The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a videogame developed by Nintendo for the Switch, released in 2023. It is a direct sequel to Breath of the Wild and its story takes place a couple of years after the events of BotW.


♦ 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 ;)

Just finished the game at 150hrs and here are some of the things I learned along the way. Apologies ahead of time if some of these are obvious, I'm kind of slow sometimes.

• Hoverbike https://game8.co/games/Zelda-Tears-of-the-Kingdom/archives/413708

• If you have a plane but no way to get it in the air, hold it as high as you can for a couple seconds and lower it to the ground. Get on, rewind time, and launch when you're in the air. Be prepared for a dip downwards when you start off.

• If you're awful at Lionel's, spam them with puffshrooms or muddlebuds.

• Roasting foods: ingredients that can be roasted will have gray smoke, unroastable ingredients will make black smoke (probably obvious but helpful when filling out the recipe book)

• Gleeoks: Use ascend, jump and shoot arrows in slow time. Repeat until it's down and you can melee. Also helpful: muddlebuds will keep it from targeting you too much and snowquill armor at level 2 makes you unfreezable.

Depths

• The depths are mostly the opposite topography of the middle map. If there's a hill in the middle map it will be a valley in the depths. Water will be unclimbable walls. This isn't 100% but it's close enough to help navigate.

• Lightroots are the roots of shrines in the middle map. You can switch between maps to fill out your shrines/lightroot locations.

• If you select the middle map in your menu then exit, your mini-map will stay the middle map. Great for discovering new areas or trying to find a Lightroot.

• Know where a lightroot should be but can't find it? Look at the ceiling. Lightroots have a distinctive thin pillar shape. Sometimes you can see the outline then follow it down.

• Riju's power or ultrahand can help you see around if you're out of brightblooms.

• If you wear the Lionel mask to the depths coliseum the Lionel will target your companions. I use dodges to take down Lionels so I only wear it for the last guy to bomb his armor in peace. You need to put it on before their door opens.

• If you attach a gloom weapon to another weapon, there is no gloom toll.

• Attaching a gloom sword to a gerudo scimitar is 90 damage. I think this is because of strong fusion. There are stronger weapons out there but I liked this combo.

Hope this is helpful! I had a blast playing it. Good gaming, friends!
