The Legend Of Zelda - General Thread

In which part of the area, exactly?

Near the Temple of Time, I think.

The little meadow between the East Abbey and Old Man's house.

It's east of the Temple of Time and north of the old man's shack.

But seriously, that sounds like a super mean placement

Well you can just walk past them, Lynels are actually quite honorable, if they spot you and draw their weapon they won't actually attack you unless you

1.Start running away like a coward

2. Draw your Weapon

3. Get too close.

So just normally walk at a medium distance and they will let you pass.

I guess we have a challenge to surpass the "beat Ganon in your underwear" challenge now, though, considering how few weapons are available on the Plateau.

Yeah, I'm not sure if that's actually possible. The only way I can see you damaging it in an at least slightly consistent fashion using only means available to you before leaving the plateau is by swinging a metal crate around. Maybe.

I can't get the Hyrule Warriors rupee glitch to work.

You need to deplete a boss's health while the Weak Point Smash ring is visible, then turn around and let them die offscreen, right? I'm looking at some YouTube tutorials and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

The way I've always heard to get the glitch working is to use Lana on G5 and a Summoning Gate with Rupees+ and use the buffed Argorok summon to annihilate the crud out of Gohma. the glitch is caused by an underflow when Gohma dies and gives you Rupees, so I don't think dying offscreen has anything to do with it (but if everyone thinks it does, never hurts.)

I'm not sure about the exact mechanics behind what causes the underflow, though, nor am I of whether Summoning Gate is a necessity or if it's just there to speed up the process of actually triggering the glitch.

Lana with Summoning Gate is way too RNG-reliant.

This is generally agreed to be the most efficient method.

Do I need to use those specific moves to whittle down Gohma's health, or does it work the same as long as I kill her with a special attack?

At any rate, it looks like dying offscreen isn't necessary after all.

The Dark Link summon is just a really powerful way to deplete Gohma's health.

With the special attack, you want to catch as many normal enemies with it as possible. THAT's what causes the glitch, some kind of fuckery that occurs when normal enemies die at the same time as bosses.

The reason the glitch works is because, sometimes, when a boss dies your rupee count actually drops by about 200 before rapidly scaling up to however much the boss drops. If you're below that amount you'll go into the negatives, but the game interprets it as a very large number instead and caps out.

WHY this design choice was made is another matter, though.

If it never got patched out, it's a Good Bad Bug that even the devs liked?

"It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

I don't think that's a design choice. It's almost certainly a bug.

It's definitely a bug, it's just odd that the rupee total can underflow. I guess they didn't expect any scenario where rupees can be reduced mid-stage.

I would think that for a bug to emerge from rupees being reduced mid-battle, there would need to be some legitimate circumstance that could cause rupees to be reduced mid-battle.

That is actually the case.

They have those Rupee challenges where one side can steal rupees from the other. The catch is that you normally have enough rupees that the ones that get stolen aren't going to send you to the negatives.

I am dismayed to report that I don't have the Rupees+ skill on any of Cia's weapons.

I've basically lost myself in the world of Breath of the Wild. It's not a perfect game, not by any means, but it's certainly one of the best I've ever played.

I never understood the statement "It's not a perfect x" because that's just stating the obvious. Nothing's perfect so of course this thing isn't perfect.

The Protomen are perfect

Despite how hard it is to miss a giant glowing tower, I can't seem to find the Gerudo Highlands Tower. Where is it?

Just north of the area that Shrine you have to find in the middle of a sandstorm, and just southeast of the ninja hideout.
