Of course, the idea is great, but reality is very harsh.
Some emotional players, after learning about Princess Zelda's story, are full of passion.
They can't wait to rush into the castle and chop Ganon into pieces.
However, as they played, many players found that their hearts for rescuing the princess were slowly becoming less firm.
Okay, I've freed the four Divine Beasts. Look, I don't have a good weapon. Do I have to go get the Master Sword?
But here's the problem: although getting the Master Sword requires 13 hearts, what if it's not enough?
After all, I just woke up from the Shrine of Resurrection, and I've lost my former powers and memories. I, Link, still need to be careful.
Let's clear all 120 shrines first, get enough hearts and stamina, and then go.
I successfully pulled out the Master Sword, but Ganon is strong. Although the Master Sword is powerful, we also need all kinds of weapons to deal with him, so we need to get some backup weapons, right?
Also, I can't carry so many weapons on me, so I have to find Hestu to open up more slots, right?
So, just in case, I'll collect all the Koroks.
Besides, I have amnesia now, and I don't know what the situation is inside the castle. I don't know how strong Ganon is either. Ordinary weapons might be useful, so I still have to collect them. After all, great things come from small beginnings, and saving the world is no small matter!
After getting all of these, it seems there are still many areas on the map that haven't been opened.
I definitely have to go open them, right?
After finishing all of these, I need to prepare more food, because Ganon is no ordinary boss.
Also, if we can't beat him, we have to find a way to save our lives, so a good horse is also very important. After all, I, Link, am Hyrule's last hope. If I die, the world is really doomed.
Finally, after everything is prepared, I still need to practice my skills, like the Flying Thunder God Technique, Wind Bomb, and Link Time.
Old King: The supplies, skills, and map are all ready. Link, can you go save my daughter Zelda now?
Link: Zelda? Who's Zelda?
Of course, this is a joke and a bit of teasing.
It has been a while since "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" was released.
Many players have already defeated Ganon and completed their first playthrough.
However, although they have defeated Ganon, it doesn't mean there's nothing left to do in the game.
For these players who have defeated Ganon, there's still a lot of content on the map that they haven't explored.
Not to mention the Koroks, which are collectibles, there are 120 shrines, all kinds of side quests, and a wide variety of interactive gameplay in the game. Many players haven't fully explored them.
And during this time, more and more players are not only satisfied with exploration.
They have also come up with all kinds of crazy ways to play.
For example, on the rails south of the volcano in "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild," there are two mine carts. Use Link's Magnesis ability to carefully stack these two mine carts together in the right position.
Then you can control the other mine cart under your feet and fly in the sky.
Of course, you can't use too much force, otherwise the mine cart can fall apart very easily.
There are also people using lightning and Chuchu Jelly to take down the Guardians in various shrines.
In addition, you often encounter the Yiga Clan in the wild. These Yiga Clan members disguise themselves as ordinary Hyrule citizens and ask Link for help.
When you get close, they trigger a cutscene and jump back a certain distance.
But before that, use the Stasis rune to freeze them in time, then predict where they will land, and you can strike them in advance, which is very entertaining.
'Newton's coffin lid has been pressed down. This is not science at all!'
'Damn, the shrines can be cleared like this? Old hooligan of Hyrule!'
'You can predict like this? Boss Lucas really lost a lot selling this game for 300 bucks!'
Of course, in addition to these fun and entertaining videos.
There are also many players who have started speedrunning monster kills. As for the target, it's like Nergigante in "Monster Hunter: World," and on the land of Hyrule, the Lynel has become the unit of measurement.
Various fancy Link Time moves and flurry rushes made countless players exclaim that this wasn't the game they were playing.
In addition to that, there are also some slightly more complicated tricks.
In one video, Link placed a bomb on the edge of a cliff and then jumped forward.
The moment he jumped, he used his bow to enter Link Time, then switched to another bomb and threw it, then switched back to the bomb he had placed earlier and detonated it.
As the bomb exploded and one heart of health dropped, the shockwave from the explosion directly sent the Link controlled by the player flying into the distance like a rocket.
In the air, Link opened his paraglider and slowly floated towards Hyrule Castle in the center of the map.
This is the Wind Bomb in the game. It is said that once a Link learns this move, he will not walk on the ground unless the conditions don't allow it.
And not only that, in the second half of the video, this video player showed off another trick.
Standing on a high platform facing a small monster frozen with ice magic below, Link did a shield surf backflip. The moment he landed, he stepped on the shield, took out his bow, and entered Link Time. Then, with a 'ding' sound, the Link in the game flew straight into the sky.
From various crazy moves to monster kill speedruns and practical tricks, things took a more extreme turn.
Although Lucas kept some of the good glitches from the previous world in the game.
Some glitches were still fixed, like clipping through walls to enter shrines.
There will no longer be cases of clipping through the wall into the snowy mountain at the beginning of the Shrine of Resurrection.
However, even so, with Lucas keeping Link Time shield surfing and Wind Bombs.
Most of the shrines and traveling can quickly save a lot of time.
Shrine puzzles?
Who's going to solve puzzles slowly with you? Just use Wind Bombs and bomb jumps to pass over the obstacles from high above and reach the end.
Traveling? Who's going to travel with you?
Watching these increasingly outrageous speedrun videos with constantly decreasing times, many Zelda players who were still hunting, fishing, and catching grasshoppers were all shocked.
"Run, Ganon, Run! Link is coming!"
"Looking at these Link moves, I really don't understand how such a strong Link lost to Ganon 100 years ago."
"The Old King said one thing: Link, were you acting 100 years ago?"
Amidst these joyful laughs and cheers, the sales of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" are also constantly rising.
Because there is too much content in the game.
If you want to relax, there are relaxing ways to play. If you want something hardcore, there are hardcore ways to play.
Even if many people have already played "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" for dozens or even hundreds of hours and have defeated Ganon twice.
They will still find that there is still a lot of content in the game waiting for them to discover.
