@@frankieventura8201most the cool stuff has already been found. Theres gonna be a few new techniques along the way but the meat and potatoes of what you can do in this game was honestly discovered in the first month.
It feels really broken at the Lomei labyrinths in the sky, you can just check your minimap to see where you're going and zoom around the place without worrying about falling
@@lukurd5923I just cheesed the sky labyrinth by flying to the top and making a travel point then just walking across the top and dropping down from above to the four points on the mini map. Then just travel to your point and repeat three more times then travel back to your point one more time to interact with the dragon terminal that unlocks the depths.
I have watched so many of these combat videos, but this is the first one I've seen that showcases techniques simple enough I might actually be able to do them 😂, AND gives a clear explanation. Great video!
@@drtoast3180 pretty decent, Inwteas of tryna just go for the big stunts straight away I’ve been tryna perfect every small thing so when I put it together it will be good
Another Construct strat that wasn’t pointed out here: when the construct flies up to become a big square in the sky, you can rewind one of the blocks he drops, then hop on and catch a ride up on the reversing block. There’s really no limit to all the options you have and fun stuff you can do lol
If it wasn’t a physics game they wouldn’t have given us the ability to build such cool things. I just hope the dlc adds more favorite slots for auto build. Adding contraptions to combat is so much fun
TotK has quite literally added a whole other dimension to combat, and I am all here for it If this is where combat is only about a month after the game's release, I *cannot* wait to see how crazy it gets in the future!!
I'm not that interested in all of those, but the pivot shield jump into rocket- and then bomb shield combo really has style to it and I'm going to use it. Thanks!
Of all things I actually really want to copy from other totk players, its the high level combat... Forget the vehicles and newly discovered glitches.. I want to be so badass I don't worry about having few resources entering into a battle
I love the full Glide Armor set. Obviously having no fall damage speaks for itself but Sky Mobility is a new element of the game that I can never utilize as much as I would like. I would love to see more fun/useful ways to use it.
@@Rightsideup23 I'm glad you mentioned that. I haven't touched the labyrinths yet until a few days ago. I'm sure I'm over 100 hours into this game. I was looking for things to do and randomly paraglided over to one. Did exactly as you were saying and spent way too much time flying around in the Glide Suit at ridiculous speeds just for fun. I really feel like there was wasted potential here. Glide Suit challenges in low gravity or something more that took you from the sky islands to the depths would have been so much fun.
Ok, I just got back into playing Zelda, so all of this is new to me. Had no idea about any of this....low-key this is pretty badass. Thanks for the uploads man
Hilarious way to beat lynels 🙃 Get a plus 3 attack boost, phantom ganon armour set, Royal guards claymore that's combined with a molduga jaw (with one hit away from braking) Then climb on the lynels back, and give it all the hits you can until u fall off. You can use any royal guards claymore, but the fixed ones are better Then, be immensely satisfied with what happens to the lynel 🙂
@@q.b.3828 they (depending on what type) get obliterated in around one combo while on their back. Silver and white maned lynels take a little more if your using a non-fixed royal guards claymore.
@@GURGLEGUY12345 haven't been there yet, but probably not. There is a broken one in zeldas room If you break it then you can get a fixed one in the usual depths areas from a wraith.
9:00 If you are struggling to get the bullet time (I sure was) make sure to press attack and L at the same time. Went from struggling to getting it every time.
Wow I have a lot of catching up to do, however once I get there the real fun begins! The Bomb shield BTB I discovered 10 hours into game play! It is so much fun! The orbiting keese eyes is intriguing! I shall experiment!
This kind of video reminds me of skate clips how every "tricks" on their own have to be masted and then put together for an amazing compilation props to you, def gives me more motivation to play the game and learn advanced combat techniques edit: and thanks for taking the time to explain in details !
At this point, it's just matter of time Max will do another Thunderclap Rush in ToTK, pair with all new trick from ToTK. Poor demon army will be decimated with style by lore accurate Link.
For the flux construct, when it gets super high, I typically just rewind the blocks it throws down while riding it. You can also use a bomb arrow to lower it and then use ascend. I prefer to not waste bomb flowers though if I can help it.
The combat in this is so unbelievably cool. And I loved the combat in botw even without knowing any special techniques. Thanks heaps for giving a tutorial on this! So awesome!
It was so well timed that I seriously thought that the ice projectiles where due to the earthwake technique on the moblin fight. I know it doesn't make sense but I thought maybe there was a quest to upgrade it
I will have to practice a thousand times to figure these out! I'm just not that coordinated. I admire your skill, but even your explanation makes my eyes cross! 😂😂
Keese orbiting is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I hope at some point a glitch is discovered that can attack multiple things to an arrow so we can have homing missiles
As a child of the 80s just learning to shield surf, who came for some tips, I think I know how that Lionel felt! :- ) wow. Great tips still. I'm gonna have to practice a LOT.
Yay. I’m a professional at combat and combat stylist , but do not know the stylish backwards shield surf. Pivot shield. All I need was that and some more…
Credit to GameSpot, this is one of your better videos. It's informative, not overly long, fun to watch, and you end on a positive note about the community aspect of the game. A+, no notes.
Man and here I thought I was cool with my forest dweller spear fused with a puffshroom then using a really high dmg weapon sneakstrike for hundreds to even thousands of dmg but this is imsane
If anyone has any additional questions, feel free to comment below, I can help answer a couple questions!
How did you get so good in such a short amount of time?
Hi Rin! Do you have a discord channel about all this amazing stuff?

My secret fighting technique is mashing the attack button, hoping the enemy will die before they counter attack
Yess, it's greatness I swear 😭👍🏾
That and just standing on a rock and shooting the with bomb arrows until you don’t hear them getting hit anymore
@@sammymuros3575 This makes me miss the bomb runes so much
It surprises me how many attacks dobt stun even small enemies like bokos, and they can still attack you through
I dodge then do that
By 2025 the combat in this game is gonna be unbelievable
Hopefully they create a gta version of it online

Yeah, I think that's the "intended" way to do it
Is that not the intended way?
@@Pigeon_loll I thought that was ascending through
@@-siranzalot- ive found that the ones you fight in places without a ceiling tend to be just a little to high to ascend to
@@-siranzalot-if its a flux construct 3 then it goes too high to ascend through
My main attack is y+y+y+y+y+y+y...
Simple yet effective. I Like it.
I thought this was an exploration game, not a physics and fighting game combo mastery exam.
e) All of the above 😂
You can play this game pretty much any way you want to, which is a big part of what makes it such a masterpiece
If it wasn’t a physics game they wouldn’t have given us the ability to build such cool things. I just hope the dlc adds more favorite slots for auto build. Adding contraptions to combat is so much fun
This is so awesome. Thank you for the breakdown.
I dont think i can do this by myself, but is beautiful to see.
I learned so much! The keese orbiting is insane!
I didn't know I needed an anime style missile swarm in my Zelda game, but I clearly I've been missing out.
This is so insane! Thank you for sharing all of this. I can't wait to try some of these moves!
TotK has quite literally added a whole other dimension to combat, and I am all here for it
If this is where combat is only about a month after the game's release, I *cannot* wait to see how crazy it gets in the future!!
sadly the game added new features to make stylish things but didn't really improve the botw combat system which is bad
Take a look on botw combat then see where we are
@@girahimar2122 Uh, how is the combat system bad? Just wanted to ask
@@ChaiGptea1010it isn't bad, it is just the same as before in BOTW which isn't great. That's what he is saying.
@@girahimar2122exactly, this guys seems to think that this combat system is not at all remotely similar to the combat system of BOTW.
I'm not that interested in all of those, but the pivot shield jump into rocket- and then bomb shield combo really has style to it and I'm going to use it. Thanks!
Thanks for the upload Max, love this kind of entertainment. You are just as clever and skilled at this as you were in BOTW, no surprises there! 👍
Phenomenal breakdown. Love your vids, Max!
Thanks to this video, I've created 2 small combat montages and am working on 1 against a lynel. Thank you this was a huge help
Of all things I actually really want to copy from other totk players, its the high level combat... Forget the vehicles and newly discovered glitches.. I want to be so badass I don't worry about having few resources entering into a battle
I knew the Demon Kings bow had something about it. I love that bow both aesthetically and it’s feel compared to others.
I love the full Glide Armor set. Obviously having no fall damage speaks for itself but Sky Mobility is a new element of the game that I can never utilize as much as I would like. I would love to see more fun/useful ways to use it.
Its so sad that they've developed these insane skydive mechanics, and did nothing with it :(
If you haven't yet done so, try using the full glide set in a sky labyrinth. Just zooming around with it in the updraft is a lot of fun!

dude the keese orbiting shot at 7:42 is so cool, the way the last one crit as well
All these high level techniques are so hard to pull off and you do them like second nature. Pure skill right there
I like this stuff as much as the next guy. But wouldn’t it be cooler if some of this stuff was more practical and baked into the game
Yep .. awesome combos are awesome, but when half of that combo is menuing it looses a lot of fun
Ok, I just got back into playing Zelda, so all of this is new to me. Had no idea about any of this....low-key this is pretty badass. Thanks for the uploads man
The time bombs you can attach to shields trick is really good even for me who is not as advanced! Thank you!

@@porgington8971 You need to break the decayed one in Zelda's room before they spawn in the Depths...?
Man, imagine if Nintendo took some of these dudes coming up with this crazy stuff and brought them in on the combat system for the next Zelda.
Man I had no idea this was possible 🤣 I'm over here just trying to stay alive when I confront lynels

In a game about creativity, it’s no wonder the most effective combat techniques are so creative and crazy
Clearest set of explanations I’ve seen. Thnx
I don't have very advanced techniques, so I think the shield block reset will be very useful. Great video, thanks!😁🤗
And I felt proud of myself for using recall on a freeze boomerang to hit an enemy twice in a row…
For the flux construct, when it gets super high, I typically just rewind the blocks it throws down while riding it. You can also use a bomb arrow to lower it and then use ascend. I prefer to not waste bomb flowers though if I can help it.
If we want to practice some of these tricks like the shield block reset, do you have any suggested enemies or locations to practice on/at?
Go to some of the NPCs in lookout landing that have weapons, like zora, attack them. They'll attack back with no damage
@@wrefknice thanks! Do you also not harm them?
@@davidmorris8319 no damage possible to npcs
This is freakin' crazy. I love it. I'm going to be practicing this stuff tonight. thanks

Great content as always.
great video more high level combat breakdowns plz!
that moment when the gaming journalist is actually cracked at the game
You dudes are playing a totally different game to me! Amazing
And here I am running up to mobs and bonking them on the head with a club
Although i dont think I'd be able to play like this, but still enjoying watching the explanation!
This is more exciting than learning ssbu combos, and I spent years on that
Thank you 🙏🏻 now we can all play as lore accurate Link
Wow, I always learn a lot from you Max! Now to put it to practice! Thank you for your wisdom!
That intro lagged my phone so bad it buffered for 2 minutes
FINALLY an explaination to some of this stuff!
It was so well timed that I seriously thought that the ice projectiles where due to the earthwake technique on the moblin fight. I know it doesn't make sense but I thought maybe there was a quest to upgrade it
I was playing tears of the kingdom while listening to this, as as he said earthquake technique, a yiga blademaster spawned!
Thank you for your thorough break down. Awesome combat!
Thank you for explaining! I really want to try all of them :D
I will have to practice a thousand times to figure these out! I'm just not that coordinated. I admire your skill, but even your explanation makes my eyes cross! 😂😂
I love how unnecessary all of this is 😅
Good job man!!! This is awesome. You are amazing at this game!!
One of the best tutorail that I have seen
Upon discovering this video, i have came to the conclusion that I am competent at best when it comes to this game.
Keese orbiting is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. I hope at some point a glitch is discovered that can attack multiple things to an arrow so we can have homing missiles
As a child of the 80s just learning to shield surf, who came for some tips, I think I know how that Lionel felt! :- ) wow. Great tips still. I'm gonna have to practice a LOT.
my head is spinning after watching this
Thus I start my journey into lore accuracy
The orbit vollies are explosively awesome!
combat has become my favorite part in BotW and TotK. Would love to see more videos on this!
Nice video, I learned how to pivot shield jump
Im glad to see TOTK carries on the BOTW Tradition of people finding ways to turn the game into Devil May Cry
The multi shot arrows was insane
I wish this game had an invasion system like the souls series, pvp would be amazing
that entire video was SO badass
The keese orbiting is next level....
This melted my 7 heart Link's brain...
Make a video on how to parry and perfect dodge every attack from every enemy in the game😳
I love how absolutely extra the advanced combat in this game is. Like bruh yall make fighting a red bokoblin look hard.(Not in a bad way)
Hands down the best guide
and when i thought me doing flurry rush and shield parry made me a master in combat
And here I can't even get the timing/button sequence down for parries or perfect dodge/fury rush.
3:15 POV: I throw rock at little Hylian, **half a split sec later** I’m blind and he’s doing a back flip in the air.
Hey! Great video, may I ask, how do you have multiple master swords?
Yay. I’m a professional at combat and combat stylist , but do not know the stylish backwards shield surf.

Cool techniques, but I have a pressing concern: you haven't gotten a picture of a Lynel yet??
I can’t tell if this is useful, impractical, flashy or just plain overkill or all of the above. It’s all interesting though.
it's completely overkill for the sake of being overkill, but it's also fun so you might aswell
It's everything but the first one, which is why a lot of us find it fun lol
What? Low gravity areas?! Wow... I've been playing since launch and I'm just now learning that there are low gravity areas?
So trying this. It may take a long while but this is is like the coolest aerial kunk fu skydiving. What controllers you use?
2:01 for this cube monster I use ultra hand skill to pull that glowing cube. it shreds immediately
Bro the movement is amazing holy heck
Gah dayum. And here I am spending hours just trying to get my timing down so I can reliably flurry rush.
My man found his Devil May Cry 6.
To be honest I wouldn't describe it as "high-level" as much as I would technically impressive and flashy. Very good playing tho
Great tips, thanks!
The biggest buff to speedrunner link known to man

0:40 u can shield surf while paragliding? so ZL + A while paragliding and the cannon will point downward?
while me: roaming around with a rock attached to a sword. 😥
My eyes couldn't even keep up 😂
They even got names for these moves like a fighting game
