It honestly feels like Zelda's just randomly throwing out different runes at her opponent hoping to god they might work and they, by random chance, just happen to synergize perfectly. like, I can just hear her yelling "Random Bullshit!!! GO!!!!!!" and I love that.
Video: "Zelda's most important rune..." Me: It's gonna be her bombs, isn't it? "...is Magnesis." Wait, wha- *sees Magnesis force Weak Point Gauges* WAIT WHAT
For real though watching Zelda tear herself down and being unable to really take compliments throughout most of the story was hard to watch. Hit a little too close to home.
One of Zelda's idle animations with the slate is her getting down and catching a frog (the same from the memory in Breath of the Wild.) Yes, complete with the... Infamous pose. Her other has her taking a picture with the Slate, something that was known to be a thing Zelda enjoyed doing.
I love that you are doing guides on the unconventional characters for Age of Calamity first! It gives me brand new appreciation for how good the characters really are. I hope in the future you do a guide on the final secret character soon. I struggle trying to bring out his full potential and want to see how you use him.
Super late, but after these guides I'm pleasantly surprised by how well-balanced the roster is in this game. Some of them have way higher or lower skill gates than others, but played to their fullest, almost every character gets a chance to really shine and has some niche they excel in.
I was literally thinking yesterday "If he continues the trend of making guides for the most confusing characters he should do Zelda next." I'm expecting Khoga next now!
I’m sure our video maker can give more info than I can in text form, but the basic best way to use Kogha is use his 3y strong where he makes a copy of himself, and follow up with Stasis. The combo gives him about 90% stress, while stasis is about 50. Be ready to tap ZR as he flies forward, cause if you miss the timing, he’s in a tantrum. You can also use 4y strong t do the ball roll. The few seconds where it is a Spiked ball do a lot of damage, and it seems to expose weak point gauges every time it poofs to the next size(even on Lynels) just nite that once he goes under the ball, he will be max stress, and the Banana Shield does not last longer by enough to block this, so you must ZR immediately upon exiting. His ZR at max stress will, without fail, expose weak point gauges and stun lock until finish, as well as making him 100% invulnerable until it’s finished.
Sorry I'm super late, I think it's really interesting how Zelda is basically the successor to Ravio from the origenal Hyrule Warriors, in them using the cast's shared items as their moveset. Each of her strong attacks also correlates to Ravio's respective one (ie C1 summons four ice pillars, C3 rolls a large bomb, ect.)
I’ve made my own little special “attack” with Zelda’s ice rune, When an enemy attacks with an attack you can counter with the ice rune, quickly surround them and explode the ice spikes, boom weak gauge GONE with a bit of ✨style✨
Even though her unique form with it is a i bit difficult to grasp at first, mashing her zl + y does nice damage with stupid range and aoe, though it's kinda the only move I end up using in that form
Her bomb combo extended once can actually force Taluses into their downed state by destroying their arms, and then you can stasis them and do whatever else.
As soon as I got the two sheikah rune damage meals, I went “hmmm, does that include zeldas normal attacks?” so I proceeded to do the next story mission that requires her, and HOOLLLY-
HOLY CRAP I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE MAGNESIS RUNE CRATE TRICK UNTIL NOW! I love the slate and have been able to get great results without this technique but holy moly this is truly a game changer.
This is one of the most fun games I’ve ever played and Zelda is by far my main! Idk what it is about her play style that’s so satisfying to execute properly.
I'll totally admit that I said the same thing about Zelda as Impa. "This character looks really good if you spend the time to figure out how they work. I do not want to spend the time to figure out how they work."
Once you're done with the character guides can you do guides on more of the mechanics of the game itself like how to efficiently use the blacksmith and what types of weapons should we keep vs which ones we should just sell? That's honestly one of the most confusing aspects of this game to me is the weapon system and how to get more weapons, how to get good quality weapons etc. I feel like the original Hyrule Warriors was incredibly simple and easy to understand but this one has extra steps in it that really confuse me
Great guide! I think you're underselling how powerful her basic attacks counting as runes is. Most characters can't do a Sheikah rune weak point exposure and immediately follow up with Stasis. Only Sheikah Slate Zelda is capable of doing that (or at least she's the only one I'm aware of being able to do so). This plus the super charged magnesis rune makes her the queen of exposing weak point gauges in my experience. Also, taluses are hilariously easy with this kit. Zelda can send out so many bombs that you can trivially keep them stun locked by blowing up their "arms." Often, you can blow up both and get them fully stunned if you combine her remote bomb and C3.
Zelda was my favorite from the start. I seen how much her basic attacks helped me force our weak point without having to actually use the Sheika slate like everyone else
DUDE. I'm decently into the post-game and, while I have loved Zelda because I just love Zelda, I was struggling taking down weak point gauges. After this video I went back to the game and she is a BEAST taking down bosses! Love it!
Used to hate Sheikah Slate Zelda. Watched this guide, amped her up, and pretty much soloed Fort Hateno on Very Hard with 3 minutes to spare. She's up there with Mipha and Revali on my team now. Thank you so much!
Knew more in this compared to the other two, but the magnesis trick and the bit about the shiekah slate food (which I had previously thought they would surely not do) was QUITE surprising.
I haven’t watched this all the way through so I’m not positive of this is mentioned in this video, but Zelda can trap The giant talus monsters in an infinite chain with her bomb combo, spamming it will always break both arms of the talus forcing it to fall and expose its weak point, at which point you can either rinse and repeat or stasis it for some extra damage time
I loved your series on Hyrule Warriors, and I am so psyched to see you doing guides for AoC too. You manage to be really thorough and detailed while still engaging and easy to understand, and the editing follows your script so smoothly I'm never confused. Really great job, can't wait to see the next video.
I subscribed because wow, the detail you go into and the stones you turn over. I’d also love to see you make videos going over some of this game’s universal mechanics as their own topics, like Riding the Wind/aerial combat or the Sheikah Runes.
I started an apocalypse playthrough 2 days ago and mostly kept to impa and revali, it is quite difficuilt without their full kit, but manageable. Being forced to play zelda in the hyrule castle mission I discovered how string she can be by pure accident. I love all the characters in this game.
Slate Zelda is the goddess of destruction. I had NO idea that these intricacies existed with her slate moveset. Holy crap. I thought she was fun to play without this knowledge but now that I have newfound information, she's going to wreck.
Jeez, I already felt like Sheikah Slate Zelda was one of the best characters in the game, but I had no idea about that Magnesis tech. Definitely going to spend some time playing around with that.
Huh. I didn't know how good zelda can be in this game. Any chance of doing sidon next? He's my favourite character to play as, so i'd love to see someone explain how best to use him
HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL OF THIS?! So awesome, I switched exclusively to get bows because I just couldn't understand wtf was going on (at least until I figured out the cart attack... pretty powerful). Can't wait to buff a slate, now
I want you to know that your aoc player guides have been the best, most useful I've found so far. VERY little fluff in the video...just tells me everything I want to know INCLUDING weapon info! Very cool. Subscribed
Incredible video. Until now it seemed like AoC hadn't had the same sort of in-depth community character guides that OG HW had. I can't wait to see you run through all the characters. Amazing stuff.
Finally people know the majesty of Zelda's shiekah slate I've known it to be from the start. (I kinda went ham on the demo) Edit: It's worth pointing out that the 2nd part of her first strong attack combo, where she ascends Elsa style, can expose enemy weak point gauges. Though due to it's slow start up, it can be difficult to use outside of timing it with stasis's end.
So funny story, my R button was *broken* when I first started playing the game. Eventually I got a new controller, but that little thing with Zelda's normal attacks having the same power as Cryonis and Stasis made her the only character where I could reliably play without having to use the Sheikah slate because I was able to exploit counters. In most cases I would rebind R to ZR and vice versa depending on how important it was for the character to have ZR, so I'd bind Impa to ZR and Link to R for example because shooting arrows, while helpful, isn't as good as Stasis. Zelda was the one character where I didn't need to constantly rebind my controllers, so I've got a soft spot for the slate moveset.
Zelda is easily one of my favorites, because she fits into my favorite overall warriors-playstyle, which I refer to as a "detonator"; characters centered around leaving behind something with their attacks, whether an object, status effect, or whatever, and then activating some ability at their location with the push of a button. Very technical characters to get the absolute most out of. Other examples I know of include Lana (tome) from the first Hyrule Warriors, Nami from Pirate Warriors 3, and Xun Yu from Warriors Orochi 4
Thank you so much for this! I just started playing and have really been struggling to force myself to play as Zelda to level her up because it felt so clunky compared to Link, Impa, and Mipha. Going to try some of this out!
Glad to see you active again, and holy crap Zelda’s slate moveset is amazing. Also appreciate the weapon builds, would love to see a whole weapon guide video from you some day
i'm just at chapter 4 so i haven't had zelda fight link to "defeat the miss vai contenders." that was all the motivation i needed to get out of bed each morning.
please keep them coming! I love watching these guides to optimise my gameplay. (plus i think teba is like one of the best chars, interested to see how you see him) Good shit my dood
I shall name this walking bomb thing from the bomb sheikha slate attack, *"BOB"*, (lol)! Also awesome video and have an amazing day! Me seeing that ancient overclock unit weapon has an ability to detect koroks: *WAAAAIIIIIIIT A MIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNUUUUUUUUUUTTEE* you mean to tell me I have been trying to find all of those little fellas only to learn that there was an ability on one of zeldas weapons that can help with that?!?! (Face palm in the face for which I did not know that)
Haven’t played the game yet (outside the demo)...but cannot wait! My son is getting it from his aunt for Xmas and I’m getting antsy to play it (we’ve completed almost all of Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition together, so I’m sure we will enjoy this one as well!
Can’t wait for you to make a 30 minute video going over all the ways to enter arrow time as link lol. Not even kidding, you can enter during the *tiny* hop Link does during the 3rd Y attack as well as the *even tinier* hop he does before a shield surf. Does a lot of weak point damage if you aim at an enemy’s head and also have midair attack damage up
I love using the sheikha slate. Glad someone’s showing off what can be done! Edit: okay, just finished the video. I used to think that Zelda was a unique, technical character that can be made viable. Now I guess she’s just totally OP. Nice!
Something of note is that being able to span so many bombs through her strong attacks and rume ability can absolutely wreak the limbs of Guardians and Stone Taluses, which interrupts their attacks and makes them really easy to handle
I might have to re start another game. I hate playing with Zelda but with your videos I am understanding more each character. I messed up 😛 but i am learning
I was looking forward to whenever you would start making character guide series for Age of Calamity. At my point I won't be playing more unless some DLC comes in as I finished every mission on very hard but I'm curious on the character nuances I may have missed out on since I focused on the same few characters for the most part (Link, Impa and Zelda's second weapon mainly, but also really liked Daruk and Sidon and reaaally am curious about the potential of Kohga as a big fan of the Yiga clan, I even cosplayed as a Yiga member as my first ever cosplay).
An important thing to note is that the Cryonis icicles do not stack on singular enemies, they have a fixed damage output, and there is no damage difference if you place a single one vs the whole barrage.
Thanks to your video, Zelda & her Slate shot up from being my 4th favorite to my absolute favorite and my strongest fighter lol A quick little thing you missed is that the Cryonis Blocks from her Strong Attack also function the same as the one from her second hit in her basic combo and the Sheikah Rune! though for Molduga (and probably some other large boss monsters), you have to manually detonate them with ZR for them to work
wait, are you talking about her "ice mines" from her C1?, I never had to activate those for the counters, I just let the enemy touch them, specially with lynels, whenever I could I just laid those mines in case they used they're dash, never failed
Probably their hitbox, though I don't knpw personally. For Moldugas, whenever I had to an ice counter I was always relatively close to their face (too close and you get damaged at the same time its countered). Also stayed extremely still the moment I laid the ice, since the molduga dash "homes" on you, there were times I moved and the molduga somehow evaded all ice blocks
It honestly feels like Zelda's just randomly throwing out different runes at her opponent hoping to god they might work and they, by random chance, just happen to synergize perfectly. like, I can just hear her yelling "Random Bullshit!!! GO!!!!!!" and I love that.

I feel like koshia or terrako might come a bit ealier than kohga.
Khoga is easy to master in my books same went for zant in the of hyrule warriors
I mean for kohga his rolling strong attack is just broken so just spam that if need be
Can open a weak spot without the enemy even attacking
Rule 1 of Khoga, never eat the banana
I knew people were sleeping on her Sheikah Slate abilities. This video just justified my love for her lol

Zelda (With Light Arrows): "I must protect everyone!"
Zelda (With Sheikah Slate): "RANDOM BULLSHIT GO!"
This is amazing. In my whole playthrough I didn't even notice Zelda's unique action and its power.
Her bomb combo extended once can actually force Taluses into their downed state by destroying their arms, and then you can stasis them and do whatever else.
As soon as I got the two sheikah rune damage meals, I went “hmmm, does that include zeldas normal attacks?” so I proceeded to do the next story mission that requires her, and HOOLLLY-
I was just messing around when I found out her basic attacks act as sheikah runes, but I didn’t know about the magnesis trick, that’s cool. 🙃
Thanks to this guide solely, I actually started using Zelda more.
Loving these guides
If and when you do her bow, can you do a pros/cons comparison between both her weapon types?
I would like to see that as well. Same with other characters that have multiple weapon types like Link
And multiple movesets like Rhoam’s guises
wow shes so much better than all existing guides say... +++ to you for taking the time to learn these little tricks/tips that make her that good
HOLY CRAP I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE MAGNESIS RUNE CRATE TRICK UNTIL NOW! I love the slate and have been able to get great results without this technique but holy moly this is truly a game changer.
This is one of my favourite movesets. It's silly looking but still super cool and effective.
Yeah, I’m using this to clear A Royal Investigation on Hard
Imagine being enough of a plebian to not play on very hard
I love the adenine pfp 😇
This is one of the most fun games I’ve ever played and Zelda is by far my main! Idk what it is about her play style that’s so satisfying to execute properly.
Despite initial looks with Slate's low quantity of moves, it's definitely among the most fun. So much utility.
She also has my favourite special.
I'll totally admit that I said the same thing about Zelda as Impa.
"This character looks really good if you spend the time to figure out how they work. I do not want to spend the time to figure out how they work."

I’m more excited for this series than I am for Christmas omg. Every video makes me want to play as that character

it also works to counter enemy special attacks as an alternate to cycling through her normal attack

I didn't have any idea that the Magnesis trick was a thing. It does give Zelda that Bonus Factor that she needed.
ABSOLUTELY EPIC VIDEO!!!!
This video is so amazing. Thank you!! Definitely changed my perspective on this playstyle!
I have a combo:
1-. Use Magnesis Rune
2-. Press X
3-. Then use Y - Y - X combo
4-. use ZR before the bomb is to far
Great guide, thank you so much
I love using the sheikha slate. Glad someone’s showing off what can be done!
Edit: okay, just finished the video. I used to think that Zelda was a unique, technical character that can be made viable. Now I guess she’s just totally OP. Nice!
Something of note is that being able to span so many bombs through her strong attacks and rume ability can absolutely wreak the limbs of Guardians and Stone Taluses, which interrupts their attacks and makes them really easy to handle
I might have to re start another game. I hate playing with Zelda but with your videos I am understanding more each character. I messed up 😛 but i am learning
I was looking forward to whenever you would start making character guide series for Age of Calamity. At my point I won't be playing more unless some DLC comes in as I finished every mission on very hard but I'm curious on the character nuances I may have missed out on since I focused on the same few characters for the most part (Link, Impa and Zelda's second weapon mainly, but also really liked Daruk and Sidon and reaaally am curious about the potential of Kohga as a big fan of the Yiga clan, I even cosplayed as a Yiga member as my first ever cosplay).
An important thing to note is that the Cryonis icicles do not stack on singular enemies, they have a fixed damage output, and there is no damage difference if you place a single one vs the whole barrage.
Thanks to your video, Zelda & her Slate shot up from being my 4th favorite to my absolute favorite and my strongest fighter lol
A quick little thing you missed is that the Cryonis Blocks from her Strong Attack also function the same as the one from her second hit in her basic combo and the Sheikah Rune! though for Molduga (and probably some other large boss monsters), you have to manually detonate them with ZR for them to work
wait, are you talking about her "ice mines" from her C1?, I never had to activate those for the counters, I just let the enemy touch them, specially with lynels, whenever I could I just laid those mines in case they used they're dash, never failed
yes, those
I've only had to manually detonate those against Moldugas, probably because of something with their hitbox?
Probably their hitbox, though I don't knpw personally.
For Moldugas, whenever I had to an ice counter I was always relatively close to their face (too close and you get damaged at the same time its countered).
Also stayed extremely still the moment I laid the ice, since the molduga dash "homes" on you, there were times I moved and the molduga somehow evaded all ice blocks
