Most people I know that have criticized BotW haven't tried actually playing with the physics engine itself. I thought it was a decent game just exploring, doing combat, and doing shrines... But my current playthrough, I'm actually learning the physics engine and implementing the mechanics/tricks available and it has become 10x more fun. Boomie zoomies are my personal favorite, I use them literally every chance I get. But the other tricks like BTBs, stasis launches, or heck even using octo balloons or korok leaves in combat-it is truly a versatile sandbox.
@@winterlogical cool! I gotta try the boomy zoomie thing. Honestly without the great physics this game would age like milk. It really made the game the more I think about it.
If you haven’t done eventide island yet, DO NOT try to keep your weapons by dropping them and picking them up after the quest triggers! Yes, you’ll be able to use them and it’ll make the quest easier, but when you finish it they will be taken away!
Don't be dumb like me and accidently throw the ball in the mud(Did this on my first playthrough). It will be like trying to roll out of a deep ditch. It's possible and time consuming, as you have to constantly stop time, and blast it out
I'm sure theyd think it's pretty cool and innovative how they'd do it, it would only suck if it was just like an easy glitch that everyone ended up doing, but this is just a fun way to do it
Only players who have mastered this game can do such a thing, and the overwhelming majority of those players completed the dungeon normally many times before
@@radlup1045 You have a lot of faith in Nintendo employees that hasn't historically been true. There is a 30% chance that if they were to re-release this in 2 decades they will patch everything he did out.
This might be irrelevant here but I felt pretty stupid after watching him take a boat to Eventide island when I used cryonis to slooooowly get all the way over there.
I was really hoping that, after he got the "I've returned your items" message he would step on the ground and the first "I've taken your items" message would play
Yeah me too, unfortunately it’s much easier in this context to just set a flag (1 or 0) for whether the shrine is complete or not, which is how they choose to show you the first message or not. Once that flag is set by unlocking the shrine, it won’t let you trigger the initial cutscene again
Actually, when he got the final orb in, the game triggered the "I've taken your items" message and gave him the quest right before giving them back and marking the quest complete. That was just edited out.
He would have been able to touch the ground after the shrine appeared, then, right? The quest was completed, so it wouldn't have triggered again. Or am I missing something?
BOTW Logic: Link: freezes something in time, hits it with bomb tipped arrows, and it goes 2 feet Also Link: Jumps on an enemy with a shield tied to his feet, goes halfway across the kingdom
And just pulling their hair out in frustration like "NO ONE'S BEEN HERE IN CENTURIES, I'M SO BORED, JUST TOUCH DOWN ALREADY YOU NAKED EGGHEAD SO I'LL HAVE SOMETHING TO DO"
I landed here when I had 5 hearts and still pretty new I suffered but the experience brought forth some outside the box thinking which paved the way of how I blast through the harder challenges later on
Imagine if you'd completed the quest, then the second you touched down it stripped your stuff and gave you the challenge, except now you can't complete the quest to get your stuff back.
