennell1602]

Gab, I only started watching your videos 6 months ago. But dang girl. Top 5 for sure! It's always a pleasure

[@blubfishy8793]

Helpful tip!! For those "Special Weapons," I do the side quest in Hateno Village to buy back Link's house. All you have to do is get 300 pieces of wood. Then I have the builders build a mount for those special weapons to hang. Instead of deleting pins just change them to stamps. I like to make mine the sword or bow :))

[@camillemoreau5976]

The shrine with the balls droping, it’s so nice to see how you did it differently than what I did🙈 I love this game!!!

[@Val_Emrys]

Agree. The shrines are under appreciated imo because of the many creative ways gamers have used to get the solutions. It is amazing to see other people’s approach and how much it varied from what I did.

[@whereswaldo2k8]

I definitely used stasis from the top, knocked over to the ramp on the side, and just pushed it down there...

[@akachibii]

I’m always looking forward to these 😭🫶🏻

[@faithebert3587]

Love the series so much!! I kept my special weapons and did the side quest where you can get a house in Hateno village. Then you have weapon slots to display them in your house as you upgrade it! Also worth doing is the side quest involving one of the construction guys at your house
