The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom offers a vast open-world gaming experience that can feel quite overwhelming to new players. The game is brimming with activities, from major quests such as saving tribes from Ganondorf's influence, to minor tasks like assisting a Korok in reaching their friend. Although the game can be daunting initially, players soon find their rhythm, completing quests and exploring Shrines across the kingdom. Despite having been out for some time, new players continue to join. Thankfully, Tears of the Kingdom is more directive than its predecessor, Breath of the Wild, offering players a clear starting point and a range of tools to aid in their adventures.

After the opening sequence, players start their journey in the Great Sky Island, a prologue area that is separate from the rest of Hyrule. This area serves as a training ground where players can practice their skills, explore and uncover valuable items like the Warm Doublet and Zonai installations. Once this area has been explored, players should head to Lookout Landing, a small fort located near the floating Hyrule Castle. This location serves as a base for players, providing guidance, updates, and amenities like a bed and cooking pot. The Paraglider, a crucial tool for gameplay, can also be acquired here.

Central Hyrule is the next location recommended for players as it matches the beginner player's strength level. It is packed with Shrines and sidequests which offer valuable experience and rewards. Following this, a journey towards the northwest leads to Rito Village and the first dungeon. A vital point of interest early in the game is Sheikah scientist Robbie, located in Lookout Landing. Starting his quest chain unlocks significant game mechanics and leads to the final arm power, an essential quality-of-life upgrade for players. Completing these suggested quests and thoroughly exploring these initial areas equips players for the rest of their adventure in Tears of the Kingdom.

If you’ve never played the OG Legend of Zelda, it’s as good a time as any to learn where the story began.

Utilize Your Resources Wisely

In "The Legend of Zelda", resource management plays a crucial role in your progress. Be mindful of how you use your bombs, arrows, and rupees. For instance, bombs can be used not only for defeating enemies but also for discovering secret passages in dungeons or the overworld. Keep an eye out for cracked or suspicious walls, as they might hide crucial paths or valuable rewards. Remember that arrows cost rupees, so don't use them recklessly. Save your rupees for important purchases like bait or a better shield.

Take Time to Explore

The land of Hyrule is vast and filled with hidden treasures. While it may be tempting to rush into the next dungeon, spending time to explore the overworld can be hugely beneficial. Look for hidden rooms and caves; they often house Heart Containers that increase your overall health or offer valuable items for your journey. NPCs scattered throughout the world can offer useful hints (although often cryptic), so don't skip dialogue. Take note of their clues and apply them to your exploration strategy.

Strategize Your Battles

Combat in "The Legend of Zelda" requires strategic thinking as much as quick reflexes. Every enemy has a unique pattern of attack and movement. Spend time learning these patterns and use them to your advantage. Some enemies can be defeated more easily by using particular items or weapons, so don't hesitate to switch up your strategies. Remember to utilize your shield effectively; it can block many enemy attacks. Bosses often have specific weak points or attack patterns; understanding these can turn a challenging fight into a manageable one.

Ok - Here's my first tip. But first:

SPOILER ALERT


I will be talking about mainline story in this tip! You have been warned!


Boss: Mucktorok

Behavior:

Shark Mode:

  1. Circles the arena, then charges at the player.
  2. Creates Muck Circle that cover the entire arena.
  3. Shoots Muck Beam at player. Octopus Mode:
  4. Flees to side opposite to player when stunned out of Shark Mode.
  5. After 50% health damage will jump across much patches to avoid being hit before returning to Shark Mode.

How to cheese the boss:

  1. Since your jumps are amplified in the arena, you can gain airtime and that means you can slow-mo shoot your bow.

  2. Use your bow in combination with fused chu-chu jelly, king's scale, or Splash-fruit to your arrows to aim at the boss while it's almost frozen.

  3. Shoot Twice at the boss while in Shark Mode. While you're in slow-mo, make sure both arrows are fused with chu-chu jelly, king's scale, or Splash-fruit , otherwise it won't do anything to the shark.

  4. Once the boss stunts out of Shark Mode, jump/glide to the boss that will now be in Octopus-mode, Attack it will your most powerful melee weapon

  5. Octopus will skip over to the opposite side of the arena, wait for it to go Shark Mode, then jump again to repeat from step 1.

  6. Once the boss is at 50%, the arena will get filled with muck, feel free to use Sidon's ability / more water arrows to clear the area, however it was a waste of time to me because I could simply fly over to the muck to get to the boss once in Octopus mode.

7: ???

8: Profit. You have cheesed the Mucktorok
