Has anyone here collected all the Korok seeds?? I’m only about 300 in

Just the thought of trying terrifies me haha! I got a number as I was going through the story and wandering around, but didn’t try that hard to find others.

Nope! I know the reward you get for getting all 900 though. I won’t spoil it!

I accidentally went to that island super early on, and promptly died lol. Apparently if you drop a few items on a raft before the challenge starts you can pick them back up after. Might be worth trying with a couple high powered swords.
Anyway, I just snuck into Gerudo town so that’s where I’m at! I’ve also got all the memories except for the one inside Hyrule Castle.

I wouldn’t cheat the super island, I think it’s one of the best/most challenging parts of the game

Agreed. I love how it makes you get really creative about how you tackle each part. It rewards preparation and consideration.
Calling it a “reward” is going a bit far… Totally not worth it

So far one of my proudest moments was defeating my first (and so far, only) Lynel. And a silver maned one at that, in a cold area, so I couldn’t use my best armour (although, I suppose I could have used an elixir).
My tactics were:
- long-lasting high level speed boost to run quick enough to escape it’s arrows and flame-breath.
- circle around a rock to get out of it’s direct line of sight
- run back into line of sight
- bomb-arrow to the face
- freeze it in time with stasis+
- run up to it whilst frozen and mount it
- wail on it with a high level two-handed guardian axe (my highest powered weapon at the time)
it took a few goes, but very satisfying to finally take it down!

Well done. Gold Lynel next.

Flurry rush helps against them

I find Urbosa’s Fury and Revali’s Gale handy against Lynels. If you get a decent combo in, you can put a big dent in their health before they’ve even charged you.

I’m still ashamed to admit I haven’t yet defeated a Lynel. Just immediately nope out of there and go back to collecting wood or something.
Maybe that can be my Lockdown v3 project…

I think you just have to take something(?) it’s guarding?
I also made it through the game without defeating one

I always just leg it on sight.
For me that’s the beauty of the game. It’s all about choice and freedom and having literally 100s of solutions to different situations.

Yeah, you can just sneak around to steal the arrows

I killed so many lynels by the end! needed to kill them to upgrade lots of the armour sets iirc.

I don’t have Urbosa’s Fury yet, as I’m about to go to the Gerudo beast as the last beast. I don’t think I had Revali’s Gale at that point either, I did the bird beast right after fighting that Lynel.
Thankfully no, you can sneak past it. I tried to fight but didn’t stand a chance at that point, since the Zora beast was the first ancient beast I went for! I’m not sure if this was a good order to do it, but I guess there’s no right or wrong way to do it. Waterblight Ganon felt very difficult in comparison to the Fireblight and the Windblight ones though, so that made me wonder if I should have done it in a different order, but oh well!
Last night I did the part where you go through the Yiga Clan hideout! Getting past them all took me a few goes, but then the Master I found easy. And now I have tons of bananas

Update:
I have beaten all ancient beasts, got a decent sized health meter and stamina meter, a ton of weapons and food, found all 12 memories, unlocked all 4 great fairies, got a full Barbarian outfit, and can defeat regular and white maned Lynels easily now.
I am going to head to Hyrule Castle soon for the bossfight!
Is anyone else hearing rumours of BoTW 2 getting announced soon? Apparently it’s the 35th anniversary of Zelda next week so a perfect time to announce it. Some more Switch remakes of older games would be great too, it was a real joy revisiting Link’s Awakening.

I really hope we do get an update on BoTW 2 at tomorrow’s Direct. The original game is almost 4 years old and it’s been well over a year since the sequel was confirmed.
Just give us anything! I’d be happy with a tiny bit of new footage.

A little Zelda side dish while we keep waiting for BOTW2.
