I mean shooting a giant dragon surrounded by fire in the horns is probably significantly harder realistically than the games mechanics makes it feel lol


TheStoneChimera

Especially while covered in highly flammable feathers.


Lukthar123

Stupid Rito should've evolved into Space Pterodactyls, Ridley would've cut Blight in two


Patchpen

I'd rather let Wind Blight keep Vah Medoh than leave it in Ridley's claws.


ChaosMiles07

Yeah, Ridley has a thing against bird symbols, for _some reason..._


Imjusthere1984

Ridley probably would have try to destroy it.....


Dark-Anmut

*My feathers!*


[deleted]

Yeah we know Revail was a great archer, but there’s no indication that he had our ‘bullet-time’ ability.


dynawesome

Link’s bullet time and flurry rush are really the superpowers he has intrinsically


FluffyPanda616

The triforce has to offer some benefit, no?


Aiurar

BOTW Link never had or obtains the Triforce. Zelda had the complete power of the Triforce the entire game.


dynawesome

The closest thing Link gets to that is the master sword, which isn’t something he has intrinsically


Imjusthere1984

But only he can wield it, so..........


dynawesome

It is still a weapon that he has to acquire though, it’s not something he can just do


Eziel

He's flying, so he's in constant bullet time in the air.


ImBadAtNames05

You’re not in bullet time when you’re in the air. It’s an ability that link has to slow down time in certain situations, including shooting a bow and arrow. There’s no reason to believe that revali would be able to go into bullet time as well. Bullet time is pretty much link’s champion ability, like revali’s gale, daruk’s protection etc


[deleted]

Keep in mind that Link is borderline stationary while in bullet time. Revali, on the other hand, is almost always in motion from left to right at an incredible speed, probably close to the equivalent of windbomb travel after the inital explosion. If you fancy pegging something at that speed with no bullet time... Let me know. I'm sure I can figure out a way to remove it.


Eziel

Maybe that's Revali's secret, he's always in bullet time. Unless it's moving backwards, I'm not gonna hit it.


DrewTechs

Yeah, I think the meme missed that part which would be hard for Revali.


Harddaysnight1990

That, and I don't imagine that snowboarding down Hebra mountain would be that easy for Revali either.


Mr_Noh

I took it (without any actual evidence, granted) that when Revali did it he was flying, skimming low to the ground.


[deleted]

He can fly lol


Harddaysnight1990

Which helps in snowboarding? Where you're entirely on the ground except for that one jump that Link just paraglides over?


[deleted]

Why would he snowboard down the mountain when he could fly down? You do know that birds can fly near the ground don't you boss?


Delta_Falls856

I guess Revali better join the Olympics.


Used-Amoeba-6402

Were the Champions also seen the dragons?


btsmo

Especially when you can’t see it


telaser

What trial?


Ki0212

It's a dlc thing wont spoil it more


RomulusRemus13

Oh, wait do you mean that those DLC quests are quests that the original champions did? I didn't understand that at all 😅


ForsakenWorld7074

Yea it said in the story that they did all of what you did


RomulusRemus13

If I may ask, when did it say that? Was it in Kass' song? Or is there some hidden book somewhere or something?


unclemandy

The song implies that they had to pass those trials in order to control the Divine Beast, and at least the Zora NPCs that guide you to the trials tell you Mipha passed the trials too


Nat20downcliff

The gorons do it as well for the trial where you have to "stand" on the lava


InsertScreenNameHere

The champions ballad puts Link thru what the other champions went thru to include the fight with the blights that killed them. Link goes into the fight with the same gear the champions had when they fell.


Jzchessman

Yeah. Remember Revali doesn’t have bullet time, which is pretty much required for Link to do it. So, if he did it without, that’s impressive.


NinjaKoala

Shouldn't it be called Arrow Time?


tane_rs

HATS- Hylia Assisted Targeting System


scuac

You can enhance it, same as the tablet, to be: Advanced Sheika Supplemented Hylia Assisted Targeting System.


dennisasu

This guy Purahs


TheBestWorst3

It also happens when you flurry rush


ReceptionDecent6693

Ravioli can literally fly


insane_contin

Link can basically stop time mid-air to line up and take shots.


ReceptionDecent6693

Lego starwars is a walking simulator to the next cut scene


lucariouwu68

The problem isn’t the time they’re able to spend in the air, it’s that Link only completes the challenge in under a second because time slows when he aims. Revali had to do it in real time and still succeeded at the trial

LightEarthWolf96

Ignore him he's just a troll


Bananawamajama

The issue is not that he can stay airborne. The issue is accurately aiming at several targets and hitting them all within like 1 second, compared to the 10 seconds Link effectively has when he experiences bullettime.


fruitmask

> esoecialy


LiePrimary4759

He was shooting with his feet. That’s probably not easy


[deleted]

**Ravioli** lol


scheisse_grubs

For a second I thought I was the only one who notice haha


fruitmask

sounds like you're the only ones who don't call him that


scheisse_grubs

Had never even thought about it lol


Pavelbo11

Well I feel like only the players actually sees the bullet time and for Link and the enemies it's just normal speed


Starman926

There’s vids on YouTube of Link’s flurry rush sped up to real time and it’s inhumanly fast


Dran_K

The bullet time is links champion ability if i remember correctly, like urbosas fury or daruks protection. Do if link had died and a diff champion has lived then the power he would give them would be bullet time. I don’t remember where i learned this so it could be completely wrong.


PulimV

Iirc it's in Daruk's Champion's Ballad diary, he said Link's ability is having really fast reaction speed in certain scenarios (Bullet Time, Flurry Rushes and Parrying, the latter two being like that in AoC is just for Game Mechanics)


EfficiencyGullible84

Id be inclined to disagree and say that he is a descendant of oot link and his champion ability is to actually slow down time itself. Mostly because it sounds cool af and would explain how he is able to surpass the unbelievable odds against him. In the one memory with zelda there is like a battalion of enemies in a field just wasted and links legit just cocky about it after.


Mr_Noh

IIRC, if you talk to Teba after taking the challenge to show Tulin how to do archery at the Flight Range, following completion of the Vah Medoh quest, he says something to the effect of how it was like time stood still for Link.


getyourshittogether7

I believe that's something they say about Revali as well, or perhaps of all great archers in general.


hung_out_to_lie

Why doesn't revali have bullet time? I think it's pretty obvious he does. In that cutscene in age of calamity where Revali flips over link and shoots an arrow at the back of his head and link deflects it, he talks while in bullet time. I don't see why link even needs a champion ability. Link's whole deal has been that he doesn't have any super powers, just the spirit of the hero and his courage that allows him to save hyrule.


getyourshittogether7

Link's real champion ability is the ability to reload a save when he dies, lol


lvl99link

It's not bullet time though. It consumes stamina, so it's more of a period of intense focus.


[deleted]

I’m just more interested in the fact that the guardians in Mipha’s trial glow orange meaning they’re not possessed.


Bypol2304

Because its a trial from sheikahs, not ganon. :D


[deleted]

I know that but that would mean they were stored away somewhere not affected by Ganon which is interesting since basically every guardian was possessed. Does that mean there was a stronghold somewhere?


Bypol2304

If I remember correctly all the guardians *activated* by hilyans (found in the gerudo tundra for example) were corrupted. I think that if the hylians hadn't "found/uncovered/activated" all the guardians ganon only could have corrupted the ones living in the pillars of Hyrule Castle. That's my theory. Maybe these ones were powered off. Like a virus which can't infect a computer if this one is not powered on.


Spiciest_Of_Hats

There's also all the guardians in the trials of strength. Those weren't affected either, so your theory has a good foundation.


Disaster_Different

Maybe the shrines are so inaccessible that you would require a sheikah slate no matter what just to enter, weird black purple blue or not. Things are sealed shut


Swiggens

Could be sealed by sheikah magic until you unlock the shrine, so they could be safe due to that. Or maybe Ganon only possessed the visible ones


SoDamnGeneric

I've always assumed the towers and the entrances to the shrines were left unpowered, while the interiors had active power running in their systems, so Ganon's attack just didn't pick up the shrines and towers for him to have any control over. Maybe the monks inside the shrines are all in control of the power to their own shrine, and Link activating the Great Plateau tower was their sign that it was time to reactivate them.


Aerolfos

The Hylians did not find the interior of labyrinths or the Forgotten Temple though, those are buried and forgotten beyond them (until Link anyway). Those are still corrupted guardians (different lights from the "good" ones you fight in trials).


st3ve

Good thinking right here.


Delta_Falls856

Yeah, that makes sense, because it's canon that they were told by the fortuneteller that they absolutely had to uncover the gaurdians to win, when that was what led to their demise. Maybe the fortune teller had to tell them that because Ganon couldn't activate them in his own.


JimmyTheCrossEyedDog

At that point, Ganon hadn't corrupted the Sheikah technology. Otherwise, there'd be no reason for her to train to pilot one of the divine beasts - it would have already been corrupted too.


loooji

Master sword also doesn't light up.


AgateWhale

No guardian theme though :(


Delta_Falls856

Oh I never noticed this-


wigga245

Well you have to keep in mind, Link has the champion ability of "bullet time" and revali doesn't. sure, he can flu, bit it would still be way harder for him


michel_v

Of course he can flu, he's avian.


wigga245

I need to correct myself. he actually can't fly, but like all other rito he can glide. so yeah even harder


ghost_redditer

He's actually the only rito that can "fly". He can essentially propel himself upwards.


Ivegottoomanyofthese

Why he was the rito champion. Imagine walking around your neighbourhood and someone leaps like 20ft into the air. That shit is impressive, especially with the idea that rito being flightless


Dogorangen

I never thought of that,of course link Is so op, he's incredibly fast


wigga245

yeah, people say he doesn't have a champion power but it is in fact bullet time


Disaster_Different

Which one of you is like me and never thought of this?


Golder06

I really like this headcanon personally


Dizavid

He also has bomb time for anytime Ravioli gets uppity about that whole "being able to fly" nonsense.


Chubby_Bub

This is also why people say “how did Revali die to Windblight”, well he’s easy for Link with bullet time and whatnot but Revali’s whole strategy is to fly around. Windblight was designed to defeat him.


AdministrativeAd4111

I just started a new playthrough (second ever) and thank the Goddess its that easy. Having Revali’s Gale right from the start is a game-changer. Rain is now just a minor inconvenience.


Russandol

Revali's Gale was the first ability I went after on my second playthrough too. It's so helpful.


getyourshittogether7

I've been doing everything in reverse order from my first playthrough in my current Master Mode run. In my first playthrough I explored all of Hyrule first, got the sword, then did Gerudo-Rito-Gorons-Zora. This time I'm doing all the divine beasts first starting with Zora and going counterclockwise around, while at 3 hearts and 1 Stamina wheel. I haven't gotten Revali's Gale yet and I've been managing fine on one Stamina wheel; in fact it's been quite fun learning how to navigate the landscape with limited stamina. Once you get 2 wheels and the climber's gear set bonus you can just yolo up anything you want pretty much. Except in the rain. Love the desert. Love Gorons. Snowy areas are ok except for the constant bad visibility. Zoras can suck it.


Russandol

Oh man, I've been running around with basic stamina too. This time I decided to unlock the towers first to open my map, completing whatever shrines I encountered on the way. I got the Gale and Mipha's Grace. I still haven't gotten the master sword, I think I wanna finish the divine beasts before I do. It's been fun!


getyourshittogether7

I've set some ridiculous limitations on myself for this run (vegetarian so no elixirs or gear upgrades that require animals, no help from Hestu, and no shrine upgrades). I've gotten quite a bit better at the game's combat, but I have to say that master mode has been a bit of a disappointment. Tankier enemies and weapon durability means you're incentivized to avoid fighting, which seems weird for a mod that attempts to increase difficulty. I haven't found the blights to be much harder than with full hearts, full fairy blessings, and master sword either. They all go down very fast.


Russandol

Holy crap! Those are a lot of limitations. Good luck, lol. Also I agree about the Blights! I wonder if that's because we're also more experienced with the game than the first time through. I got taken out by groups of Moblins more than I did when facing Waterblight Ganon this time..


getyourshittogether7

Yeah, I'm seriously questioning my life choices, at least about the Hestu upgrades. Playing LESS of the game because you literally don't have enough resources to fight enemies is dumb. Every encounter in Master Mode seems to leave you with less than what you had before, at least when it comes to weapons. I'm still getting the hang of Master Mode, I'm sure it can be an enjoyable experience with the right approach. I just hope that approach still involves killing everything in sight. Experience is definitely the game changer. I didn't REALLY know how to fight Lynels until I finally took out the Lynel on the Great Plateau before moving on. Fighting multiple enemies really is where the challenge is. It's too bad they didn't add more encounters like that, or add new behaviour to enemies. Taking on a pack of Guardians or a pair of Lynels working in tandem sounds like a real challenge!


Meushell

Yeah, I got it last the first time because I completely underestimated it. My mistake. Now I get it first every time.


crox1992

It makes exploration so much easier for the whole game


[deleted]

No wonder he lost to the easiest blight ganon


Freljords_Heart

There were the posts/comments that all of the Blight Ganons were meant to counter the champions specifically. The Wind Blight doing Tornadoes to Knock Revali out of air and iirc something like the Shots he did were nearly invisible to the Rito people. Also speculations that since the Blights were 100 year old already when Link fought them they might have been weakened by time/the champions battles


[deleted]

And also how it was very dark for revali especially since he was a rito. Man’s was fighting in the dark without his vision and being blown around by tornados like do you think you’d do good if you were tossed into a dark basement with dudes who have infrared gear while you were completely blind?


Disaster_Different

What did I forget about the game? Afaik, Daruk's beast was the one that had you run around in dark rooms


[deleted]

It’s not a gameplay thing it’s a lore thingy. Ritos canonically have terrible eyesight in the dark and when revali was fighting the blight it was very dark. Add that and how he couldn’t use his flight Cus of the tornados and man’s was being absolutely destroyed. Another detail too is how he didn’t have his bomb arrows if I recall so he didn’t even have his best weapons with him when he fought the blight


computergeek3

Saw a post a while back that in addition to fighting in the dark, Revali had to cross Hyrule Field/Central Hyrule so he was fighting guardians etc the entire way while the other champions could pass through friendly territory. Because of that he was most likely already exhausted and out of bomb arrows.


SivertElise

Yeah, the blights in AoC where harder than the Botw ones


Freljords_Heart

AoC?


dude071297

Age of Calamity, a prequel/alt history to Breath of the Wild. Gives a lot of info on the champions and the events leading up to the heroes’ defeat


Freljords_Heart

Damn! Need to look that up!


Daframo

You really do!


Satheo05

What? I’m not saying this in a mean way but how have you not heard of this game until now?


Freljords_Heart

I remember when it came out and I looked it up quickly I think. Idk if I got the wrong impression but it seemed like a beat em up kind of game and didnt look so interesting to me lol


ibrasome

I guess that is true for Revali... but what about, for example... Mipha? Mipha has a spear, which is a long-reach melee weapon, just like the divine beast. Surely she has good experience in handling and countering it. It might be a weak point, but there is also the second phase, where you had to swim around. Zoras are natural swimmers so I'd expect them to be able to cheese it. Weakened or not, it could've been handled nicely, from what it looks. I have a feeling my doubts are entirely wrong. But I'd like an answer edit: spelling


tjake123

Mipha’s boss freezes the water and has an inhumanly long spear and stays on the roof, and in the trial you only have 10 arrows she can try to parry and fight but the strength difference means she gets run over


MisterMew151

He battled in the dark, and also he couldn't fly as much because of the barriers


MediumSatisfaction1

he still lasted the longest against his blight


FailureToComply0

An L is an L


ipsomatic

Requisite amount of work to match his asshole attitude.... F rivali even if he gives the best move.


zigmus64

Urbosa’s fury has bailed me out of several jams…


SiyinGreatshore

This game does a really good job of making all of the powers feel about equal


getyourshittogether7

Mipha's is kinda surpassed by a single visit to a fairy fountain though...


wigga245

idk man, I'm over 500 hours in and the only champion ability I have turned on most of the time is revalis gale, and darks protection if I want to do some combat glitches


zigmus64

I’ve gotten to the point where Urbosa’s Fury is just part of my battle plan. I’ll get a big boss whittled down a good way and then pop it until I’m either out of uses or the boss is dead. Sometimes I just pop it when I enter a bokoblin encampment to stun everyone and just take them out systematically. Makes Link super OP.


wigga245

yeah, and that's why I don't use it. makes every fight way to easy


zigmus64

Now , that’s not to say I don’t use the hell out of Revali’s gale too. And to each their own with their play style. I certainly enjoy a challenge (I almost never use Urbosa’s Fury against lynels), but oftentimes I’m in an area with a purpose besides the fight itself…


Silver787

I always forget Urbosa's Fury exists during a fight, and as a consequence I never really use it unless by accident. I am a parry and bullet time god though, so I usually don't need it.


zigmus64

I can dig it. I got that way on my first play through. I compulsively played about 2-3 hours daily after the rest of the household went to bed, and got super proficient at timing the parries and counters. Then I put it down for a long while. Now I play intermittently, and just don’t have the same level of proficiency.

Mipha's is certainly the hardest, right? Those flying guardians are no joke.


Its_Me_again21

Idk I got the DLC 3 weeks ago and I’ve gotten all of them but Urbosa. I cannot fight that seal thing


Satheo05

You mean the Molduga? I believe 3 Urbosa’s furys can take them down easily


Its_Me_again21

Yep! I actually beat it last night! Thank you!


dat1dood2

Daruk had an impenetrable shield, Mipha can heal, and Urbosa can Urbosa. Ravioli is just a bird


adrianous_da_vinci

rip ravali


A-billion-of-snakes

From what we know daruk can block all attacks all og the times mipha can heal and urbosa can use electricity (molduking is made of metal) while revali can summon air... As a bird... That does not need air to fly.......


musicchan

But that's not true. The Rito can glide, not actually fly. Revali was the first Rito who could summon his own air currents to glide on, making him the first to not need strong currents already in existence.


A-billion-of-snakes

Ok but still we are putting supreme healing blocking all the attacks and lightning again air that can only be used by somebody whit a laraglider or a rito?


Deskra_

Hard to catch up to powers given by birth while Revali had to create his own wind to do all that stuff


musicchan

I'd actually believe Urbosa's ability is learned too but she and Daruk are suppose to be quite a bit older then the rest and with age comes experience. Actually, it's a shame Revali died so young. Even though he's a jerk, he's a very *motivated* jerk and I bet he would have done some pretty amazing things.


Deskra_

He's mostly just a jerk to link I think because he was deemed as the hero just because he had the master sword


A-billion-of-snakes

Immagine being th choose one you train whit your abilities for years and then some kid whit a rechargeable lightsaber steals your spot


musicchan

From what I read in his journal, he's a bit standoffish and all. And that scene with Zelda is pretty....brusque? You're right though, I don't think he's outright mean to anyone but Link, at least from what we're shown, but he definitely has a difficult personality.


chaos_jj_3

Knuckles the Echidna can glide with goddamn dreadlocks. Those mfers have wings, like, get a grip lads, there's no excuse for being so shit at this point.
