This is a collection of useful tips & tricks I found while playing Breath of the Wild and it’s two expansion packs (over 150 hours)
- A good, farmable ressource for the Master Cycle Zero is Wood
- You can farm wood in the small forest behind the Orni stable in the Hebra region.
- Use bombs instead of axes. This process is slower, but needs no weapons and yields the same amount of wood (Amount is randomized)
- Use a 30-minute Level 3 Defense Potion before starting a Trail of the Sword Run
- Any potions duration can be extended to 30 minutes (the maximum length of a potion) with a dragon horn
- You can farm Farodra horns using campfires (skip to morning)
- You can’t max out both hearts and stamina with all 120 shrines. Unless you want to do Trials of the Sword, go with stamina
- You can trade in heart and stamina containers at a black statue in Hateno to switch from stamina to hearts and vice-versa
- Spend the money you have. I’ve cleared out my inventory in Kiltons shop and in villages, and could obtain the dark link outfit and 5000-ish rupees
- Use Potions (Attack or defense) before engaging a fight with a Lynel
- Clear the 4 Divine Beasts before fighting Ganon, the abilities and the damage that is inflicted to Ganon before the real fight starts (50% of his health) are superior
- The Master Sword shoots light beams when you have full hearts and try to throw it away
- Arrows shot with the antique bow fly straight and have no bullet drop
- Antique arrows in the eye of a guardian (any type of them) kill them with a single shot.
- Parrying guardian beams is a good practice for the final fight against Ganon
- The Hylian shield can be obtained in Hyrule castle after a Stalinox fight
- If the Hylian shield breaks, you can buy it again from a merchant in a town (which name I forgot, but you help building it by with wood)
- To get trough the haunted forest, light a torch and follow the direction is which the flame is blown by the wind
- Use the Shiekah slate’s sensor to find new shrines
