Did you find Tear of the Kingdom difficult? (programming.dev)

I played BotW a lot, and really loved it. I feel like the beginning of the game was relatively easy compared to TotK, I died a few times trying out things, discovering the game and possibilities ; in TotK I died a lot and still do even with good gear and armour (1*-2* armors, 30-40+ damage weapons). You could say it's skill issues and I would agree with you as I am not a pro player and play games once a week maybe, however I feel like the difficulty curve is far greater in TotK. That has affected how I view the game to the point that sometimes I think I dislike it (even though the new powers are the best thing they could have added, with the verticality of the world) ; that might also have to do with the much darker ambiance of the game, which can feel frightening (to me) to the point going underground is hard.

Is it just me? Should I just "git gud"?

Somehow I ended up in the Gerudo Desert really early, and if you have bombs and arrows, Molduga fights are super easy to cheese. Just make sure you have lots of weapons for the first one. After that, they take 45 seconds.

Elixirs made of the guts are worth a lot of money. Fins are useful because you can stockpile a lot of them and they're useful in a pinch and you just need a 20 power weapon to get by. They also make decently valuable elixirs. Jaws boost weapons +32 and you'll always get one or two after a fight. Attach one to a Gerudo Sword or spear and you're wrecking some shit.
