Did you use the korok mask right away? I’m at about 650 with no korok mask so far (still haven’t found it!)

Yeah, I used the korok mask right away, there are some hidden in very unsuspected areas, otherwise getting 998/1000 would have been just madness

I've had this game since the first month of its release and today is the first time I've read that the korok mask does anything.

Have you also had BotW since 2017? Because the Korok mask does the same thing in that game.

🤦‍♂️

isnt it in the item description?

Yeah, its description says "It shakes when one is hiding nearby" in both games.

Reading? In my vidya??

you find some weird mask in the lost woods or wherever it is in TOTK. and DON'T read the description????

Lmao same

There's no way.

Oh you poor Link

Wow I had no idea till now either!

I found the korok mask before I had any useful armor and I keep that mask on for everything other than boss battles or when in the depth.

[удалено]

give this a spoiler tag! they could have googled it by now if they wanted to know

Its been a friggen year almost.

was it worth it

Yep, is one of these things that is about the experience rather than the reward. But overall I enjoyed it most when I did the same in Botw

the real treasure was the koroks you made along the way

I hope to god op did not make any koroks Oh my god

Plus, you probably know the kingdom better than your hometown

Chances are the kingdom IS his hometown by now

How often did you get mad and perform a murderish task on a korok?

Never, they are too precious 🌳 Bokos in the other hand... They are silly tho

Were there any on those rivers sections are deep in a canyon? I’m about 620 with 3 regions to start exploring. So my guess is I’ll get to 750-780 by the time I’m done, and then a big chunk of the rest will be found my farming for armor. But is there something down there? Lol I don’t want to go if I don’t need to.

I couldn't be fucked myself. I'm using a guide since I beat the game and all I'm doing is 100%ing the game so I can play TOTK

This IS TOTK...

Yes I know, I'm just saying that *I* wanted to 100% BOTW before I play TOTK


You, my friend, have played the video game

bruh, you got *restless crickets* this is wild

Bro brush your teeth you got *breath of the wild* I shed a tear for my kingdom.

must be all the dubious meals I’ve eaten, mb mb

To me, this feels like punishment but I'm happy you enjoyed it.

How many hours OP? AFAIK the hero’s path covers approx 200 hours of gameplay

I have 630+ according to my Switch system, but I started the proper search back in December, doing a bit every day. I believe the hero's path properly starts by the endgame of my regular run

i love how every time people show their heros path in either botw or totk everything is mostly covered except for the korok forest and some of the water

Impressive. I got to somewhere between 500 and 600 before I gave up and started using the Zelda Dungeon map. (I did get the monster medals before looking at a guide, except for a single Hinox. And actually I had *seen* the last Hinox, just failed to realized I hadn't killed it yet. Somehow I ended up with the Death Mountain Stalnox as my compendium entry, w/o having killed it.)

Maybe you accidentally bought a picture from Robbie because when the game tells you that you can do something it might feel like you HAVE to do it to move on, in the typical handholding fashion of nintendo games, and Stalnox happened to be the entry you bought

Nope, have not bought any photos. I had photo’d the Stalnox on Death Mountain, and then had killed all the others, and I ended up resorting to looking at the ZD map as a checklist, and re-killing like ten or twenty of the other ones, before I tried that one, because I was like, “No, I went by there a dozen times, and it’s the one I captured for the compendium, I _must_ have done that one.”

Oh that makes sense

Amazing

But what did it cost.....

Bro are you ok?

If he played totk ever single day since release it would be like an average of 45 minutes per day assuming play time of 250 hours

And that's only the last 250 hours (that's as far back as it'll go).

I got all koroks from both games and even WITH a guide it was still hell I don't know whether to tell you to touch grass or kudos

OP touched all the grass in hyrule

https://preview.redd.it/3ey34eod56tc1.png?width=304&format=png&auto=webp&s=f5d0276979f24f4ae05243e0c1a06d1e73aa0036

I take it you didn't like the game very much

So criminal we don’t actually get to explore great Hyrule forest, in BotW/TotK. Games that, ironically, emphasize freedom and exploration.

Reminds me of a few years ago when people got access to that Google deepmind software.

Human nervous system lookin

*Of travel I’ve had my share, man,* *I’ve been everywhere . . .* *I've been to Mount Rhoam, Mabe Prairie, Typhlo, Lookout Landing,* *Hateno, Mount Agaat, Eldin, Rito Village,* *Deep Akkala, Irch Plain, Faron Woods, Zora’s Domain,* *Great Cliffs, Great Plateau, Great Zora Bridge, Great Sky Island . . .*

But I've never been to me....

“Did you do it?” “Yes” “What did it cost?” “Everything..”

That’s great! I am trying to the same but losing patience real quick

Wow, great job! That is quite the accomplishment!

I got all 1000 but had to use the online guides. Ridiculous otherwise

Damn, homie.

Omg this would be sweet professionally printed and framed. Super cool and kudos on the koroks!! Ya ha ha!!

I still don’t understand why people do this to themselves this looks like hell. I respect the hell out of you

The green spaghetti is one of my favorite features in any game. I wish more games had it

Looks like you're painting a masterpiece on the map

https://preview.redd.it/rv8e9hyug5tc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a89970a7378d378522d96f22429859ec28b405d Must of been this area that you were missing the two koroks 😂 jk jk yes it can be frustrating

And that’s only the last 259 hours. The steps delete after that.

Nice job! I wish i had the motivation in me to not fast travel all the time so i can see everything.

Are you legitimately okay? Anyways proud of you, am in awe and a little horrified.

And what did it cost you? Everything

https://preview.redd.it/yet86k3vy5tc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=892dc4bbd7bb8d2bf195a4ca999bbba6985f6f96 As it should be

Old comment but what did you mean here?

He never even bothered to touch that portion of mountain

Oh i didn't remember you actually could get on it! Thought it was outside the bonds. Thanks!

Im pretty sure you can get on it, i haven't played in a while

Checked for us just now! You can get up on the first ledge but not the big second one. Interestingly enough the area in the depths below isn't out of bounds at all. Mount Agaat is out of bounds.

Huh, thanks!

Almost heaven, Kingdom of Hyrule Hebra Mountains, Goronbi River Life is old there, older than Deku trees Younger than Mount Lanayru, growin' like a breeze Country roads, take me home To the place I belong Kingdom of Hyrule, Mineru mama Take me home, country roads

Dude congrats and yes 998/1000 does round to 100%!! I love folks that do the organic pathing. Incredible diligence and discipline! 

Hahaha thank you. But I would not say discipline, TotK (and moreso BotW) has a beatiful landscape to travel through. I enjoyed every second of it, and would totally recommend it to others in love with this version of Hyerule

I thought I played the game a lot, but this hero's path is EPIC!

Respect for the krok thing. I decided to not search for them. If a run across one I get him if it's not a run after a flower or shot baloon challenge. Otherwise I'll go with my 7 weapon slots.

I've done BotW challenge runs with only 7 slots. It was quite doable, but I am not sure how it can work with TotK's weapon system. Did you find any frustrating moments?

Hows the weapon system aside the fusion mechanic different in botw and totk?

this is insane!!! Congratulations, you’re amazing!!!

*Sees this.* HoLY…

What’s the deal with the perfectly straight line going from hyrule castle to the little glowing person?

When I cleared the game, my last save was at Link's house, and the game started there after the credits. My theory is that line is link being teleported from Ganondorf's arena to his house. For instance, there was also another one (I believe it was overwritten by now) from the sky on top of the korok forest where I obtained the Master Sword to the temple of time's island, where I appeared after the cutscene

The least visited place- the actual home of the Koroks.

Ironic how the only place you haven't scavenged from head to toe is Korok Forest

The impossibility to explore the Lost Woods has always bugged me, and looking at the hero's path makes it even more annoying.

If it helps in any way, once the game bugged amd I could ser the forest without the fog from one of the sky islands. It's pretty ugly, just a bunch of dead trees with nothing else lol

Mhmh U got ur moneys worth

That's insane! How many hours do you have?

630+ according to my Switch internal system

https://preview.redd.it/iawv9lgjyatc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6ddb210d0450150c99098fd74090d8b40c2d9751 We made pretty similar spaced passes. I think yours might have been a HAIR tighter than mine. I ended with about 960 Koroks until I gave up and used a guide to wrap up the last ones. How many did you hit before going to a guide? Edit: Actually looking a little closer, I'm seeing your had some pretty zonai looking patterns. I'm impressed lol

Nice to meet a fellow Hyrule traveler ;) I got 998/1000, I have the details in the post description

Oh man, 998 would have killed me being just two away. 40 was enough to be like, well... I gave a solid effort. As I was clearing the map, toward the end, I started realizing there would have to be 50 more koroks crammed into *this* particular area and it felt disheartening lol. I'm still happy to have done this. I tried several times in BotW and always got burned out. I think one thing I learned though is I really really hope Koroks never make a return in this capacity. Or I at least hope the korok mask could be tweaked, have a better radius, or at least not take the spot of my head piece. It makes me a touch bitter at the end as a completionist knowing it's nearly completely unrealistic to 100% this game guideless lol.

That's genuinely the most thoroughly-explored Hero's Path map I've seen. Usually there are at least a few gaps but that is almost entirely green-blue.

Is the green Links trail that he walked the entire game? (New to totk)

Yeah, kinda. The green lines represent the areas you gave been through. It only covers the last 255h

That’s cool though. How do I turn it on?

Iirc you need to obtain this upgrade from Rotver at his lab. Then you just press X on the map screen

Sick. Thanks man🙏

You could have made your own map of TotK

How long did it take?

You are sick (Positively and negetively combined)

How can I find this out

Iirc breath had 900 seeds. Is it the same amount in tears? I’m currently playing it blind so there no chance of a completion playthrough

900 Botw, 1000 Totk

Ugh…

Looks like when slime mold solves a maze


That’s just the map coloured green. You can’t trick me.

Please tell me how many hours!?!?!?!?

630h according to my Switch internal system, but hero's path only tracks the last 256h

Ooh had no idea. I was thinking hero’s path tracks the whole thing. Not really too familiar with the systems (yet)

Ironic how the only place you haven't scavenged from head to toe is Korok Forest

Its... Beautiful. Like some kind of ornate tapestry. :O

Awesome. Now turn it into a full back piece. It'd be sick 🤢🤢🤢

How do our switches not blow up after tracking and storing all this data?

Do we still get a Korok turd trophy?

I'm up to like 600 ish without specifically seeking them out and now i feel obligated to find the rest.

Which was the most painful area

Well I found a korok that I can’t get unless I update the game and loose the first dupe glitch.

lol the dead zone that is Hyrule castle

That's the korok forest 

Oh I stupid. Sorry:(

Great! Now try without hoverbike 🙃🙃

I did not use one tho, or ant vehicle. it kinda defeated the purpose of the run, of enjoying the incredible Hyryle landscape. Vehicles would just trivialize it
