Zora's Domain and Divine Beast Vah Ruta

Related image
Zora's Domain is home to Divine Beast Vah Ruta, the elephant Divine Beast, who is currently making endless rain fall down onto Zora's Domain. Zora's Domain is, in my opinion, one of the easiest Divine Beast village in the game. The path to get to Zora's Domain is very simple and when you are near any path that can lead up to Zora's Domain there is a Zora that will tell you to go to Zora's Domain. The only inconvenience you will get on the way to Zora's Domain is the enemies that are camped out on the pathway. If the player chooses another path to Zora's Domain then their will be no inconvenience there, other than the fact that it is in the middle of a lake.


The main quest in Zora's Domain is pretty straight forward and there is no need to buy anything from Zora's Domain. This is because the main piece of armor that is needed to do Divine Beast Vah Ruta is given to the player from one of the NPC's. The only challenging thing to do concerning the main quest in Zora's Domain is collecting Shock Arrows from the top of a mountain. This is hard because the area that the Shock Arrows are in is patrolled by a Lynel, the second or first hardest non-boss enemy in the game.

After getting 20 Shock Arrows scattered around where the Lynel is, the player then can start "attacking" the Divine Beast. The player doesn't really attack the Divine Beast to kill it, rather you attack it to power it down for a shot while so you can get inside of it. To get inside of Divine Beast Vah Ruta, the player rides on-top of a Zora, sort of like surfing, breaking ice with Cryosis. As soon as the player is near a waterfall you can go up it and shoot one of four points with your Shock Arrows. As soon as all four are taken care of, a cut-scene happens which shows you boarding the Divine Beast.


If Shrines were considered mini-dungeons then, Divine Beasts are dungeons in comparison. In each and every Divine Beast, there are five main control units, each needing to be activated. In addition to the control units there is the Main Control Unit, and the map of the Divine Beast. the first step and easiest in any Divine Beast is getting the map for it. The map can control one part of the Divine Beast; for Vah Ruta, it is her trunk. The map shows you where all of the control units are found and afterwards shows where the Main Control Unit is found. Vah Ruta's main puzzle component is water and is used in the access of some control units.

After getting all of the control units activated, the player has to head to the Main Control Unit and activate it to start the boss. The boss is Waterblight Ganon who's main weapon is a spear he can throw or use to sweep across. His second weapon is using spiked ice spheres to damage the player. After reaching half health the once walk-able floor is now flooded with only four pillars to be able to stand on. This limits the mobility of the player and makes it much harder to do much of anything. Upon defeating Waterblight Ganon Mipha's spirit, the Zora Champion, is freed. With you freeing her spirit from Waterblight Ganon's grasp Vah Ruta will help the player when they finally decide to fight Calamity Ganon. Along with the help on Calamity Ganon, Mipha will offer you her healing abilities which will revive you upon death with full health and extra bonus hearts.

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...

Memories and Armor

Image
Enemies 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...
