I don’t seem to value stamina as much as most people in these games. Especially in this one, where I can use ascend instead of climbing a good amount of the time. Would much rather have hearts so everything doesn’t one shot me lol.
I like it a lot more this game for gliding. I tend to travel to the sky islands and then glide over to locations on the ground from there.
Regarding the Depths Lightroot locations, I only just now realized that every lightroot is directly under beneath every above-ground shrines. The two maps are perfect parallels of each other
You can pause in the middle of combat and heal up, hearts are not THAT much of a commodity in these games.
Yeah, took me a few deaths to realize that I was going about the battle all wrong and treating it like the stone talus instead of using my fancy new abilities
Most of my weapons are in the 30s/40s, but I've got into the 70s -- the gloom spear sucks because it saps your health but their base strength is huge. But I've also found big boomerangs in the depths that have a base strength in the 20s. I imagine the Master Sword's base is in the 20s or above
So I apparently accidentally did a sequence break last night and now I have the Master Sword. Kind of wish I’d gotten to do the quest first now that I know there is one
Answer involves spoiling the location and obtain conditions so don’t open if you don’t wanna know yet: I found the dragon who gives you the sword before ever figuring out how to get into the Lost Woods. I actually tried to get in earlier but failed, and that apparently is what’s supposed to reveal the location. But apparently with +5 stamina you can pull the sword without ever triggering the quest
There are three ways to get the master sword, from longest to shortest: 1. Do the dragon’s tears quest. I think this is the best and most fulfilling one and would recommend it, it’s honestly very easy to just skydive and look for the filled-up tear from the sky 2. Talk to the Great Deku Tree 3. Randomly come across the light dragon and land on its head I’m guessing they did #3 lol
It feels like might actually be a no-one-shot rule in the game -- I can't recall a time I've been at full hearts and died immediately. And yesterday when fighting a particularly tough boss enemy, I kept getting hit while at full hearts and having all but 1/4 of a heart left. Could be wrong but I thought it seemed awfully convenient that I seemingly had just the right amount of hearts for that fight
I've definitely been oneshotted several times by bokoblins and taluses, but I had probably 5 hearts at the time?
Did anyone else suck at the shield parrying training shrine? I'm so bad at the timing. I died like 5 or 6 times lmao
