Channelknight Fadran Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 On a less story-y note... what's your guys' favorite songs from the game so far? These are my top three: Spoiler Lookout Landing (MMMMM) Fire Temple Theme (IS A BOP) Tarrey Town (Always slaps. Always goes hard)
Frustration Posted May 27, 2023 Posted May 27, 2023 On 5/25/2023 at 10:18 PM, Channelknight Fadran said: My theory of where this fits in the timeline: (Not a bunch of game spoilers but... y'know. Spoilered) Reveal hidden contents I don't think Rauru and the Zonai actually founded Hyrule. At least, not originally. It wouldn't have been the original founding after Skyward Sword, but a significant re-founding after Hyrule fell at some point or another in the timeline. It's happened before, most notably in the Adult Era Timeline (otherwise known as ToonTime) with Hyrule being buried by the ocean before being reestablished for Spirit Tracks, and again in Zelda II after Link beats Ganon in TLoZ and restores balance to the force or whatever. Reason why I think this is the case is largely because of the existence of the rito and gerudo. Those, the Master Sword, etc. all point to the unification timeline as the leading theory on how the heck BotW fits in the first place. I imagine that sometime after the timelines merged, Hyrule would've gotten its butt kicked (by Ganon, probably) and eventually forgotten over generations of lost societal development... up until the gods send the zonai and Rauru to recreate the kingdom, establishing him as the "First King of Hyrule" for this iteration. That's kind of what I've been working with so far. Also Spoiler I just finished the Tears of the Dragon Quest-line, and got the Master Sword Do not proceed unless you have done so as well Spoiler I warned you Spoiler I suspected that this would happen ever since Mineru told us about Draconification, I acknowledged it as a possibility. I still was not ready. On the one hand I want Zelda back, but on the other hand, that would kind of cheapen the sacrifice, but she is the last of the royal bloodline so unless this is the last game in the timeline, which I highly doubt she needs to be restored in some way. This had better be handled correctly.
Dunkum he/him Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Spoiler Managed to kill (a?) phantom Ganon today. I'd encountered one a while back and it destroyed me, but this time I was a bit more prepared. having to sages around to deal some damage helps immensely.

Spoiler Oh...I like this. Much better than alternate timeline what-have-yous. But...with this... This world is old. Our own human civilization is - what - about 6,000 years old, give or take? 10,000 years ago, (modern-scientifically speaking, I'm not going biblical here, despite my religious background) humanity was barely out of cavemanning. And in Breath of the Wild we learn of a Great Calamity that happened - you guessed it - 10,000 years ago, and at that point Hyrule was technologically advanced. It's also implied that Calamity Ganon had appeared many times in a cyclical nature...so Hyrule, from the point of it's founding by Rauru and Sonja, is tens of thousands of years old. That's already incredibly old. Even if this is an alternate universe, and none of the other Zelda games happened in this timeline, that's...insanely old. If you add on the previous Zelda timeline...we have upwards of 100,000 years, maybe, where an entire civilization stays - for the most part - within a single technological level. (Even if specific races are constantly developing highly advanced technology occasionally. Those usually fall into disrepair and are forgotten.) The explanation for this lack of progress could be, perhaps, the nature of Demise himself. Constantly resurrected as a world-shattering evil, he'd constantly be able to wipe the history and progress of the kingdom, causing it to revert. Like the Desolations on Roshar. But... Yeah. OLD, my friends. Really, really old.

OLD, my friends. Really, really old. Just for a point of reference - 12,000 years ago was basically the beginning of agriculture on Earth. 6000 years ago give or take is when Writing was first developed around the same time as Bronze, and Steel is about 2000 years after that

You can also weaken her with a homing elemental keese eyeball and them just whack away. Hope this helps some
Going_North_cal Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 wizard i love you thank you i will employ this tactic tonight after work i can see it working in my head 1

Spoiler Break down one of the hives in the room, that will cause a pillar of light to form, inside that pillar Gibdoes fall on the ground and stop moving, allowing you to easily kill them, queen gibdo will occasionally attack you but even she mostly leaves you alone. From there you can take out the rest of the hives and then focus on the queen.

Frustration Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 48 minutes ago, CalanoCorvus said: that’s what i did Reveal hidden contents except she always nailed me with the sand sniper thing Huh, I think I got hit with that maybe once. Spoiler Then again, I had two other sages at that point, and one of them was really helpful at killing a lot of gibdos really quickly.
Going_North_cal Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 Spoiler HA GOTTEM WOO it worked it took a few tries but it worked >:)
Shining Silhouette he/him Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 8 minutes ago, Channelknight Fadran said: oh yeah btw I beat the game 100%? Or main quest?
Channelknight Fadran Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) main quest I'm not insane Edited June 2, 2023 by Channelknight Fadran though I did completely fill out the map of the depths soooo
Shining Silhouette he/him Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 1 minute ago, Channelknight Fadran said: main quest I'm not insane I'm about to beat the main quest About 110 shrines in and working on finishing the depths
Going_North_cal Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 Spoiler i’ve just beat phantom ganon it took a while but i did it :] yay
Dunkum he/him Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 48 minutes ago, CalanoCorvus said: Reveal hidden contents i’ve just beat phantom ganon it took a while but i did it :] yay Spoiler Honestly, he's not near as bad as the gloom pools he spawns from. those things come 5 at a time and you basically cannot melee them since they restrain you when they hit. Phantom Ganon is just a harder hitting regular enemy.
Going_North_cal Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 Spoiler i just shot him in the head with an arrow fused to various monster horns whenever that happened.. the gloom pools go away if you headshot him

Frustration Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 Okay, I too have finished the game Spoiler Okay, that was epic. The fight was an acceptable difficulty, and using Recall boosted by Raru and Sonia to restore Zelda... Epic.
+Invocation Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 I have been on full no-life mode for Tears of the Kingdom so far (with only the Archetype update post to voluntarily interrupt me) and I am now deliberately not finishing because I do not want the experience to end.
The Wandering Wizard he/him Posted June 13, 2023 Posted June 13, 2023 Spoiler I have refused to get the paraglider on my second play through and it's been a lot of fun figuring out how to do things without it. I did beat the Rito dungeon without it earlier today ^ spoilers for my wacky second playthrough
