History of the Zora, Part One
The Eternal Zora's Domain
As told by King Dorephan

The rains have blessed Lanayru since ancient times with an abundance of pure, clean water. Seeking a bounty of such water, the Zora gathered there. Thus, as the legends go, the domain was born 10,000 years ago. The land was also rich in ore, and so a unique form of stone masonry was developed to create our new home. The domain is one giant sculpture, a feat of architecture that has drawn admirers from the world over. Our great domain will ever stand as a hallmark of the esteemed artists who made it, an eternal symbol of Zora pride.

History of the Zora, Part Two
A Reservoir of Hope
As told by King Dorephan

Once every 10 years, the Lanayru region experiences unusually heavy rainfall. The Zora River flooded every time. The tides damaged not only our domain but our people, washing away poor souls and causing great suffering and disarray. The Zora king of that time, after seeking aide from the king of Hyrule, rode out to see what could be done. By joining the architectural genius of the Zora and Hyrule's technological prowess, East Reservoir Lake was swiftly built. Thanks to this fruitful partnership, Hyrule was no longer plagued by these devastating floods. In gratitude, the Zora king promised the king of Hyrule to manage the reservoir level to protect all of Hyrule from floods. each Zora king since has kept that oat, spanning 10,000 years. That is why the reservoir signifies our bond with Hyrule.

History of the Zora, Part Three
Miracle of the White Scale
As told by King Dorephan

Our scholars say that in the distant past, Zora's Domain had a king with no special talent for the art of war. What he lacked in skill with a blade, he made up for in love for his people, and especially love for his queen. One day, news reached the king of a horde of monsters gathering in the Zodobon Highlands. The king steeled himself for war to protect his people, but the queen knew how ill suited for the task he was. Worried for his life, she wove one of her own scales into his armor, hoping that her love would protect him in battle. It seemed for a time that the tide of battle favored the Zora and that all would make it safely home. But the cunning Lizalfos general saw an opening and seized it, driving the king's forces into a corner. Just when the general's sword was ready to crash down upon the king, a miracle took place. An errant sunbeam reflected from the scale on his armor blinded the Lizalfos, stopping the deathblow from falling. This was the chance the king needed to rally his forces and turn the tide, taking down the general and securing victory. This came to be known as the Miracle of the White Scale, a scale that only female Zora possess. It was this miracle that began the tradition of Zora princesses crafting armor for their future husbands.

History of the Zora, Part Four
The Lightscale Trident
As told by King Dorephan

The queen and I were blessed with a daughter as lovely as a jewel. We named our princess...Mipha. To celebrate her birth, the smithy Dento presented Mipha with a gift: a might spear called the Lightscale Trident. Mipha grew into a bright girl and soon reached the age of receiving lessons from the royal family's order of knights. The whole of the royal guard adored her, especially Sergeant Seggin, who loved her as if she were his own kin. Under Seggin's instruction, Mipha honed her skill, and her radiance grew along with her skill with the Lightscale Trident. As a Champion, Mipha made her people proud. However, once the Great Calamity struck, she was never to return. All of Zora's Domain fell into misery. The merest thought of the princess was enough to overcome anyone with tears. As a way of offering her soul repose, they tried to send the Lightscale Trident drifting down the Zora River. But when they did, the trident began to glow, and Mipha's voice rang loud and clear for all Zora to hear:

"The Lightscale Trident and I are one... Abandon your grief and know joy once again. Do not cry...just remember."

And so, keeping to her request, on the day of the Great Calamity...the day that Mipha passed from this world...the Zora venerate the Lightscale Trident and remember their brave princess.

Such is the origin of the Champion Festival.

History of the Zora, Part Five
The Sage Princess Ruto
As told by King Dorephan

Long, long ago... In a past more distant that even the Great Calamity or the creation of the Divine Beast Vah Ruta... There was a Zora princess named Ruto. We know that she was an attendant to the Zora patron deity and that she was a fair and lively girl, beloved to all. Around that same time, an evil man with designs on ruling the world appeared, bringing disaster upon Zora's Domain. It is said that Ruto then awoke as a sage, facing this foe alongside the princess of Hyrule and the hero of legend. Her achievements are remembered not only by the Zora, they are also forever etched into the history of Hyrule. The Divine Beast Vah Ruta, built ages later to face off against Calamity Ganon, was named in honor of Ruto. That the Zora princess—my sweet daughter Mipha—was chosen to pilot Ruta is surely the work of fate.

History of the Zora, Part Six
Divine Beast Vah Ruta
As told by King Dorephan

When the Divine Beast Vah Ruta was first discovered at Zora's Domain, my daughter Mipha hurried to see it. Those present that day say they saw an unusual sparkle of excitement in Mipha's normally calm eyes as she beheld Ruta. The princess spoke of the Divine Best as she would a friend and was overjoyed when she was chosen to pilot Ruta. I thought nothing of it at the time, but given the events that followed, I now regret allowing this to happen. I have spent many long years consumed by guilt. My dearest wish is that her soul will know peace. I pray for it every day.

There was a time when the people of the land were threatened by the dread beast Lynel who lived on the Ploymus Mountain. But one Hylean drove the beast back and restored peace to the domain. The Zora helm worn in this fight is now north of here in the ruins near Toto Lake. It rests there to honor the deeds of the hero Link.

History of the Zora, Addendum 1
King Dorephan Stands His Ground

Around 100 years after the King Dorephan ascended to the throne, a stray Guardian crossed Upland Zorana into our domain. The Guardian seemed unstoppable. Our best soldiers' spears barely left a scratch on its metal hull. It was then that our King Dorephan, without a thought for his own safety, came out to face the Guardian himself. With supernatural strength, he lifted the Guardian and hurled it into a ravine. The impact of the fall left the Guardian in pieces, and it was never to trouble another Zora ever again. The citizens celebrated the king's valor. From then on, their trust and respect for him grew beyond compare. You can still see the scar he eared that day on his forehead—a token of his triumph.

History of Zora, Addendum 2
Prince Sidon's Great Escape

There was once a giant Octorok in Hateno Bay, large as a mountain, which terrorized the village's fishers. Hearing of their distress, Prince Sidon went forth to personally eliminate the offending Octorok. But this Octorok was a tricky beast. After the prince dodged one of the stones it spat, it inhaled him whole. Such had been the fate of many strong warriors who went to slay the Octorok. Not one had come back alive. Just as it seemed Prince Sidon would be counted among them, the giant Octorok twisted in pain. The tip of a silverscale spear pierced the Octorok's stomach from within, revealing itself as the source of the beast's agony. Incredibly, Prince Sidon had fought his way out by stabbing his spear over and over into the monster's stomach. Unable to bear the pain, the Octorok coughed up the prince and scrambled to escape. Ever since, the fishers of Hateno Bay have passed down this heroic tale: The Prince Who Slew the Fell Octorok

Memoir of a Gifted Stonemason

What an honor it was to receive a personal request from King Dorephan to craft a historical stone monument! I did not realize how much content he'd given me, though... It certainly exceeded the line limits of a single monument. I suppose I could have just shortened the text, but it felt wrong to tamper with our great king's words. Thankfully, I was able to split it all between seven monuments to ensure that every word was preserved. I have always prided myself on my ability to think outside the box. I am so very adaptable! And humble as well. While I was at it, I thought...why not add two of my own? And so I created one for King Dorephan and one for Prince Sidon. True, this is outside the scope of my commission... But I believe their triumphs deserve as much! But why stop at that... Why indeed! My achievement surely deserves remembrance too. That is how a commission of one became 10. Of course, having increased the number of monuments, I had to find places for them all... That proved difficult. Still, it is worth it! So long as I remember to sign these monuments, my name will be remembered forever. As it should be.

The Zora are the ones that wrote about it. Nobody else seems to have it mentioned. It might even just be a local thing. Best outcome would be for others to migrate to Zora's domain for the festival, which would play into Kass showing up.

>Enough to make a replay worth it?
I've had a lot of fun with it personally. My impression of the hard mode has grown after playing it for myself. It actually makes a relatively substantial difference.

But BotW by itself has proven to be much more replayable than I had first imagined. It's been really fun to re-apply all that I've learned over the course of my first playthrough. And trying new solutions for Shrines and other challenges. As well as simply plotting my paths through the world now that I am much more familiar with the Hyrule of BotW itself.

And replaying it on hard mode is something I feel like have made it even more enjoyable. Trying to use my experience to do things more efficiently than before, in spite of the higher difficulty. I am really loving it.
I also think those flying platforms with the sky octoroks honestly make the whole platforming segments in between high altitude areas and whatnot a lot more enjoyable in general. They might look a bit silly at times, but in general I'd say they contribute gameplay wise. It's fun trying to reach them and it's fun trying to make use of them or even move them. Of course this is in addition to there being more enemies in the world map in general now compared to before. Which is fun.

>>182293498
But above all I was underestimating the regenerating health. Some might not be that fond of the idea in general but I really do feel like it's a magnificent addition to the game and I can't help but wonder what I would think of the game had regenerating health been in the game from the beginning.

BotW by nature is a game that offers numerous solutions to any hurdle. And finding and coming up with these solutions is part of the game. But that also means that are countless of ways to be a real cheap bastard too. And honestly, there isn't exactly anything wrong with that. Finding a solution that works and let's you come out on top is great fun. That said, the regenerating health doesn't so much let you take pot shots at enemies, then taking it slow for another opportunity for a cheap pot shot. The regenerating health means that if you're fighting an enemy you really have to focus on the enemy until the fight is over. And that really makes fighting feel much more like fighting and I don't really mind that. It really makes fighting feel much more intense. And it also means that if you mess up, leaving your enemy free, you'll get punished for it and the enemy will recover health. And then that's on you, because of your short comings. It puts pressure on you and makes fights both more intense and more difficult.

>>182293419
Link to the video?

>>182293946
I am not really sure what to think about the DLC costumes though. On one hand I really love the look of them and I've been using them a ton. But on the other hand I kind of feel like they're too easy to get access to relative to what they do. Like, you could go all the corners of the world and gather the pieces for the Barbarian set. Or you could get the Phantom set within the first hour of the game off from the plateau. Likewise with Tingle's outfit, you could find the fairies and upgrade your armour, or you could just get the Tingle outfit right away.
Since this was my second playthrough and on hardmode I honestly didn't care much and it was actually pretty neat to benefit from them. But if it really was my first playthrough of the game I really doubt I would liked it.

All in all though. I've had great fun with the DLC. But then again, I was planning on replaying BotW regardless and likely would have enjoyed that too. So that's where I am coming from. But I really do think the DLC has enhanced my experience.
The Master Trials were cool too. Though some floors truly are cheap.

You'd want dragon horns and a critical success for cooking if you want a long duration.

That said. For the Master Trials. It might be a bit silly. But if you're having trouble with the Master Trials. Try bombing down each and every tree you come across in order to harvest all their wood and the occasional acorn.
And then when you get to resting levels where you can cook. And then you simply throw the wood into the pan one by one, one by one. For burnt rock hard food. Again and again until you've maxed out your inventory.

It might be a tad tedious. And while the "food" only gives you a quarter heart each. With all the wood you gather it's easily an extra 10-20+ hearts for each time you do it.
It helped me at the very least to cover for my foolish mistakes.

All in all though. The Master Trials were actually really interesting. Though they weren't exactly the Eventide Island I was expecting. And was much more ruthless.

>>182294380
Is fire traumatizing?

>>182295473

>>182295457

>>182295942
Personally I couldn't help but get a chuckle out of the idea of Link being so desperate that he'd literally chomp down on wood to survive.

I just imagine Link spending about a week in the trials and being so low on food that he actually starts to throw chunks of wood into the pan.
It's not easy being the hero.

>>182295942
Yes

>>182296215
Doing stuff like that usually takes me out of the game. The same way cooking three crabs and a snail gave me steamed fish.
The trials weren't that bad for me though. Once they started giving me hearty food it was a cakewalk so long as I actually remembered to eat it

>>182296585
The trials are a bitch on hard mode what with the regenerating health. I mean, it's far from impossible. And I could probably complete the trial multiple times in a row now that I have actually familiarized myself with the levels and aren't shocked or surprised like the first time I did it.
But hard mode sure made it unforgiving.

>>182296847
I would imagine.
I'm still debating a hard mode playthrough or a third normal mode. The way it sounds only the starting portion of the game is particularly difficult and the for the rest maybe only boss fights take a little bit more thought to accomplish

For the Master Trials. In terms of difficulty.
Beginning Trials > Middle Trials > Final Trials

>>182297080
The trials were fun on the first playthrough. The dark rooms especially even though they were piss easy. Do the trials become immediately available upon drawing the Mister Sword?

>that bowling game that's literally free money
What were they thinking?

>>182297728
One talus gives you something like 200 rupees and you run into at least three just on the way from the plateau to Hebra, more like 5 if you go to Kakariko first. How much does snowling net you for each strike?

>>182297925
300. And getting strikes is really easy once you figure out where to aim.

>>182297068
Hard mode still feels relevant even later I'd say. But you certainly rise to get your own bearings, much like normally in the late game.
But the way how you can't simply ignore damaged enemies unless you want them to regenerate really does stick with you. I'd argue it matters. And I kind of like it myself.

But really. If you've already played I'd more than recommend trying it if you're planning on replaying the game anyway. There are new enemies where there were none before. There are new platforms with new treasure and boxes. It's kind of a face lift that keeps replaying the same areas feel a bit fresher.

The way the enemies are ranked up kind of stops feeling all that intimidating after a time though. Admittedly. That said, fighting a whole legion of silver enemies in the areas where they spawn, or a gold enemy. Does force you to fight effectively unless you want to lose out even if you manage to best the enemies. A few times I can admit that it might have been a tiny bit tedious. But in general it more or less forced me to fight smarter and think of more ways to fight in general that I hadn't considered or utilized much before. And whenever I did triumph over an intimidating group of enemies in a smart way like that it really did end up satisfying.
And I also feel like it's well worth mentioning how much more relevant I feel like stealth is. Not just for avoiding enemies. But in general in order to deal with the tougher ones more effectively. Do it well and you can not just take out one enemy, but several or hopefully even all of them. And stealth by itself has been made tougher in how the enemies actually spot you faster and more easily. Which is actually well worth mentioning and something else I enjoy about the hard mode. Enemies are more aware of you and more on you in general. Increasing the feeling of their presence throughout the world in general.

Do whatever you want in the end. But I'd say it's well worth a try to form your own opinion.

>>182285728
how does Hyrule Historia think this game comes in the child timeline? It's ripped straight out of A Link to the Fucking Past.

>>182297637
You have to leave the area. Or well, enter or exit the "world" rather.
Meaning you have to fast travel or enter a shrine / beast and then load back into the world again. And then you have access to the master trials immediately after pulling out the master sword.

Personally I jumped straight into the master mode upon downloading the DLC. After loading up my old save to watch my path with the hero path thing at the very least.
I gathered the DLC costumes. Maxed out my stamina. Cleared two divine beasts. And then I finally got myself to 13 hearts again.
I could have always done the boons statue in order to respec back and forth. But I wanted full stamina and exactly 13 hearts for my trials and that's what I did. I don't regret it. Level 10 was bullshit though but I learned to get past it.

>>182297637
>The dark rooms especially even though they were piss easy.
I got fucked by the Hinox. I was moving backwards and aiming for its eye, only walk backwards striaght into a building. And then I got one shotted.
The room with the Wizrobe and all the Bokoblins was brutal too. There was so many enemies and so many walls and so little light. That escaping from and or hiding from the enemies. Let alone trying to take them out one by one was really hard. I had to use more equipment than I desired on that level, and I also took a lot more damage than I had hoped.

Of course, the hard mode made it a lot more difficult. I guess the numbers wouldn't have meant that much if they were one rank lower.
No matter the difficulty, the dark rooms were no doubt the scariest of the entire trial I feel like.

>>182298539
I did it with max hearts on regular mode and I barely made it past the stalhorse level every time I entered it, I don't want to think about how that would go without full health.
The stalnox was always funny though, by the time I killed it it had torn off every rib, its jaw and its arm to toss at me because all I could do was smack it with shitty weapons at shoot arrows at it

>>182299096
I was just really glad whenever I got to fight the skeletons over other enemies. Because aside from the Stalnox, you can kill of them with just two bombs. Or a couple of hits using their very own arms.
Meaning that I could quickly dispatch of them without having use my own equipment or even having to run from them across the entire level if I could just make them explode in front me instead.

The Stalnox fight was fun though. Chasing that eye all over the place while the main body regenerated health was interesting. Though I never let it recover enough health to escape critical health, so I managed to pop that eye right back out again every time even so.

>>182299046
It was great for me because I wanted to see more of the light mechanics played and they delivered.

>>182299516
the body's health is different from the eye's? How does a stalnox work? Is there a way to insta-kill it like regular stals?
I filled my inventory with stal arms so I was just running around breaking stuff against its legs while considering trying to drop rusty weapons and catch it in a lightning bolt

They shouldn't have made the difficulty of the trial levels different between regular and hard mode. Instead they should have added more levels.

Lizalfos are hard to fight. Especially unarmed.
When I did the trials I no joke gave unarmed lizalfos weapons just so that I'd be able to fight them easier.

Moblins might deal more damage and have much more health. But lizalfos are faster. If you run they've got ranged attacks. And when they don't have any weapons do that attack where they rush in and do a wide tail swipe.

>>182300585
Lizals are annoyed just because they'll keep jumping backwards and you'll have to run them down

>>182300553
>They shouldn't have made the difficulty of the trial levels different between regular and hard mode.

It would be really weird if enemies all of a sudden stopped regenerating health just because you entered the trials. And if they still regenerate health, they might as well still rank up all the enemies.

Or do you mean that the trials should be like hard mode in in regular mode?
Honestly, I am not so sure about that. It can honestly be pretty brutal on hard mode and I am not sure how many people of the casual market would make it even with preparation. And I am not really sure I feel like that'd be right. The game is for them too.

There's one fuck in Tarrey Town who insults your clothes and asks you if you want to do something for money. What was his quest? I never did it because I doubted it involved kicking him into the lake.

What was that platoon of guardians doing there anyway? It was too far from the base to be part of the assault on Akkala Citadel but that's the only reason I can think of for them to be around.

I'm replaying BOTW right now (after managing to snag a switch in Montana) and I'm shocked at how emotional this feels. I really love these characters, even though you barely interact with them at all.

I hope the champion DLC is good. I really want more story, even if the voice acting is mediocre at best.

>>182305680
Still at it?
Right away stasis the lizalfos in the middle and shoot it once in the face. Should be enough to kill it.
Then walk back to the beginning where you spawn and make three ice blocks in the water right next to eachother. They'll come in handy later.
Now sneak up one of the silver lizalfos. Sneak attack it, and hope that it doesn't fall into the water. Right after sneak attacking it, run around it and place yourself on the opposite end from where you attacked and crouch down. If successful, the lizalfos will turn around without noticing you, and you'll be able to sneak attack it once more.

Repeat until you kill them. However. If they fall into the water, or if they notice you for whatever the reason. Run away. Run away and skedaddle. Run back across the bridge and jump onto the ice pillars you made from before. Circle around the ice pillars so that you're at the opposite end from the lizalfos. And then just hold still as to not to drain your stamina. And just hide until the lizalfos move back into place. Eventually they'll return to where they were. And even if they don't face outwards right away, they'll eventually reposition and turn outwards again since that's their default position.
And when that's done, you can sneak back up on them and sneak attack again. And sneak attacks do well enough damage that they won't recover all of their health. Especially if you get multiple sneak attacks in a row.

Alternatively. You can climb up high, and do slowmotion shots in the face over and over again until you fall into the water. You'll take damage, but also be teleported right back from where you jumped from. It'll cost you health, bow durability, and arrows. But continuous headshots from this method should prove efficient enough.

That's all the advice I can really give though. I tried a lot of things. Trying to fight them conventionally when one alerts the other, and when every other knockdown knocks them down into the water. Is just awful.

This is why I always use Stasis+ on them before going for the eye shot. I can't line up my shot for shit when they're walking towards me.

>>182279632
Any decent discussion of master mode going on, when I get the game I'm not sure if I should start on master mode or not, all the reviews seem to just list what I already know, new enemy placement, harder enemy's ect, but I see no real discussion on if it's worth playing over the normal game.

>>182337106
Because it's a different experience.

>>182337106
I'd go for it personally. I don't think it really changes enough of the base game to make it worth doing a second playthrough just for Master Mode.

>>182337106
I think it's fairly subjective. You already know what Master Mode offers you - either give it a shot or try and decide whether you're interested in it.

Personally I don't enjoy Breath of the Wild overly for its combat or challenge, and Master Mode isn't particularly difficult for me but simply tedious. I don't get anything out of it, but that might not be the same for you. Some people find the new experience fresh, especially if they were gearing up for a second run through the game anyway.

>>182337198
Ta, I wish there was a decent resource just for hating games on how well they handle difficulty modes, since you get some where it's really the best way to play the game, other where it just makes the game into a grind in places, RPG's are really bad for this and other were it's flat out broken in places and was clearly not fully tested.

>>182337553
I remember Metroid Prime doing hard mode just right, but indeed, in most games, it just means that enemies have more HP and deals more damage.

>This is why I always use Stasis+ on them before going for the eye shot.
B-but I did. Black hinoxes don't Stasis for long. The wall fucked up my aim so I didn't get my shot off in time before the Stasis ended. And with the stasis gone and the Hinox close to me I figured I'd run to the side to escape instead, but apparently I jumped onto the wall instead and by then it was already too late.

>>182337553
I mean something like Watch_Dogs 2 is best played on it's hardest setting for most of the game since otherwise the games a cake walk and you can ignore most of the more fun ways to play, but then there's one mission that's pretty much an on rails shooter, which is flat out broken, beating it is down to luck due to random spawns and the fact that it's one of the few parts of the game were you must take a ton of hits.

>>182337678
Oh, new Setz?

>>182337625
Shooters can be really bad, so many of them have no fun way to play without getting hit so hard becomes a game of playing in the dullest way possible.

Why do some people claim that you can't get one-shotted while at full health in this game?
It has happened to me all the time. What are they even basing their claims on?

I can only assume they haven't even played the game.

>>182337813
Same with RPG and hack'n' slash.

Only STALKER and Metroid Prime do it right.

>>182299046
>>182337101
>>182337678
Hot top for Hinoxes - There's no need to use Stasis. Just bait them into an attack, sprint out of it then go for the shot. It's incredibly easy once you get the hang of it and you can just trap them in loops.

>>182339767
>Just bait them into an attack, sprint out of it then go for the shot.
That's really dangerous in pitch black darkness though. It's not as if I can't hit them without stasis otherwise though.

>>182338276
Most Plat games do it well, same for most of Capcom's.
Even NT got it right with DmC.
First set of difficulties are alike but the hardest is the ideal mode, then beating the game unlocks modes that largely remix the game while making it harder.

Probably not the best idea to put yourself in harms way like that in the trials.

>>182340423
>>182341979
I guess it depends how familiar you are with the tactic. I used it all throughout the game, so doing it in the trial wasn't an issue for me.

>>182342283
Meant to add on, you can do it in such a way that the Hinox never actually moves, negating the need to worry about your positioning in the dark

>>182338276
What did Prime do?

>>182342346
>negating the need to worry about your positioning in the dark
That's assuming you even know the layout to begin with. There are barrels, boxes, and broken walls all over the place.

>>182342786
If you run up to the Hinox in a straight line, you know there's nothing behind you. From there, as I said the Hinox will never move from its position, it'll just be locked in a loop of attack animations and knockdown animations from being hit in the eye. Trust me, it's a lot easier than you're making it out to be.

>>182343026
And that probably would have been fine, if I had gone for the Hinox at first. And not the Hinox heading towards me as I was trying to scout the area and looking for treasure.

It's not as if I think Hinoxes are hard or anything. I don't. But they still hit hard and in a less than ideal situation you could find yourself duped if you mess up. That's all.

Just ordered this game.

Should I start on Master Mode or not? I watched a fair bit of a playthrough on youtube and silver enemies already seem to take forever to kill. Master Mode simply bumps all enemies up a tier, right? Doesn't that mean that fights take way longer, but aren't inherently more difficult, because with 88 armor nothing besides Lynels seems to be able to hit Link for respectable damage anyway? I like a challenge, but fights just taking longer isn't really what I'm looking for.

I'm also concerned with the difficulty curve on Master Mode. With the Plateau being full of blue enemies the very start of the game seems to be the most difficult part in Master Mode, because Link has no armor and no decent weapons yet.

Thoughts?

>>182344830
The durability system is balanced around normal mode. You're going to be frustrated with the plateau if you start on master mode

>>182344830
depends how good you are at these style games really.
another wrinkle of the combat system on master mode is enemies regenerating health, so that certainly changes the game when you have shitty weapons; it can be hard to hurt multiple enemies before they heal themselves in those cases

of course you can just avoid enemies until you have armour and weapons, but that's no fun

It's not just that they've got more HP making the fights take longer, and them dealing more damage making the fights more dangerous.

In Master Mode you actually need to know how to fight effectively. The regenerating enemy health is key. But there are actually more enemies in general in the overworld. Quite a few more actually. It's well worth mentioning.
But the regenerating health means that if you don't know how to keep up a fight until it's completed, you won't win the fight and persisting to fight in spite of that can't spell anything other than doom. It's actually pretty intense.

If you don't know how to take down silver enemies quickly of effectively you'll have a really hard time. So it really puts your skills to the test.
And for what it's worth. Enemies spot you a lot more easily. Making stealth more intense too, as well the act of fleeing from enemies.

Truth be told. I have been loving Master Mode. A lot more so than I initially expected. I had my worries that it would mostly be reduced to a boorish slog by the end of it. But after having played the majority of the game, including the Master Trials, in Master Mode. I'll have to say that I never really felt much of that. And have mostly just been enjoying it over the regular mode.

But should you start with Master Mode? I don't know. Ideally I feel like one should refrain from all the EX-gear/quests as well as Master Mode for the first run. The DLC gear and Master Mode in general feels like such an NG+ thing that I kind of feel like it would be a disservice to play it without being familiar with the original for how it makes things different. But I can't deny how I personally prefer Master Mode. The EX-gear/quests kind of feel like cheats for a first playthrough but that might just be me.

Today, I encountered my first Golden Bokoblin.
He had a normal Boko Bat as a weapon, and I had a total of 24 defense with 10 hearts. I took 8 hearts of damage in a single hit.
I don't know if this was true for the silver variants since I was pretty damn good equipped once they showed up on my normal playthrought, but I can assure you that golden enemies do definitely more damage with shitty weapons. I shouldn't have taken even a heart of damage.
They're also more aggressive and actually do additional attacks after their normal combo. They usually had a downtime afterward. This is throwing me off.

tl;dr:
It's not only the health that increases. They're more aggressive, do more damage, and more aware of the surroundings (not so easy to back-attack).

I wonder if people will ever try to speed run the master trials specifically.
But I guess the problem would be to agree on how to start the trials. How many hearts, how much stamina. If pre-trial buffs are ok or not etc.

I just started the Sword Trial yesterday, but as soon as I finished the very first level, I had to leave to do some stuff.

You only get one-shot on Master Mode.
On normal mode you survive with 1/4 of a heart.

Just started my first playthrough of this, I'm at the Great Fairy Fountain near Kakariko.

What are the best ways to get rupees? Also is there any way to store weapons somewhere? Shit breaks so fast

Aw man, I was doing so well.
It sucks to get one shot before you can even get a bearing on what's going on this floor.

>>182377661
Sell the shit you find.
You can store three bows, three weapons, and three shields once you buy a house.
Otherwise, you'll get used to throwing weapons away soon enough.

That's not the case though.

>>182379118
I tried to do the thing I do with the stalhorses where I bomb them then steal one to help me pick off the rest, but the lynel got me.
I forgot it had a spread shot so he'd catch me running.
Or that I'd still die with mostly full health.

>>182378767
My advice. Don't fight a single Lynel. Their equipment aren't worth the trouble and the equipment you'll have spend to deal with them given the circumstances of the trial.
Blast them into oblivion with ancient arrows. Each and every one.

For as long as you're able to handle gold enemies effectively without spending your ancient arrows, you should do fine.

>>182379571
I was wondering if those would show up.
Maybe I should hold onto a fairy just in case.
I cook them since the 10 hearts seem more useful than 5

>>182379458
I managed to ancient arrow the Lynel as it charged, but the only way I could kill the horse bokos was by getting trampled and then tanking a laser shot while they were crowded around me and I was ragdolling so it wouldn't damage me. A bit lucky but it worked

>>182377661
You should be good on weapons not breaking as soon as you start finding reliable sources of metal weapons. Or better yet, elemental weapons.
As for money? Not really sure what'd be the best way on the east side of the map at that point in the game. Personally I headed west before even visiting Kakariko. And I've got plenty of tips for easy money there, but yeah.

If you cut grass around the Necluda regions or most parts of Hyrule really. At the very least. You should find crickets. Make an elixir using 3 Crickets and 2 Bokoblin guts or something and it should net you over 100 rupees a piece at the very least. It's not much but it's something. And considering how easy crickets are to obtain it's worth considering. I think.

>>182379816
Cooked fairies do technically give you more hearts. But I think it's wise to consider fairies as insurance against fuck ups and one-shots.
It's easy to heal up to full health after being resurrected by a fairy. It's less easy to heal up after a game over, even if you had full health just prior.

If you're in need of an extra health boost though. I'd recommend cooking wood. Picture related. It actually helps a lot. And there is plenty of it in the trials too.

>>182379352
It kind of seems like enemy attacks are just grouped into can kill and can't kill.
Some attacks will leave you with quarter heart but big ones like guardian beams can just kill you.

Arrows. Silver Lizalfos and Moblins. Physics like having things fall on you or you falling for fall damage. Stone Taluses, Hinoxes, Lynels obviously, and Guardians as mentioned. Can all kill you in one hit from full health.
Don't know about Bokoblins. But are they really that different?

>>182381191
Technically.
In reality what they do is dance around the dish sprinkling fairy dust on your cooking, adding 10 hearts to its restore

I think the tunic of the wild is the best tunic ingame. Why is the set bonus so shit?

I swear the beginning trials are the hardest part

>>182388178
their title is misleading: they are not BEGINNER trials. they mimic the beginning of the game: you only have shit weapons to face enemies, and in master mode the enemies are harder as is. i'm hoping middle trials go a little more smoothly

>>182388393
The middle trials mimic the middle of the game, where you try to set a bomb but it flies away.

>>182389635
I was scared that it was going to spit my stuff straight into the lava. So I didn't even try. But it looks like there is a fairly good chance to pick it up before it slides down so perhaps I should have tried after all.

I just killed it as quickly as I could to avoid trouble.

>>182389635
I lost a few things in the lava during that part.

Amphibians don't normally have gills as adults.

After 100% this game, and sitting a thinking about it...I think it falls comfortably as my third favorite Zelda. Behind MM and OoT.

Considering how drastically Aonuma reacts to criticism of the previous game I'd say that the next game will be much smaller (and denser) than BotW and will take significantly less dev time

He seems to be listening to what the fans want now in Zelda. I heard that he was using the 2nd DLC to flesh out the Champions to address complaints both their lack of screen time and development.

Granted people still complain, but at least it shows he cares. The next game probably hasn't even really been thought of to any significant degree though.

You learn how to parry. Is my best advice. And stay clear away from the thunder orbs and be aware of how they bounce around and can hit you in the back even if you dodge them once.

I don't know what equipment you've got though. If you're in need of good weapons, picture related right northwest of the Gerudo Tower has just what you need though. If you weren't aware already.

If you want to be extra badass. Go to Hateno and grab the camera rune. And take your selfie with the Thunderblight.

>>182408315
Free flight is really empowering.

It really is. I have stated it before. The difficulty curve is kind of inverted.
The final trials still manage to come across pretty intense at the very least. Though you are much better equipped.

It's very generous to give you a set of elemental weapons early on before you begin to face elemental enemies.

>>182409290
Yeah that's pretty much what makes it a cakewalk in comparison.
The final trials are much harder. But at the very least you actually get real weapons and not just twigs and boko crafts like in the beginning trials.

For a future release or whatever comes next would you want a complex Ganondorf as the villain, or are you fine with just "I want to kill you and rule the world and control everything but mostly I want to kill you." Wind Waker's speech was good, I liked it a lot but we haven't seen him be anywhere close to sympathetic since

>>182415140
Complex Ganon would be interesting, I guess, but they've definitely been going with him being the ultimate evil as of late instead of humanizing him

Fuck that Lizalfos room on Master Mode. Honestly.
I don't mind the idea behind that but god fucking dammit, would it have been that hard to give us a bit of a bigger platform? Even when only one of those silver guys is left and I finally get him down he jumps back into the fucking water.

>>182422046
What's the best strategy for this room?

Anyone have it down to a science yet?

>>182422193
The method mentioned above works just fine. I did beat the beginner trials right now, I was simply letting out my frustration with the previous post.

Shoot the one in the center instantly.
Stunlock kill a silver one by alternating thunder rod and another weapon.
1 vs. 1 the remaining one.

And that last 1 vs. 1 is a major pain. I was lucky that I kept my 3+ attack food and did the most using bombs in the previous rooms so I had ~90 arrows and simply used headshots and statis once he fell into the water to kill it.

Super annoying.

>>182387012
yeah, that master sword mastery is just useless though

>>182415140
TP Ganondorf lost a bit of his complexity when they cut most of his dying speech. He demonstrated that he knows about the cycle and I gathered that the way the game played out was his attempt to find a loophole for it.

>>182410257
Yeah, I had to redo the first mission several time to figure I'm not supposed to take all the forts instantly (or it locks the north part).

On the outside, it looks like "no". However, the pig is still his spirit animal. Animal forms like the pig appear to be more closely bound to the mind than to the soul. TP Link had a different spirit animal compared to ALttP Link. I say that parts of his mind have to remain.

I just threw a bomb, switched to other bomb and they all died.
Then another group saw me and I did the exact same thing. Then there were a couple in the corner of the room that never saw me. So I few up to them and did the same thing.

Didn't need to use any equipment and did not take any damage.
After all the other intimidating crap I had to fight in the trials up until that point it was really nice to face off against skeletons, who no matter their weapons or whatnot can still go down in a mere two hits from whatever. In comparison to the silvers from the previous floors it was the opposite of scary.

>>182415140
I am fine with them dropping Ganondorf altogether. But the relentless Ocarina of Time dick riding will never allow for that.
I like Ganon as a concept though. It's a good opposing force and pig Ganon is good monster to act as a final villain but I wouldn't even consider that necessary but it would be cool to see the classic pig Ganon in 3D at least once but I kind of doubt it would ever happen in a serious game.

I really, really wished the Old Man in the beginning would have been Ganondorf, helping you eventually take him down; the last boss being your best friend, reluctantly. Would have been a fantastic twist and ending, I loved the theorising before the game released.

As it is though, he seems to now just be a mindless force of nature.
