♦ Rules ♦


1. Stay Civil

This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.


2. Mark Spoilers

It is okay to post about "related games" (such as Age of Calamity and Breath of the Wild) but please use the spoiler "censor" and do not put spoilers directly into the title, as the censor doesn't work this way. Posts about other Zelda games might be suited better in general Zelda communities, like the ones listed at the bottom of the sidebar.


3. Offtopic Posts

Anything not related to BotW, like politics, religion, non-Zelda games etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.


4. No Advertisements

It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.


5. Provide Sources

If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)


6. Suggestions are Welcome!

Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)

Why is it so hard to find the tails on these lizards? I mean I see them when I fight them and yet I hardly get drops. I'm having flashbacks of hunting Goretusk Livers for pie in Westfall.

This isn’t specifically helpful for you but: I duped them whenever I needed them, and then one day realized that I was already a bit of a mini-god and didn’t need every armor set to be 4⭐️ and stopped caring.

I also duped. Fuck grinding, life is too short for grinding.

I'd be amazed if they hadn't patched it by now, but there was a glitch where you could duplicate items. It involved going to a certain chasm, flying / climbing back out of it, positioning Link on the boundary between middle and lower regions, then firing an arrow with item attached using bow with double or triple shot. The arrows would cross the boundary then hang in the air, falling back to earth and you could pickup the items that were attached to them (so obv if you attach 1 diamond to a triple shot, you get 3 back).

Like I said I'd bet dollars to doughnuts they patched it long ago. I hate grinding enough that I'd consider installing orig version with no patches to utilise this glitch!

You're chopping their tails up in the fight! It takes a masterful hand to win against a Lizfaldo and leave their tails intact. This is our head canon in our house and it started with those goretusk livers a decade ago. My wife said we had to hit them perfectly in order to not damage the livers. We weren't masterful enough in our hunting techniques. It seemed rational enough and added some reasoning that made the grind more enjoyable.

That makes sense. I'm in for the long grind and must perfect my strikes.

If you check the totk object viewer website, it says tails have a %25 chance of dropping. It feels so much rarer but I started counting my drops and the ratio actually is 1 in 4.

For ice and fire tails I recommend the Gerudo Canyon SkyView Tower. Gerudo desert for electric as well. Electric sucks because they are so spread out compared to ice/fire.

I definitely recommend visiting the totk object viewer if you want to farm legitimately. Otherwise just dupe like others are saying.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check it out.

25% seems way too high than what I am actually getting.

If you have played 'ghost of tsushima' then you know what to do : present yourself to your foe and face them head on. Be honourable. As soon as you attack them from behind the prize is lost.
