Zelda and Link in a frozen underwater cave.

What do you mean there's not reception here? #Zelda #link #SheikahSlate #Ice #sand #figures

Link: These must be the notes Zelda put together for the Sheikah Slate. Any bits I haven't learned yet? Zelda's Notes: Purah helped me to figure out this strange device she calls the Sheikah Slate (dumb name, I know). Somehow, it can instantly capture moments of time and preserve them as pictures, without the need for an artist. Truly amazing! Zelda's Notes: She also told me there's reason to believe the power source may spontaneously combust, so we're trying to break it open to double check. Link (holding his duct taped Sheikah Slate in surprise): WAIT, ARE YOU SERIOUS!?! I DID THAT AS A JOKE!!! WHY IS THIS A THING!!!

621 - Ganon's Hyrule Castle Tower 10: DEEP Callback
You don't keep drawing duct tape on your Sheikah Slate and not call back to it

Link (using Magnesis): OPEN THE GATES!!! The gates proceed to open quickly and smack into Link.

Link (ready with a Sheikah Slate): Alright, got another of these ball dropping Shrines. I think I got the timing down, now let's see if I got the ball over the switch- Link proceeds to be crushed by a giant ball, a bloody SPLAT ringing through the Shrine.

592 - Drop It Right Now! DROP IT!
God I wish this was possible

Link stands near a metal part of the floor while an off screen Guardian Scout charges its laser with a BZZZZZ. Link (eyes closed, holding the Sheikah Slate): Oh no, it's the laser again, and this time there isn't even any water to make ice blocks with. Link: Ha, psyche! Link uses Magnesis to lift the metal block up from the ground to block the laser, flipping off the Guardian Scout. Guardian Scout (still off screen): BZZZLIKESERIOUSLYWHODESIGNED- THISPLACEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

550 - Metal Move, Bro
Besides a couple that use normal columns, this is the only other Test of Strength that actually mixes it up

Link is shown maniacally throwing Remote Bombs, multiple soaring through the air. Explosions are going off left and right, as Bokoblins try to flee but few survive.

547 - Blow Them All
I got a LOT of use out of Remote Bombs, if you couldn't tell

Link stands in water while an off screen Guardian Scout charges its laser with a BZZZZZ. Link (eyes closed, holding the Sheikah Slate): Oh no, you're charging that big laser attack, and there's nothing to protect me. Link: Ha, psyche! Link creates a Cyonis ice block using the water to block the laser, flipping off the Guardian Scout. Guardian Scout (still off screen): BZZZZZIWASWONDERINGWHYITWAS- FLOODEDINHEREZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

546 - Cool Move, Bro
As poorly optimized as these Shrines were, at least they mixed it up once in a blue moon

Step 1: Ice Chuchu Freeze Bokoblins in place by killing them first. Step 2: Remote Bomb Blow the frozen Bokoblin to pieces with ease.

Link (ready with the Sheikah Slate): I got your number, Shrine! I just gotta grab one of the big metal balls while it's rolling down the- Link proceeds to get run over by the big metal ball, hitting him with a loud and painful SMACK.

537 - Reflexes, Thy Name is SPLAT!

Link launches one of those Shrine puzzle orbs using Stasis across the sea, splashing in the water... and a ways away from the shore. Link (watching the ball drift): ... I could just hope it'll float the rest of the way... but I think I gotta swim it over... (softly) Or Cryonis it if I can remember I have it.

There are lots of ways to solve puzzles...

Link (rolling a Round Remote Bomb to a sleeping Red Hinox): WAKEY WAKEY BOMBS AND BAKEY!!! The bomb is detonated with a loud KABOOM. As the smoke clears, the Hinox is seen still sleeping soundly. Hinox (mumbling in its sleep): ...................Iwannaridethepony.................... Link: Or I'll just wake you up normally.

509 - Hit the Snooze
Okay, but even if I didn't roll the bomb close enough, it should've woken up!

Link places a Square Remote Bomb on top of a block attached to a rail, and uses a Round Remote Bomb (detonated with a KABOOM) to launch it upward, crashing through stone barriers. Link: YOURS IS THE CUBE THAT WILL SHATTER THE HEAVENS!!!

Link (staring at the Sheikah Slate): Alright, so there's a Shrine somewhere in the path of Gerudo Town... wait a minute... The map shows a cursor indicating Link's location on the road between Kara Kara Bazaar to the northeast and Gerudo Town (with a Shrine nearby) to the southwest. Link: There's a road to Gerudo Town? Lost in the desert sand? Huh.

441 - On the Road Again?
Did anyone else know there was a road in Gerudo Desert? I didn't for the longest time, and I'm sure I forgot when I played TotK

Link (handing the Sheikah Slate over): Robbie, my tech man! I got some Guardian parts and a need for ancient magic shit that you can help me with! Robbie (reaching for the slate): Well, if you got enough of the right stuff (and money), then I can get you some ancient weapons and armor! You can just put that Sheikah Slate away and we can get started- Link (throwing his hands up in frustration, dropping the slate): SERIOUSLY!?! YOU TOO, ROBBIE!?! BUT I WANT TO UPGRADE ALL MY APPS!!! I CANNOT BE SATISFIED UNTIL I FULLY UPGRADE ALL THAT AN BE UPGRADEABLE, WITHIN REASON, AND THIS IS REASON FOR ME!!! Robbie (too softly for Link to hear): But you already have, son, you're good!

440 - That Hole Inside That Only I Can Fill (and already have)
I just needed those little plus signs next to ALL of my apps!
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #SheikahSlate #apps #upgrade #complete #couldntdoitthere #trythisplace #cantdoithereeither #notpossible #alreadydone #notenough #cantbesatisfied

Link (looking through the Sheikah Slate): Honestly, I was only interested in updating the Stasis App (cuz freezing enemies is funny), but I might as well upgrade the rest. Purah: Okkie dokey, Linky! I'll take some of those Guardian innards, upgrade your Remote Bombs, and you're good to go! Link: Just the bombs? What about Magnesis and Cryonis? You can't upgrade those two? Unless... maybe Robbie can upgrade the rest. That makes some kinda sense, get me to visit him more often. Okay, on to Robbie's Lab! Purah (too soft for Link to hear): Wait, but the other ones aren't upgradeable...

439 - Who Cares, No Big Deal, I Want More
I mean, sure, how could you upgrade Magnesis and Cryonis from what they are, but still it's weird half of the apps aren't upgradable

A metal ball containing an electric power source is pushed through the air by a mechanism overhead. Link: I think if I get the timing right, I can grab that ball in the air with Magnesis. Link (holding up the Sheikah Slate with a sly grin): Or... Link proceeds to press a button on the slate to activate Stasis on the ball, stopping it dead in its tracks.

435 - Take the Cool Way Home
Gotta love when you have more than one option to solve puzzles (especially when they look this cool)!

Link presses a button on his Sheikah Slate, making the mechanisms of Divine Beast Vah Naboris turn from his right. The mechanism slowly turns to Link's left as he stands waiting. Once it's done, link presses another button to make the mechanism turn more. Link (as the mechanism turns slowly some more): A major test of patience if I've ever seen one.

404 - Vah Nabooru 7: Turning and Waiting
Did the other Divine Beasts move this slowly?

A Bokoblin is seen riding a horse through the fields. The Bokoblin is frozen in place by an upgraded Stasis, and the horse continues to run forward without it. Stasis wears off and the Bokoblin falls flat on its face. The Bokoblin is visibly confused as it gets up. Link (off-screen): PFFFFFFF-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

265 - Freeze Mister!
I don't care that I didn't ever use it after this, Stasis+ was totally worth it!

Purah (as narration): With the Sheikah Sensor +, you can find specific objects in Hyrule by taking pictures of them and storing them in your Hyrule Compendium: perfect for side quests and finding certain ingredients or armor upgrades. Link (staring at a mushroom he found using this upgrade): ... Again I say, it's handy, but at this point I would actually prefer sticking with the Shrine part of the sensor for a while, Grannie.

LINKTOBER DAY 24 : SCIENCE/TECH

This duo always makes me laugh

#zelda #purah #robbie #sheikah #illustration #fanart #robot #sheikahslate #day24 #linktober #inktober

Hey Purah, I hear you can upgrade my apps. Could ya take a look? (And don't call me Linky) Purah: Sure thing! Let me see your Sheikah Slate and any Guardian innards you have and I'll see what runes I can beef up! Camera upgraded The things you take pictures of for the Hyrule Compendium can now be tracked down with your Sheikah Sensor. Link stares at the Sheikah Slate. Link: ... Great. Thanks. Now can you upgrade the apps I actually care about?

Link (after activating Stasis): Stop the stone block, and now I can grab this chest! Link (with the block in Stasis dinging): With a place like this, the loot has got to be top quality shite! I'm pretty stoked! Link (the dinging getting quicker): An Ancient Core... huh? I guess I'll make use of this in later comics. Link (Stasis wears off and the stone block falls): So what was that "dinging" for again?

Stasis really doesn't give you a lot of time, does it?

A Cryonis ice block is launched by Vah Ruta with mechanical elephant roaring being heard behind it. Link panically raises his Sheikah Slate to it, using Cryonis to successfully break the ice block. Link: I can break ice block projectiles, that I didn't even create, with Cryonis? Link: Is this becoming one of my favorite Zelda games!?

166 - Who Knew This Was a Thing?
It's a mechanic I wish was used more in the game, but it's still enough to bump the cool factor up quite a bit!

Stephen: You can use Magnesis to make sailing on rafts easier? I know there's a lot of crazy shit you can do in Breath of the Wild, but that sounds a little TOO ludicrous! Stephen proceeds to see examples of this exploit online and processes what he sees. Link (using Magnesis to push a claymore against the sail of a raft, making it move): SEE THE LINE WHERE THE SKY MEETS THE SEA? IT CAAAAAALLS MEEEEEEEEEEE! AND NO ONE KNOOOOOOOOOOOO-OWS HOW FAR IT GOOOOOOOOOOOO-OES!

Exploits and glitches are fun :)

Link (narrating over a greyed out flashback of a past version of Link breaking a weapon on a metal crate): Tired of wasting all of your weapons' durability on that giant metal crate when you just want those sweet little goodies? Link (showing a Remote Bomb): Just blow that fat skank up with your Remote Bomb! The bomb explodes, destroying the crate and sending rupees and cooked food flying. Link: WOOT!!!

120 - In Game Life Hacks
Seriously, out of all the runes, I got the most mileage out of the Remote Bombs. Messy, but handy in a pinch!

Link: So Zelda's Instagram feed is tied to my memories somehow. Let's see what's the dealio... Zelda's photo gallery consists exclusively of landscapes and Hyrule scenery, all places that have yet to be explored in this playthrough. Link: ... Link: Welp... at least it's not full of stupid selfies. That's something.

114 - Hashtag Where Am I Supposed to Go
Not what I would've initially thought when I heard Zelda as an Instagram influencer

Impa (addressing the Sheikah Slate with the duct tape starting to peel): I couldn't help but notice the duct tape precariously wrapped around your Sheikah Slate. It would appear that it is missing something important. Link: I've been thinking about that. This phone has got godly, world-changing apps, and yet no camera. Impa: There is someone in Hateno Village who may be able to help. I believe I remember the princess made use of some sort of camera application. Link: Is that so? But with these Guardians and Beasts, it seems weird to delete the camera to make room for the Runes. Zelda couldn't have had THAT many pics on here... Impa: ... Well I'll be damned. You must have lost your memories after all.

The Cryonis App allows me to create up to 3 ice blocks on any body of water. Besides serving as make-shift bridges, the blocks also help in unique, puzzle solving ways. Link: But perhaps the best use I've gotten out of this app... Screwing around with simple-minded enemies! An ice block was summoned under a Guardian Scout, left panicking and beeping in confusion while Link hides behind the block chuckling dastardly.

44 - No Ice Blocks About It
Enjoyed doing this the first time I got this power, only to stop finding excuses to do this immediately after.

With the Stasis App, I can freeze certain objects in time to by pass obstacles, mess with monsters, and even to store the momentum of objects that I hit to launch them through the air. Link stares down at his Sheikah Slate in awe. Link: So did I become a god of time or something?

KABOOM A bomb is detonated right in front of Link. Link: Two different kinds of Remote Bombs and a pretty brief reload time for each: this is a pretty nifty app. Link: Wait a dickens: does this mean that Link: I can use unlimited bombs? Link (joyously throwing multiple bombs while fire trucks arrive in the background): UNLIMITED BOMBS!!!

26 - Bombs Away
Never before in any other Zelda games have I abused bombs like I did in BotW.
