Fashion Zelda, Round 2: 10 New Stylish Outfits! [Spoilers]

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 07:13 AM PDT

Hi again! First and foremost, I'd like to thank my wonderful husband /u/ziphion for turning my "I wish there was" into a real website. It's perfect for brainstorming outfits, but it's also just super fun to use. Y'all should check it out!

Since you guys enjoyed my first BotW fashion post, I figured I should do some more! I've got 10 more outfits to share, many of which use my favorite new DLC items. I welcome feedback and would also love to see your own creations. Enjoy!


The Lynel Hunter

  • Barbarian Helmet (purple)

  • Hylian Tunic (crimson)

  • Phantom Greaves

  • Savage Lynel Sword, Spear, Bow, and Shield

As Ganon's evil spread, it overtook even the most ancient and powerful creatures of Hyrule. One warrior swore to vanquish every beast touched by the infectious magic, and became the legend known as the Lynel Hunter.


The Gridrunner

  • Ancient Helm

  • Rubber Shirt (light blue)

  • Ancient Greaves (light blue)

  • Ancient Spear, Guardian Shield

L.I.N.K. is a Local Intelligence Network Keeper charged with the safety of the Grid. He patrols the mainframe, hunting for any malicious or suspicious software. He prides himself on keeping a clean system, and it is said that he is an iteration of the legendary Tron's original programming.


The God of Death and Lightning

  • Thunder Helm

  • Radiant Shirt (yellow)

  • Desert Voe Trousers (yellow)

  • Thunderblade, Bokoblin Arm

  • Farrosh

Xolotl is the ancient Aztec god of death and lightning. He whips up wild storms with his frenzied raindances, and the dead wake to join him. He is often unpredictable though, and in periods of calm he can be rather playful. He loves to hang out with his buddy Quetzalcoatl, the mighty feathered serpent.


The Paladin

  • Hylian Hood (white)

  • Soldier's Armor (light blue)

  • Trousers of Time

  • Zora Sword, Silver Longsword

Link traveled to Zora's Domain to study swordsmanship from the Zora's elite warriors. From dawn to dusk, he leads an ascetic life devoted to mastering the blade. He practices many styles, and is as deadly with a heavy two-handed longblade as with a light rapier. After his training is complete, the anointed paladin will journey to vanquish the evil in Hyrule Castle.


The Fire Imp

  • Midna's Helmet

  • Ancient Cuirass (red)

  • Stealth Tights (red)

Link is a little Fire Imp living on the slopes of Death Mountain. He is extremely shy, and rarely leaves the lava flows. But, he loves the taste of Goron Spice and has developed a friendship with the Gorons in the city below. The Gorons think he's adorable and they try not to startle him when he comes creeping into town. Link happily catches Fireproof lizards, which are viewed as unwanted pests in the city, but are his favorite delicacy to flavor with Goron Spice. Thus, the Gorons and the Fire Imp live in happy symbiosis.


The Voe

  • Desert Voe Headband (light blue)

  • Desert Voe Spaulder (light blue)

  • Trousers of the Wind

  • Scimitar of the Seven, Daybreaker

Chief Riju's younger brother, Link, is the first Gerudo male to be born in many generations. When Riju became the chieftain, she appointed Link Captain of the Guard and gave him the sacred heirlooms Daybreaker and the Scimitar of the Seven to wield. Link is devoted to his sister and has grown up to be a proudly accepted member of his tribe.


The Executioner

  • Gerudo Veil (black)

  • Stealth Chest Guard (black)

  • Flamebreaker Boots (black)

  • Double Axe

Since the Hyrulian army was defeated at Akkala Citadel, the fortress has lain abandoned. None dare approach, for rumors speak of a specter that haunts the ruins. Sightings of a figure veiled in black and wielding a great double axe have been reported.


The Lost Boy

  • Korok Mask

  • Old Shirt (green) (optional)

  • Barbarian Leg Wraps (green)

  • Korok Leaf

Discovered as a baby abandoned in the Lost Woods, Link was raised by the spirits of the forest. The elder Korok Chio tries to oversee his education, but Link spends most his day playing with the other Koroks or dancing with Hestu. He can often be found deep in the woods, catching deer or exploring the laughing trees.


The Farmer

  • Ruby Circlet

  • Tunic of the Wild (navy)

  • Hylian Trousers

  • Pitchfork, Farming Hoe

Link is a young farm hand living in Hateno Village. His life is a simple one - he manages his small house and takes care of his horse. He works as a stable boy on Dantz's ranch, and helps Reede farm the wheat fields. He gets along well with the other villagers, and tends to be kind of a goofball. But sometimes, this simple farmer is visited by nightmares. A shrouded castle, glowing yellow eyes, and a distant plea for help from a familiar voice...


The Terrible Fate

  • Majora's Mask

  • Gerudo Top (purple)

  • Stealth Tights (purple)

  • Fierce Deity Sword

The Hexing Mask was banished long ago to a dark and empty realm. It clung to its dim life, and wandered until the day it found a strange and wicked light. The light of the Blood Moon pulled the Mask back into the world of the living, where its malice roams once again.

Commissioned some art for a cartoon I'm pitching around. You can see where I got some inspiration.

Everything that can('t) be done in BotW without starting a main quest. [X-post /r/truezelda]

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 04:25 AM PDT

So while going through Master Mode, I pretty much ended up using my list of where everything was located from my first playthrough to quickly gather up all the korok seeds, quests, shrines and so forth.

Through gathering it all I did not start/continue any new main quests beyond the ones needed to leave the plateau (I also did not talk to Hestu yet cause I'm gonna do so with 900 koroks already gathered)

This left me with :
- 898 koroks seeds collected
- 40 hinox, 40 talus and 4 molduga's defeated (no medals cause kilton does not yet give the option + apparently hinox and talus medals are broken in master mode)
- 112 shrines completed
- 36/76 side quests + 1 more started
- 30/42 shrine quests completed + 2 more started

.

Korok seeds : It is perfectly possible to obtain all but 2 koroks seeds without doing any main quests.
the 2 that are impossible are :
- the one on top of Gerudo Town's spring, because entering the city is considered a main quest
- A stump-race challenge in Faron that goes up a waterfall, where I have not found any way to be able to reach the goal in time except with the Zora Armor. I tried creating a series of updrafts along the cliff sides but even that+ speed up stuff + eating stamina to be able to just keep climb jumping did not allow me to make it up there in time.

Shrines : There are only 8 shrines you can not obtain.
These are : - The one behind the [Family Heirloom] shrine quest, which requires you to be able to do all the kakariko quests which you can't do without meeting with Impa
- The one behind the [ceremonial song] shrine quest, it IS possible to obtain the ceremonial trident before doing the Vah Ruta Quest, but the platform wil not react until after you complete the Divine Beast.
- The one behind the [Warbler's Nest] shrine quest, the rito girls will not be allowed to go practice their singing until after Vah Medoh has been calmed down. And simply doing the order of the stones without them won't work.
- The one behind the [The perfect Drink] Shrine quest : This shrine quest can be started but you need to enter the Gerudo Town to complete it.
- The one behind the [Sand Seal Racing] minigame, the sand sealing racing can't be done until after Vah Naboris has been calmed down.
- The one near Lurelin with the ancient slab you need to take pictures off, it can't be done cause the picture rune is locked behind meeting impa and doing the lost mementos main quest.
- Same for the one near the most western point of the southern coastline where you need to take a picture of a guardian to show to the ancient-tech lover.
- And finally : you can't do the one locked behind Kass' [Serpents' Maw] shrine quest (the spring of courage), cause you can't get a scale of Farosh without meeting Impa (which triggers the start of the dragons flying around)
You can do the ones for the spring of wisdom and power because you can find their respective dragon's scales inside Hyrule Castle (you can even complete the spring of wisdom quest without cleansing Naydra by using the scale you find inside of the castle)

Some I was suprised I was able to do : all 4 shrines inside of the lost woods/korok forest can be done, very easily too.
You just need to make sure you don't trigger the Master Sword/Deku tree Cutscene but aside from that you can do all 3 korok shrine trails and the "riddles of Hyrule" quest, the rest of the korok sidequests can't be triggered until you touch the sword.
Some of the respective shrine's shrine quests can't be activated yet but you CAN do the shrine, like for example the Ancient Rito Song and the Skull's eye

Random trivia : Vah Rudania is the only sacred beast that doesn't lock any shrines behind himself.
All he locks behind him is a trade-quest

.

Sidequest-wise, you can't do (or even start) any of the picture-taking side quests (leviathan bones, shady customer, etc...) until you have the picture rune
You also can't take on most of the gerudo quests without enter gerudo town nor any of the zora quests until you met up with the king and started Vah ruta or even completed it for some.
The kakariko-quests are off limits until you met with Impa as well.

You CAN however do the entire Tarrey Quest line (thanks to the gerudo-son for being outside of her town), and all of the DLC quests very easily.

Also of note : you can't light the ancient furnaces of the akala and hateno research labs until you meet with impa, and you can't even meet up with Robbie and his wife until you do (they won't be home)

.

Now for the hardest part... deciding which main quest "taboo" to break through first to get the rest of the stuff.

*Spoiler* PLEASE, the one thing I want more than anything in a DLC...

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 07:31 AM PDT

Is for an explanation of what in the world happened to the Triforce??? It has been a staple in every single Zelda game and yet in Botw, we get to see the Triforce of Wisdom when Zelda points it at Ganon, however the Triforce of Power and Courage are not even mentioned. Did they die with everything else 100 years ago? Is link already imbued with Courage and Ganon with Power and it just inst brought up??? We need answers! This was my favorite Zelda game, PERIOD, however to not mention something that has been so pivotal for so may years leaves me scratching my head... Would love to hear what is everyone's theory on why it didn't have more of a presence in the game?

I <3 Zelda

Back in the early 2000's, living in Nicaragua finding links green tunic or the hero's clothes was pretty much impossible. So I went to my awesome grandmother and ask her if she could make it for me. when it was done I truly felt like the chosen one.

What is your least favorite dungeon in Ocarina of Time? I absolutely dread completing Jabu Jabu every time I play through the game .

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 02:55 AM PDT

One thing that blows my mind is that BOTW is one day going to have rom hacks out the wazoo like it isn't even that big of a game

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 10:06 AM PDT

So let's daydream about how that might look like and what you'd like to see

Correct order of Divine Beasts

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 08:41 AM PDT

Anyone who has played Breath of the Wild knows that there is no order to doing anything in this game. I have had debates with my friends on which is the correct order of doing the divine beasts in this game though. Since I have played all other 3D Zelda games, I believe it should be "Medoh, Rudania, Ruta, Naboris". Like in Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask, the dungeons typically go in the order of "forest, mountains, lake/ocean, desert". Why would the ones in BotW be any different? It also seems to me that starting with Medoh, it is by far the easiest one, and the difficulty increases with the order I believe is true, which means Naboris is the hardest divine beast. BUT, other people believe the order is based off of the locations of the divine beasts on the map. Do you guys think there is a certain order in doing the divine beasts?

Just found shrine 120!

Posted: 25 Jul 2017 08:07 AM PDT

I love how after I exhausted all my shrine quests I had to scan the map for empty areas to find new shrines. But the last one for me was right under my nose: The Undefeated Champion shrine quest, Raqa Zunzo Shrine. It was just outside of Gerudo Town!

Anyone else completely miss an easy to find shrine that ended up being the final one they found/completed?
