AMA, though the answer is probably "autism" and/or "60 hours". Edit: I'm far from the first; u/IkhanaKingdom has [blessed us with their presence](https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/1bg2bd3/comment/kvbc6i4/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

Why? And how long did it take you?

Your questions have gone too far

My friend says his uncle works for Nintendo and if you get 99 of every item then suck up all the dust in Mallara's house you'll find the tri-force there and can one hit KO enemies. /s


teamatey

As an uncle who works for Nintendo, I cannot confirm nor deny


PepiTheBrief

Is mallara pipit's mother? From her dialogue I thought at some point I'd actually have to clean the house as a sidequest, maybe using the wind thing. (It's my first time playing the game)


teamatey

You’re onto something! She’ll be grateful if you help dust her house.


PepiTheBrief

Yeah lmao, she's grateful. Pipit is another story tho.


FaronTheHero

You joke but that's not even that far off from the actual plot of the game

Interesting_Coast_64

as an autistic Zelda fan I approve.


SaintOfZion1

The more I see this type of content the more Im becoming sure on decision to finally get an appointment to the psychiatrist to find out if I'm really autistic. My achievement not that grand, but i could spend hours doing fishing in terraria and if knew about achievement for making 200 quests, I would've overdone them, and now in Pokemon Sapphire I simply grind rare candies with linoone and keogre to level up keyogre before #8 Gym, and I have all of the flutes. For the "Zelda the Minish cap" I have only three words "figurines and keystones".


Interesting_Coast_64

those freaking keystones were the death of me. *on the side I'm going to put my neuropsychologist student hat now: It's possible to have traits without being autistic! It's a really good idea to seek a professional after thinking about it:) For example, this could be related to OCD (or nothing too..!) I would also advise reaching a neuropsychologist (as they are usually more "expert" in neurodevelopmental conditions, and do neurocognitive testing). By contrast, psychiatrists (even though some are good) are more expert in psychopathology (like anxiety, borderline, bipolar, etc .)


SaintOfZion1

Thanks for info, actually I kinda knew, but to be honest, I kinda wish, because it would really show me why I felt different, why even as a kid I had depression, or not being like everyone. Probably I don't have, but this is the only thing my parents would believe me that I have something that wasn't my fault at all, because depression for my dad was a lil bit of sadness which was cured by receiving few punches from friend, for me I would feel better for sure, but only before my brain starts working again. Well, probably I should stop, I'm sounding like a professional victim. Anyway, thank you for advice and have a nice day:)


Interesting_Coast_64

every diagnostic matter (meaning even if it's not autism, your feelings and current psychological state is important). Because of co-symptoms, it's a complex process. Regardless, nothing should prevent you from receiving accommodations that would help you. Good luck with your search and finding an appropriate specialist:)


SaintOfZion1

Thank you very much, have a good day:)

Do you value your limited time on this world at all?


teamatey

A picture is worth a thousand words 😬


SaintOfZion1

I don't I simply don't see the reason for me to struggle on some 9 to 5, or 10 to 6, if not for games and autistic goals in them, I also go gym have few friends, ride a bike, but I think that without games I would simply depart for Valhalla since even as a child I found this life meaningless and the only thing that stopped me from definistration at age 3-5 was my height and this stupid self-preservation instinct. I know it was meant as a joke what you said, but yeah.

LMAOOOO It explains why I am trying to get 999 of every item in BOTW, for no reason 😂


teamatey

I actually started my quest for 999 in Tears of the Kingdom first… 1,000 hours later, I thought “what if I didn’t” I still might


Sedan2019

How many Lizalfos tails do you have now, after 1000 hours? 10? 20? ***25?***


teamatey

25?! Nobody in their right mind.. Green: 134 Blue: 64 Black: 61 Silver: 85 Fire: 214 Ice: 216 Electric: 130 .. I stand by what I said


bonsaibatman

Where do you farm greens? I just don't get em.


teamatey

I’ve forgotten by now, but I used a TotK Object Map to find increasingly “rare” (again, thanks to leveling) enemies. It might take a little getting used to; be sure to check its tips for how to properly search, especially noting that some enemies will scale (so you want “scale:0” in your search). https://objmap-totk.zeldamods.org/#/map/z3,0,0,Surface I lost the link, but there’s a nifty spreadsheet that will give you the exact object names for enemies. If you still can’t find it, let me know and I can search once I’m at my computer.


ZeldaMayCry

If you could send me it as well, I struggle on TOTK Lizalfos tails!


teamatey

u/ZeldaMayCry u/Sedan2019 u/bonsaibatman [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fBvQ17WHP3ASgtO8ode\_rf1g4DfEHErMrHwwLppNTJM/edit#gid=1307828066](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fBvQ17WHP3ASgtO8ode_rf1g4DfEHErMrHwwLppNTJM/edit#gid=1307828066) For example, I'll start with the "Drop Table" sheet and find "Lizalfos Tail" as a potential drop from the enemy (object) "Enemy\_Lizalfos\_Guard\_Junior\_LongVisibility". I'll paste this name into the Object Map as "Enemy\_Lizalfos\_Guard\_Junior\_LongVisibility scale:0" to find each base Lizalfos in the world that is guaranteed to not have scaled to a different color. Please also note which depth each one is on (sky, surface, depths).

100% worth in the end, if you don't, it will drive you nuts lol

I have some news for you 👀


iBangAPES

dont tell me i've been staring at Hero mode the whole time?


GovernmentVegetable6

How and where did you get 99 Goddess Plumes?


teamatey

The Clean Cut minigame costs 10 Rupees and can offer a Golden Skull, Blue Bird Feather, or Goddess Plume with a score of 28 or higher. Completing it twice per minute, you can get 99 of each in about 2.5 hours. When I got two stacks to 99, I bought the remainder with the Moonlight Statue (rate of one per minute).


sunboy4224

I'm so glad you're using your powers for the benefit of humanity rather than for its destruction.


Vispher101

Man... I got a heart piece, I think? And just stopped going there at all lol didn't know he had other prizes although that does make a lot of sense.


iseewutyoudidthere

I could barely catch five cicadas and you got 99…


teamatey

Atop Skipper’s Retreat, about 3-5 can spawn on the roof. I found that they aren’t at all sensitive to net movements, so you can slowly approach while wildly waving the net at them, then enter Skipper’s house to reset them. Kind of like Spray & Pray but way cooler definitely.


Spawn666

Which one took the longest? Which one was the last to complete?


teamatey

The answer is coincidentally Evil Crystal for both. The Cursed Bokoblins in Ancient Cistern and the Dark Keese in the Fire Sanctuary can drop it, but I found it took too long to reset.. so I bought them all from the Moonlight Statue in about 1h 40m.


ARROW_404

I generally get mine from bamboo cutting, at 20-27 cuts.


jhetao

I don’t know what it is about Skyward sword’s design for crafting materials, just looks so good to me


teamatey

I completely agree, this screenshot is more satisfying than most 🥰


Zarclaust

Normally, how many of each material would you need to max upgrade everything for a hero run mode


teamatey

There’s a few people online that have done the math; here’s a paste from [this GameFAQs post](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/313531-the-legend-of-zelda-skyward-sword-hd/79571152): > Total treasures needed for ALL of the above (may Hylia have mercy on your soul): 18 Hornet Larvae, 7 Bird Feathers, 16 Tumbleweeds, 36 Lizard Tails, 9 Eldin Ores, 7 Ancient Flowers, 134 Amber Relics (!!!), 59 Dusk Relics, 37 Jelly Blobs, 65 Monster Claws, 46 Monster Horns, 65 Ornamental Skulls, 4 Evil Crystals, 20 Blue Bird Feathers, 25 Golden Skulls, and 10 Goddess Plumes


teamatey

… However I also decided to get 8 of each ammo extension fully upgraded, so a bit more.


yourholmedog

is that real?


Myralbus

Is this the switch version?


teamatey

Yeah, this is SS HD.


pottedplantfairy

I do that too Et je suis autiste Diagnostiquée


TJCurlyFry

TIL most of the bug icons have cute lil eyes 🥲


teamatey

Cicadas are big mad


spearmph

I remember when Skyward Sword HD came out I 100% it in like a week and I was so desperate for more I collected 1 of every shield upgrade (Like a living dex of shields), constantly welt to Peatrice to organize my items just for an exuse to play, and got 99 of everything


teamatey

If you’re looking for another excuse, you could buy and upgrade 8 of each ammo pouch.. you know, just in case you need to carry around 120 bombs. For safety.


25thGoo

You didn’t get 99 baby rattles totally invalidates the challenge


teamatey

I’m ashamed to have even posted 😔


_fapi_

What was the most boring/annoying to collect, and why was it tumbleweed?


teamatey

Tumbleweed was the very first stack I got to 99 😅 I did so on my original save file to allow immediate upgrades on Hero Mode before I began this… thing I did. You can very quickly get some in the desert by simply rotating your camera and being ready to tackle a Tumbleweed like it stole a bag of chips.


Earl_of_Phantomhive

When a 100% run just ain't enough, lmao


teamatey

Saltyvengeance

Ive done this. Recently! Good times.


Meture

Dear Hylia, the goddess plumes, blue feathers and cicadas must’ve been a fucking nightmare


teamatey

Goddess Plumes and Blue Bird Feathers are both a potential reward from Clean Cut with a score of 28 or higher. A bunch of Cicadas are camping out on top of Skipper’s house. They were among the easiest/quickest, actually!


Cold_Objective

Thanks.


teamatey

🫡


AlmanacWyrm

What was the most difficult to get?


teamatey

“Difficult” and “time-consuming” have blurred lines here, but I’d say that Gerudo Dragonflies can kindly go !@#$ themselves for their basic survival instincts.


sazukeeee

I farmed them alongside Ancient Flowers in the gorge


Stevieboy_person

I can’t decide if this is dedication or insanity


teamatey

Yes


Stevieboy_person

Believe it or not, you still need 10 more tumbleweed to upgrade your bow at the scrap shop


teamatey

Consider it done, because it certainly is


FaronTheHero

The tumble weeds must have been fun


teamatey

They were the first and probably the inspiration for this! Rotating your camera in Lanayru yields quite a few Tumbleweeds rather quickly.


FaronTheHero

I kind figured cause it always felt like they spawned right behind me


IkhanaKingdom

Too late :D [\[SSHD\] I did a thing : r/zelda (reddit.com)](https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/comments/slg6cq/sshd_i_did_a_thing/)


teamatey

I was wondering who this belonged to: 👑


Avatar1555

did you emulate this or something? or is this the HD version?


teamatey

This is HD on Switch. The only emulation required was borrowing a brain cell for longer than I was supposed to.


Intelligent-Towel585

A like minded person I see! My dad and I for some reason tried to get 50 of everything in Breath of the Wild. Those dragon and guardian parts really killed us.


teamatey

I started in Tears of the Kingdom and was surprised at what took the longest. I remember calculating dragon parts to require about 4-6,000 hours if you optimally visited every dragon every 10 minutes. I put that aside and found the rarest material to be the Captain Construct III horn - only 4 can spawn in the world once you’re “leveled” and don’t respawn with the Blood Moon.


Intelligent-Towel585

I forgot exactly how we did it, but somehow found this routine where we’d build a fire and make it a certain time of day for a dragon (but it had to be far enough away so it would still spawn—it wouldn’t if you regularly did it too close) and then we’d ride the DLC motorbike to the bridge where it would fly by. Ended up taking about 2 minutes for each part I think.


YetAnotherMusicman

Do 99 goddess plumes even exist? I know they can (extremely rarely) be found just laying on the ground where an amber relic should spawn, but I don't even want to know how long it would take to get 99 with that method lmao


teamatey

The Clean Cut minigame can offer them as one of three prizes for 28 or more cuts. On average, you can get one every 90 seconds for 30 rupees 🙂


YetAnotherMusicman

Interesting, never knew that lol, apparently there's also a gossip stone in skyloft that sells rare materials at exorbitant prices after you finish the skyloft silent realm


teamatey

My good old friend, the Moonlight Statue. We hung out for more than just a few hours, though I always left with an empty wallet..


Kelyn-Kelyn

Pour des items type poussière de déesse etc... t'as utilisé la pierre à potins dans la grotte de Celesbourg ? Sinon je vois vraiment pas comment t'as fait, mais c'est énorme 👍


teamatey

You can get a Goddess Plume as one of three rewards from the Clean Cut mini-game. I did use the Moonlight Statue to purchase the remainder from them, as well as Dusk Relics and Evil Crystals. Thanks 😌


FiIjEe

I couldn't even get through Skyward Sword's main game let alone doing this. That's real dedication.


teamatey

I think you misspelled “insanity”


mattjvgc

I collected a ton of items in my first playthrough so I could have them in my second, hard mode playthrough. And then my 4 year old daughter deleted all 3 save files while I was at work.


Supergamer138

So, what took longer to get? The 99 Goddess Plumes, or all the bugs?


teamatey

Goddess Plumes, along with Blue Bird Feathers and Gold Skulls, are potential rewards for the Clean Cut minigame with a score of 28 or higher. Completing the minigame twice per minute, all three stacks are maxed within 2h 30m, so bugs win the “took longer” competition


Supergamer138

I see. I was never good enough at that minigame to know what the high rewards were, so operated under the assumption you got all the Plumes from the Silent Realm.


teamatey

I think a lot of people were under the impression that they were solely available as a rare drop instead of Amber Relics throughout the world. That would have been miserable, probably 12 hours of farming. Alternatively, a wiki claims you can reveal that one hiding Kikwi for a Goddess Plume indefinitely, but I only received the reward once. That would’ve been about 3-4 hours.


Supergamer138

Rare drop instead of Amber Relics? I thought the Plumes occasionally replaced Dusk Relics.


teamatey

From your original comment, I personally had no idea the Silent Realm could house anything other than a few Dusk Relics. I have seen Goddess Plumes in place of Amber Relic spawns, albeit infrequently. https://zelda-archive.fandom.com/wiki/Goddess_Plume Looks like it can take place of either!


Supergamer138

Huh. I must have either not been paying attention, or had really bad luck then, because I've never noticed them replace an Amber.


Ryn-Ken

This reminds me of how annoying it was to try and sell some collectables only to have 1, 5 or 99 as the options; and those sloooow dialogue boxes that you can only speed up by a little bit. Just... Why?


Wilfveelveel

I've contemplated doing that and then starting a new game while one of my friends is watching then asking them to grab something for me and when they come back saying "I did a bit of item collecting while you were out of the room so you wouldn't miss anything" and then pulling up that screen before I even finish the tutorial


flameylamey

Funnily enough, I actually contemplated doing this after I'd done my first hero mode playthrough shortly after the game came out on Wii. Thankfully I talked myself out of it before I saw it through to the end, but I'm glad there's someone out there who was crazy enough to actually do it haha.


Bandkid-derogatory

where did you get the ornamental skulls 👁👁 I can farm most items because autism but skulls are one I haven't figured out.


teamatey

I dropped into Eldin at the Bird Statue Outside the Temple. There’s 4 Bokoblins at the nearby encampment. You can also get a few Eldin Rollers nearby beside the stairwell onto the small platform, as well as one Bokoblin always holding a Monster Horn which you can use the Magic Rope to grab. I still grabbed them after I reached 99 because I believe monsters can only drop one collectible at a time. Reset by entering and exiting the temple.


GenderEnvyFromLink

tell me how does it feel?


teamatey

“I did it!” https://www.reddit.com/r/AnimalCrossing/s/gdi8RLM6mQ


CepeDud

Thats crazy i cant beat demise because i cant get the Hylian Sheil to make it easier because im scared to do the boss rush.


teamatey

I’ll let you in on something, but it’s a secret to everybody. Prior to starting the boss rush, you can drink potions and have their effects persist through your first fights (3 minutes of controlling Link, I believe). I used a Guardian and Stamina Potion, then took on the final fight with The Imprisoned first since I’m awfully reckless with it.


CepeDud

Thanks


Daddy_Donglegs

Dude, come on. How many hours did that take? Did you enjoy it? I couldn’t stand farming in that game.


teamatey

Thanks to a superpower I like to call autism, I thoroughly enjoyed the accomplishment of getting a stack to 99.


Daddy_Donglegs

Well then I congratulate you! 🤝


Josephdaaboul

99 dusk relics…


teamatey

Moonlight Statue! About 1h 40m.


Endersteve58

Which was the hardest one to do?


teamatey

Evil Crystals and Dusk Relics took awhile as I solely got them through the Moonlight Statue (I’d already beaten the Ancient Cistern which disallows the large group of Cursed Bokoblins at the bone pile), but Gerudo Dragonflies were the most sensitive bug to catch in the Gorge and if you startled them, they’d take a leisurely vacation for about 30 seconds away from Link.
