hello thank you for saving the breadpirate channel
NOTLAGIA OVERLOAD I WENT TRHOUGH EVERYONE OF THOSE STAGES AHHHHHHHHHHHHH maybe i should start playing again i a;ready preorrdered tears of the kingdom lol
@Liam Landeros bruh u already pre ordered it 💀💀💀
Hi, I have a question, I let a boko hit my shield and then TCR but when I do the double jump it doesn't work why (it shows that I can attack but I press y and link doesn't dash toward the boko)
Do you watch shadowdestiny
I feel like there should've been another stage called "The Scaredy-Cat" because when I got off the great plateau I was terrified of EVERYTHING. I met my first yiga clan member and didn't trust anyone else for weeks. 😂😂😂
Same🤣🤣
Well, that just makes having courage all the more rewarding, ergo making the experience ALL the more enjoyable! I still remember Wind Waker. Honestly I was blessed to have such a fitting protagonist.
Same bro😂
for real!!! I even thought the Zoras were monsters or yigas in another type of costume 👩🦲
Even till now when I see a stable in the dark I'm like "monster camp! Run!"
In Kakariko Village, I always took the apples in front of the statues for free food. At some point later, I decided to put an apple on the plate that didn't have one, and then a Korok appeared in front of me, which caught me off-guard. That was a nice discovery.
I do it all the time, it's a good way to farm apples
Me to all the time I’m a sage and I remember all thes stages
me to
I found this last week and im still shocked cause i have over 300+ koroks and I always run at these small statues and be like hey free apples
That and the matching the apples on the tree got me good
There's the "Hiker" stage too, namely after you've done everything there is to do. I just walked around constantly after 100%, taking in the sights, using the game as ASMR, casually starting fights with monsters, wearing my best looking outfits, etc. Even at this stage, the game is a blast
I love this stage lol. But eventually I moved on to the final stage of my playing so far; the speedrun stage
I'm literally just now getting into botw. Out of curiosity since your comment is only a few months old, are you still enjoying this game even though TOTK is out now?
@Kastor0311 BOTW is much more organic, if that makes any sense, so it is still pretty enjoyable to pick up and play. TOTK is definitely more fun to just screw around in. I love them both for different reasons. The hiker stage is certainly less prominent in TOTK
@@bagenskiii8376 ok cool that's good to know. I'll get around to tears eventually, I'm still pretty early in breath, only just 2 divine beasts done
@Kastor0311 enjoy it man! It's one hell of a game
You should have a stage dedicated to just exploring the map and admiring its beauty. I remember seeing the dragons for the first time sitting un awe for a fat minute.
BotW has DRAGONS?! How have I not seen these yet?
@@CLArden bro, you serious? theyre hard to miss. Their names are farosh, dinraal and naydra
@@callnight1441 Tbh I never explored the far reaches of Hyrule. Actually got BotW same day I got TotK. So I really just did BotW main story, and then went to TotK. But now imma go search. No one tell me. I want to feel the shock of finding one.
@@CLArdenWere you able to find one?
@@Thsiscool Been to busy to play but was actually just about to hop on and search. I'll let u know how it goes.
The most shocking part is, that once Totk releases… everyone regardless of stage will return to Stage 1
FACTS!! I have played skyward sword and so many zeldas and I even have a (close to) world record speedrun in zelda skyward sword, so i was expecting breath of the wild to be SO EASY. Boy was I wrong, it's just not the same!
How is that shocking?
nah i think we will start at stage 2
I’ll do all the stages and be hyped the entire way just waiting for dlc already lol
@@Blaze-ut5vl The DLC is really fun I recommend it
There's also the secret bonus stage: The Collector. The collector has gotten everything unique that they can in the game and generally avoids combat, to avoid tarnishing their sparkly weapons with max modifiers
Do you ever get Collecter's Anxiety?
And then they realize they forgot to take a picture of two things on the hyrule compendium and they permanently don’t respawn.
This is me
Finally one that describes me
that was me. painfully me.
There should be a horse enthusiast phase were you just ride around on your horse killing and exploring everything in your path, somehow ending up getting a lot done
The thing is if you place the horse enthusiast way then the list here won’t add up. When you ride around and explore you never have to grind and you end up getting the hearts one by one as you visit shrines. This list sounds more of someone playing the game for the second time.
My stage 6 was: The purge Once I learned the attack patterns of Lynels, I started killing them on mass. I also quickly discoved the power of riding a horse when fighting a Hinox, and started murdering every guardian I could when I got the master sword. Lol
the good thing about botw was the bloodmoons so that you can just continue improving and mastering combat skills without the worry of running out of enemies
Yeah I remember that stage, it was my stage two in game. I spawned in and enjoyed the beginning only to seek absolute chaos after unlocking the bombs. Loved having my go away I'm taking your weapon buttons. Lynels though we're always my favorite. I got my ass kicked at first, but they got easier every fight.
I’m on stage 6 and I’m still avoiding enemies if possible. I cannot seems to figure out how to defeat them without almost dying
@@Nadia-ox1kf I suggest holding up a shield while you learn how to dodge enemies attacks so that you don't take damage if my make a mistake, and get to damage the enemy when you succeed. This is very affective on lynels. When fighting a hinox, use a spear or two-handed weapon while on horseback. You deal double damage with every hit, and don't get caught underfoot. You don't even have to stear the horse really; just lock on and the horse automatically circles back around for you. With a guardian, use a horse to get close quickly. Then start taking out the legs. You temporarily stun them when you destroy a leg. Once you destroy all the legs, attack the main body. I've found that I've had more success with the master sword. Hopefully this helps a bit in your breath of the wild play through. These techniques aren't as effective in tears of the kingdom, though.
en masse
These stages are very accurate and I like the fact that botw lets you do most of them in a different order
Lmaooo. Start as a sage, end as a beginner 🥴💀
@@tubax926 "most of them"
@@blackdragon29076 thanks bro you're fun at parties
@@tubax926 saying it like you are💀
@@RvedePrime 😂😂 see the fact that you attack someone for no reason also makes you unfun at parties. Be lax bro, life has way more to offer.
For me, stage 7 happened before stage 6. I wanted to have everything done before ganon (except for the sidequests and koroks (only bored masochists hunt them)) and in my first playthrough i didn't know that there was a secret ending scene.
There's a secret ending scene? what's different from normal and how do you get it?
@@johnalexanderaylward when you saw every memory, there is a short extra scene after the credits
@@kazuyazynoha8661 Oh wow, I've always gotten every memory so I didn't realize there was a secret. Now I have to find the normal ending. Thanks!
@@johnalexanderaylward No! The ending itself doesn't really change, there is just a little extra scene added after the credits.
@@kazuyazynoha8661 ooohhhhhh ok, ty again
I bought BOTW this year (since I just got a switch) & I did everything first (unlocking all shrines, giant fairies, divine beasts, DLC etc. except all Koroks) before fighting Ganon. I felt like it prepped me a little better & made the fight easier. I truly loved this game & can’t wait to take on Master Mode!
If you beat botw you should play totk
You WAY over-prepared for the calamity Ganon fight. It's easier than all four blights in my opinion. Felt so disappointed with that boss, it was hyped up as this ultimate evil for the whole game and then I got there and smacked it around like a bouncy ball.
@@v4n1ty92I've beaten over 100 shrines, explored everything I came across and still have two regions left to complete before I even think about stepping foot into the castle 😅 guess that's just the way I'm used to playing Zelda games
@@MsPeanutzzz well you're better off doing that because you might be really dissapointed once you beat ganon , I won't say he's easy but he's unfortunately not random ( he has attack paterns) and that really makes the fight too easy once you learn them
@@gaspirou6031 yeah I was def way over prepared for that last battle. Finishing up my last side quests and shrines was a lot more entertaining. Have started totk a few days ago so I guess I'm in for another challenge
I myself had the weird experience of fighting the first Lynel on my beginner stage. I started by the Zora domain beast and didn't really know how to really sneak to get the thunder arrows so...i fought it. Took me 1 hour, but i managed to get that freaking beast down. Very satisfying. Strangely harder than the Ganon forms in the beasts.
Same, so when I later encountered my first silver Lynel I was very shocked with the spike in difficulty, not even knowing the difference
@@royaltinman2226 at first lynels felt like an undefeatable enemy but now they are just really easy. i think ive died more to a horde of bokoblins than lynels
my lynel experience is too easy, i went from struggling with red lynel to destroying a white savage lynel
When I first saw that Lynel, I was just sneaking around, but I wasn't taking the thing as a threat. It wasn't until I got bored sneaking that I fought the thing, and it went from Zelda to Dark Souls real quick, dodging like crazy and not doing nearly anything in damage. After three times dying, I went back to sneaking, and watched it's awareness meter like I was in a horror game.
I just realized how amazing defeating a Lynel is at knight stage, the adrenaline during the fight was unforgettable feels like you met your archnemesis
I beat him with 6 hearts! I died a lot but now I know their attack patterns like that back of my hand
@@darkimperial007I play soulsbourne games and just started Botw.I went to Zora domain and then tried out the Lynel boss and died like 20 times😢
when i was at the beginer stage my brother did a glich and i had the master sword at 5 hearts
Yeah after playing the game a couple times, you can really just beat the red Linel without taking damage
Who can beat 2silver lynels in a row with like 13or so hearts and a 30damage master sword and an army of bomb arrows
For me, this happened between stages 2 and 3. I wouldn't go ANYWHERE NEAR Hyrule Castle. The place scared the crap outta me. 😅
I climbed on Towers and looked where Guardians were to avoid them and sneak into to the Castle! Jumped when the Cutscene with Ganon roaring played, the first time you enter Castle grounds. I thought he had automatically spotted me and sent all enemies my way!
I remember earlier in the game, I was terrified of the castle and I decided to try to explore it for some dumbass reason and I managed to get to the top of the highest spire and find a korok lol
i was dumb and kept trying to parry a guardian laser with a pot lid bc i saw someone else do it
I just sneaked my way there early game
Early game I was terrified of Hyrule Castle too but when I was traveling to Eldin canyon, curiosity got the best of me... so I went to the castle and got in a troubling guardian situation 💀 Even if it did scare me, I kept coming back to it several times throughout my journey in the game cuz I love the thrill of escaping many monsters 🤷♂️
I unlocked all the memories my first playthrough and didn't even realize until now that that cutscene was special.
I did the same, as when Impa told you to get the memories I just looked up a guide.
Same
@@lynnh.3367there is also a painter in the game who can tell you where the memories are. Makes the game more immersive to get the clues and find the places yourself.
I had prioritized getting the Memories and Divine Beasts (Main Story) before doing much of anything else in the way of exploring, so I did most of my actual exploring late in the game. I didn't even get my first horse until close to the final battle! Amazing how the game experience truly changes based on how story- vs. exploration- vs. grind-oriented you are.
It does make such a difference. My thought process was how would link have naturally went about this. And of course he would get a horse and go city by city slowly getting material, shrines and memories and he went. If I had to play like you did I would get bored so quickly. 😅 I cannot grind.
I went to Kakariko Village from the opposite direction, so I never discovered Hestu, and went the whole game without upgraded weapons. I also rushed all the memories, but didn't realize I needed to talk to Impa and get the Champion's tunic. My friends never understood why I was like, guys this is such a hard game, I'm stuggling. After I beat Ganon, I was walking down the road and found Hestu. I've never sobbed as hard since 😂😭😭
On my first playthrough It took me longer than it should have to learn you can by armor--which made the early game extra scary. I call this stage Naked and Afraid
For my first experience with a guardian I didn't know it was a enemy. I thought finally something that doesn't try to kill me, all the bear is doing is using his lazier to help me see in this dark shrine. And then I was betrayed.

I remember playing botw to death during the 5th grade. I got all the towers and shrines and armor. I also completed the Champion's Ballad( I never completed the mastersword trials becauseitwas too hard for my 5th grade ass). After playing totk for a bit, I decided to go back and see what my progress was back then. With over 150 of playtime, I had only %28.8 progress. Damn.
I started playing in 3rd grade (I’m pretty sure, if not the very end of 2nd grade) and I have over 450 hours of playtime on it, i still randomly remember it and come back to the game every once in a while but right now I’m focused on getting through AOT cause I’ve had it ever since it released.
6:29 MADE IN HEAVEN!!!! TIME ACCELERATES ONCE MORE!!! UNDERSTAND YOUR USELESS POSITION, GANNON, AGAINST MY INCREDIBLE PURPOSE!!!!!
As soon as I got out of the intro... I explored and activated all the towers with basic gear. I wanted to explore and spent a lot of time stealthing & finding creative way of getting around the map with little to none of the assist items. I will never forget that feeling, but I did not even bother with hearts, only stamina. Super nice to see how others played early on :)
So did you rely just on tons of food to get through the extreme places? I can see how it changes the pace when you can just put on a different shirt or hat and suddenly the extreme heat/cold is no problem, as opposed to closely watching that time limit and rushing for your goal. Personally I love getting all the random equipment and switching based on the situation, then adding food/potions as necessary. Even if it's a little silly for Link to change his pants while hanging off of a sheer cliff-side.
@@ARUCARDFTEPES am taking a similar route in my first playthrough, and I don't know yet. The one frozen place, I did, and then I fell in love with the cooking system and I haven't had problems with temperature yet. I expect that to change
@@TheStarMachine2000 Yeah, when I started I kept going back to town just trying different recipes. It's almost like the gambler's high when you hear that special tone and go "ooooh, what's it gonna be?!?" Just the time limit would destroy my nerves though, I had a rough time in the deep desert without equipment.
For everyone commenting. The main goal in the Great Plateau was to activate the tower in order to get out. My mind was set on activating all the towers, no matter what the costs were. Unless I stumbled upon a piece of clothing, it was all trail and error. I did not even think to cook special foods so my inventory was ridiculous and I just sneaked around A LOT & avoided the enemies. Not to mention, random deaths
I smashed out all the towers (and did every shrine I saw along the way) as soon as I got off the plateau too, by the time I gotten to kakariko village, my map was complete and had plenty of spirit orbs to spend. avoid strong enemies and make stamina food to climb, ezpz
The completionist. The hardest stage to happen… After realizing there is more to the game, they collect everything.
Hey guys, PointCrow here... Do you ever get collector's anxiety in open-world RPG games ?
@@raviolithebest8644 I remember that line from PointCrow!
Walking around, trying to investigate and looking for anything that looks like it may be a korok puzzle is so much fun just in itself. Because the surroundings and scenery of Hyrule is soo pretty
I just started BOTW a couple days ago. I can say based off this I’ve completed phase 1-3 at the same time. I am a huge Genshin Impact player so when I started this game I did all the things I wish I did when I started playing when Genshin first came out. I focused on getting the glider first so I could unlock farther areas, proceeded to travel anywhere I could touch, bought armor on the second day and basically just traveled and collected resources to upgrade everything so I could explore more. I even stumbled upon my first divine beast quest and got Mipha’s grace (which helped a lot with not dying in dangerous places). Registered my first horse and among other things. I just find in funny that because of failed experiences in Genshin, I was able to kind of speed run the first three stages and enjoy the game a lot more. This is not to say that the games are exactly the same but the similarities between the two helped me play BOTW more efficiently.
BONUS STAGES! (Like my comment on one particular video...) 11: The need for immersion. The player at this point wants to have an immersive experience with the world around them, whether that is dressing up and using only a specific culture's weapons. They want to claim land outside of their house. They want to be part of that world that they had a great adventure in. 12: The need for challenge. Although the player has mastered pretty much everything at this point, there is always room for improvement. They may want to find hidden ways to deal with frequent problems in hopes that it could be made fun. They may want to take on the challenge of being a complete sharpshooter, a sniper, if you will. The opportunities are all around you. 13: Burnout. This happens to a lot of people. They suddenly find themselves out of things to do and they want to take some time away from the game. However, they will almost always find themselves crawling back to the game sooner or later. For some people, they seem to never have this stage and I am still wondering to this day how they do it. 14: Starving for Tears of the Kingdom. This stage is the one that most players are in right now. With the game's release on the horizon, players are ready to have a fun time like they did this game. Many assets that they enjoyed will remain the same, but the feeling of new discoveries will be all over the place. I have no doubt in my mind that this may be the the best moment for someone in their entire life-not even exaggerating.
All of these stages make a good point
@@hunterberry4709 yes but it’s also kinda the meaning of the sage stage
also lynel hunting stage
No one else ever has #13?!?!
I haven't played Breath of the Wild in quite a long time now, I haven't played at all this year and I'm not sure when I stopped playing last year lol
You forgot the disappointment phase, the ganon boss was way too easy for all the stuffs that we prepared to fight.
fr i went in to test it out while i was grinding and ended up just beating it out of nowhere
Not the only one like I prepped 2 GODMEALS with full heal and 20 extra hearts LOL
For me who is not playing souls like but casual games or moba this fight was still hard even witch all four ancient beasts
@@adamc4640 its literally impossible to die in BOTW… you have infinite regeneration power at will. And if you were unlucky enough to get one shoted, the fairies will revive you each time. Makes the game boring and takes the sense of dange pr away. Thats why you beat the game by “testing it”.
Not me preparing to fight the strongest enemy in the game, thinking its Ganon. only to not remotely get close to dying and literally didn't have to use any items i saved for the fight..... I'm hoping the final boss of TOTK is better than Calamity ganon.
I feel like everyone relates to the great plateau stages. 🤣 What a great and entertaining video keep up the good work!
I always told myself that to "complete" the game fully for me was to complete all 120 shrines and get the Wild armor set. After almost 5 years, I have finally completed my 120th shrine and can finally say "I'm ready for TOTK!!" I don't know any of you guys but I will always be thankful to be part of the Breath of the Wild community.
Which was your last (basegame) Shrine? Mine is always Rona Kachta since it seems to be the intended last one.
five yrs!?
@@brianbatoosingh928 yup, I got the game for Christmas in 2019
@@xinpingdonohoe3978 shee vaneth was my last one.
I’ve been playing this game basically since release. i’m still in the knight phase. I’ve only defeated one divine beast, and have never even approached Hyrule Castle. The reason is because I just play this game by running around on my horse, killing every monster camp in sight, and just having fun. That’s really just how I like to play games in general.
Same. I’ve got three divine beast but I’m terrified to go to hyrule castle. I just really like exploring.
@@Obby004got my Switch a week ago and there's just way too many shrines and just looking at that elepgant divine beat dungeon on KZhead gives me a headache. I prefer just riding around my horse but then I feel guilty because I like completing games
@@naylisyazwina6836don’t feel guilty! Everyone does it in their own time, I’ve had the game for nearly a year and haven’t even defeated the first divine beast yet. I’ve just been playing every now and then and making little dents where I can. It’s one of those games where you just have to really enjoy it and take it slow to make the most out of it!
@@catbarr924 so I've been playing for 2 weeks now and I'm REALLY enjoying the game but only after I let go of the shrines and not trying to do every one I see. I've done around 20 - 25 shrines and don't plan to do any more. I have 5 hearts and 2 stamina wheels. I got the Master Sword from a glitch. I snuck into Hyrule Castle and got good gear, took down some enemies and defeated the mini boss to get the Hylian Shield with no glitches. Bought the house and it is fully finished with all the furniture inside. I got all the memories, last one was in Hyrule Castle. Needed a youtube guide to sneak my way to the memory. Got the DLC horse saddle so my horse can teleport wherever I am. I don't think I ever plan on completing the divine beast dungeons. I just take them down but not the puzzle/dungeon part of it. Also not going anywhere near the volcano area meaning I would never take down all the divine beasts but I've come to terms with it. I might try and find all the Korok seeds that are not in the volcano area because I like exploring. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'll be exploring Geruda and doing quests there and take down the camel divine beast but not doing the dungeon. Just making it stop moving like what I did with the elephant and bird one
@@catbarr924 I got the master sword 2 days ago by using the glitch so it's not like I've been overpowered for very long hahah but it's really nice when you have your own house in the game. I love the style of Link's house, like old or medieval. Wooden. I don't like modern looking houses
As in my beginner stage, I can say that the first place I got after getting the paraglider was the Zoras domain😃 I still didn’t know how to use the Sheika slate so I just somehow climbed my way there 😭😭😭
I did the same thing. I was trying to get to impa but a bunch of zoras just kept telling me to go meet with their prince so I was like uhhh okay?
I did the same thing, I was very close to destroying my controllers due to the rain
Bruh did y’all not follow the old man’s instructions
@@user-gq6nj6yp5sno???? fuck that guy who does he think he is???
It's fun to watch videos like this to see how different everyones experience was, for me, as soon as I got off the great plateau, I immediately went to the castle and basically lived in the walls of that place, killing everything there and getting some great weapons, mastering the combat. Once I had done everything there other than Ganon, I went and just explored everywhere. I think that unlocking the house was one of the last things I did in the game, after even DLC.
After I got to Zora's Domain I pretty much stopped following the main quests and just did side quests in villages, too scared to do anything else. This makes me want to start playing again but actually learn to fight so that I can accomplish more!
You should've added the costume stage. A stage where the player tries to max out every set of armour and collect all the weapons that go with the set.
Haha I can remember the beginning of my costume stage, I only have one or two sets left to max out now and my personal favorite is the maxed out stealth set.
lol, i was at like stage 8 just replaying. absolutely blitzing through master mode with tons of glitches (windbombs are SO useful) and using them wherever applicable, avoiding divine beasts (dont ask idk why) and just going full side quest mode lmao
I started this game 3 weeks ago and im in The Hero stage with 75 hours of gameplay. I already beat Ganon but like the video said, there’s so much more to do. I already unlocked the whole map, but i got a lot more shrines, side quests, koroks, and areas to explore
Timestamps for those who want to see a specific part: Stage One: SleepyHead 1:18 Stage Two: The Beginner 2:11 Stage Three: The Knight 2:57 Stage Four: The Grind 3:40 Stage Five: Massive Progress 4:16 Stage Six: The Hero 4:43 Stage Seven: The Guard 5:37 Stage Eight: Power Hungry 6:25 Stage Nine: DLC 7:06 Stage Ten: The Sage 8:03
I cant stop thinking about how this video is really pointing out every accept of the journey of everyone in botw Even for some ppl some stages we're in a different order Keep the good work L, this video is great
Thank you!
@@Little_L no, thank you for making this channel and videos
I remember grinding and finally feeling the joy of getting the whole map and defeating guardians with ease
Very cool Video! Well done i like the various stage... i'm into the DLC phase now XD
For me stages 3,4 and 5 were mixed together wich was good and bad because in some areas I was completely undergeared, but I also got a lot of gear very fast and was constantly searching for shrines to unlock the master sword.
I just loved this "4th" person perspective of the videos, where Link's isn't anchored! I'd love if you can make one of this kind showing in real time how bullet time hits would seen from outside! I'm wondering how fast Link can be in the enemies perspective!
I finished BOTW today and at the end I was like huh, a second fight against Ganon? Finished it too, cutscene and then tf. Amazing game ❤
Great a video! Well thought out, well worded. You have a pleasant voice and speaking mannerisms. Keep at it and you can definitely take your channel to the next level. If you ever need someone to write something for you or to go over stuff you have written (like a script for your video) I would be more than happy to help.
I didn't even know it was a secret ending, I just collected the memories every time I played.
I’m at stage 8 or 9- I’m currently going through a full story run without any armor or hearts whatsoever. This play through has been instrumental for my combat skill development. I even beat the shatter back lynel before my first beast! I believe that I will reach the sage when I finish
Classic! I really do wish that there was some after game ending changes to the game.....even a small one like hyrule castle being repaired or something idk. Just feels sad when NOTHING happens
spot on i went through most of the stages and i also beat ganon when i was six and was shel shocked that NOTHING happened so i jus started playing as much as i could then got the dlc and i was sooooo happy
The fight against Dark Beast Ganon putting me on a horse was actually the first time I'd been on a horse my whole first playthrough.. Not me trying to learn the horse controls while tackling the final boss 😂
U don’t do side quests? Multiple of them require horses
@@Samgotboredd a lot dont, either, like cooking with koko, or the one where you have to kill the various bokoblins on horses patrolling the stable (just shoot them in the face, the fight them in hand-to-hand combat)
@Sam got bored Well I eventually got around to 100%ing the game and doing all the side quests, but my first go round with the final boss saw me on a horse for the first time.. I avoided seeing any gameplay of the game outside my own, and for some unknown reason, I didn't even think to try to ride one
Thanks to my buddy playing it first. I did know about the master sword 13 hearts, so my first thing after the sleepy head, was the world tourist. Just going around, climbing towers, doing shrines. Mostly running from enemies until I was stronger or found gear.
The second I got off the great plateau, I went to impa, got my camera rune and began my, “solid snake/Tenchu” phase. I had to sneak around a lot and my goal was to activate ALL of the towers before doing anything else. It was nerve racking but I did it and it makes the rest of the game way more enjoyable for me.
I never saw what you considered the "grind phase", I saw a pleasant and tranquil exploration experience that rewarded me the more out-of-the-box I thought and I found I was frequently prepared for most encounters, I can see that being a grind in some eyes but I always found it to be a good way to subvert the idea of a grind
When I first left the Plateau, I was playing with a friend who had already 100%ed the game so what we did was we picked up some swords and went straight to the castle, where we were able to get some top tier weapons. It was very fun bc I kept dying to fall damage and stuff and we had a great time.
There is a multiplayer option?
there should be a stage called "curiosity killed the hero" istg i go through all places there is unimaginable, i'd climb through the highest peak for curiosity in what there is above and below, buuuttttt then you'd end up dying from being a little too curious and either die from falling or die from too much health drained by the enemy lolz oh and another stage called "huh....." that's for literally finding ganon so easy to fight against, the devine beast monsters were WAY harder than ganon if im being honest, only did one try and ganon was a piece of cake... until the sudden game ending exit caught me offguard good video btw
This may be my 1st Zelda game , but not my 1st RPG , so I quickly realized the use of stamina and upgraded it 1st untill I randomly found the Master sword , went through grinding pase and also upgraded master sword to the max just after getting it , but only thing I missed was the 4th great fairy , I had to complete about half of the game with 3star armors
These stages reflected me so well this game is a big piece in my childhood
How, this is pretty much the exact way my time on BOTW went... Amazing!
6:00 I FEEL YOU BRO everytime in totk they play the original theme i get goosebumps
You did it you made me cry guess memorys are the strongest weapon in the world. Thanks you for making me remember everything after 5 years or more of playing this game
The video quality is insane! Definitely one of the best botw videos I’ve ever watched
Wow, thanks!
I thought Ganon was gonna be so hard I even started to fight lynels before going 😂
Same
I’ve always played the old zelda games like zelda one and zelda 2 on the nes and a link to the past and the game boy games so I didn’t know you could actually could go to the volcano (death mountain) i was in awe when i saw it get closer and closer
This is so accurate😂 I'm at the Knight stage, and Botw is my first zelda game, I'm having so much fun, I haven't had this much fun playing a game in a while
I would say this vid was a little long but it was on point and good! Great job Little_L
yeah I was going for a longer form video
video actually starts at 1:16
I was definitely a Stage 2- At the time I left The Great Plateau- I decided to find more shrines and explore more of Hyrule's mysteries- I talked with NPCs, and one of them told me about Guardian Stalkers- I still had a job to do- and I went to the Dueling Peaks Tower and gotten the Regional map- Then- it was on my way to Kakariko Village to learn more lore. I NEVER forgot how much wonder this game had- and I can't wait for what tears of the Kingdom await!
I love the goody little jojo reference at 6:30 , it made me bust out laughing when I saw it
For the stage before you defeat ganon I wanted there to be a collecter who only bought the house and grabbed all the champions weapons (including the ceremonial trident) just to fully max out the house to put the on display and ONLY using them on the ganon fight!
I have all the Champion's weapons on display, except I might possibly have Revali's bow out
Your channel has improved so well! Keep up the good work! Also: The Speedrunner Stage (where the player tries to speedrun everything)
You totally forgot about the stage where the player discovers they can pretty much bully the hell out of every enemy using a combination of: enough weapons to drain their HP pool, Stasis+, and some heals just to be safe
Accurate. But I do feel like the grind is te one I get stuck in the most as a completionist Stage 11: they realize that zelda Fanfics exist and start writing fanfiction and replaying botw again just to remember all the places and names and get inspired by hyrule all over.
This is so accurate 😂❤I'm gonna be at the knight stage forever though I did unlock the entire map early and I have defeated two lynels (from the high ground because I suck)
My progress after Stage 2 was -I like this story and want to know more. I will get that memory tucked away in the remnants of Hyrule Castle, and turn this segment of the game into MGS if I have to (accomplished with 6 hearts and no shield) -I should probably free those beasts already. Revali seems easy...whoa! Getting through cliffs is so easy now! -There's so much uncharted territory still...I should beacon those towers and cheese them with Revali's Gale! -...I should probably go back and save the other Beasts. Volcanic territory is a bit taxing on my anxiety, I'll leave it for last and hopefully find a way up there eventually. Oh, look! A random NPC trying to help me traverse Death Mountain! Thanks, random NPC! -Sheikah Shrines! Gotta try them all! (Feats just for me!) I know I'll beat Guardian! (Sheikah Shrines!) Oh, console mode sucks, I can't roll the ball into the hole! Sheikah Shrines! Gotta try them all! (Old man statuuuuue!) Need hearts and more stamina! Old Sheikah Man disintegrates...Sheikah Shrines! Gotta try them all! -Collect all the collectibles: the montage -Those horses look cool. I'm whipping out my inner Stacy and taming them with my unlimited stamina power! No wait, Satori! Come back! 😢 Oh well, at least I still have Ganonhorse and Zelda's pony. Time to put some sweet duds on (almost) all of you! -The Master Sword is finally mine! Wait, batteries not included and they're at the end of a long trial? I want my refund! -Wait, you mean I can slay Ganon on a motorcycle? Where do I sign up? Wait, why is that Old Man so big? -Fine, I'll do the trials. (One eternity later...) I did it. 💀 -You know what? I'm feeling confident! Gonna go bulli the Silver Lynel in the desert! (Played can't catch me with it going around a rock structure til dead) -I guess I'll collect Koroks now. Wait, there's 900 of these little buggers? Screw that! I'll get the ones hidden in and around Hyrule Castle and call it a day. -It's over, Calamity Ganon! I have the high ground!
I went to an alternative stage before bying DLC : the korok seeker. I've finished almost every quest (i just have 1 side quest left in all the game) so i travel through hyrule to seek all korok (i cheat and use à website that tells me where they are) i'm halfway through finding all korok and avoid combat to not destroy my best weapons. I've just played once every now and then after i finished the principal part of the game in 2018 but it is always fun to check on Link once in a while
I'm currently at the knight stage. And damn it tou described me perfectly especially with that inconsistent parry with the guardian beams. 😂
BotW holds a special place in my heart. It was my first Zelda game and the one that got me hooked on the series. I feel like I've done more than enough on BotW, and I'm so excited for Tears of the Kingdom.
it stills gives me a nostalgia feeling to it whenever I think about, so many things you could do and see, it was an amazing experience and the new one looks amazing too, def gonna be one of my fav title this year and prob the only open world for a while
This video really takes you too memory lane. From buying the game 4 years ago and being scared off by a black boko to beating a silver Lynel with 3 hearts and no armor. Although i have been playing this game for more than four years I AM STILL NOT CONSIST WITH THE GUARDIAN PARRY
I played this game for 3 years and Ganon/ guardians I’m good with but lynels…. Never
Okay so, I got the game around the month ago and I'm extremely close to finishing it (well, the main story) after playing around 50 hours... But I literally have no idea you could parry a guardian beam. Thanks for that. You just made my life so much easier.
Nice, this was pretty relatable! It would be so funny if we could rename the Sleepyhead phase to the "potlid shield" phase XD
I actually felt like my experience was a lot different, I started the game by spending a lot of time on the plateau, just learning the game. After a lot of exploring and stealth missions against boko camps lol I got off the plateau and was overwhelmed. It was just soooooo big. I just ran towards the dueling peaks for most of that first little bit and died a lot, that was terrifying. Then I learned about the quest system a little more and figured out how to get kakiriko, and I eventually stumbled upon the zora domain. I spent HOURS there doing quests and exploring. The mountains and constant rain made it a very challenging thing for me, I have the fondest memories of that place. After that, I explored the map even more, doing LOTS of climbing. I climbed to the top of the Gerudo mountains before I'd even beaten a second Devine beast. My entire journey through BOTW was exploring, up until I had explored everything, so I fought ganon, and was really disappointed at how easy it was. So I got the DLC after i beat every shrine, and I had fun with that. Then I moved on to glitches, then 100%, then I just moved on from the game and was playing new Nintendo games, waiting desperately for TOTK lol. So to sum it up, 1- exploration for HOURS AND HOURS. 2- Finally grasping what the point of the game was and going for Devine beasts 3- Hyrule castle/ganon 4- exploring WAAAAY more than before, upwards of 50 hours 5- going for 100% / getting dlc 6- lots of crying because there wasn't any news on BOTW 2 7- BOTW 2 HYPE AFTER TRAILER 8- no news forever AGAIN, until 9- unbearable TOTK anticipation
A jojo reference in this kind of video was definitely unexpected, but highly appreciated!
If you are still looking for the best healing dish, here it is 5 carrots you get near fairies (forgot their name)
You mean endura carrots right
@@xeon0379 yeah
the level of nostalgia is INSANE. thank you for this video I will NEVER forget the memorys I made (and Link's) thanks to you
@Little_L thank you for giving me a heart. I used to be a big fan❤. I would have never thought that in 10 months I would get a heart from you and get 100 subs ON THE SAME DAY!!!!!! ❤❤❤
I went head first on the first beast on the top right of the map, given a quest, thought i needed to kill the lynel. After killing it and going to the quest giver i see what i actually needed which was only a picture of the lynel and the pain this cause, it did teach me how to parry and dodge.
How much did Nintendo pay you to make this
6:10 I had no idea that was a secret cutscene, I got it on my first time killing ganon 😭
i have never seen a more accurate video of anything you have won my subscription and a active bell 👍
I think I'm still in the knight phase, and I'm excited that there is still so much to come! 😄
There is a secret stage that I like to call the "hikkikomori" this stage can happen if the player is scared of everything wich could cause them to not leave the plateau after they get the paraglider and stay there forever wich means that they won't progress anymore after stage 1
Casual omori reference I see you
i literally just got into zelda after buying a used switch and the game came with it. I am OBSESSED! I would say I went from beginner to mapper. i literally got all my towers first so I could have my map.
during my playthrough, I refused to see Impa first until I got the master sword and all of the beasts. first thing I did was unlock the entire map, and then I went shrine hunting until it became arduous/had enough hearts to get the sword. after I went to Zoras Domain to get the first beast. and then I went to hyrule castle and accidentally started the Ganon fight so I had to kill 3 blights and then Ganon, but I still managed to win? and then I got the rest of the beasts and finally visited impa afterwards so I could go memory hunting and get the sensor
I'm still playing it but it took me a while to realize there were several things I hadn't done. I unlocked all the regions before defeating any divine beasts because the blights honestly terrify me. Currently trying me best to get the blights done and do the side quests.
Deep into TOTK, this was such a pleasuent trip down memory lane. I found myself in many of those stages. Okay fine I'll subscribe.
Haaaahaaa i was with the chillin with the bird buds before visiting Kakariko, as i got lost lol
This video is very accurate, specially the shock after beating Ganon to find that nothing changed. It makes sense when you think about it but I was shocked and kinda mad when I first realized this
I beat the game two weeks after i got my switch back in 2017 when i was 12. Went back to it last week and the nostalgia hit so hard.
I’ve seen this video like 5 times it’s just to good!
I went through most of these stages exept the DLC. The mention of receiving the master sword gave me serious nostalgia!
Bro the grind phase hit me hard in totk when I discovered the tobio’s hollow chasm glitch. I had literally hundreds of gibdo bones
I love how my first time beating a lynel in botw was a long hard task, and in totk was in the underground colloseum, and hour in, and I killed 4/5 lynels there
