♦ Rules ♦


1. Stay Civil

This is a place for friendly discussion, memes, guides, art, gameplay questions, screenshots and the like. Discrimination and harrassment won't be tolerated.


2. Mark Spoilers

It is okay to post about "related games" (such as Age of Calamity and Breath of the Wild) but please use the spoiler "censor" and do not put spoilers directly into the title, as the censor doesn't work this way. Posts about other Zelda games might be suited better in general Zelda communities, like the ones listed at the bottom of the sidebar.


3. Offtopic Posts

Anything not related to BotW, like politics, religion, non-Zelda games etc. is better suited elsewhere and will be removed. The same goes for NSFW material.


4. No Advertisements

It is okay to post about merchandise, but links to those "design your own merch" sites will be removed, as those are almost always scams featuring stolen art. Affliate links will be removed as well. This isn't Etsy.


5. Provide Sources

If you're going to post art, comics, guides, screenshots etc. that are not your own OC, please mention the name of the original creator and ideally also a link to their portfolio/website. (Pinterest is almost never the original source)


6. Suggestions are Welcome!

Feedback, requests for improvements and constructive criticism are always appreciated ;)

Just started the game and it’s so much fun! I just got sage of wind but I’m still wearing only snow greaves. Wondering how I can get rupees to buy the armor that’s sold in town. Thanks!

By far the most accessible option I found after a decent internet search was the ridiculously huge apple orchard you find on Satori Mountain, east of Central Hyrule, right next to Sonapan Shrine. A full harvest will give you about 150 apples & a few golden apples. If you cook all of these into meals (5 apples together) you can make a bunch selling them. Keep the console powered on next to you for about half an hour and they will all respawn and you can just do it over and over. And you never have to worry about having enough food!

Bonus tip: Farm arrows from the Battle Talus outside Saharsa Slope Skyview Tower southeast of the castle.

Bonus bonus tip: Chopping grass with your weapon anywhere in Hyrule Field has a decent chance of getting you a Restless Cricket. Cook four of them with a monster part of your choice for a full stamina circle elixir.

I haven't found a need to farm anything other than the above so far.

To help with apple farming, you can drop 21 apples on the ground and fuse them all together, and then save that to your autobuild favorites.

Once saved, you just need to select the apple cluster from your autobuild menu and then hover around the trees, and the apples will automatically jump into position. Then just cancel the autobuild, and they'll all drop neatly into a pile for you. Makes clearing out the orchard at Satori Mountain a breeze.

Just to add to this, make sure to include a few golden apples in the cluster, so autobuild will pull them from the trees too.

Just play the game— find, make, and sell stuff. It’s a really fun and well balanced experience as-is IMO, go do other thing if current thing not doable.

If you feel like glitching, dupe diamonds. The shield hop dupe glitch will let you dupe 5 at a time.

It made me a bit nostalgic for the Elder Scrolls method of having each merchant having only so much money to buy from you with, which limits tricks like that. I'm dubious that Beedle really had 5000 rupees for me.

I think they patched that in 1.2.0

[–] BitSound@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

This is why I don't upgrade games or the Switch itself unless I really need to. I understand the reasons for anticheat in multiplayer, but in singleplayer I do what I want. I also only really do single player games anyways. Looks like I'm on 1.0.0 for TotK, so the dupe glitches work fine.

I just sell stones and things I have in large quantity. I also heard that cooking skewers of five prime meats gives a good return. Prime meat is plentiful in Hebra if you hunt wolves and moose.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I've got to think somebody has done an economic analysis of all the meals in the game and their payouts relative to ingredient investment. I wonder what the most profitable meal to cook is.

Check every cave, harvest ore, take the stonez to the Gerudo Woman in Goron city to get 10% more.

If you go this route it's probably worth it to give lots of flint to Gomo too, if you have extra

[–] skulblaka@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I've given that mother fucker like 800 flint and haven't seen any return on it, fuck Gomo, all my homies hate Gomo

I mean I'm not doing anything else with my flint but I still feel like I'm getting ripped off
