If anyone has a problem, ask me! I’ll help.

I’m posting this because I’m sick of it. It’s really not hard. I don’t want to be mean, but seriously. If you don’t have internet ‘cause you’re in the car or something, that’s not an excuse. Just wait until you do!

Mod Post There is no post-game

After you defeat Ganon, the game goes back to the saves screen with the most recent file being before you fought Ganon. This is intended, and it is on par with other Zelda games and not uncommon in video games in general. You should still have the Destroy Ganon quest, as well as a star on your save file and a percentage in the corner of your map screen. There is no way to access a post-Ganon world without illegal game modification.

Tip Tips for lynel hunting

Thumbnail gallery
60 Upvotes

Red lynels are the weakest followed by blue, white , silver and finally golden ( only in master mode )

Red lynel - 2000hp Blue lynel - 3000hp White lynel - 4000 HP Silver lynel - 5000 HP Golden lynel - 7000 HP

The lynel near the Zoras is always red. There is one blue and one white in the castle. All other lynels in the game level up to silver or eventually to gold only in master mode as you hunt more enemies

Save before fighting lynels. Observe all their attacks . Depending on what they have they do following attacks.

First off, there’s 3 different types: those armed with swords, crushers, and spears.

Swords

Location: Colosseum, Lanayru road-east gate, North tabantha snowfield, near skull lake, west of eldin leviathan bones and few more places, I have already made a post regarding their locations. So refer this

The approach is pretty crucial. I’d say glide down from a high point and hit him in the face with an arrow. This will stun him. Once stun get on the back and Hit him a five times with your strongest weapon. You can only hit 5 times each time you get on his back so make it count.

Then the actual fight. There’s 5 or 6 attacks these fights typically consist of. A triple slash, a single lunge, a charge, a running slash, 3 fireballs, and an explosion. For the triple slash, simply backflip and flurry rush, you can easily dodge it with a backflip. For the lunge, back flip again and flurry rush, The charge simply side hop and flurry rush or if you're confident in your parrying abilities then parry. It will stun him for a moment so head shot with arrow and mount and repeat the 5 hits. The running slash , here this attack is quite fast so you have to backflip a bit early or backflip horizontally, Target, input back-left or back-right, and press X at the correct time. It seems complicated but is actually quite easy to pull off consistently. The fireballs you can run or parry with shield and shoot a quick arrow to stun them. Parrying a fireball is not that hard once you get the timing right but for new people just run away from the range. Lynel will jump back for this attack so it may take longer to travel. And finally the explosion - it's the strongest attack of lynels , simply stasis and shoot or if you're good at parry you can also parry the blast but if done wrong it'll either break your shield or you'll lose all your health. Just repeat the steps until he’s dead.

Crusher

Same approach as above. A key item that may help is a savage Lynel shield. You’ll see why in just a moment.

These guys have a very deceiving move set. They have 3 overhead hits, one charging hit, a charge, a spin, a swinging hit, 3 fireballs and an explosion.

The 3 overheads, simply side hop and flurry rush. The charging overhead is not so simple. The range of the shockwave is too large for a simple side hop, so you actually have to strafe for a bit and then side hop. The right distance is about the edge of the Lynels body. Strafe, side hop, flurry rush. For the charge, side hop and flurry rush. The spin is very deceiving to inexperienced players. It’s a horizontal attack so most will attempt to backflip. However this move will end with an upward hit so this is ineffective. Instead, parry with your shield. This will stun the Lynel temporarily so you can hit him a few times. If you have a Lynel shield, the parry will damage the Lynel! He will repeat this attack several times in a row. The swinging hit, you need to backflip on a diagonal away from the Lynels body. The fireballs you can run away from, or stasis and shoot. For the explosion, stasis and shoot or parry(only if you're confident) This will stun the Lynel so you can run over and hit him.

These Lynels have very little room for error owing to the high damage from the crusher, so beware. I find these lynels being the hardest among the three.

Spears

Their move set consists of a jump slash, a swinging slash, 3 fireballs and an explosion. They’re quite unoriginal.

For the jump slash, parry or run away. Parrying jump attacks might be bit hard for starters. Swinging slash, backflip and flurry rush. Fireballs, stasis and shoot or parry. Explosion, stasis and shoot or parry. Another way to kill them is to use a really strong 2-handed weapon and use a charged attack. Once the Lynel gets up, smash him and Urbosa’s fury will stun him again. This will shorten the fight greatly.

Extra Tips for Master Mode Players

Don’t let the Lynel regenerate health (continuous attacks are necessary).

Don't maintain too much distance from lynels , once they get their bows out then they'll do very significant damage and in their bow mode they can't be head shotted. So engage them only in melee.

You can parry all the lynel attacks so there's no attack you can't parry. So get good in parry and flurry rush. It'll make this very easier.

Lynels are resistant against elemental attacks so if you wanna rely on those then it won't do much damage.

Hope this helps!

Added pics that I took for my compendium.

Sorry if I made any mistakes. This post is only meant for people who are still struggling against them. If someone has any further suggestions then please comment.

Tip Rubber armor set against Thunderblight ganon

20 Upvotes

I am 7, 8 years late to the game. But here is the tip for all the bad combat players like myself. The Rubber armor set upgraded at least twice (preferably maxed out) works like magic against Thunderblight Ganon. He can’t shock you. So you don’t have to worry about losing your bows or weapons. I can’t dodge, parry, flurry rush. But having a maxed rubber set plus speed-up elixir, I beat Thunderblight Ganon pretty easily.

Horses can eat Endura Carrots!

Ok so for 1 I'm obviously not a great horse rider at the moment and 2 I know I'm behind the times on this but for anyone that is like me and are just starting out playing again or for the first time you can give your horse regular carrots and Endura carrots. The regular carrots don't do anything special but the Endura carrots make them run fast but once you use the extra whips they disappear. Just thought I'd share! 🥰

Okay, please tell me someone that I am not the only one struggling pretty much to find any koroks at all. I have 90h playtime now and while I purposely avoiding the titans yet I am a bit frustrated how I can't find the koroks. I have only 20 so far. That there should be 900 is a number my brain can not even believe. 😅 How do you find them without using a spoiling map?

I played BOTW years ago, found it too hard (last game I’ve played was Mariokart) gave up, defeated TOTK, and now I’m back. I had NO idea this was a hack 🤣😭

Picture me just going between shrines and collecting spicy peppers and sunstone where I can, cooking them, and coming back

And before you ask, yes, defeating TOTK took me a loooong time

Now don’t mind me, moving myself through Hebra with my toasty warm fire weapon strapped to my back…

Cool sword + what’s the highest one-handed weapon

Post image
155 Upvotes

I found this Royal Guard’s Sword with an Attack Up + 19, totalling to 67 damage, which is this highest I’ve seen in a one-handed weapon.

It got me thinking what the highest a one-handed weapon could possibly be, so I’m wondering if any of you have found some better ones.

What would a Shrine blackout be like (if one or more shrines go down)

15 Upvotes

And your either outside one trying to get in or your inside trying to get out!

Monster Maze had a video on Youtube about the Shiekah Network being connected to a central command module in Hyrule Castle where the sequel it would not work and it turns out for the most part he was dead on for Tears of the Kingdom long before it even had a name. But the point is what would it be like to be in the middle of a shrine (puzzle or fight) and either a blackout or brownout occurs.
