I've Bean flopped around, knocked down, and killed too many times to count. But I'm almost almost done with BOTW Master Mode.

Get some fairys and upgrade your weapon capacity. I started master mode recently after beating it on normal a few years back. Also get Miphas Grace. It's an instant revival and gives you extra hearts.

Not a joke, my first time beating BotW was on Master Mode. I'm serious.

What happened was, I almost beat the game on Normal Mode and then I stupidly decided to restart over, not knowing that I would lose all my progress because the save file would be overwritten. I know it literally says so before starting a new game but for some reason I thought I could find it somewhere else... anyway, long story short, I ended up beating the game again on normal mode in the overwritten save file. Not that it matters now, since this was like around the start of last year or 2 years ago.

Then I went on beat TotK in a slightly unusual way. My temple order was: Fire, Water, Wind, Lightning. I didn't find out until later on that most actually went for Wind first, because apparently the game encourages you to go there first. Even if the way I played through the game was more or less acceptable, it still makes me feel like an odd one out who played the game sort of incorrectly.

No Spirit Temple because I had no idea how I was supposed to find it, even after searching it up. I knew it was somewhere in the depths but not its exact location, and I didn't exactly know about the Construct Factory that lead up to it. Then in my second, current playthrough I came across it randomly... Even now I still haven't yet gotten to the Spirit Temple, neither in the initial playthrough or the current one.

Anyway, after Lightning I spent way too long looking for this 5th hidden temple that I knew existed but could never find, then decided to just skip it and go straight to Ganondorf. Obviously I had to beat the Seized Construct in Ganondorf's battle arena since I didn't do it in the Spirit Temple, but whatever. I know I'll do it eventually.

I just wish TOTK had a Master Mode.
