every time i get stuck on something and need a hint, any guide i find immediately spoils the end of the quest or the reward for whatever im doing right at the top of the article. if i search “floating coliseum” every result is an article titled along the lines of “Floating coliseum: how to get majoras mask”

i don’t want to know what the reward is! getting to the end and opening the chest with anticipation is the best part. this completely ruins it.

does anyone know of any guides that help you progress without spoiling the entire quest ending/treasure right away?

Has anyone cound a use for these?

Just started the game and it’s so much fun! I just got sage of wind but I’m still wearing only snow greaves. Wondering how I can get rupees to buy the armor that’s sold in town. Thanks!

Just finished the game at 150hrs and here are some of the things I learned along the way. Apologies ahead of time if some of these are obvious, I'm kind of slow sometimes.

• Hoverbike https://game8.co/games/Zelda-Tears-of-the-Kingdom/archives/413708

• If you have a plane but no way to get it in the air, hold it as high as you can for a couple seconds and lower it to the ground. Get on, rewind time, and launch when you're in the air. Be prepared for a dip downwards when you start off.

• If you're awful at Lionel's, spam them with puffshrooms or muddlebuds.

• Roasting foods: ingredients that can be roasted will have gray smoke, unroastable ingredients will make black smoke (probably obvious but helpful when filling out the recipe book)

• Gleeoks: Use ascend, jump and shoot arrows in slow time. Repeat until it's down and you can melee. Also helpful: muddlebuds will keep it from targeting you too much and snowquill armor at level 2 makes you unfreezable.

Depths

• The depths are mostly the opposite topography of the middle map. If there's a hill in the middle map it will be a valley in the depths. Water will be unclimbable walls. This isn't 100% but it's close enough to help navigate.

• Lightroots are the roots of shrines in the middle map. You can switch between maps to fill out your shrines/lightroot locations.

• If you select the middle map in your menu then exit, your mini-map will stay the middle map. Great for discovering new areas or trying to find a Lightroot.

• Know where a lightroot should be but can't find it? Look at the ceiling. Lightroots have a distinctive thin pillar shape. Sometimes you can see the outline then follow it down.

• Riju's power or ultrahand can help you see around if you're out of brightblooms.

• If you wear the Lionel mask to the depths coliseum the Lionel will target your companions. I use dodges to take down Lionels so I only wear it for the last guy to bomb his armor in peace. You need to put it on before their door opens.

• If you attach a gloom weapon to another weapon, there is no gloom toll.

• Attaching a gloom sword to a gerudo scimitar is 90 damage. I think this is because of strong fusion. There are stronger weapons out there but I liked this combo.

Hope this is helpful! I had a blast playing it. Good gaming, friends!

Now that Tears of the Kingdom has added amazing new mechanics like building contraptions and fusing items/weapons would you be disappointed if they didn't include them in future games?

• Github (alpha/proto version of a datamined map)

• Zeldamods (datamined, but with a more pleasant layout and interface)

• Zeldamaps (easy to use and lots of options - thanks Bdaman for the link!)

None of them are my own work, and apparently not all of them are completely finished yet, but still already super useful. Enjoy ♪

Change my mind

I went back on reddit for the first time in a week just to check out r/hyruleengineering today. To my surprise I see all these new builds using a new piece! It’s from the right leg depot in the depths. I picked it up today after watching a video on how to get it. It’s amazing! But definitely not intended for use by the devs. Thoughts?

By the way if anyone wants to join [email protected] please do. It was my favorite sub on reddit and I'd love to see it active here.

I need to make use of the 100+ in my inventory.

Grand Poes are worth anywhere from 37 to 100 rupees, which kind of blew my mind

You'll never take me alive nintendo! Splatoon just isn't good enough to get me to close the game and lose my unlimited supply of swords and rockbreakers!

It only started raining when I arrived at the tower and it's been going on for what seems like forever. Pretty sure the game does this on purpose...

Sorry - I’m a nube and not that far into the game, but a couple of times I’ve come across objects that look a bit like small icicles - but that seem like they are steaming. I found a couple in a block of ice I melted.

Any clues as to what they are or their utility?

I'm maybe 135 hours or so in, just finished the regional phenomena quest, and am trying to get through a bunch of the side quests and adventures before moving on to the next Main Story quest. I've only looked online for a couple of items so far, but as I end up with quests that I'm still interested in completing (but not sure how to progress on them), wondering if anyone has a particular site or guide they've used for the game?

How cooking mechanics work.

The video quantify how you can reach each level of buff based on ingredients.
