Memories and Armor

Image result for botw armorEnemies get progressively harder as you progress through the game in Breath of the Wild. Silver being the max in normal mode and gold in master mode. This means that enemies get harder to kill and deal more damage to kill you. This can be countered by getting more hearts from completing shrines, but there is another way to take more damage. This is from armor. Armor can be collected from shrines, chests, quests, or can be brought from certain shop NPCs.


Armor give defenses which decreases the damage of the weapon hitting you. Each  piece of armor may give an attribute like swim speed up or climb speed up. Armors can also be upgraded at a Great Fairy Fountain. Upgraded armor gives more defense along at level two, some sets can give a set bonus if the other set pieces are at level two. There are four Great Fairy Fountains in the world that the player can find.

Great Fairy Fountains are unlocked by spending Rupees. Each time one is unlocked the price is increased. The unlocking price starts at 100, increases to 500, then 1000, and finally 10,000 Rupees. Each Great Fairy Fountain allows the armor to be upgraded by one so the final total can be level 4. The most armor someone can get is from armor that has 4 defense at level 0, not upgraded, with the Champions Tunic that has 5 defense at level 0.

The Champions Tunic is gotten from collecting one of the twelve memories. Memories are found in the world after talking to Impa after getting your Shikeah Slate fixed. Memories give no other reward, but the first memory you collect and after talking back to Impa will give you the Champions Tunic. In addition to 5 defense points that the Champions Tunic gives, it will also show enemy health bar and hit points, this is useful for seeing enemies behind walls.

Using armor is very useful for exploration due to the fact that they can give resistances to temperature. A helpful tip for going across snow and sand quickly is to get the sand boots and snow boots, equipping them and using the chest and hat for the environment instead of using the entire set.

Side Quests and Korok Seeds

Image
There will be a point in the game when you have nothing left to do because you have done all the shrines and defeated Calamity Ganon. Well like most games, there are side quests! There is a total of 76 side quests from just getting the game. The DLC (Downloadable Content) adds a lot more side quests. These quests are optional, hence why they are called side quests. Even though side quests are in fact optional, early game they can be a source of Rupees, the game currency. These side quests can be found anywhere in the game; to the top of the tallest mountain, and to the bottom of the deepest gorge. Finding all of the side quests can be a annoying at first but the majority of the side quests are at villages or at stables, with a few scattered here and there. There are three main things that a side quests will make you do: collect something for them, kill something for them, or complete a task for them. There may be a few exceptions but most side quests are about that. Once you have com...

Gerudo Town and Divine Beast Vah Naboris

Image
Gerudo Town can be easy to get to if the player has both Rupees and a way to keep cool if traveling during the day. The main problem that the player will get is trying to get into Gerudo Town when they are right outside its walls. This is because Gerudo Town is an all Vai town, or all-female town, which does not allow Voe, males, to enter it. Link being a male as he is cannot enter Gerudo Town as he is currently. As you try finding a way inside the town you may notice someone standing near the main entrance to Gerudo Town. He basically says that he is looking for a man who can sneak inside Gerudo Town so that he too can get inside. With a little more detective skills under Link's belt, you find the man who sells you the gear you need to get inside of Gerudo Town. Once inside of Gerudo Town you have the fun task of fighting the Yiga Clan. The Yiga Clan is a very hard stealth-like area that requires you to not get caught or be faced off against instant-killing enemies. There are so...
