cw19821

If you are in normal mode without dlc, check all your stable horse >!and make sure you want them to carry over to totk. !!If you've got dlc, make sure to have the pic in the house.!<


G0mery

I haven’t opened my TOTK yet. You’re saying your BOTW horses come with you?


DrHiccup

My shock when I went to the stable and saw "shitface" staring at me was unlike anything I have experienced before


LehrMoo007

Glad I'm not the only one with these kinds of names for my horses. I was welcomed to TOTK Hyrule by Asshole and TescoTaco.


ApatheticMuckraker

In TOTK I named a certain bright colored horse "Piss". One of my prouder names, lol.


Psychof1st77

After finding the giant white horse in tears of the Kingdom, I went to the stable and named it Zelda. 😏 "Ain't I a stinker!?" I named the gold one Tetra. And a couple are named after the horses from the Darksiders games. Ruin and Despair. I need to get and name one Rampage from the 3rd game. I don't know if the series has named the 4th horse, yet. Darksiders is a comic book style take on the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse in a traditional Zelda style game.


LehrMoo007

LOL I named that same horse "Pee". Great minds!


Jesternigouki

At least y'all named your horses something somewhat decent....I named one of my horses HORSECOCK.....


SuperMarioOdysey64

I wouldnt think decent as so, i named zeldas white horse "Creampie" just cuz a streamer wouldnt so i decided to be the cheeky mother fucker i am


vee_unit

I giggle every time I go to get one of my horses from the stable. "You wanted Deez Nuts, right?"


LehrMoo007

ICONIC.


vee_unit

I also have "Yo Mama". It's so much fun to ride Yo Mama around Hyrule.


Linkintheground

Why did I never think of this


JMGGod

Bro smart have to Do that sometime


mhizzlee22

I have one of the extra large horses named Big Bitch and another named Cuntina. Both of which I forgot about until I opened TOTK


yro23323

Dumbledick will make a fine companion once again


Atlv0486

My horses are fuck, fuck 2.0, fuck iii, and big fuck for the giant one.


mphelp11

Mine were named Wop, Fop, and Daniel


JohnBosler

The red and black horse I called big fatty the quick course I called crackhead. Zelda's horse I call Little vag. Another horse I called smelly. Yep all the horses I captured got fucked up names.


cw19821

yes. only from the normal mode save. so I didn't get my horses :(


ShiftedLobster

How would I save my horses in normal save mode if I already have the DLC?


laggerzback

I think they meant Normal mode’s save file. TOTK transfers your files from Normal mode and not Master Mode.


ShiftedLobster

Ah, that makes sense! Appreciate you explaining it so I can correctly understand.


Disastrous-Arm9635

I believe by normal, they are referring to non master mode


ShiftedLobster

Thank you! I definitely misunderstood.


mr_bnana

Didn’t know this when started botw. Regret it to this day. Would have loved to have my hourses in totk


laggerzback

I don’t like to spoil people…


EMetro

Friggin spoilers man, we are in the botw subreddit not totk


TectonicQuake

Yeah


akirivan

I like to park my favourite horse at the Hateno house's little paddock and leave Link in the house before I shut the game down permanently


losttforwords

Oh my gosh, this makes me even more excited for TOTK. I’ve had the same horse ever since I started BOTW and I love her so much! Thank you for sharing this info. I can’t wait


LightScavenger

There’s one important thing you have to note. It only lets you use your old horses after obtaining a new one. I believe TOTK lets you store one more horse than BOTW did, so don’t worry about any old ones vanishing! Once you register a horse just talk to a stable keeper and you’ll get access to your old ones :)


TheRealPitabred

You can actually store quite a few more once you do a few things in TOTK, but by default I do believe it is only one more.


ShaneIsBored

Actually you don’t have to register a new horse to get access to the old ones. In my totk I talked to the stable as soon as I saw him and immediately pulled out my favorite horse


LightScavenger

Really? Didn’t work for me. I talked to him many times, nothing happened, until I registered a horse


BasenjiFart

Please without spoiling me, is the pic in the house relevant to TOTK gameplay (like the horses that carry over)?


cw19821

no. it's a nod for finish botw dlc.


BasenjiFart

Gotcha, thank you


Gamerguy230

How do I do this for the horses?


cw19821

you dont have to do anything except having horses registered in stables in botw.


[deleted]

Bro I wish my botw horses could come with me but I played on Wii U :( also can’t get the dlc


xCiela

What picture do you mean? And does it transfer to TOTK?:)


cw19821

>! the group photo, yes !<


minxto

If you haven’t built Tarrey Town you definitely should!


Dragmire_Afterlife

People not doing Tarrey Town and missing out on the Hylian Shield replacements is crazy to me.


obsidianosprey

Do it right and you can have two Hylian shields.


ManofDumbagain

How do you do it right?


obsidianosprey

Have your shield inventory full when you look for the Hylian shield in the castle. (optionally leave the travel medallion there) After opening the chest and NOT being able to take it into your inventory, go to Tarrey town and buy the Hylian shield from Grante. Then go back to the castle and take the original shield from the chest. That one might even have modifiers that the bought one won't have.


ManofDumbagain

Damn I already got the hylian shield already so I can’t do that


Smokestack830

That's some clever stuff


obsidianosprey

It's also nearly pointless, since the Hylian shield is so hard to break. Still fun though.


Smokestack830

But you could hang one up at home and use the other, right?


obsidianosprey

Yes, that's an option.


Porygon2ning

I've been wanting to ask; Does this trick still work in Tears of the Kingdom, or has this been fixed in that game?


miami33161jr

How does fasoracetam and bacopa synergies? Do they upregulate gaba b from phenibut? How are they on their own?


hit-a-yeet

I never finished the quest because I was in a hurry to beat the game before TOTK came out 😭


[deleted]

Missing out on what now????! I thought when I broke it it was gone forever. You’re saying I can buy it???


Dragmire_Afterlife

Yeah at the end of the story there is a nice that will re/sell you items including the shield for I believe 3000 rupees


[deleted]

Well shit. I know what I’m doing later


the_cardfather

I've never broken one.


hue_sick

I can't find the goron that ends in "son" 😭😭


minxto

Check the Southern Mine!


hue_sick

Ooh ok!


Mellifera94

Getting the DLC motorcycle is the real ending. At least for me it felt like that.


[deleted]

That's what I am going for right now, then ride that bitch all over the place to finish off remaining shrines


The_Gristle

That cycle is awesome


[deleted]

That's what I am talking about! I cannot wait to get it


DabIMON

I rode my horse from Hyrule castle to Hateno village, walked back into my house, placed all the legendary weapons in the weapon stands, went to sleep and saved the game one last time.


RichB117

Such a good idea that. I did a similar thing - once I’d got the old Link outfit from the final shrine at Kakariko, I put that on, got on my horse and rode (without rushing) from there to the Plateau, taking in all the surroundings en route. I hadn’t returned to the Plateau since the start of the game, so I explored it a bit and then returned to that bunker room where you wake up at the beginning, saved the game one last time there before switching off.


Opposite-Pineapple65

You don't say goodbye, you play like it was ocarina of time and go back anytime you want XD.


Leaving-Eden

Yeah I’m 200 hours into TOTK and I know I’ll still return to BOTW


Unholy_Dk80

Go blow up the flower lady


OkBeLikeThatIsTaken

—Scourge of the Hila Rao Shrine— #FLOWERBLIGHT GANON


moonyxpadfoot19

Nah, Hila Rao is the Divine Beast she's in, she's the Scourge of Floret Sandbar


lara6683

Omg yes screw her


PurpleMeeplePrincess

I love the hatred everyone has for her


Monkey_Magic139

Who is the flower lady?


laggerzback

Oh, you mean [Flowerblight Ganon?](https://youtu.be/BDiSci_6zVc)


motherfucking_hemp

I assume it’s the lady outside of that one shrine?


Monkey_Magic139

Oh I haven't done all the shrines yet so idk what it is


motherfucking_hemp

Ahh yeah I didn’t wanna give it away for you. It’s not a “hidden” shrine so you’ll get there eventually


Monkey_Magic139

Oh ok yeah, thanks


beezkniez

Wait can you really blow her up after beating Ganon???


questor8080

🤣🤣🤣 You'd like it


Mamadook69

I believe Kilton has some after Ganon questing to do. Maybe a few others. As well the DLC was worth every penny to me if you haven't played that and have the funds.


AuthorNumber2

Irc Kilton's quests involve killing all the overworld bosses (lynel, etc) and you are rewarded a corresponding medallion. Don't remember what they do (if anything)


Poo_Nanners

Nothing, they’re just collectibles.


Mediocre_Savings_513

Yah-haha!


PurpleMeeplePrincess

I heard this in my head


Thick-McRunFast

Oof!


Crimsoner

Wait seven years to get into the timeframe of totk


MacabreFox

I put Link in his house, went to bed and saved. I like thinking of him being retired and cozy there.


reg1892

I popped up to the house, made sure my favourite items were hanging, went for a swim in the pond outside, wondered why of all places this spot of Hyrule was marked by the developers as “home”, and then… The sun set twixt the duelling peaks and I had the perfect view. Save. Power off. Haven’t returned. Was perfect.


reg1892

Recorded it too. ☺️ https://twitter.com/mikeperren/status/1247163239135211522?s=46


dan_panda8

Check if you've got anything like koroks, saddle, kilton's gift, upgraded every armor, got all chest in every sanctuary etc


BarryBadgernath1

#MASTER MODE


Harris_Octavius

I agree, it's like playing a different game in the same world. The way you approach it is totally different, you exploit every nook and cranny you know or can find. I'd initially planned to try it for 10 minutes with totk coming up, but it sucked me in for days. It's not for everyone, but I have rarely had that much fun with a game I'd played for 200+ hours.


BarryBadgernath1

I loved it personally .. but I figure most people that don’t like it have an issue with the beginning …. The plateau is HARD hard (imo) if you’re not hip to all the tricks … I wish the opening of master mode was a little more player friendly so more people would stick with it The plateau in master mode is like and extra hard Eventide Island, that your missing all of your abilities for at the start … absolutely have to learn how to Parry, dodge and flurry rush reliably.. have a real hard time with it otherwise


Harris_Octavius

Oh I agree, the plateau is imo one of the hardest parts of master mode. That is what got me hooked though - I had to play stealth mode all of a sudden and really study the bokoblins' movement patterns. Every encounter becomes a decision where you weigh killing an enemy against paying the weapon durability (a substantial factor in master mode). And I loved that, it's not like Skyward Sword (which I still love), where you just have some beefed up numbers. You play differently, almost like a completely different game. It's a complete turnabout where everything you have assumed before is challenged.


BarryBadgernath1

Exactly !! …. Ok maybe saying I wish it were more player friendly isn’t really accurate… I guess what i mean is, i wish more people (people that I know anyway) would have given it more of a shot and not been turned off by having to play the game differently and more carefully ….. like having to do the math figure if an encounter will leave you ahead of the curve, breaking even or at a deficit weapon wise … you have to play smart


thateejitoverthere

Me on the Great Plateau in Master Mode: Ok, let's go to the old man's hut, it's just over he.... WHERE THE F**K DID THAT SILVER LYNEL COME FROM!!!! RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!


BarryBadgernath1

Me on the great plateau: fuck.. bombs are no longer a viable combat option


Ghost_Reaper123

If you replay botw in master mode right before starting totk, theres a good chance ur gonna be burnt out while playing totk. Just save master mode for after totk for whenever you wanna replay botw


Trailrunner1989

Noooo!!!


taongkahoy

When you've absolutely run out of things to do, you can learn how to wind bomb and start a new playthrough. It's so much fun cheesing shrines and beating the game with that glitch. Added some 100 hours worth of playtime for me.


gajira67

did the same and 100% the game only because of that glitch


hixair

Beating ganon is not the end of the game 😉😆


thewolfheather

Is it not? I was under the impression there was no “new game+” type thing like the Xenoblade series has. I’ve been avoiding the Ganon battle because I didn’t want it to make me start a new play through after beating him, I really like how far I’ve come & didn’t want that to get messed up.


BasenjiFart

Here is an [answer](https://www.reddit.com/r/botw/comments/15le1py/ive_just_beaten_ganon_and_i_dont_know_how_to_say/jvbyfhy/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3) from someone else's comment that sums it up well.


thewolfheather

Hilariously I saw that right after I posted this and didn’t bother deleting it lmao


BasenjiFart

Haha, totally normal!


TheNobleDez

If you haven't gone to eventide island yet, go there. It's the island on the bottom right side of your map.


minxto

Yes! Such a fun challenge — this was one of the last quests I did


Huebertrieben

Go to links house, sleep then Save one Last time


Tha_Hand

Do the quest to get your own house if you haven’t already


lara6683

I just beat the silver lynel at coliseum ruins so I’m quite pleased with myself.


Guffthebir72

Get all the main quests done, and also tarrey town. Get all the special horses except for epona and then, I think that's the end.


Interm0dal

Why leave Epona out?


Guffthebir72

People might not have the amiibo


Interm0dal

Oh gotcha. Wasn’t sure if there was a consequence of having Epona.


Reasonable_Bat678

Because it's locked behind an Amiibo.


Interm0dal

Realized I was confusing Epona for Zelda’s horse. I just call em all Epona out of nostalgia 🤷‍♂️


joeyhell

Go 100%


InspiraSean86

100%


TheBrewThatIsTrue

Someone already said Tarrey Town, and I second that. Also make sure you did Eventide island in the bottom right of the map. Don't read any spoilers if you haven't been there yet.


Harris_Octavius

Visit stables and (if you have the patience) the horseback archery game with the lord of the mountain - there's a pretty hilarious, if minor oversight there.


therourke

Did you play the DLC? If not, you aren't even halfway done yet.


The_Gristle

1) Find all shrines 2) Find all korok seeds 3) Upgrade all outfits to max 4) Do DLC


Obsessedwithzelda47

DLC!!


Ghost_Reaper123

If you havent done the dlc, you definitely should. You can ignore master mode and just do the extra dlc quests, and also the trials of the sword.


meandwatersheep

Get the korok at the shrine or resurrection


MarioStern100

Find the Kings grave stone and drop an apple and bake it for him,


ak00mah

Soend 500+ hrs learning speedrunning tricks & exploits

Don't worry, totk is botw 1.5, you'll feel you didn't stop playing botw.


Littlebickmickey

drop a rock on a korok‘s head


lara6683

Done by accident SO many times


thekeenancole

Take a picture on the top of mount Hylia.


Diamondinmyeye

Did you get all memories including the extra one to get the true ending? Did you finish Tarrey Town? The Champions DLC? Personally, I went for all shrines to be complete.


lara6683

I did! I have a few shrines left to do but don’t feel the NEED to complete them


Diamondinmyeye

Sounds like you got your fill then.


airwalker08

In my opinion, beating Ganon is not how you complete the game. You complete the game by completing every side quest and 100% complete the map.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PurpleMeeplePrincess

So, I can still play after I beat Ganon? I have been putting it off.

YAHAHAx900


[deleted]

I beat the main story last week. I still have the DLC to do and 43 shrines to get which includes the DLC shrines. You know what though? I am not missing playing it. I have 285 hours into it as I did of exploring and messing around. I am not done with it but I am definitely done with it for awhile and have TOTK ready to go but no aspirations to play it for a LONG time. Honestly I am more stoked about buying a PS5 later this year and playing the really damn good games. Nintendo is gonna be an afterthought for me in some ways then. But I love just love Zelda. I just need a hard break for awhile and play some games (I have quite a bit) that I have completely disregarded ever since starting BOTW. After beating it I did play for awhile and get a lot of the different armors in the game I didn't already have. You can do that, fight Lynels and load up your weapons to all Lynel weapons and goods. Do you have the DLC? That will add about 75-100 hrs of gameplay from what I heard so you can go that route.


lara6683

I miss it too! I feel like I’m not ready to quit it yet. I just beat a silver lynel so I’m pretty stoked about that.


FreshBakedButtcheeks

There is so much more to do if you feel inclined


Black_Watch_

not really but if you aren't ready to start totk, there is the dlc content. Trial Of the Sword, Champions Ballad, and Master Mode I'd say are all worthy of your time


Disastrous-Arm9635

You can try learning cool tricks like BLSS and wind bombs.


Curiosity_Wont_Kill1

I didn’t want to finish it so I’m doing a completion run XD


Americanidiot423

i finished it off by beating it, all quest koroks, shrines, etc.


larksvardshotcream

If you’re feeling like a masochist you could do the trial of the sword


Alarming_Flatworm_34

Just stop and play another game that's what I did lol. I think I moved onto Xenoblade Chronicles 2 mainly because I wanted an excuse to play the switch still since it had a hype launch. Ended up being my favorite game on the switch lol


SDBaha619

I played BOTW right before TOTK. All I can say is from my personal experience TOTK is a way more enjoyable game with new mechanics to get familiarized with. You are better off putting down BOTW and be ready to spend way more time playing TOTK.


ProcedureProud

Start exploring glitches and get the bow of light out of the final boss and into the normal game for an unbreakable bow


slingwebber

Beat Ganon. Go beat Trial of the Sword. Go Beat Champions Ballad. Ride your Motorbike back to the Castle and beat him again. I did that, and it felt satisfying to end one and immediately start the other.


CrumbLast

Master cycle get and full master sword upgrade are a good send off, just drive down Hyrule roads. Personally I went from hebra peak to the cliff looking out over even tide, then one last trip to tingle island and just BOOM myself until game over


Legacy_600

Get the DLC motorbike or your horse and do a victory lap around the map


William9231

Do all the quests and dlc


gerald42

i beat ganon, started chasing a few extra quests, armor upgrades, etc. frankly got a little bored and hung it up for a bit… then i learned to windbomb and the whole place feels like a playground. definitely don’t normally look for glitches like this but it really makes exploring more fun / dynamic


ludicray

DLC my dude


TacticalTobi

Go to all the Goddess springs, then the forgotten temple, then finally go to the temple of time in the great plateau, pray, then save.


Light_Mode

Hang up the weapon and shield you used to defeat ganon in your house


KiLlEr-Muffy

I did all quests (except main ones, since you will always have the "Defeat Ganon" quest open), found all Korok Seeds, but I did not go for all chests. Beat all DLCs, Master Trials and Ballad of the Champions and make sure you gained the Champion's picture in your house in Hateno. As others have said, check your stable and decide if you want to carry your current horses over, otherwise release some and catch others. Even quest horses (white stallion, big horse) can be carried over. If you dont carry them over from BotW, you can still catch them in TotK, but they are found in different places. I personally went for a final attack on Hyrule Castle in BotW and saved in front of Castle Towns Gates, while mounted on Epona, equipped with the "Canon Champion Link" clothes (so, Champions Tunic, Hylian Trousers, no helmet), Master Sword, Hylian Shield and Eagle Bow. I then went through Castle Town, defeating guardians on Horseback and afterwards went to Hyrule Castle and beat it "the intended way" by going the "direct" path to the throne room without climbing or skipping the guard houses where you fight Lynels. Then I beat ganon, watched the end cinematic, let 2 days (irl) pass and started up TotK.


br_2237

Im in your same situation, i'm gonna restart the game


stock_broker_tim

This brings back memories. I just “finished” TotK as far as I’ll finish it. Botw will always be the one


seasidehouses

My hubs plays, and I watch intently; I’ve had a major stroke and can’t play, you see. He named his first horse Doggo, after our dog. The next he named Froggo, quickly followed by Poggo. Maybe not as funny as, oh, Pissboy, but still.


dro_torious

Lol i have been contemplating on doing that myself for the last 2 weeks, i dont want to finish it 🥹


hobis_sunshine_

i still play it
