Fs. Revalis gale would be way better if not for tulip pumping, Siddons ability is useless, and rijju’s is just a worse, smaller urbosa’s fury. Yunobos is the only good one.
@@informationnotavailable6433 Sidon's ability is far from useless. Outside of the obvious protection from a single hit, it also protects you from depths mountain's heat, and qualifies for the boost in damage for zora weapons. With the ability, you're wet for over a minute, if I recall. Not to mention, the ability has a pretty short cooldown.
@@peenos5206 Just because you can use it doesn’t mean you should. Zora weapons are simply not viable when compared to Royal or knights weapons, not to mention frost gear, puffshroom+eightfold blade one shots etc. Also the heat thing is negligible, armor is very easy to get and while I tried using Sidon for a while the fact that you have to walk over to him just for 10ish seconds of protection makes it horrible.
@@informationnotavailable6433 Zora weapons are very viable. There's a reason many consider them to be some of the strongest weapons in the game. Slap a silver lynel horn onto a basic zora spear, use sidon's ability, and you're doing something close to 130 damage per hit. You can also use things like molduga jaws and whatnot, with anything that boosts bone efficiency for even more damage. I'm not saying other weapons aren't bad, but not everyone wants to sneak attack everything they see. Takes the fun out of fighting. And as annoying as it is to chase down the sages, it's not some monumental task, and the reward is pretty good if you haven't significantly upgraded any armor.
@@Kobolds_in_a_trenchcoatit’s much nicer to get to where you need by pressing a button then going to a tower, usually waiting for a loading screen, get to the tower, skip a cutscean, and then you get there
If we remove the map from the abilty wheel, we could add a dedicated champion ability slot. Maybe you could select in key items which champion's ability should fill the slot.
After selecting Sage on the wheel the D pad could let you pick which of the four abilities you wanted to use, then A to activate. You’d still have to chase after you know who but that’s a an 80 percent reduction in annoyance lol
I would much rather just press a button to activate a sages ability because i seriously do not know what the devs were thinking with the way you activate the sage abilities currently, they also kind of just obstruct your view
The one benefit of the sages are being able to use them more than champion abilities due to cool downs but champion abilities are better and sages are just annoying besides tulin because he got those headshots.
Agreed, they’re great extensions of Link’s base moveset and I feel alright just shutting them off if I feel like I no longer need it, but with the sages, aside from Mineru, feel like tedious necessities at times, aside from Tulin since he always follows close by whenever you glide
Even if the champion abilities are a lil worse it's better overall because of how easy they are to use so champion all the way and I kinda hate how the sages follow you around they get in the way and are pretty dang annoying sometimes
I mean, you can literally remote-activate them just like Tulin when you're gliding: Riju: Draw a bow and press A to activate her charge Sidon: While blocking (Holding ZL) press A to get the shield Yunobo: Can't think of something cool, but while sprinting, press A to charge Yunobo Mineru: Stays the same That will be much more convenient rather than finding the right sage in the middle of battle
I turn off the goddamn avatars in caves cuz they are such a hassle and I can’t pick up ores I’ve broken up without activating at least one of their abilities by accident. I wish nintendo adds a quick-button like ZR-direction keys to quickly access the sage’s ability without having to go find for them every time.
This doesn't always work, and even if I do use the whistle by the time they come back it usually is too late (e.x. using sidons ability for the mucktorock)
His ability, or his usefulness as a companion? Because those are kind of two different things. My only annoyance with Tulin is I haven’t found a way to dismiss him if I accidentally activated him.
Raviolis gale is a god tier ability. It deserves its own tier above s tier. Tulin is good/ok, around b tier because vertical is always better than horizontal. Also, tulin always boosts my duped items away, so he dog water
Raviolis gale is the most useless in Totk with the bomb shield,rocket shield, spring/spring shield, ascend and hot air balloon. All being the same if not better at getting height. Exept hot air balloon hot air balloon sucks but it gets higher
@@Enforc3rin botw it was probably the best overall ability, i dont know why you are comparing to tulin to revali when revali is in a completely different game. Also bomb and spring are worse than revalis gale, they can send you in different directions depending on the slope of the ground and dont go the high. Test them in a vacuum instead of cherrypicking which game you want to use it in.
I love totk and it’s improvements over botw, but I believe that a: the accessibility was way more better in Botws abilities and that for example Revalis ability is a far more superior travel ability than tulins.
so here's what i think most of the champions ability's were really great with minor flaws although urbosas did seem very situational while sidons and yunobos abilities are definitely not that great rijus ability was a great upgrade to urbosas, tulins ability was a fun spin to movement since there is a lot more options for movement it seems to be overlooked and having a mech is a great thing to have no matter what you use it for since it's somewhat of a jack of all trades
Here’s my idea, I’ve been working on it for a while: All the actions on the d pad except whistling are useless unless you hold down the button, so instead (only while the sage abilities are activated) make tapping the d pad buttons activate the sage abilities: tap up for riju, left for Sidon, down for yonobo and right for Tulin (Hold down to whistle, teleporting all sages to you instantly). Mineru would stay the same, because going up to her makes sense, or they could even replace the map rune with mineru. And then they could also have contextual ways to activate. They already have two, pressing a in midair for Tulin and a while in a vehicle for yonobo. They just need to add the other two, press a with a bow out for riju and a while aiming a weapon for Sidon (not gaurding bc that would be parrying). EDIT 1: Sidon’s ability could also be used with ZL+A when you dont have a shield out. This would be especially useful for two handed weapons and spears. EDIT 2: The map rune could be replaced with a way of commanding the sages. It could freeze time like recall, then allow you to aim at an enemy, and press one of the face buttons for the sages to attack that enemy, or ZL and ZR for Mineru’s left and right hand. They could also use the d pad to summon or dismiss sages while using this ability. Pressing R could make all sages target a single enemy until you press R again.
Something no one talks about is the cool down. For the champion abilities you could only use them about once every ten minutes depending on the ability, but the sages you can use about once every twenty seconds
If Tulin could do revali’s gale on the ground and then swap to it’s normal sage ability that would be awesome. I miss going up high for free basically Tbh Sidon is just a fancier Daruk’s Protection. If it could just make you ride on his back or something like in BTOW I like both of the Gerudo abilities I prefer Yunobo it is so fun to just run over enemies
Imagine sage abilities controls but re-imagined like this: Riju: Target an enemy with a bow then a prompt appears telling you to press A to use her ability Sido: ZL + A to activate the water shield which will last until link uses the ability or it resets Yunobo: R + A, right before throwing an item you press A to switch to yunobo. OR R + up arrow and yunobo's ability is an item in the material list so you can choose to activate his ability when you try and throw an item Tulin: works pretty well for the most part, appears when paragliding. Could add a feature where holding X activates him and then you press A to gust Mineru: would be the same, maybe shield hop could lead into link jumping into her?
I'd pick champion abilities tbh. You get a fantastic movement option, a fairy on steroids, massive AOE shock damage that 3-shots most minibosses, and a get-out-of-jail-free card for if you suck at parrying (made even better in the context of botw because parrying is much more important)
SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON Revali: let me get that high ground. Tulin: let me get that pumping😳 Daruk: pretty useless if you’re good. Younobo: let me get them ore’s. Urbosa: this game is so easy. Riju: strong arrow+ ore mining. Mipha: thanks for the free revive. Sidon: this shit is useless. And yes the Tulin glide glitch is called Tulin pumping
Instant revive with temp hearts, three hit shield of infinite shield power (always staggers), Basically ascend but without a ceiling, Riju's ability but massive radius and massive damage. Compared to: one hit shield that turns into a low-damage short range attack, gust of wind that lasts for 15 meters (just use a hover bike), single lightning strike that take too long to charge, free fire explosions for mining and killing amour (actually good ability), mech that has too low durability on its tools/attachments and is really slow (just build a tank). Champions are way superior.
That would have been way more useful. I've never once used that map button intentionally. I use the map itself often but the quick button is just annoying and unnecessary.
Even with the admittedly janky activation, I like the sage abilities more than the champion ones cause I think they just look cooler. Having Link drop from the sky and summoning the spirit squad + A literal mech will never get old for me. They're also really good damage dealers on their own and have helped me cheese bosses like Molduga.
For me I actually used the champion abilities a lot more. Tulans Sage ability was the only one I used on a regular basis, the others were nice but too much of a pain to activate in combat and the Soul sages weapons all broke too quickly. That isn't to say I think the Champions abilities are that much better the Thunder and wind abilities were just a lot easier to utilize in combat if you are good at Dodges and parry's and had fairys you didn't really need to use the other two champion abilities. Although I will say the Motorcycle beats the Rock'em sock'em robot any day of the week
In my opinion the champion abilities are miles better, revalis gale was so useful in botw, and miphas grace is infinitely better than sidons… water bubble? And the fact they get activated automatically just increases my love for them.
I agree with thunder lord we should’ve kept the avatars, but have the champion abilities they’re just better, and instead of having to click a near them, we could just do it how we did in breath of the wild
There should be quick we ways to activate the sages. Tulin has the thing when you open your paraglider, and when you use zonai devices yunobo has a shortcut too. When you guard with your shield Sidon should have the button shortcut show up and when you draw your bow Roku should have a button shortcut Edit: sorry I meant Riju not Roku
Ingredients 185g unsalted butter 185g best dark chocolate 85g plain flour 40g cocoa powder 50g white chocolate 50g milk chocolate 3 large eggs 275g golden caster sugar Method STEP 1 Cut 185g unsalted butter into small cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl. STEP 2 Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them. STEP 3 Remove the bowl from the pan. Alternatively, cover the bowl loosely with cling film and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on High. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature. STEP 4 While you wait for the chocolate to cool, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. STEP 5 Using a shallow 20cm square tin, cut out a square of kitchen foil (or non-stick baking parchment) to line the base. Tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl. Tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps. STEP 6 Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board. STEP 7 Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar. They will look thick and creamy, like a milk shake. This can take 3-8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture becomes really pale and about double its original volume. Another check is to turn off the mixer, lift out the beaters and wiggle them from side to side. If the mixture that runs off the beaters leaves a trail on the surface of the mixture in the bowl for a second or two, you’re there. STEP 8 Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going under and over in a figure of eight, moving the bowl round after each folding so you can get at it from all sides, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. The idea is to marry them without knocking out the air, so be as gentle and slow as you like. STEP 9 Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly. STEP 10 Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Stop just before you feel you should, as you don’t want to overdo this mixing. STEP 11 Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they’re dotted throughout. STEP 12 Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Gently ease the mixture into the corners of the tin and paddle the spatula from side to side across the top to level it. STEP 13 Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 mins. When the buzzer goes, open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it’s not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. Take out of the oven. STEP 14 Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then, if you’re using the brownie tin, lift up the protruding rim slightly and slide the uncut brownie out on its base. If you’re using a normal tin, lift out the brownie with the foil (or parchment). Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares and finally into triangles. STEP 15 They’ll keep in an airtight container for a good two weeks and in the freezer for up to a month
Honestly, WHERE DID THE CHAMPION ABILITIES GO BETWEEN BOTW AND TOTK!?!?!? DID LINK JUST GIVE THEM UP TO THE GODESS HYLIA AFTER THE CALAMITY FOR NO REASON??!?!?!?!?
Tulin - side ways revalis gale Riju - worse urbosa fury Yunobo - blows up bomb when I try to pick them up in caves Sidon - daruks protection but also can attack
How do you think the abilities are better Mipha gave you a second live - Sidon gives you knock off Daruks protection Urbosa gave you a legit death storm - riju bought urbosas fury on wish Revali- very very very versatile- tulin it’s not that bad, but that upwards boost is still much more useful Daruk - god shield - yunobo he can… break rocks and … be good against ice lizalfos Mineru is great though
In a game where, gliding from island to island is a typical means of transportation, I understand why they made Tulin shoot you forward. That said, I will always be salty that there’s no more Revali’s gale to cheese up steep mountains if you can find the one tight ledge that you can’t put a pinecone on
The difference between the champion ones and the Sage ones is that the champions help you when fighting in an upgrade or ability sort of way, like Daruk’s protection giving you an extra shield to help, while the Sage abilities are there to accompany you during combat. in short, the champion version helps you when you fight, while the sages help you WHILE you fight.
The thing is on BotW yes Revali's gale is extremely useful, but in Totk it would be utterly useless. In that game there's thousand and better ways to gain horizontal distance (ascend, zonai springs, Bomb/spring shield, rocket shield, pinecones etc.)
This. Absolutely this The sage avatars and abilities are great, but having a way to activate them from a distance would be perfect Tulin should activate upon a-press when gliding, since his ability is basically useless elsewhere Sidon activates upon a-press when you're holding your weapon/shield Yunobo activates when you press a without holding anything Riju activates upon a-press when holding out your bow And the whistle should only call mineru, who can be mounted as usual, by getting close and pressing a (this will override any other champion that may be activated by pressing a)
Bro I ain't even gon hold you the sage abilities are absolute ass -Launched really high up into the air -Full Revival -3 Fully tanked hits -3 Long length Lightning stuns with high damage VERSUS -small air speed boost 💀 -1 tanked hit plus a splash -a lightning strike -a rolly Polly with fire -a zonai mech I'm not gonna lie the lower cooldowns are cool but quality > quantity and I just can't get over how bad tulins ability is compared to Revalis gale and how yunubo is completely useless unless your breaking rocks
Honestly i feel like champion abilities are SO MUCH BETTER, instant updrafts? Yes please! Insane damage by doing something you would already be doing? Absolutely? free parrys? Obviously! A LITERAL REVIVE THAT GIVES YOU YELLOW HEARTS
Why has no one pointed out that in btw you can buy dlc to get 8 extra shrines/2 extra hearts, and in totk you miss TWO hearts/or two stamina vessels, from getting max doesn’t that mean that totk will have a dlc so that you can get max heart’s and stamina!!
Daruk's protections can get you out of tricky situations in botw. Example: that forgotten temple with the mother goddess statue. Besides, who needs ammunition that explodes when you have the same thing already (and can also be used to launch you across the map when done correctly) Mipha's grace is basically a permanent fairy with a cooldown. While Sidon is only useful early game if you are in warmer areas without any heat protection (if you don't have any for some reason) Revali's gale is better than whatever that child does. urbosa's fury is far better than the other child's single lightning strike. And The bike is basically horse but better and needs to be "fed" to keep going. Yet some people state that mineru's only purpose is APPLE PICKING I will die on this hill before I bend on this matter.
The sage abilities generally hold more usability (except Mipha’s grace that shit was op), especially in Totk’s map but the ease of use on the champions abilities was simply unmatched, there was no fiddling around with the AI or dropping a sick combo so you can run around the enemy to activate an ability. You needed urbosa’s fury? Charge attack; need a hit tanked? Just raise your shield; need a cliff scaled? Revali got you. Totk feels more clunky despite the vast overworld improvements. The only real benefit to the sage abilities is their reuse, you aren’t waiting 10-15 mins for another chance to use the champions abilities, just like 10 secs or something
What needs to happen is you enter your rune screen by pressing LT, then you press like X or something and you get the sage ability screen, where the sage will immediatly active their ability
Now hear me out… what if you could use the sage abilities (apart from mineru’s) by pressing A while performing a certain action? There would be the “let’s go!” Prompt but you wouldn’t need to be next to the sage. Tulin’s would be by gliding and Riju’s would be while aiming your bow but Sidon and Yunobo would get a bit more complicated, maybe for Sidon it would be when you are holding your shield out you can hold A to activate his? This would be a bit weird but maybe Yunobo’s would be while throwing an item you could press A.
Yunobo and Tulin both have context-sensitive thingies, Yunobo on vehicles and Tulin while gliding. The others are combat-only, really, so they're not gonna be as convenient.
Here's the thing, when you don't deactivate champion abilities for example urbosa, then if you want to do big spin attack you can't and you waste one of them. And also a whole flipping dlc for upgraded time reduce
I like the champion abilities more, daruks protection is good for when you’re fighting several enemies, Miphas grace heals when you’re down, Revali’s gale is good for traveling and quick escapes, and Urbosa’s fury is great for fighting several enemies at once and I use them all the time. Yunobo is only good for mining and destroying armored enemies, Sidon does almost nothing, Tulin is only good for traveling in the sky, and Riju is okay but they all have one thing in common. I almost never use them because they just scatter everywhere and when I do get the chance to use them in combat it’s too late.
Ok but Riju’s ability annoys me the most because ITS ACTIVED WITH ARROWS AND WHEN YOU DRAW YOUR BOW THERE IS NOTHING ASSIGNED TO THE A BUTTON, WHY CANT YOU JUST PRESS A WHILE YOUR BOW IS DRAWN TO ACTIVATE HER ABILITY!!??!?!??!?
I do admit, the sages are cool and all, but miphas grace CARRIED me so much, and revali was super helpful when climbing. Daruk kind of got annoying, but super helpful during gah noboris. Sure, sages are kind of helpful, but not as helpful as champions. I do admit, mineru is really cool.
I miss Mipha's Grace. Enemies in this game deal so much damage that I just can't be bothered to heal anymore and usually just wait to get to a stable or something. Getting a free revive would be a godsend! Also no, I don't want to go out of my way to find fairies after every fight!
Daruks protection: A F- SHEILD THAT CAN PROTECT YOU FROM GID ITSELF yunobo: smash rock Mipha grace: A SECOND LIFE IF YOU SCREW UP sidon a sheild that does trash damage Urbosa furry: A SPHERE OF LIGHTNING THAT CAN INSTILL THE FEAR OF ANY BOKOBLIN, MOBLIN, AND LIZALFO Riju: run to here and shoot at a enemy to hit ONE enemy.
I feel like the sage abilities are less broken than the champion abilities were to a certain degree and therefore it makes sense that we are able to use them more often. Like sure, rijus lightning is worse than urbosas fury, but you also get more than three uses across a 10 minute period
Tough toss up honestly. The Champion abilities had no downsides; they were just really good. Meanwhile, the Sage abilities have some neat stuff that sometimes outclass the champions, but they have the drawback of difficulty of use. I think it ultimately comes down to a playstyle thing. Considering most of my TOTK deaths happen when I get slapped by enemies I didn't expect/see until seconds before they hit, I lean towards the champions. As a bonus, I also liked idleing with the champion abilities for fun(running around with D's protection, etc). Kinda hard to do with the sages.
I think, given the context of their respective games, the Champion abilities are better. BotW has limited vertical mobility options, so Revali’s Gale is a godsend. Urbosa’s Fury is perfect for taking out large enemies (or groups of small ones), but it isn’t overpowered due to its limited use. Daruk’s Protection is perfect for how it’s activated, although it is technically outclassed by Sidon’s ability, so I’ll give TotK that. Finally, Mipha’s Grace, which is probably a little *too* overpowered but BotW also has a LOT of enemies that can just one-hit you (Guardians in particular), and it’s usually the first ability most players get, so it feels like a natural power progression in that game. I like the Sage abilities don’t get me wrong, but some of them just don’t feel as powerful or useful in the context or TotK as the Champion abilities did in BotW. Tulin’s Gust is 100% the best one in TotK, while the other four kinda feel like they could have been tweaked a bit to be more actively useful in more situations.
Seeing as there isn't a reasonable button for each sage, I think holding down L and R should bring up a wheel with the different sages, similar to the arm ability wheel. Maybe there's a better button combo, but I can't think of any.
The sages are personally the one I like more. Although they can't always kill the enemy for me, they can still draw its attention so I can strike it from behind
I think it's cool to have 4 Sages to toy with but they will mess you up at times. It would be easier if they have a button menu to control which one you use on the ground.
BOTW Champion abilities are just better for me, it's nice having the ability to use Sidon's ability 3 times, Riju's lighting by charging your attack, be healed while adding 5 extra hearts in death, and having a self made updraft by jumping and they're more memorable.
How are Tulin and Sidon's ability better? I have never used Sidon's ability. And Riju's ability only uses a bow, while Urbosa's abilty is used more often when fighting, and you can always fire an electric arrow and electric arrows are exactly the same as Riju's ability when the terrain is wet (which isn't always, but it's still a substitute for Riju, while Riju isn't a substitute for Urbosa) Yunobo is the only ability that I like more, because you can use it airborne and you feel like such a cool guy when fighting an enemy in the sky, it feels like you're in an action movie, escpically when fighting the rock snakes in Death Mountain or Koga in the Depths, but that's rare, because it's hard to hit enemies and it, so it's better to just avoid them. Mining with Yunobo also sucks, because every piece of ore flies everywhere. Daruk is used way more often, also because it's used automatically
I think they're pretty evenly matched. Sure, the sages get in your way/give you heart attacks all the time, but they make up for it with actually being there and fighting and their shorter cooldowns. (Come to think of it Tulin is the only decent sage, I would much rather have the champion abilities, not at the cost of the avatars, save for the gust or the gale. Because both are good )
every time every single goddamn time it goes “Revali’s gale is now ready” i always ALWAYS say “Thanks revaliiii, Wait revali’s GAY?!?!?!” ever since i first got it
I like sage abilities and how for the most part they have multiple uses (fire sage ability is a knock back for combat but also useful to break walls or burn grass for an updraft for example) but actually activating them is a hassle ngl.
I don't understand why people think the champion abilities are worse, like, at all. We have Daruk: free parry for attacks Vs Yubobo: attack for rocks/rock enemies Revali: massive jump without needing to climb Vs Tulin: paraglider boost Mipha: Revive w/ extra hearts vs Sidon: honestly I don't know what Sidon is used for, maybe boosting zora weapons? Urbosa: AoE attack that shocks enemies vs Riju: specific lightning strike in an area, small AoE around it Honestly, I think the champion abilities are vastly superior, I just think they don't feel as useful because you get them at the end of their respective dungeon.
I’m sorry but “Daruk’s protection is now ready to roll” can’t get old

Fs. Revalis gale would be way better if not for tulip pumping, Siddons ability is useless, and rijju’s is just a worse, smaller urbosa’s fury. Yunobos is the only good one.

The one benefit of the sages are being able to use them more than champion abilities due to cool downs but champion abilities are better and sages are just annoying besides tulin because he got those headshots.
Agreed, they’re great extensions of Link’s base moveset and I feel alright just shutting them off if I feel like I no longer need it, but with the sages, aside from Mineru, feel like tedious necessities at times, aside from Tulin since he always follows close by whenever you glide
sage abilities have around 10 sec cooldown but champion abilities have like 2 min
Hot take: daruks protection was based, while playing through botw I was crap at parrys and daruk was my only way of killing guardians
when you see their eye shine, unless you're far away, that's your cue to parry!
Even if the champion abilities are a lil worse it's better overall because of how easy they are to use so champion all the way and I kinda hate how the sages follow you around they get in the way and are pretty dang annoying sometimes

Riju: Draw a bow and press A to activate her charge
Sidon: While blocking (Holding ZL) press A to get the shield
Yunobo: Can't think of something cool, but while sprinting, press A to charge Yunobo
Mineru: Stays the same
That will be much more convenient rather than finding the right sage in the middle of battle
How would parrying work with sidon though
@@FearlessJR2011 ...oh.
I have no idea then, other than create a special ability for remote controling sages instead of useless map
@@SonicGleb maybe instead it could be pressing A when you have a weapon out but you don't have a shield up?
@@FearlessJR2011 that's more like it
I wish you could hold down on the D-pad and just select an ability from there, similar to the rune selection wheel.
"Mipha's Grace is ready" is the most calming thing to hear before 120 shrines
I turn off the goddamn avatars in caves cuz they are such a hassle and I can’t pick up ores I’ve broken up without activating at least one of their abilities by accident. I wish nintendo adds a quick-button like ZR-direction keys to quickly access the sage’s ability without having to go find for them every time.
Funfact: if you whistle with enemys infront of you all the avatars will charge at them
I literally just saw that tip for the first time today.
This doesn't always work, and even if I do use the whistle by the time they come back it usually is too late (e.x. using sidons ability for the mucktorock)
Fun fact: In a battle, you can always make the sage avatars run to you regardless of the situation by whistling. They all converge on you!
Tulin's ability > every other god damn ability
His ability, or his usefulness as a companion? Because those are kind of two different things.
My only annoyance with Tulin is I haven’t found a way to dismiss him if I accidentally activated him.
Urbosa's fury lets you create lightning everywhere around you. The sage equivalent lets you create less lightning at the cost of an arrow
Urbosa's Fury costs half a stamina wheel at least.
I love having a small legion fighting for me but I hate the implementation of the abilities (except for Tulin) and really miss Mipha’s Grace.
Raviolis gale is a god tier ability. It deserves its own tier above s tier. Tulin is good/ok, around b tier because vertical is always better than horizontal. Also, tulin always boosts my duped items away, so he dog water
Raviolis gale is the most useless in Totk with the bomb shield,rocket shield, spring/spring shield, ascend and hot air balloon. All being the same if not better at getting height. Exept hot air balloon hot air balloon sucks but it gets higher
@@Enforc3rin botw it was probably the best overall ability, i dont know why you are comparing to tulin to revali when revali is in a completely different game. Also bomb and spring are worse than revalis gale, they can send you in different directions depending on the slope of the ground and dont go the high.
Test them in a vacuum instead of cherrypicking which game you want to use it in.
I hear Xenoblade, I comment.
I was looking for some that commented about xenoblade cause I love xenoblade
I too love the chronicles
I love totk and it’s improvements over botw, but I believe that a: the accessibility was way more better in Botws abilities and that for example Revalis ability is a far more superior travel ability than tulins.
Rocket shield made Ravioli's ability pointless to keep in the game as is
@@musketeer2727you still waste a rocket
so here's what i think
most of the champions ability's were really great with minor flaws although urbosas did seem very situational while sidons and yunobos abilities are definitely not that great rijus ability was a great upgrade to urbosas, tulins ability was a fun spin to movement since there is a lot more options for movement it seems to be overlooked and having a mech is a great thing to have no matter what you use it for since it's somewhat of a jack of all trades
How was urbosas situational and how is riju better
@@Geebinator yeah, Urbosa's Fury can literally oneshot minibosses and stun everything, it was good
just my play style i never used charge attacks
yunobo has the second best ability
@@Geebinator riju is more situational
I like mipha’s grace and daruks protection more. Very useful for how I play
Arms weak,
Knees heavy,
Vomit on my sweater already,
“Revalis gale is now ready”
Here’s my idea, I’ve been working on it for a while:
All the actions on the d pad except whistling are useless unless you hold down the button, so instead (only while the sage abilities are activated) make tapping the d pad buttons activate the sage abilities: tap up for riju, left for Sidon, down for yonobo and right for Tulin (Hold down to whistle, teleporting all sages to you instantly). Mineru would stay the same, because going up to her makes sense, or they could even replace the map rune with mineru. And then they could also have contextual ways to activate. They already have two, pressing a in midair for Tulin and a while in a vehicle for yonobo. They just need to add the other two, press a with a bow out for riju and a while aiming a weapon for Sidon (not gaurding bc that would be parrying). EDIT 1: Sidon’s ability could also be used with ZL+A when you dont have a shield out. This would be especially useful for two handed weapons and spears. EDIT 2: The map rune could be replaced with a way of commanding the sages. It could freeze time like recall, then allow you to aim at an enemy, and press one of the face buttons for the sages to attack that enemy, or ZL and ZR for Mineru’s left and right hand. They could also use the d pad to summon or dismiss sages while using this ability. Pressing R could make all sages target a single enemy until you press R again.
Something no one talks about is the cool down. For the champion abilities you could only use them about once every ten minutes depending on the ability, but the sages you can use about once every twenty seconds
If Tulin could do revali’s gale on the ground and then swap to it’s normal sage ability that would be awesome. I miss going up high for free basically
Tbh Sidon is just a fancier Daruk’s Protection. If it could just make you ride on his back or something like in BTOW
I like both of the Gerudo abilities
I prefer Yunobo it is so fun to just run over enemies
Imagine sage abilities controls but re-imagined like this:
Riju: Target an enemy with a bow then a prompt appears telling you to press A to use her ability
Sido: ZL + A to activate the water shield which will last until link uses the ability or it resets
Yunobo: R + A, right before throwing an item you press A to switch to yunobo. OR R + up arrow and yunobo's ability is an item in the material list so you can choose to activate his ability when you try and throw an item
Tulin: works pretty well for the most part, appears when paragliding. Could add a feature where holding X activates him and then you press A to gust
Mineru: would be the same, maybe shield hop could lead into link jumping into her?
ZL+A is shield bash/parry already
Everything else is cool tho.
Maybe Sidon's bubble could be on the rune wheel, like other commenters have suggested.
I'd pick champion abilities tbh. You get a fantastic movement option, a fairy on steroids, massive AOE shock damage that 3-shots most minibosses, and a get-out-of-jail-free card for if you suck at parrying (made even better in the context of botw because parrying is much more important)
SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON
Revali: let me get that high ground. Tulin: let me get that pumping😳
Daruk: pretty useless if you’re good. Younobo: let me get them ore’s.
Urbosa: this game is so easy. Riju: strong arrow+ ore mining.
Mipha: thanks for the free revive. Sidon: this shit is useless.
And yes the Tulin glide glitch is called Tulin pumping
slight movement increase, water, rock cannon and lightning bolt vs mountain scaler, second life, impenetrable armour x3 and aoe lightning bolts 💀
Instant revive with temp hearts, three hit shield of infinite shield power (always staggers), Basically ascend but without a ceiling, Riju's ability but massive radius and massive damage. Compared to: one hit shield that turns into a low-damage short range attack, gust of wind that lasts for 15 meters (just use a hover bike), single lightning strike that take too long to charge, free fire explosions for mining and killing amour (actually good ability), mech that has too low durability on its tools/attachments and is really slow (just build a tank). Champions are way superior.
I wish Mipha’s grace was in TOTK. It’s like having a fairy in your pocket, but not having a fairy in your pocket
I feel the Map ability could have been replaced with a way to use the sage abilities
That would have been way more useful. I've never once used that map button intentionally. I use the map itself often but the quick button is just annoying and unnecessary.
Even with the admittedly janky activation, I like the sage abilities more than the champion ones cause I think they just look cooler.
Having Link drop from the sky and summoning the spirit squad + A literal mech will never get old for me.
They're also really good damage dealers on their own and have helped me cheese bosses like Molduga.
For me I actually used the champion abilities a lot more. Tulans Sage ability was the only one I used on a regular basis, the others were nice but too much of a pain to activate in combat and the Soul sages weapons all broke too quickly. That isn't to say I think the Champions abilities are that much better the Thunder and wind abilities were just a lot easier to utilize in combat if you are good at Dodges and parry's and had fairys you didn't really need to use the other two champion abilities. Although I will say the Motorcycle beats the Rock'em sock'em robot any day of the week
The map option on the abilities wheel should lead to the Sage abilities. Opening up the Sage abilities could lead to another ability wheel.
In my opinion the champion abilities are miles better, revalis gale was so useful in botw, and miphas grace is infinitely better than sidons… water bubble?
And the fact they get activated automatically just increases my love for them.
I agree with thunder lord we should’ve kept the avatars, but have the champion abilities they’re just better, and instead of having to click a near them, we could just do it how we did in breath of the wild
There should be quick we ways to activate the sages. Tulin has the thing when you open your paraglider, and when you use zonai devices yunobo has a shortcut too. When you guard with your shield Sidon should have the button shortcut show up and when you draw your bow Roku should have a button shortcut
Edit: sorry I meant Riju not Roku
Nah shut up. Talk to me when Yunobo says “Daruk’s Protection is ready to roll!”
I accidentally use the avatars when I don't want to because they are always in my face...But when I WANT to use them they're RUNNING AWAY
Imagine seeing a random guy with five Joni stands equipped 💀
Ingredients
185g unsalted butter
185g best dark chocolate
85g plain flour
40g cocoa powder
50g white chocolate
50g milk chocolate
3 large eggs
275g golden caster sugar
Method
STEP 1
Cut 185g unsalted butter into small cubes and tip into a medium bowl. Break 185g dark chocolate into small pieces and drop into the bowl.
STEP 2
Fill a small saucepan about a quarter full with hot water, then sit the bowl on top so it rests on the rim of the pan, not touching the water. Put over a low heat until the butter and chocolate have melted, stirring occasionally to mix them.
STEP 3
Remove the bowl from the pan. Alternatively, cover the bowl loosely with cling film and put in the microwave for 2 minutes on High. Leave the melted mixture to cool to room temperature.
STEP 4
While you wait for the chocolate to cool, position a shelf in the middle of your oven and turn the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.
STEP 5
Using a shallow 20cm square tin, cut out a square of kitchen foil (or non-stick baking parchment) to line the base. Tip 85g plain flour and 40g cocoa powder into a sieve held over a medium bowl. Tap and shake the sieve so they run through together and you get rid of any lumps.
STEP 6
Chop 50g white chocolate and 50g milk chocolate into chunks on a board.
STEP 7
Break 3 large eggs into a large bowl and tip in 275g golden caster sugar. With an electric mixer on maximum speed, whisk the eggs and sugar. They will look thick and creamy, like a milk shake. This can take 3-8 minutes, depending on how powerful your mixer is. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture becomes really pale and about double its original volume. Another check is to turn off the mixer, lift out the beaters and wiggle them from side to side. If the mixture that runs off the beaters leaves a trail on the surface of the mixture in the bowl for a second or two, you’re there.
STEP 8
Pour the cooled chocolate mixture over the eggy mousse, then gently fold together with a rubber spatula. Plunge the spatula in at one side, take it underneath and bring it up the opposite side and in again at the middle. Continue going under and over in a figure of eight, moving the bowl round after each folding so you can get at it from all sides, until the two mixtures are one and the colour is a mottled dark brown. The idea is to marry them without knocking out the air, so be as gentle and slow as you like.
STEP 9
Hold the sieve over the bowl of eggy chocolate mixture and resift the cocoa and flour mixture, shaking the sieve from side to side, to cover the top evenly.
STEP 10
Gently fold in this powder using the same figure of eight action as before. The mixture will look dry and dusty at first, and a bit unpromising, but if you keep going very gently and patiently, it will end up looking gungy and fudgy. Stop just before you feel you should, as you don’t want to overdo this mixing.
STEP 11
Finally, stir in the white and milk chocolate chunks until they’re dotted throughout.
STEP 12
Pour the mixture into the prepared tin, scraping every bit out of the bowl with the spatula. Gently ease the mixture into the corners of the tin and paddle the spatula from side to side across the top to level it.
STEP 13
Put in the oven and set your timer for 25 mins. When the buzzer goes, open the oven, pull the shelf out a bit and gently shake the tin. If the brownie wobbles in the middle, it’s not quite done, so slide it back in and bake for another 5 minutes until the top has a shiny, papery crust and the sides are just beginning to come away from the tin. Take out of the oven.
STEP 14
Leave the whole thing in the tin until completely cold, then, if you’re using the brownie tin, lift up the protruding rim slightly and slide the uncut brownie out on its base. If you’re using a normal tin, lift out the brownie with the foil (or parchment). Cut into quarters, then cut each quarter into four squares and finally into triangles.
STEP 15
They’ll keep in an airtight container for a good two weeks and in the freezer for up to a month
Honestly, WHERE DID THE CHAMPION ABILITIES GO BETWEEN BOTW AND TOTK!?!?!? DID LINK JUST GIVE THEM UP TO THE GODESS HYLIA AFTER THE CALAMITY FOR NO REASON??!?!?!?!?
Imo the abilities are as follows:
Mipha > sidon
Daruk < yonobo
Revali smite
Fun Fact: You can whistle to call the sages to come to you, even in the heat of battle
i physically need revails gale to even wake up in the morning
Tulin - side ways revalis gale
Riju - worse urbosa fury
Yunobo - blows up bomb when I try to pick them up in caves
Sidon - daruks protection but also can attack
Sidon is a worse daruk, you can't even Attack while having the shield or itll go away
How do you think the abilities are better
Mipha gave you a second live - Sidon gives you knock off Daruks protection
Urbosa gave you a legit death storm - riju bought urbosas fury on wish
Revali- very very very versatile- tulin it’s not that bad, but that upwards boost is still much more useful
Daruk - god shield - yunobo he can… break rocks and … be good against ice lizalfos
Mineru is great though
I like Mipha's grace because it revives you with extra hearts
I can't lie, I miss revali's gale so much
In a game where, gliding from island to island is a typical means of transportation, I understand why they made Tulin shoot you forward.
That said, I will always be salty that there’s no more Revali’s gale to cheese up steep mountains if you can find the one tight ledge that you can’t put a pinecone on
The difference between the champion ones and the Sage ones is that the champions help you when fighting in an upgrade or ability sort of way, like Daruk’s protection giving you an extra shield to help, while the Sage abilities are there to accompany you during combat. in short, the champion version helps you when you fight, while the sages help you WHILE you fight.
If only there was a way word if you whistled your party members will come close to you so you can activate them when you're in combat
sages for the sole purpose that i get lonely without them
raviolis gale makes the champion abilities better tho. it was so useful
Yo fax i feel like revali is really hated meanwhile he is my favorite champion
The thing is on BotW yes Revali's gale is extremely useful, but in Totk it would be utterly useless. In that game there's thousand and better ways to gain horizontal distance (ascend, zonai springs, Bomb/spring shield, rocket shield, pinecones etc.)
@@Bitterwarp yea i don’t like him but i like his ability
This. Absolutely this
The sage avatars and abilities are great, but having a way to activate them from a distance would be perfect
Tulin should activate upon a-press when gliding, since his ability is basically useless elsewhere
Sidon activates upon a-press when you're holding your weapon/shield
Yunobo activates when you press a without holding anything
Riju activates upon a-press when holding out your bow
And the whistle should only call mineru, who can be mounted as usual, by getting close and pressing a (this will override any other champion that may be activated by pressing a)
Bro I ain't even gon hold you the sage abilities are absolute ass
-Launched really high up into the air
-Full Revival
-3 Fully tanked hits
-3 Long length Lightning stuns with high damage
VERSUS
-small air speed boost 💀
-1 tanked hit plus a splash
-a lightning strike
-a rolly Polly with fire
-a zonai mech
I'm not gonna lie the lower cooldowns are cool but quality > quantity and I just can't get over how bad tulins ability is compared to Revalis gale and how yunubo is completely useless unless your breaking rocks
Champion no debate, there’s only 1 really useful sage ability, and the robots pretty good
Honestly i feel like champion abilities are SO MUCH BETTER, instant updrafts? Yes please! Insane damage by doing something you would already be doing? Absolutely? free parrys? Obviously! A LITERAL REVIVE THAT GIVES YOU YELLOW HEARTS
Why has no one pointed out that in btw you can buy dlc to get 8 extra shrines/2 extra hearts, and in totk you miss TWO hearts/or two stamina vessels, from getting max doesn’t that mean that totk will have a dlc so that you can get max heart’s and stamina!!
Daruk's protections can get you out of tricky situations in botw. Example: that forgotten temple with the mother goddess statue. Besides, who needs ammunition that explodes when you have the same thing already (and can also be used to launch you across the map when done correctly)
Mipha's grace is basically a permanent fairy with a cooldown. While Sidon is only useful early game if you are in warmer areas without any heat protection (if you don't have any for some reason)
Revali's gale is better than whatever that child does.
urbosa's fury is far better than the other child's single lightning strike.
And The bike is basically horse but better and needs to be "fed" to keep going. Yet some people state that mineru's only purpose is APPLE PICKING
I will die on this hill before I bend on this matter.
imp, Champion's Abilities because there's only 2 of them I use for Sage abilities, but champion's abilities I use them all.
The sage abilities generally hold more usability (except Mipha’s grace that shit was op), especially in Totk’s map but the ease of use on the champions abilities was simply unmatched, there was no fiddling around with the AI or dropping a sick combo so you can run around the enemy to activate an ability. You needed urbosa’s fury? Charge attack; need a hit tanked? Just raise your shield; need a cliff scaled? Revali got you. Totk feels more clunky despite the vast overworld improvements. The only real benefit to the sage abilities is their reuse, you aren’t waiting 10-15 mins for another chance to use the champions abilities, just like 10 secs or something
What needs to happen is you enter your rune screen by pressing LT, then you press like X or something and you get the sage ability screen, where the sage will immediatly active their ability
Now hear me out… what if you could use the sage abilities (apart from mineru’s) by pressing A while performing a certain action? There would be the “let’s go!” Prompt but you wouldn’t need to be next to the sage. Tulin’s would be by gliding and Riju’s would be while aiming your bow but Sidon and Yunobo would get a bit more complicated, maybe for Sidon it would be when you are holding your shield out you can hold A to activate his? This would be a bit weird but maybe Yunobo’s would be while throwing an item you could press A.
If I’m being completely honest, Tulin is so goated that I would rather pick him alone then all 4 of the champion abilities
Yunobo and Tulin both have context-sensitive thingies, Yunobo on vehicles and Tulin while gliding.
The others are combat-only, really, so they're not gonna be as convenient.
Here's the thing, when you don't deactivate champion abilities for example urbosa, then if you want to do big spin attack you can't and you waste one of them. And also a whole flipping dlc for upgraded time reduce
Revali’s gale is still my favorite out of all of these.
When you realize the *whistle* brings them back 🧐🫨🤬🥶🥵😎👹🦾🦸
I like the champion abilities more, daruks protection is good for when you’re fighting several enemies, Miphas grace heals when you’re down, Revali’s gale is good for traveling and quick escapes, and Urbosa’s fury is great for fighting several enemies at once and I use them all the time.
Yunobo is only good for mining and destroying armored enemies, Sidon does almost nothing, Tulin is only good for traveling in the sky, and Riju is okay but they all have one thing in common. I almost never use them because they just scatter everywhere and when I do get the chance to use them in combat it’s too late.
Ok but Riju’s ability annoys me the most because ITS ACTIVED WITH ARROWS AND WHEN YOU DRAW YOUR BOW THERE IS NOTHING ASSIGNED TO THE A BUTTON, WHY CANT YOU JUST PRESS A WHILE YOUR BOW IS DRAWN TO ACTIVATE HER ABILITY!!??!?!??!?
I do admit, the sages are cool and all, but miphas grace CARRIED me so much, and revali was super helpful when climbing. Daruk kind of got annoying, but super helpful during gah noboris. Sure, sages are kind of helpful, but not as helpful as champions. I do admit, mineru is really cool.
I miss Mipha's Grace. Enemies in this game deal so much damage that I just can't be bothered to heal anymore and usually just wait to get to a stable or something. Getting a free revive would be a godsend! Also no, I don't want to go out of my way to find fairies after every fight!
I like running to sages to activate them because it’s something you don’t see that often
The sage's abilities are far worse than the champion ones, but they take like 8 seconds to recharge while the other ones take minutes
I feel like with better activation, we’d be able to see even crazier over the top combos on enemies.
Daruks protection: A F- SHEILD THAT CAN PROTECT YOU FROM GID ITSELF
yunobo: smash rock
Mipha grace: A SECOND LIFE IF YOU SCREW UP
sidon a sheild that does trash damage
Urbosa furry: A SPHERE OF LIGHTNING THAT CAN INSTILL THE FEAR OF ANY BOKOBLIN, MOBLIN, AND LIZALFO
Riju: run to here and shoot at a enemy to hit ONE enemy.
I feel like the sage abilities are less broken than the champion abilities were to a certain degree and therefore it makes sense that we are able to use them more often.
Like sure, rijus lightning is worse than urbosas fury, but you also get more than three uses across a 10 minute period
There’s nothing more I’d like than to smash the demon king
Tough toss up honestly. The Champion abilities had no downsides; they were just really good. Meanwhile, the Sage abilities have some neat stuff that sometimes outclass the champions, but they have the drawback of difficulty of use.
I think it ultimately comes down to a playstyle thing. Considering most of my TOTK deaths happen when I get slapped by enemies I didn't expect/see until seconds before they hit, I lean towards the champions.
As a bonus, I also liked idleing with the champion abilities for fun(running around with D's protection, etc). Kinda hard to do with the sages.
I think, given the context of their respective games, the Champion abilities are better. BotW has limited vertical mobility options, so Revali’s Gale is a godsend. Urbosa’s Fury is perfect for taking out large enemies (or groups of small ones), but it isn’t overpowered due to its limited use. Daruk’s Protection is perfect for how it’s activated, although it is technically outclassed by Sidon’s ability, so I’ll give TotK that. Finally, Mipha’s Grace, which is probably a little *too* overpowered but BotW also has a LOT of enemies that can just one-hit you (Guardians in particular), and it’s usually the first ability most players get, so it feels like a natural power progression in that game.
I like the Sage abilities don’t get me wrong, but some of them just don’t feel as powerful or useful in the context or TotK as the Champion abilities did in BotW. Tulin’s Gust is 100% the best one in TotK, while the other four kinda feel like they could have been tweaked a bit to be more actively useful in more situations.
Seeing as there isn't a reasonable button for each sage, I think holding down L and R should bring up a wheel with the different sages, similar to the arm ability wheel. Maybe there's a better button combo, but I can't think of any.
The sages are personally the one I like more. Although they can't always kill the enemy for me, they can still draw its attention so I can strike it from behind
However, mipha’s grace is better than all of the sage abilities.
I think it's cool to have 4 Sages to toy with but they will mess you up at times. It would be easier if they have a button menu to control which one you use on the ground.
BOTW Champion abilities are just better for me, it's nice having the ability to use Sidon's ability 3 times, Riju's lighting by charging your attack, be healed while adding 5 extra hearts in death, and having a self made updraft by jumping and they're more memorable.
How are Tulin and Sidon's ability better? I have never used Sidon's ability. And Riju's ability only uses a bow, while Urbosa's abilty is used more often when fighting, and you can always fire an electric arrow and electric arrows are exactly the same as Riju's ability when the terrain is wet (which isn't always, but it's still a substitute for Riju, while Riju isn't a substitute for Urbosa) Yunobo is the only ability that I like more, because you can use it airborne and you feel like such a cool guy when fighting an enemy in the sky, it feels like you're in an action movie, escpically when fighting the rock snakes in Death Mountain or Koga in the Depths, but that's rare, because it's hard to hit enemies and it, so it's better to just avoid them. Mining with Yunobo also sucks, because every piece of ore flies everywhere. Daruk is used way more often, also because it's used automatically
I think they're pretty evenly matched. Sure, the sages get in your way/give you heart attacks all the time, but they make up for it with actually being there and fighting and their shorter cooldowns.
(Come to think of it Tulin is the only decent sage, I would much rather have the champion abilities, not at the cost of the avatars, save for the gust or the gale. Because both are good )
I like running around to activate the sage abilities. It adds some difficulty to the otherwise easy fights.
every time every single goddamn time it goes “Revali’s gale is now ready” i always ALWAYS say “Thanks revaliiii, Wait revali’s GAY?!?!?!” ever since i first got it
I like sage abilities and how for the most part they have multiple uses (fire sage ability is a knock back for combat but also useful to break walls or burn grass for an updraft for example) but actually activating them is a hassle ngl.
Mipha's grace is ready...
Revali's gale is ready...
Urbosa's fury is ready...
Daruk's protection is ready to roll...
I miss them so much😢
Sage abilities are reused champion abilities executed differently. (Younobo is the only new one
I feel like I’m going through a schizophrenic attack everytime I watch a video from the amount of sound effects being used
I don't understand why people think the champion abilities are worse, like, at all. We have
Daruk: free parry for attacks
Vs
Yubobo: attack for rocks/rock enemies
Revali: massive jump without needing to climb
Vs
Tulin: paraglider boost
Mipha: Revive w/ extra hearts
vs
Sidon: honestly I don't know what Sidon is used for, maybe boosting zora weapons?
Urbosa: AoE attack that shocks enemies
vs
Riju: specific lightning strike in an area, small AoE around it
Honestly, I think the champion abilities are vastly superior, I just think they don't feel as useful because you get them at the end of their respective dungeon.
