Tears of the Kingdom Dungeons are FANTASTIC 

I'm playing it myself before watching streams

@@noudderoos1860 fair enough! Have fun!

@@Smallant do you like koroks? Because it looks like your SUFFERING them

@@Smallant im playing with my dad btw (its a really fun game ngl)

@@Smallant i subbed

Exploration in a nutshell

TOTK really is "hey what's that" the game

took me two day to finish my queue of things to do before heading to one of the four areas with dungeons. Among other things, sumbled on the final boss room before doing like, the first thing in the game

Literally like any other open world. Nothing special

Ignore

Well at least his first play through

@@Gatorboy5678 yeah you are right, but I want to watch zora’s domain

well all the interesting stuff except the final bossfight has already happened, smant pretty much already played through all the good stuff imo

In case anyone was wondering like I was, they also dismantled all the ancient technology like Guardians and Divine Beasts

@@R0b0SquidHDMC i did, but like how and why? The plot hole is pretty big and i am kind of disappointed at that Edit: Also, they didn‘t bother to rebuild central hyrule one bit but dismantled every ancient technology for whatever reason?

@lYcronix its a major point that they we're rebuilding all of Hyrule. The Castle and Castle Town are nothing but ruins, the cleanup would take a very long time so they just built a new town outside of Castle Town. I'm not sure how, but they dismantled all the Guardians for parts to better their society, SkyView towers being one such example. But at the end of they day, it's Zelda. There are some assumptions you have to make, and it's not going to make perfect sense from our perspective

In the true ending of Botw, Zelda and Link journey to Vah Ruta. It's said that something is wrong with the divine beast. Perhaps the ancient tech just went back into the ground.

@@smangaming8104 wdym the true ending? How do u get that?

His 'Power' is totally busted too.

Best utility ability by far, and his combat skills are also better since he can headshot and the others can't

He is also voiced by the same person who voiced killua in the english dub of HunterxHunter, so the shonen comment is not far off LOL

@@realcupojoe ​ Yep, I mean I dunno how many people miss Revali lol but for sure won't be missing his Ability with a basically infinite replacement We got now. It literally turns Link into Superman!

@@netweed09 Just wish it could be aimed upwards

Man I solved about 5 of the 30 shrines I've done with the time rewind just because I didn't know how to do the shrine the intended way. Such a fun ability

also long stick solves many things, can't wait to get the game myself lol

@@logangomes2922 sometimes that is the intended way.

It’s called “shenanigans”

RTgame forgot the power existed at all so i just watched him trying to solve the shrines in the most smartass way posibble

Me having factory reset my switch😭

And not on master mode 😥 I 100% master mode and have nothing on normal since I wanted to try some speedruns

Just like how the horses carry over from the past game!

Me sad because the Hero’s Path Mode and Travel Medallions come with the game ☠️☠️😢

@@coltforceplayer hey, at least we know we're getting some crazy new stuff for dlc

r/angryupvote

Compared to TotK, BotW is closed-world

^ EXACTLY THIS

I did that too and felt dumb when smant just shot it

Same

diving thru it felt sick as fuck

@@committaxfraud115 no idea is stupid if it works and all that but personally i think it’s kinda dumb to waste arrows and weapons when you can do the entire fight without using a single piece of gear except a paraglider 🤭 im on team “dive through the ice spots”

I've been looking for someone who did that exact same thing I thought I was a genius when I figured that out and then realised how easy it was to get into the room hahaha

Rock Octoroks could repair rusty weapons in the first game, too. It's just that EVERYTHING is rusty now.

That explains why those buffed weapons count as different entries in the hyrule compendium, there's a reliable way to get them to show up! Good info, thank you!

Once per rock octorock per blood moon cycle, so it's not entirely finite

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@misirtere9836 (first off, i like your pfp) but like no? they don't restore the weapons to a purified state. also the weapons are decayed and not rusted. it's a different function

@@misirtere9836 the random buff is new

Imo fire temple is hardest, and thats the one i did first cos i said fuc what the game is telling me

@@chargegarg8234 bro the game deadass gives you the order whenever you talk to Pura after you do one (Wind->Fire->Water->Electric) lmao You can also see the difficulty scale with the Zonai tiers, Fire has tier 2s when Lightning is full of tier 3s

Lmao I literally ended up doing them in reverse order. I did spirit, thunder, water, fire, wind kekw.

@@nickchan4462 LMAO nice job

​@@TDEnderPlayz I've done it Water- Lightning- Fire- (am going to do) Air

They're all new koroks bro

nah, im sure hestu got mugged while link was recovering

Hetsu literally says he got robbed again

@@thedeviantguy he needs to get a gun or a knife so he doesn't get robed

YUH-HUH!

I wish it was as versatile as N&B/BP steering stick should have given us assignable controls for devices.

okay okay, jokes aside this game has proven itself more then just a nuts n bolts clone. case in point: its actually fucking good

The difference is that TOTK is still a Zelda game on its core. Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts is not even similar to Kazooie, Tooie or Grunty Revenge

@@NL-X TIL that Grunty's Revenge exists. I did not know there was a gameboy B&K title. it looks fun

He is considering to 100% this

I have a few issues, mainly the dungeons are super easy. All the ones ive done are easy asf.

Every zelda dungeon is easy - the reason why its a problem now is bc ur not a kid anymore

@@blu5021 All of them are easy tbh! If u want good challenge, try to beat the game using minimum bow & use it only when necessary. Game is actually too easy right now, we need ultra master mode for a good soulslike experience

@@priyanshumaurya007 yeah it’s annoying. You shouldn’t be able to rush the castle as soon as u get off the island

In fairness to your skill, I believe the game scales as your items / EXP does. Might be exceptions however

to make you feel worse and for no other reason, i feel the need to inform you that gleeoks do not scale with your level

It's okay, smallant has put many hours into both botw and totk, he has lots of experience and knows a lot more about the game than most people. (It took smallant 12ish minutes to defeat the gleok by the way)

Then again, it could just be that Demise returned again and they rebuilt hyrule... again

Yeah like, didn’t they create hyrule? It may be that they created a village and the zonai created the kingdom.

We need a The Legend of Zelda: Timeline explained

​@@notimeforcreativenamesjust3034 yeah, if you think of it logically, they never stated they were setting up a Kingdom, just that they should name the land after the events of Skyward Sword. It would for sure take a good amount of time to get to a state where a political structure could even be implemented. Though that begs the question... If TotK's past takes place after Skyward Sword with the literal first King of Hyrule, then this Ganondorf predates OoT Ganondorf (and was sealed away while that one kept returning). If this is the first King of a rebuilt/reborn Hyrule then it's a new Ganondorf regardless, but one long after the other one. My personal theory is that they are retconning the Downfall Timeline to not be based on an arbitrary Link death in OoT but instead this backstory, making it a completely separate branch where TotK's ancient past is the events that happened instead of OoT. This making the two Imprisoning Wars the same, and this Ganondorf the source of Calamity Ganon, which is also simply the Ganon from the Downfall Timeline games. Basically, Skyward Sword splits to either OoT or TotK's ancient past. OoT leads to WW, TP, MM, etc while TotK's past leads to A Link to the Past, Oracles, the original Zelda, then eventually BotW and TotK itself. Of course I could be wrong and this game simply serves as a soft reboot/makes all the old games only partially canon by making them literal legends.

The Zelda timeline literally never made any sense at all once you stop to think about it, Nintendo just acted like it did after some underpaid intern was probably tasked with making one for Hyrule Historia.

I also completely missed the broken wall. Ended up backtracking to the entrance of the temple to use ascend to get into that room, and then saw the broken wall from the other side.

The first good 100% run is going to use a million glitches we don't know about yet, come out a year from now and still take 50 hours. Six years from now the record will be 19 hours and movement will consist entirely of some weird Ultrahand/Recall physics glitch that doesn't get discovered until 2027

a week speedrun

yeah, considering you have to get every bubbulfrog, every well, every korok, even lightroot, every piece of armour maxxed and fight 10x the amount of bosses as you did in botw. all without blss or btb

"Fixed" isnt the best word choice, it still exists, and even with the effect, its annoying but i like that its there

you still slip even with level 3, but it's much less frequent and only really affects longer climbs. also jumping up walls still causes you to slip as well

The extent of "fixed" is up for debate. In BotW, the timing was consistent for climbing in the rain: 3ish grunts then a jump that took about double the stamina compared to clear weather. TotK on the other hand still forces a slip after every jump, so sticky only helps with slow climbs. Then on top of the slow climbs being the only benefit, the timing is inconsistent even with the same level of sticky. If you call it wrong, you still risk losing progress, and if you call it too early you run out of stamina from slipping. Maybe it wont be so bad after i spend more time playing around with it and find a consistent timing, but from my limited experience, i would argue adding a solution made the problem worse as they had to balance the game around the existence of the solution. The real problem is that clear sky rain still exists. When people complained about the rain, it was not the telegraphed rain that was the problem, but the unplanned "you will fall now" rain that would happen despite the forecast of sun or riskier overcast (clouds). The type of rain that exists just long enough to screw a player over for trying to climb at all, before disappearing as quickly as it showed up. That is what sticky fixes, but only if you juggle a balance of sticky insurance and climbing gear (including ravio's hood). Since climbing buffs only come from equipment (unless i am missing some new additions), id argue sticky food/elixirs are better than the inevitable armor set with the same effect.

@@cullenlatham2366 i am unsure whether or not to consider this a spoiler, i personally wouldnt, but the level 2 set bonus of the slip resistant armor is "slip proof" which does completely negate the rain effect, as well as ice climbing

@@coffeecrispy2673 fair enough. the sticky armor takes so much effort to obtain and upgrade that despite beating the final boss with a mere 9 shrines unaccounted for (or one of the following: 1 shrine, 2 unaccounted for heart containers, 5 shrines, 1 unaccounted for heart container), i only have the chest piece, so i wouldnt know. It is still debatable if "slip-proof" is worth giving up climbing gear unless climbing exactly ice, though, and that also comes from the unpredictability of clear sky rain.

Keeping hope he will 🤞🤞🤞

Were hoping

He doesn't edit his own videos lol

​@@MediumDSpeaks he actually does edit these TOTK ones himself, so he gets them out that quickly after the streams.

@Spieleckecker really? That's insane, how is he capable of that after a full day of streaming plus whatever business and personal stuff he has to do in the rest of the day! I feel like he'd definitely have an editor by this point, he's for sure making millions from youtube and twitch

@@MediumDSpeaks in the stream he said his editors are busy playing the game themselves, so for this release he edits himself after the stream. It's an insane amount of work, really appreciate it :)

@Spieleckecker damn that's insane. I wish I would make myself do something like that. I want to get back to making videos but I never actually do the work. It's just so difficult to edit

Or at least in the video title

To SmallAnt this request is normal sized

@@AJellieDonut ah, the age old tradition of RU-vid being too stingy with ad revenue so creators have to annoy the hell out of their regular fans in order to make a living.

@@totalphantasm It has nothing to do with youtube being stingy, it’s just human psychology

you should read or turn on your notifications

You should watch his skybox vods, he's a wizard Harry

Chill wtf

I don't. I prefer botw far more than this one.

Me too and I don't even have a switch yet lol

Bro chill

​@@woodysimpson1239 cool I guess, there's always this one person.

i have the same problem . i LOVE watching him play any game but at the same time i dont want to get spoilered .

Just 10 more years for the perfect Zelda game

Idk I don't really care if the temples stand out when the whole map is the temple now

fr we'll see it in a month

@@Cjbq one day hopefully

I did it his way too 👀 like last night lol

this weekend according to his twitch stream

@@TrustyCactus79it’s gone past the weekend into Monday…

@@bolt_beam ye idk, he said weekend so maybe today but idk
