I regularly return to this game for a full game replay every so often, and when i do sometimes I give myself a rule set to make things not repetitive. Like last time I did every side quest I could as I got them to get me to care about them more.

This time ive decided i want to make a sort of "Master mode" ruleset that removes some of the most broken and abusable mechanics in the game to make things more challenging without it being an outright "challenge run" like "no paraglider" or "no upgrades"

I've posted my current list as the second image and im looking for any feedback, suggestions, or concerns on it to make my replay more fun. Most everything is subject to change for the moment based on the comments, the ones noted with ? especially since I do want to use most of the mechanics in the game- just without them being overpowered and removing all difficulty.

My biggest hurdle right now is actually thr very first thing I thought of which is the "no cooking" rules since I dont want to be able to make infinite meals that heal me at any time- but then without cooking pretty much half of thr items in thr game are worthless seeing as alot of them dont have much use outside of being cooking ingredients.

Like the title says i’m only missing a small fraction of percentage left for the 100% completion! it’s driving me bonkers trying to find the missing locations.

honestly any help would be appreciated or may my soul rest in piece xD

EDIT: i have all shrines, lightroots, caves, chasms, shops, mines, stables, wells and koroks so i honestly don’t know what i’m looking for :((

I love fiddling with spreadsheets! I was trying to see if I could make one that can generate coordinates for a dragons future location based on its current one. So first I asked AI if it even worked that way with the game mechanics. It said YES! In fact if you enter the coordinates for one dragon, you can determine the position of ALL THE dragons!

I thought that was amazing! I spent the majority of my weekend fighting with the spreadsheet trying to make it work… alas, failure. Come to find out that AI gave me an incorrect premise: Knowing the position of one dragon CANNOT be used to determine the location of the others… I literally asked AI 4 or 5 times to confirm whether or not it was possible and it kept saying “Yes!”

It wasn’t until I gave it a screenshot of an answer from another AI saying “No it doesn’t work like that” before it accepted the reality that it wasted my weekend…

Where are thay all gone in ToTk. hyrule castle is really empty. :(

In my personal opinion it is yunobo, he gets in the way of my hovebike and any vehicle plus he is just annoying in general, id love to see what others think though!

While waiting for the release of Ocarina of Time, I remembered when I went to pick up Tears of the Kingdom when it came out in May 2023. It brought back so much nostalgia!

I remember the store where I pre-ordered it held a midnight launch at 00:00 and it was an incredible moment. I arrived with my partner an hour before the release and it was packed with people waiting.

I think I received around number 150 for delivery, and more and more people kept arriving, several dressed up as iconic characters. I had never in my life seen so many people gathered to receive a game.

In the last 10 seconds before midnight, people started counting down at the top of their lungs like it was New Year's... It was incredible!

They gave me these posters for pre-ordering. They are my great treasure. That night I went back home and stayed up all night playing. And now, two and a half weeks away from the release of the Ocarina of Time remake, I'm wishing there's a new midnight launch in my country.

Noob question. What is this device? Thank you

I made this forever ago and completely forgot about it😂

Yesterday i was looking at maps of tears of the kingdom and i noticed that the statues you give poes to in the depths and the hylia statues are at the same places but on different layers

"Wahahaha! Aah!"

I couldn’t repost this from the other TOTK subreddit, so I had to post it again here.

Hello everyone!
I am planning on cosplaying as link for halloween this year, and I thought it would be cool to have the sheikah slate actually be my phone. I was wondering if anyone knows a good tutorial or place to buy one? Because it's a cosplay I would like it to look realistic (idc if it's hard to use my phone lol). Thanks everyone!
