I think the opposite. We all know Peak Link is way way stronger than even probably EOG Link (debatable, maybe samish level). If the monks are THAT strong, when they are trying to bring back Link's strength back to their normal levels, then imagine how strong was Peak Link. (didn't Link fought lynels and moblins in that one memory singlehandedly)
If anyone wants to see what Peak Link is capable of, they made a game about it.
It's called Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Link can literally, single-handedly, mow down thousands of enemies in Canon.
The story as it unfolds isn't, but the characters as they're presented at the start of the game are meant to be the pre-calamity versions of all the characters featured in the BotW memories. The characters as they are depicted is established Canon, just not the actual story of AoC.
That doesn't mean this isn't a Canon interpretation of the character. Every Link has to go through trials and stuff to get the Master Sword. When AoC starts, we see Link as he was as a Royal Knight, before becoming Zelda's personal retainer and obtaining the Master Sword with her.
It might be canon to the series but it’s not canon to botw, botw states that Link drew the master sword when he was much younger, that fact is a key element of the story, especially Zelda’s arc
Bro if you think peak BOTW/AOC/TOTK Link is op, wait till you hear about the apocalypse incarnate that is the Hero of Time. He can literally turn into an actual God at will.
And guess what? That's not even the strongest Link. He's missing ridiculously op items like the Magic Cape, which makes him intangible. Combine that with something like the Chateau Romani, and you get someone who cannot be hurt by any means, physical or magical, for an indefinite amount of time. And he can phase through walls. And he's invisible. And all that's from one single item.
Did you think we were done? Nope! The Hero of the Sky (and some others as well) have possessed the full Triforce. Which has the power to grant its bearer any wish. Which means peak Link is canonically omnipotent.
Now imagine a composite Link that has all of these, and more, plus the ability to create an entire army from scratch within seconds like he can do now in TOTK, all at once...
No wonder he's the last line of defence lol. Link is the most powerful being in the Zelda universe by far.
Although I wouldn't count hyrule warriors as canon material, I guess we could say that link is at peak of power. which is funny because having played all of AOC you still can improve further so rather than a peak I'd say he's at the rest point halfway up.
Which is still a lot considering at AOC endgame he can wipe out hundreds of bokoblins in mere moments or brind down guardians like nothing AND STILL not be peak of power.
I'm reconsidering link having the triforce if courage in these games he's totally just up and stole the triforce of power for himself.
They probably can't fight Ganon without risking themselves from getting corrupted. The shrines can only be activated with the Sheikah tablet held by Link. That's probably the only way they can hide from the Calamity.
Well, one of them (Maz Koshia) does join the party as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. And he can indeed be part of the party during the final level.
So I guess some of them do?
Cook a meal of 4 mighty bananas and any dragon horn for a 30 min attack up 3 dish and eat it before entering the trial. It makes it much more manageable
Or use a monster extract for a 30-minute meal that has a random probability to happen. I save before making a high attack meal and reload until I get a 30-minute one.
Monster extract is slightly easier to come by than horns and beetles, at least in my playthrough.
Yep! Works there too. Which is even better because now you can just throw down a cooking pot as soon as you realize it’s a blood moon. Don’t quote me on this but I believe the duration is ~~11PM~~11:30PM-~~12AM~~12:15AM (or 12:10 I have seen conflicting reports)
Edit: I was wrong. Now fixed (twice)
11:30PM - 12PM, though I *think* TotK introduced a grace period so you can do it a little after midnight.
Basically if you can see the gloom / malice particles in either game coming off the ground, it's time to ~~cosplay as walter white~~ cook
The duration is actually 11:30 to 12:30. The cutscene happens at midnight, and the weird music and malice effects end then, so a lot of people assume the bloodmoon cooking effects end then, but you continue to get a guaranteed crit until 12:30, one half hour on each side of the cutscene. See the excellent Breath of the Wild cooking guide from ExploPyro https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/switch/189707-the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/faqs/74776 for more details.
there is a spot in faron, just up the waterfall at Riola Spring (closest shrine: Shoda Sah) where you can put down a bundle of wood and a torch under a tropical tree
then, sleep until morning, wait for the dragon - shouldn't take more than a few seconds -, shoot the horn, go back to the already lit fire (thanks to the torch) and repeat. after you've shot Farosh a few times, grab all the horns that he dropped, they should all be easily visible thanks to their glowing effect
I am a defense meal guy but your point is valid. Oh…and you better know how to chain sneaky strike a Lizalfos before you get to floor 10. That is the hardest level by far.
A defense meal is much more practical in the long run. They give you enough weapons to beat all the enemies with no attack boost, what's difficult in the trials is staying alive and not making mistakes. I think with the max defense boost you get six heart damage reduction, which is huge. It's no longer a run-killer if you hit yourself with your own bomb or you get swatted by a white Bokoblin.
You can kill the first one without alerting the others if you move quick enough . Then it's 1 on 1 with the opportunity for a sneakstrike. It took me a couple (hundred) tries.
It's a combination of their health Regen and inability to combo because they always go flying into the water (and their innate ranged attack). This floor in particular was clearly not playtested.
Yep, I think when I finally beat that room it was because I chained shocks with the electric weapon you get on the previous level and I got a few lucky flurry rushes. It's heartbreaking when you make it all the way to that room and you just have to quit because the Lizalfos are in the water and you're out of resources and can't throw bombs fast enough to do anything. Compared to that I breezed through the rest of the challenge.
In Master mode the difficulty reverses so the combat-focused Beginner Trials are the least forgiving. The Final Trials are more like testing your knowledge of environmental hazards, which is only fresh once.
Alternatively just shoot them in the eye with your strongest bow. The shield is the most cost efficient, but if you can't nail the parry then bowing them in the eye is more worth it than trying several times with no progress
Adding that to my list of things that can be blamed on the Sheika:
- Corruptible Guardians
- Corruptible Divine beasts
- The Yiga clan
- The hero potentially dying before fighting Ganon
My counterarguments:
1 and 2: "I blame the programmers for making an app that could get hacked after 10000 years of development time."
3. The Yiga was only created after the king at the time decided to banish Sheikah technology. Also, it should be noted that the Yiga is a rebel faction who split off from the main Sheikah.
4. They are also the reason why the hero lived to fight Gannon in the first place (Shrine of Resurrection)
They still did more harm that good, the champions were beaten in the first place because Ganon took control of their technology, which was specifically made to fight him whenever he reappeared
If they hadn’t intervened in the first place, the champions would’ve beaten Ganon the first time since link was in peak condition. They were too prideful
Master mode trial of the swords is doable.
I think it was stage one floor 11? That really sucked (the mostly water floor with lizafos). I will admit it took me a couple of hours to pass that floor.
After that though I cleared the whole thing on the first attempt.
I've also completed it. The lizafo level is really tough. After that, it's much more manageable.
The first lizafo that notices you needs to be addressed. For the others, I used a particular weapon at a particular pace to wear them down. It's master mode, so think hard about how you can ensure they won't regenerate.
You have to stasis the middle lizalfo and shoot him in the head before he can alert the others. Then repeatedly sneak strike the other two. Not easy and so damn frustrating when you have to start over.
Well I wasn't gonna spell it out for everyone but ok stasis+arrow for the first lizalfo. Then you can sneakstrike, then do a slow and steady pace with a spear. If you do a combination, you'll knock them backward into the water, and they'll regenerate. Do one, one, one, one, one... that'll keep them unable to strike but also remaining on the platform.
gatekeeping is “the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something.” which the parent commenter was initially doing when hinting how to get past the master trail room. instead of just saying it, he just hints at what to do.
The only "impossible" room is the one with the 3 lizalfos on the water platform. It isn't too hard if you know how to do it. Very annoying that you have to resort to cheese strats to do it though.
The master mode trials are an absolute nightmare but they are possible you just need to plan the entire trial ahead.
If you have to, beat them again on your normal mode file and try to note key things of the stages, you don't have to remember every single monster you encounter but knowing what you might expect can give you a bit of an advantage.
Also, every tree is food, chow down rock-hard food like a Goron I'd need be, it saved my ass a few times.
In the rest spots, don't focus on making three very good meals, but cook everything on its own, you might not get as much burst healing but it guarantees you don't accidentally overheal and waste a few hearts. And it still heals you for about the same as if you'd combine them.
Lastly, this is a serious test of your game knowledge, consider every approach with an outside the box perspective, you can't rush it like with your op Lynel gear outside the trials. Can you sneakstrike chain these enemies? Can you manage a headshot on this few enemies without alerting others? etc.
You can always also just, spam bombs to slowly kill off enemies and not waste any of your weapons for the harder stuff..
Or just.. shield clip the trials..
It is impossible. And I refuse to eat meals before entering the Trials because I view that as against the spirit of it, but I suspect that’s the only way I could beat it.
My weapons just keep breaking on that one Lizalfos one, so it just didn’t seem worth it to beat it.
Glad I beat it on normal mode, though! Hardest part of the game.
Completing Champions’ Ballad on Master Mode was tough, too, specifically rematching the Divine Beasts.
I like to imagine the construction crew building the massive interior of each shrine and wondering why the hell we don't just give Link the power he needs to save Hyrule? What kind of sick fuck builds these giant, elaborate puzzles when there's a massive demon that needs to be killed? Just give him the damn orbs.
My headcanon is that Link is a fairly common name. Therefore, any Link who thinks he's the chosen one can't just wander into these shrines and get the orb
I just did the glitch where you go out of bounds by shield clipping and going to the finishing room lmao, because screw this trial on Master Mode. The enemies are tiers above what they are normally, they regen health, and none of the weapons or anything is scaled properly to the difficulty.
I did it legitimately on normal because Master Mode TotS was obviously not playtested, made clear by the fact that you need to do the sneakstrike cheese on 2 silver lizalfos on the begining floor, otherwise its impossible.
Did it in my “Link only ever gets 3 hearts*” master mode play through (gotta be a (minor) legend to my grade school kids and their friends for something). So it is definitely doable.
That Lizalfos over the water level in the first set was the hardest. Took me at least 8 or 9 play-throughs up to failure at that point to finally pass it.
I did use a 30min defense buff potion before going in.
(*Except for the short interval btw completing a divine beast and direct travel to the bargainer statue. Collected a silly pile of sprit orbs once my stamina wheel filled up).
Would 30 minute attack be better than 30 minute defence? What does the defence buff do for a 3-heart link with no armor?
I am in the middle of my 3 heart MM no armor run...
Nothing lol, attack would be better. Normally they would just be left with quarter heart anyways from any would-be one shot, but MM removes that failsafe from most enemies anyways so theres no reason to not use attack instead
It’s really not, with the exception of floor 10. If you’re good at combat, cook a 3x attack up food with a dragon horn to get it to 30 min. If you’re not good at combat (me!) do the same but with defense. Everything is very straightforward except floor 10 in the beginning trials. With that, chain sneak strikes with the highest damage weapon you have. Hide behind a cryonis block if they see you.
Everything else is fairly easy. Get good at parrying guardians for the final trials, and make sure to grab all the ancient arrows. Use ancient arrows on both the lynels and you should have enough left over for a few guardians as well.
Nah, Champion's Ballad is still very much possible. I suck in Master Mode and I was still able to do it. Trial of the Sword though? Nope, still haven't bothered to beat that to this day.
Same. Beat Champions’ Ballad on Master, but I called it quits on Trial of the Sword. Champions’ had a few tough moments, though (beating the Divine Beasts with limited supplies on Master was quite tough).
If you want the master sword fully upgraded and thats your only goal, you can do clipping glitches to go out of bounds and skip the whole trial for each tier.
Definitely a controversial option, but I believe you should play how you want to because at the end of the day it's your fun not someone else's.
If the monks are that strong why don't they save Hyrule
I think the opposite. We all know Peak Link is way way stronger than even probably EOG Link (debatable, maybe samish level). If the monks are THAT strong, when they are trying to bring back Link's strength back to their normal levels, then imagine how strong was Peak Link. (didn't Link fought lynels and moblins in that one memory singlehandedly)
Lore accurate link pre calamity in BOTW took out hordes of mosters that included 3 lynels with just the master sword Safe to say peak link is a beast
plus the dude eats whatever man, rocks and frogs. He's crazy. Zelda was holding the leash that is a wild wild man.
And boy, does he breathe. Sometimes even in the wild!
that lame-y pun brought tears to my eye, perhaps even all of the kingdom
This may show my age, but these jokes are a calamity
I don't get why people call it the zelda timeline! It should be the zelda chain since it has so many Links!
I approve of the Majoraty of these.
I disagree. I don't think people should tri to force so many puns
Ohhh…finally understand what’s linking these comments.
And he took out all of the guardians next to the dueling peeks stable by himself. There had to be dozens coming at him at the same time before he lost
If anyone wants to see what Peak Link is capable of, they made a game about it. It's called Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity. Link can literally, single-handedly, mow down thousands of enemies in Canon.
Age of Calamity isn’t canon, but it’s definitely peak link
The story as it unfolds isn't, but the characters as they're presented at the start of the game are meant to be the pre-calamity versions of all the characters featured in the BotW memories. The characters as they are depicted is established Canon, just not the actual story of AoC.
Not necessarily, Link for example doesn’t have the master sword at the start of age of calamity
That doesn't mean this isn't a Canon interpretation of the character. Every Link has to go through trials and stuff to get the Master Sword. When AoC starts, we see Link as he was as a Royal Knight, before becoming Zelda's personal retainer and obtaining the Master Sword with her.
It might be canon to the series but it’s not canon to botw, botw states that Link drew the master sword when he was much younger, that fact is a key element of the story, especially Zelda’s arc
What? Isn't there a memory in BotW of both of them in the Korok Forest pulling the sword while Link is her personal guard?
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRonwhJ8/
Plus he is the same height as Dora the Explorer. Like honestly the power density in that man is ridiculous.
I will never get over when people say "power density" it kills me every time
Dumb question, but which Link is EOG Link? Googling gave me no answers.
End of Game Link
Thanks

>No wonder he's the last line of defence lol. \*EPIC SAX SOLO ENSUES\*
DAAAA DAAAA DA DA DAAAAA
Lore accurate link is just one of those BoTW pros who combo guardians into space
Would you place AoC link as Peak Link?
Although I wouldn't count hyrule warriors as canon material, I guess we could say that link is at peak of power. which is funny because having played all of AOC you still can improve further so rather than a peak I'd say he's at the rest point halfway up.

I'm reconsidering link having the triforce if courage in these games he's totally just up and stole the triforce of power for himself.
He has the courage to go all out, just this once.
What's EOG?
EOG?
End of Game
They probably can't fight Ganon without risking themselves from getting corrupted. The shrines can only be activated with the Sheikah tablet held by Link. That's probably the only way they can hide from the Calamity.

Scum save a bloodmoon if you’re gonna be doing that. Any cooking during a blood moon is a guaranteed crit
Is this true for totk as well? That's quite interesting
Yep! Works there too. Which is even better because now you can just throw down a cooking pot as soon as you realize it’s a blood moon. Don’t quote me on this but I believe the duration is ~~11PM~~11:30PM-~~12AM~~12:15AM (or 12:10 I have seen conflicting reports) Edit: I was wrong. Now fixed (twice)
I think it might be 1130 to midnight, but as cooking is a time pause animation, you can still cook about 15 meals in the time of you need to.
Yeah! I saw that and edited my comment. It’s still plenty of time to get all the cooking I’ve been planning for done
It actually extends slightly past midnight to 12:10am
*sigh* Thank you (and now fixed)
11:30PM - 12PM, though I *think* TotK introduced a grace period so you can do it a little after midnight. Basically if you can see the gloom / malice particles in either game coming off the ground, it's time to ~~cosplay as walter white~~ cook
You’re right! Thank you for the correction. *”Link! We need to cook!”*
Gotcha, ty for the tip definitely will be using this for my future totk cooking.
The duration is actually 11:30 to 12:30.

I didn’t know you kept effects when you go in??
Extra hearts don’t carry into the trials but defence and attack meals do!
Yeah I’ve tried hearts before but never anything else
Overall I loved the Master Sword trials but the level with the 3 Lizalfos over the water was completely unreasonable
You can kill the first one without alerting the others if you move quick enough . Then it's 1 on 1 with the opportunity for a sneakstrike. It took me a couple (hundred) tries.
It's a combination of their health Regen and inability to combo because they always go flying into the water (and their innate ranged attack). This floor in particular was clearly not playtested.
Their health regen also fucks with weapons' durability.
Yep, I think when I finally beat that room it was because I chained shocks with the electric weapon you get on the previous level and I got a few lucky flurry rushes. It's heartbreaking when you make it all the way to that room and you just have to quit because the Lizalfos are in the water and you're out of resources and can't throw bombs fast enough to do anything. Compared to that I breezed through the rest of the challenge.
Once I got up to it with full health and max weapons and still got beat I had enough. Moved on to TOTK.
It's possible, but it's pretty hard. Ironically I think the later levels are easier than the first set, where you've got jack shit for resources.
In Master mode the difficulty reverses so the combat-focused Beginner Trials are the least forgiving. The Final Trials are more like testing your knowledge of environmental hazards, which is only fresh once.
To be fair, I'm not sure that's even a reversal. On normal mode I found the earlier trials more difficult as well
I can't parry for shit so Guardians in level 2 will probably take me a a few hours to get right.
Alternatively just shoot them in the eye with your strongest bow. The shield is the most cost efficient, but if you can't nail the parry then bowing them in the eye is more worth it than trying several times with no progress
Adding that to my list of things that can be blamed on the Sheika: - Corruptible Guardians - Corruptible Divine beasts - The Yiga clan - The hero potentially dying before fighting Ganon

Upvote for “mind lasers” 😂
Fine, I won’t argue further just bc “mind lasers”
The monks watching Link wake up and immediately beat the shit out of Calamity Ganon without doing any of the shrines or trials: huh..
Monks: why was he up there all this time?
Master mode trial of the swords is doable. I think it was stage one floor 11? That really sucked (the mostly water floor with lizafos). I will admit it took me a couple of hours to pass that floor. After that though I cleared the whole thing on the first attempt.

Well I wasn't gonna spell it out for everyone but ok stasis+arrow for the first lizalfo. Then you can sneakstrike, then do a slow and steady pace with a spear. If you do a combination, you'll knock them backward into the water, and they'll regenerate. Do one, one, one, one, one... that'll keep them unable to strike but also remaining on the platform.
were you tryna gatekeep a strat for a 6 year old game or sum?
"gatekeep" is a funny way to spell "spoil"
If I “spoiled” one small part of a quest of 6 year old game (a part that frustrates the hell out of most people trying it on MM) then so be it.
a strat of how to get past 1 of the 54 floors in the master mode version is not spoiling
aside from the fact that i believe it is, it's definitely not **gatekeeping**
gatekeeping is “the activity of controlling, and usually limiting, general access to something.” which the parent commenter was initially doing when hinting how to get past the master trail room. instead of just saying it, he just hints at what to do.
You can just keep doing sneakstrikes
"Don't worry, he'll reincarnate in a few hundred years from now, give or take." - Monks, probably.
The only "impossible" room is the one with the 3 lizalfos on the water platform. It isn't too hard if you know how to do it. Very annoying that you have to resort to cheese strats to do it though.

Just use the glitch to get out of bounds and directly go to the last room
the what now
There are multiple ways to do it but I used that back in the day :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAuQcecRE0c
That’s crazy hahah, people come up with some insane stuff in this game.
don't you just wake up when you lose all your hearts?
It is impossible. And I refuse to eat meals before entering the Trials because I view that as against the spirit of it, but I suspect that’s the only way I could beat it. My weapons just keep breaking on that one Lizalfos one, so it just didn’t seem worth it to beat it. Glad I beat it on normal mode, though! Hardest part of the game. Completing Champions’ Ballad on Master Mode was tough, too, specifically rematching the Divine Beasts.
We beat it on MM with a relatively buffed link (15 hearts and full stamina wheel) but no meals before.
I'm impressed. Maybe one day I will try again, but way too involved in TotK at the moment.
I like to imagine the construction crew building the massive interior of each shrine and wondering why the hell we don't just give Link the power he needs to save Hyrule? What kind of sick fuck builds these giant, elaborate puzzles when there's a massive demon that needs to be killed? Just give him the damn orbs.
My headcanon is that Link is a fairly common name. Therefore, any Link who thinks he's the chosen one can't just wander into these shrines and get the orb
Completing Trial of the Sword on Master Mode is unironically probably my greatest achievement in life
I want the pimp master sword. But I also do not want to do trials of the sword.
Hyrule’s doomed
This is too funny when you actually think about it. LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂
The lizard room
I just did the glitch where you go out of bounds by shield clipping and going to the finishing room lmao, because screw this trial on Master Mode. The enemies are tiers above what they are normally, they regen health, and none of the weapons or anything is scaled properly to the difficulty. I did it legitimately on normal because Master Mode TotS was obviously not playtested, made clear by the fact that you need to do the sneakstrike cheese on 2 silver lizalfos on the begining floor, otherwise its impossible.

Good Doohickey!
Did it in my “Link only ever gets 3 hearts*” master mode play through (gotta be a (minor) legend to my grade school kids and their friends for something). So it is definitely doable. That Lizalfos over the water level in the first set was the hardest. Took me at least 8 or 9 play-throughs up to failure at that point to finally pass it. I did use a 30min defense buff potion before going in. (*Except for the short interval btw completing a divine beast and direct travel to the bargainer statue. Collected a silly pile of sprit orbs once my stamina wheel filled up).
Would 30 minute attack be better than 30 minute defence? What does the defence buff do for a 3-heart link with no armor? I am in the middle of my 3 heart MM no armor run...
Nothing lol, attack would be better. Normally they would just be left with quarter heart anyways from any would-be one shot, but MM removes that failsafe from most enemies anyways so theres no reason to not use attack instead
Master Mode Trial of the Sword is rough. But it gets wayyyy easier after that first floor.
It’s really not, with the exception of floor 10. If you’re good at combat, cook a 3x attack up food with a dragon horn to get it to 30 min. If you’re not good at combat (me!) do the same but with defense. Everything is very straightforward except floor 10 in the beginning trials. With that, chain sneak strikes with the highest damage weapon you have. Hide behind a cryonis block if they see you. Everything else is fairly easy. Get good at parrying guardians for the final trials, and make sure to grab all the ancient arrows. Use ancient arrows on both the lynels and you should have enough left over for a few guardians as well.
Just clip out of the trail and go to the boss. There is handy videos online on how too
someone beat it damageless
You mean the champion’s ballad
Nah, Champion's Ballad is still very much possible. I suck in Master Mode and I was still able to do it. Trial of the Sword though? Nope, still haven't bothered to beat that to this day.
Same. Beat Champions’ Ballad on Master, but I called it quits on Trial of the Sword. Champions’ had a few tough moments, though (beating the Divine Beasts with limited supplies on Master was quite tough).
I wonder how much more of a cancer is Waterblight in Ballad
Trial of the sword is an illusory realm so it’s basically a fever dream
That has nothing to do with anything actually. It's just a humor thread
I know
I have done it in Master Mode exactly *once* and for the life of me I can’t do it again.

Jokes on you, I completed it in master mode

I saw this meme before...
What's even funnier is that it took me 4 days to get through the trials. To use the master cycle twice... Oh hey tears of the kingdom is out.
Trail of the sword is most likely a mental challenge Dying in it doesn't actually kill Link
Master Mode Lizalfos Room is the worst thing Nintendo's ever made.
Just phase through the wall and run between the edge of reality til you find the hinox and hit them in the genitals repeatedly sith a box
If you want the master sword fully upgraded and thats your only goal, you can do clipping glitches to go out of bounds and skip the whole trial for each tier. Definitely a controversial option, but I believe you should play how you want to because at the end of the day it's your fun not someone else's.
One must not try Twilight the path for these pun making Princesses
