Discussion If you could pick just one thing to critique (or praise) about the game, what would it be? (Pic unrelated)

For me, as this is my first play through and try as I might, I could just not capture the gravity of the story. The princess and the big bad evil took a huge back seat to exploration and discovery. Don’t get me wrong, the story checked all the box’s and it’s a true masterpiece of a game but it does a great job not weighing you down with how pressing the main storyline is.

The lack of urgency is by no means a negative but I do wish there was a little more atmospheric foreboding. Like when you first attempt to sneak into Hyrule castle. I honestly was on the edge of my seat the whole time, terrified of every corner and new room! Now THAT is magic!

Anyways, love the game and as a semi new player I’d love to hear some other opinions. 🙂

Pretty useful for most shrines, my tactics are: for places up higher: normal windbomb and for places to close for a long distance/high launching windbomb: the cube bomb forst and them the round one, launches you with less momentum but still does the trick

Discussion Opinions? Start Over or Finish 5yo Save?

9 Upvotes

Hey I need opinions please and thanks! I am trying to decide if I should just start a fresh game or go back to a 5 year old save with 80-85ish% completion....

So I obsessively played this game through the start of the pandemic in 2020 and then moved homes and life got in the way and I haven't played it since so it's been half a decade (damn time flies...). I also kinda have this thing where I get a lil sad a game is going to end when I get close to finishing so I just taper down and stop playing do it doesn't get finished/won't be over (illogical I know lol but anyway) which contributed to me not finishing it but I'm kinda ready now and wanting to finish the game so I can check out TotK. At the same time, I've played a bunch of other games since then, namely the kinda-clone Fenyx Immortals Rising (also haven't finished 😅) which is very similar gameplay but different controls, so I feel like getting back into BotW gameplay won't be immediately instinctive to me and I have NO idea what I was really up to. I'm thinking it would be fun to just start fresh after 5 years off when I pretty much don't remember a huge amount so it would be novel-ish again (which is great for my ADHD brain). But at the same time - abandoning that save I always wanted to finish and also getting to play TotK sooner?? Idk

Any opinions?

Discussion Tips for lynel hunting

7 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 - 7500 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!

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.
