Hmmm...I would have gone with the absurdly sturdy shield from Skyward Sword.

I would say the Master Cycle Zero. You had to do all 4 divine beasts, and then do a series of challenges and then ANOTHER divine beast! In my opinion, that was way too long for me, but was a fun journey to get it.
@@chavin3you’re talking about the big poe right after you cross the broken bridge outside hyrule castle. If you just keep chasing it you’ll get a bigger time window to kill it. If you’re talking about the one on the very left of hyrule castle across the river. You gotta position yourself better.
The fierce diety mask was the perfect amount of grinding for an item You got items to help you in the process in getting the fierce diety mask and the side quests for getting them weren’t boring or too long or just finding a material 70% of the time And some of the side quests like the Anju Kafei quest were super thought out
Yeah. I can only fight the Imprisoned so many times before I want to scream, too. It's even worse on hero mode. What I'd do is drink a guardian potion before talking to Lanayru. Helped a little.

Fully upgrading the Ancient Hero's Aspect is insanely difficult. It requires all kinds of rare materials and zonaite. The last upgrade even requires a freaking NINE Gleeok guts, and they're only a 10% chance drop. The King Gleeoks drop guts 100% of the time, but there are only four of them. So you have to rely on blood moons if you really want that 84-defense.

So many ppl have been trying to fit BOTW and TOTK into the Zelda canon timeline😂😂 BOTW and TOTK not only exist in its own timeline They have effectively erased every timeline before those two How u might ask At the beginning of TOTK Zelda and Link are still in the BOTW timeline That is until Zelda picks up the time stone and it transports Zelda to ancient Hyrule And becomes a Dragon for 10 thousand years As this became a fixed point in time All other timelines would cease to exist Even BOTW’s Champions timeline As Zelda was not present(pun intended) to form the champions Instead she formed the sages in ancient Hyrule Effectively erasing the BOTW story line and all previous story lines as Zelda’s 10’000 years as a dragon kept her incapacitated Thus TOTK is now the only timeline in existence The Tri-force hasnt even been created yet in this timelien As the Tri-Force was created in the sacred realm and the Sacred realm no being introduced yet It is safe to assume that yes there will be a third installment that…wait for it…will introduce the Tri-Force as a means of returning the timeline back to its original path Or that is my theory

@@milo6169Not everyone reads and listens to every interview. Let people have fun and speculate. Also, nobody mentioned DLC, reusing the same world, etc. Just the idea of a trilogy to the story where we see and learn about the Ancient Hero.
BTOW shrine completion is waaaaaaay harder than TOTK, it's not even close -TOTK shrines are easier since your abilities are overpowered -the depths literally tell you the location of every shrine
Yes, the latter was intentional and some NPC in the game mentioned it. It went both ways: lightroots helped you find shrines, once you found a shrine, you knew where a lightroot was. It was finding the 32 or so sky shrines that was a little harder. Especially since there were a few very close together and they were easy to overlook.
"Hestu's Gift" isn't worth all that trouble. Just get the required amount of Korok Seeds needed to max out inventory in either Breath of the Wild or Tears of the Kingdom and be done with it. The former requires 451 while the latter requires 421. Only reason the latter game requires less is because there are fewer bow slot upgrades. On the other hand, the "Hero of the Wild" set in both games is WORTH the trouble for the classic look. "Ancient Hero's Aspect" on the other hand is too much of a hassle to toggle back and forth with protective gear for environmental hazards since it acts as ALL THREE pieces of armor at once. So if you remove the aforementioned item for literally anything else, Link will need to be given the missing pieces of a particular set. Not to mention he ends up "in the buff" if you finish the game wearing it.
Couple notes about the Ice Arrows in OoT: 1) You only need seven keys to get the Ice Arrows if you choose the "correct" path. If you choose the wrong path, you need 9-10 keys (forget the number). There is a common misconception there aren't enough keys, but many people simply haven't found the two keys that are well-hidden. If you choose the ideal path, you also can get to the Ice Arrows after the Water Temple, IIRC, as you won't need the Silver Gauntlets which would otherwise be required to get one of the hidden keys. 2) The Ice Arrows are tied with Biggoron's Sword for the most powerful weapon in the game. This is because they deal damage twice: once upon freezing, again upon thawing. This means you have effectively a ranged BS. The boss Bongo Bongo also reacts differently than usual if you attack its hands with the Ice Arrows. I don't know if they're worth getting, but they are strong.
To quote the great Chuggaaconroy. Whoever came up with the Goron Dance Mnigame should be forced to eat a jar of toenail clippings, have the horn honked on them while under the hood of their car, be forced to walk across a hundred-yards of LEGOs bare-foot, get told knock-knock jokes while they're trying to sleep, and contract the stomach flu.
Am I the only one that found the hero of the wild set harder to obtain than the ancient hero’s aspect? I personally found the shrines in breath of the wild much more difficult (and fun) from a puzzles standpoint. In tears of the kingdom there weren’t really many puzzles I where I was stumped, even while doing them all the intended way (I wanted to respect Nintendo’s efforts in creating these puzzles, rather than cheesing them and defeating the point of the shrines). Also, while totk has many more shrines, most of them are blessings anyways so one could say that more time/dedication would be required for botw shrines.
@@FreakingAngryPirate Yeah I can see where you're coming from, but I mean they're mostly the same thing, being the "carry the crystal" quest. Some blessing shrines could be found just by walking into some random cave too. Sure there are a couple of overworld puzzles in totk (imo not too much of the puzzle aspect involved), but I feel that botw had a more diversified/interesting set of pre-shrine puzzles (i.e. who took the orb in kakariko village, mystery of the 8 heriones in the desert, etc)
It was so worth it getting all the masks, and I never once thought of it as grinding, just felt like it completed the game. Link between worlds was also super fun, the coliseum was actually really easy if you had everything upgraded, and I play it for the rupees, as you get like 5000 at the end. (Helpful if like me you think it’d be sick to buy the golden bee, even though it’s so easy to get for free💀)
He said at the beginning no heart pieces would be included but I think that's definitely one of the hardest heart pieces to get and harder than most of the ones on the list.
@@machjiffy4710 I wouldn't really say it's "hard" since it's just a matter of luck, not skill. There was a video that explained how to optimize getting the piece, and it's just a really long and tedious process.
Agree with many but not with the minish cap one, the hardest is getting the gold badge for completing the figurine collection, as it requiers a lot of Shell, ruppees and paciencie
Great video! I feel like finding all the shrines in totk was easier than botw since I found all the light roots while riding my hoverscooter. It was the underground and sky shrines that were the hardest to track down.
Yeah they replaced that heart piece with one of the extra treasure charts they added compensating for them removing triforce charts. Funnily enough the original release of wind waker in Japan had a yellow rupee as a troll at the end of the labyrinth and instead that heart piece is underneath Grandma’s house.
The 3 day - Anju & Kafei trading sequence leading to the Couples Mask in Majora's Mask. Especially when it came out in pre - RUclips 2000, and you couldn't exactly Google every little secret and actually had to do some old school Zelda style - exploring.
Hetsu's Gift should be under the most tedious item to get. Upgrading the inventory in Age of Calamity was easier than wandering around Hyrule looking for hidden Koroks
I guess I can't say it belonged here, but I was sort of expecting to see the Hero's/Hylian Shield, from Skyward Sword. From what I've heard, getting through the necessary parts of the Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round, to earn it, is actually harder than just beating Akuma without it, at the end of the game, and that includes the fact Demise even knows how to use Akuma's soul destroying ultimate on your orherwise breakable shields. I guess I don't know; Skyward Sword is my personal least liked Zelda game, so I've never gotten it, but I've heard the unbreakable shield is harder to get than any challenge it will be helpful to have it for. I DID get the Master Sword in the Oracle series, and the other items that needed high-end trading between both games, and some of that was pretty substantial.
The Trials of the Sword in "Breath of the Wild" to upgrade your Master Sword is really a test of patience and adversity. The only way I can complete these Trials is by glitching in the walls. I'm still on Trial 2
With how much the Zelda games rely on stamina, I’m surprised that they don’t have a difficult unlock-able that gives Link unlimited stamina. If one did exist, it should be able to be placed on this list.
I don't even bother trying to get Hestu's gift but my sister was actually crazy enough to obtain it. I don't know if she succeeded with TOTK. Getting the Hero's Charm isn't worth it even though I have managed to get down there. I think I did complete the Gratitude Crystal side quest once. I got the Super Lamp and Net before. I did fight the old man who may be Link's grandpa and you need all items in order to fight him. 5:47 This isn't hard, just tedious. I did do both because I feel like I have to do every shrine. It's better than Hestu's gift. I got the Fierce Deity Mask on my first playthrough. I heard about this mask before then so I had an idea of how to get it. 7:57 I honestly don't know how I managed to do this. The Mirror Shield in Minish Cap is completely useless. By the time you get it you already finished the game. I never got the Bomber's Ring legit. I cheated. 11:08 F**K YOU!
Many an 80s kid will tell you... the Hammer in Zelda 2. With no guide and no internet you just took your ass into Death Mountain knowing the hammer... they key to the rest of the game was in there. Somewhere. Somewhere in that maze that harbors alligators wielding axes is the hammer. Where? Who knows? But you've got 3 lives to do it or you have to go back to the beginning and try again.
It's less difficult and more tedious. It's just a series of fetch quests, and only two have tight time limits. Everything else has no time limit, or the time limit is very generous. Even the ones with the tight time limits can make use of the warps, or Goron City -> Death Mountain Crater to make things a lot easier.
Of all the zelda games i completed 100%. Forget Koroks, I found the infuriating motion controls of the Skyward Sword sing along in the bar the worst. I could never complete that enraging sidequest for the heartpiece and so never got the last gratitude crystals. Even the Switch version I cannot do it. I mastered all the bosses in each Zelda game easily, but got stuck on motion control music...what a tragedy,...
The one puzzle in Skyward Sword that to this day I still haven't beaten was the one where you were skydiving through a series of rings. It was the combination of controls + the speed that Link falls that I have never been able to do it. The challenge is you have to land on a spinning wheel, specifically the part that gives you the ideal reward.
Cave of Shadows is a similar layout except you have to do it as wolf link, with no fairy healing levels, and it has to be restarted 2 times. I think that makes it harder
I still think the BotW korok hunts were harder and longer due to the ones reaching their friends giving you two seeds and a lot of the puzzles being much easier in TotK
There’s only 100 of the korok friends ones. So it’s 900 puzzles. For unlocking inventory those hundred make it easy. Also if you play BOTW first you already had an idea of how korok puzzles work.
@@rjgaynor8 I just mean I had less trouble and I'm taking about the boulder into the three pronged trees and catching the dandelion seed. I had some troubles with the BotW apple tree matching (finding them was hard enough) and some of the block puzzle ones but one was removed and the other one made easier. Just my opinion, we are all entitled to that. What's your opinion... which did you find more difficult?
@@Ruizon1 I found both to be annoying. And the dandelion one took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out. I refuse to use guides. Also finding the pads on the sides of the sky islands was painful.
Biggoron's Sword Ocarina of Time The number of steps you have to take to get the biggoron's sword, some of them with a tight timer, puts it above and beyond other items.
@@williamwolfxrivera9929 You can, however, use the warps. Getting from Zora's Domain to Lake Hylia is a lot easier when you leave the area, use that warp right outside the waterfall to the Lost Woods, and then simply go into Hyrule Field. Puts you right outside Lake Hylia. For the really long quest from Lake Hylia to the top of Death Mountain, same thing. Go to the Lost Woods, use the Goron City warp, then go into Death Mountain Crater. Then you just hop over those rocks, and climb the ladder to the top. Saves a ton of time and you don't have to deal with any eruptions on the mountain.
I guess Tri-Force Heroes is a spin-off isn't it? Getting the Sword Master suit is nigh impossible if you are soloing that game. Three of the most challenging to get items are needed to make it.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 Honesty the three unique suits are almost impossible. The Cactus suit and the Cheetah suit as well. It's just that the three items for the Sword Master suit are locked behind the hardest of challenges on the hardest levels. That game broke my heart because I thought it would be so much cooler then it was. I thought the doppels would run around and help you, not be useless placeholders for an obnoxious game mechanic. That was why I was excited when I saw the abandoned doppel in the town hub screen. I thought at some point you would get to use it there.
@@sonicguyver7445 The doppels should follow you. Seriously, it worked so well in Four Swords Adventures. Why remove it? It made the game far more annoying.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 I thought you would use the touchscreen to give them orders. Things like "Fight" and they go after all enemies on screen. Or "Defend" and they stick close to you. Maybe even "Treasure hunt" and they start attacking bushes and other things looking for rupees and hearts. It frustrated me so much I started writing a story based in Animal Crossing where a wolf guy named Conner is building doppels to go adventuring with. He is taking apart gyroids for parts to build them as well.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 It can technically be gotten in-game with stale reference manipulation, and some videos demonstrate. Of course this requires emulation and you're basically not really playing the game "normally," but it does let Link technically collect it. But yes, the comment you replied to was lying. There's no way to get the triforce in any actual sense.
Honestly? I’d put the Twilight set in TOTK on the list. The tunic and trousers aren’t hard, but in order to get the Cap of Twilight, you have to defeat a King Gleeok, aka the hardest mini boss in the game, aside from Lynels.
Yeah......I'll admit, I cheesed that.......I found the trousers and the tunic on my own, but was having difficulty finding the cap. A friend of mine told me he had the whole set when we were hanging out one time, so I asked him where the cap was. He told me.......and I promptly whipped out my Twilight Princess Link Amiibo when I got home, used it and got the cap. I'm not too fond of fighting Gleeoks, and was all too happy to go about getting that cap the way I did if it meant avoiding that fight.......I got all the other formerly Amiibo exclusive armor and weapons without using them, though, so there's that......
Gleeoks are very easy if you stock up on Keese eyes. They turn your arrows into homing arrows. You just stay on the ground, fire the homing arrows into the sky, they'll hit Gleeok. Use a greatsword or any weapon that has the powerful spin attack. Rinse and repeat. And King Gleeok doesn't change the environment like the other ones do. They're actually really easy if you do it this way. I remember dreading fighting one then was like, "really? That's all I had to do?"
It's not. The problem is the treasure room has a "good" path and a "bad" path. If you take the latter, you need an additional 2-3 keys. And those keys are well hidden and one of them requires the Silver Gauntlets. If you choose the former, you only need seven keys and nothing beyond the Longshot. So you need to walk around the room and figure out which path to take.
@@drygnfyre Personally speaking, I always found myself taking the "good" path not only because of the key count but also because from the looks of it, the "bad" one took you to absolutely nowhere. So really, I don't have a problem deciding which way to go.
Did they change something about the training ground in ocarina of time 3D? I can't get further. I mean I have no keys but I've walked through the training grounds a thousand times in search for more but there's none. Did they reduce the keys that can be found or increased the doors?
Nothing changed at all. It's the same as it always was. There are enough keys for the doors. Some are well hidden. It's a common misconception that you can run out keys, but it's simply not true.

I’ve been really curious about that too
So many ppl have been trying to fit BOTW and TOTK into the Zelda canon timeline😂😂
BOTW and TOTK not only exist in its own timeline
They have effectively erased every timeline before those two
How u might ask
At the beginning of TOTK
Zelda and Link are still in the BOTW timeline
That is until Zelda picks up the time stone and it transports Zelda to ancient Hyrule
And becomes a Dragon for 10 thousand years
As this became a fixed point in time
All other timelines would cease to exist
Even BOTW’s Champions timeline
As Zelda was not present(pun intended) to form the champions
Instead she formed the sages in ancient Hyrule
Effectively erasing the BOTW story line and all previous story lines as Zelda’s 10’000 years as a dragon kept her incapacitated
Thus TOTK is now the only timeline in existence
The Tri-force hasnt even been created yet in this timelien
As the Tri-Force was created in the sacred realm and the Sacred realm no being introduced yet
It is safe to assume that yes there will be a third installment that…wait for it…will introduce the Tri-Force as a means of returning the timeline back to its original path

Sure there are a couple of overworld puzzles in totk (imo not too much of the puzzle aspect involved), but I feel that botw had a more diversified/interesting set of pre-shrine puzzles (i.e. who took the orb in kakariko village, mystery of the 8 heriones in the desert, etc)
Not gonna lie it took many tries for me to get the big quiver in ocarina of time. But also the Big Goron Sword from oot.
All heart containers in terminal field are designed to make you cry 😩
Thanks for reminding all the players their pain
The mirror shield from Minish Cap made me furious
It was so worth it getting all the masks, and I never once thought of it as grinding, just felt like it completed the game. Link between worlds was also super fun, the coliseum was actually really easy if you had everything upgraded, and I play it for the rupees, as you get like 5000 at the end. (Helpful if like me you think it’d be sick to buy the golden bee, even though it’s so easy to get for free💀)
That on heart piece in Minish Cap you get for collecting all those figures
He said at the beginning no heart pieces would be included but I think that's definitely one of the hardest heart pieces to get and harder than most of the ones on the list.
The Tingle Trophy as well. Finding all 100 kinstones to fuse is pretty hard.
@@machjiffy4710 I wouldn't really say it's "hard" since it's just a matter of luck, not skill. There was a video that explained how to optimize getting the piece, and it's just a really long and tedious process.
Agree with many but not with the minish cap one, the hardest is getting the gold badge for completing the figurine collection, as it requiers a lot of Shell, ruppees and paciencie
One final key in the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time. I was stuck for a month.
Great video! I feel like finding all the shrines in totk was easier than botw since I found all the light roots while riding my hoverscooter. It was the underground and sky shrines that were the hardest to track down.
I was not happy to finish the savage labyrinth to find out that they had replaced the heart piece with the hero's charm.
Yeah they replaced that heart piece with one of the extra treasure charts they added compensating for them removing triforce charts. Funnily enough the original release of wind waker in Japan had a yellow rupee as a troll at the end of the labyrinth and instead that heart piece is underneath Grandma’s house.
Bro didn’t even acknowledge the hilian shield from skyward sword
The 3 day - Anju & Kafei trading sequence leading to the Couples Mask in Majora's Mask.
Especially when it came out in pre - RUclips 2000, and you couldn't exactly Google every little secret and actually had to do some old school Zelda style - exploring.
I just bought the NP Player's Guide which went step-by-step on what to do. In hindsight I do kind of wish I figured it out on my own, though.
If we were including heart pieces, the heart piece in minish cap with the figurines is THE hardest thing to obtain in any Zelda game ever
The next Zelda wallet will come with an AirTag. 😃
I feel like for the bulk of these items the title should have been top 10 most tedious items to get… rather than hardest.
Ice arrows? WTH, that's a standard weapon I breeze through every playthrough. Replace Ice Arrows with the Master Cycle Zero.
Hetsu's Gift should be under the most tedious item to get. Upgrading the inventory in Age of Calamity was easier than wandering around Hyrule looking for hidden Koroks
Awesome Video.
So for Minnish cap you chose the mirror shield when the obvious answer should have been the heart piece in the music house.
They said at the beginning of the video they weren't including anything involving heart pieces.
Honestly I miss the wallet size upgrades
I guess I can't say it belonged here, but I was sort of expecting to see the Hero's/Hylian Shield, from Skyward Sword. From what I've heard, getting through the necessary parts of the Thunder Dragon's Lightning Round, to earn it, is actually harder than just beating Akuma without it, at the end of the game, and that includes the fact Demise even knows how to use Akuma's soul destroying ultimate on your orherwise breakable shields. I guess I don't know; Skyward Sword is my personal least liked Zelda game, so I've never gotten it, but I've heard the unbreakable shield is harder to get than any challenge it will be helpful to have it for.
I DID get the Master Sword in the Oracle series, and the other items that needed high-end trading between both games, and some of that was pretty substantial.
The Trials of the Sword in "Breath of the Wild" to upgrade your Master Sword is really a test of patience and adversity.
The only way I can complete these Trials is by glitching in the walls. I'm still on Trial 2
I never got the colossal wallet from TP. Tried the cave of ordeals with wolf link once and nah screw that.
Anything after 50 gold skulltulas makes you a legend
With how much the Zelda games rely on stamina, I’m surprised that they don’t have a difficult unlock-able that gives Link unlimited stamina. If one did exist, it should be able to be placed on this list.
I don’t know if this is the same thing but can you do a list on the hardest chests to get in Zelda games???
Biggorons sword. Now that was a painful experience.
For me, that tops anything on this list.
I don't even bother trying to get Hestu's gift but my sister was actually crazy enough to obtain it. I don't know if she succeeded with TOTK.
Getting the Hero's Charm isn't worth it even though I have managed to get down there.
I think I did complete the Gratitude Crystal side quest once.
I got the Super Lamp and Net before. I did fight the old man who may be Link's grandpa and you need all items in order to fight him.
5:47 This isn't hard, just tedious. I did do both because I feel like I have to do every shrine. It's better than Hestu's gift.
I got the Fierce Deity Mask on my first playthrough. I heard about this mask before then so I had an idea of how to get it.
7:57 I honestly don't know how I managed to do this.
The Mirror Shield in Minish Cap is completely useless. By the time you get it you already finished the game.
I never got the Bomber's Ring legit. I cheated. 11:08 F**K YOU!
honestly I think that the hardest item to get is the Piece of Heart in The Minish Cap where you need the stupid figurines
555 spactory the goat, its ancestors did well
Many an 80s kid will tell you... the Hammer in Zelda 2.
With no guide and no internet you just took your ass into Death Mountain knowing the hammer... they key to the rest of the game was in there. Somewhere. Somewhere in that maze that harbors alligators wielding axes is the hammer. Where? Who knows? But you've got 3 lives to do it or you have to go back to the beginning and try again.
Biggoron's sword in ocarina of time was pretty difficult. I'm surprised there was no mention of that.
I don’t think it was difficult. Only took like 15 minutes.
It's less difficult and more tedious. It's just a series of fetch quests, and only two have tight time limits. Everything else has no time limit, or the time limit is very generous. Even the ones with the tight time limits can make use of the warps, or Goron City -> Death Mountain Crater to make things a lot easier.
I'm pausing before the start of the video to tell y'all that I'm coming back here when I obtain all of these items
The variety helps torture koroks.
Even though I had a prima guide. Getting fierce deity was hard to get as a kid
Of all the zelda games i completed 100%. Forget Koroks, I found the infuriating motion controls of the Skyward Sword sing along in the bar the worst. I could never complete that enraging sidequest for the heartpiece and so never got the last gratitude crystals. Even the Switch version I cannot do it. I mastered all the bosses in each Zelda game easily, but got stuck on motion control music...what a tragedy,...
The one puzzle in Skyward Sword that to this day I still haven't beaten was the one where you were skydiving through a series of rings. It was the combination of controls + the speed that Link falls that I have never been able to do it. The challenge is you have to land on a spinning wheel, specifically the part that gives you the ideal reward.
The great fairy sword and biggeron swordare both pretty challenging too
Im suprised of the majoras mask from tears of the kingdom isnt on there and master sword trials from breath of the wild
I honestly thought Majora's Mask in TotK would be in here.
Puffshrooms will temporarily blind everything, including lynels. Using those made it easy to defeat them because they couldn't see you.
The ancient hero's aspect did take a long time but i got it
Those with the hero of the wild set
👇
What about the Great Fairy tears in Twilight Princess? You have to go through 50 levels of the cave of ordeals to get those.
Cave of Shadows is a similar layout except you have to do it as wolf link, with no fairy healing levels, and it has to be restarted 2 times. I think that makes it harder
I still think the BotW korok hunts were harder and longer due to the ones reaching their friends giving you two seeds and a lot of the puzzles being much easier in TotK
There’s only 100 of the korok friends ones. So it’s 900 puzzles. For unlocking inventory those hundred make it easy. Also if you play BOTW first you already had an idea of how korok puzzles work.
@@rjgaynor8 I just mean I had less trouble and I'm taking about the boulder into the three pronged trees and catching the dandelion seed. I had some troubles with the BotW apple tree matching (finding them was hard enough) and some of the block puzzle ones but one was removed and the other one made easier. Just my opinion, we are all entitled to that. What's your opinion... which did you find more difficult?
@@Ruizon1 I found both to be annoying. And the dandelion one took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out. I refuse to use guides. Also finding the pads on the sides of the sky islands was painful.
Hestus gift should be way higher
Biggoron's Sword
Ocarina of Time
The number of steps you have to take to get the biggoron's sword, some of them with a tight timer, puts it above and beyond other items.
And you can't use the warp songs either
@@williamwolfxrivera9929 You can, however, use the warps. Getting from Zora's Domain to Lake Hylia is a lot easier when you leave the area, use that warp right outside the waterfall to the Lost Woods, and then simply go into Hyrule Field. Puts you right outside Lake Hylia.
For the really long quest from Lake Hylia to the top of Death Mountain, same thing. Go to the Lost Woods, use the Goron City warp, then go into Death Mountain Crater. Then you just hop over those rocks, and climb the ladder to the top. Saves a ton of time and you don't have to deal with any eruptions on the mountain.
@@drygnfyre I know I did it every time I replay the game
Honestly, what they did in the HD remake of wind Waker just to get the heroes term was a mistake
The hero of the wild set is easier than the ancient aspect since you beat 120 shrines to 152 I think
The absolute HARDEST item to find in all of the Zelda games is the money required to buy them all
I have the Hero's Aspect in TOTK but not the Wild set in BOTW I am 1 shrine left but can't find it.
I got the Fierce Deity Mask in a MCDonalds parking lot
I guess Tri-Force Heroes is a spin-off isn't it? Getting the Sword Master suit is nigh impossible if you are soloing that game. Three of the most challenging to get items are needed to make it.
I thought I got that one but it was just the Sword Suit. I had to take out my dusty copy just to confirm this.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 Honesty the three unique suits are almost impossible. The Cactus suit and the Cheetah suit as well. It's just that the three items for the Sword Master suit are locked behind the hardest of challenges on the hardest levels.
That game broke my heart because I thought it would be so much cooler then it was. I thought the doppels would run around and help you, not be useless placeholders for an obnoxious game mechanic. That was why I was excited when I saw the abandoned doppel in the town hub screen. I thought at some point you would get to use it there.
@@sonicguyver7445 The doppels should follow you. Seriously, it worked so well in Four Swords Adventures. Why remove it? It made the game far more annoying.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 I thought you would use the touchscreen to give them orders. Things like "Fight" and they go after all enemies on screen. Or "Defend" and they stick close to you. Maybe even "Treasure hunt" and they start attacking bushes and other things looking for rupees and hearts.
It frustrated me so much I started writing a story based in Animal Crossing where a wolf guy named Conner is building doppels to go adventuring with. He is taking apart gyroids for parts to build them as well.
@@sonicguyver7445 Reminds me of Connor in Assassin's Creed 3. He had a wolf skin outfit in his DLC adventure.
Not challenging quests!? 😂 Did you forget the pumpkins? 😂
Great
Ye
im calling hestus gift as the hardest and I havent watched it yet
I got the Hylian shield in TOTK!
More cowbell!
You forgot the triforce in oot took me years
You don't actually get that. That's just concept screenshots that Nintendo had.
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 you just got to believe like me
@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 It can technically be gotten in-game with stale reference manipulation, and some videos demonstrate. Of course this requires emulation and you're basically not really playing the game "normally," but it does let Link technically collect it.
But yes, the comment you replied to was lying. There's no way to get the triforce in any actual sense.
Not sure if it’s on here but master mode on botw trial of the sword and twilight princess maximum wallet with the cave of shadows
Give hestus gift more rank, I got typhoon wallet about ten times quicker
The Breathe Bike 🚲
Honestly?
I’d put the Twilight set in TOTK on the list.
The tunic and trousers aren’t hard, but in order to get the Cap of Twilight, you have to defeat a King Gleeok, aka the hardest mini boss in the game, aside from Lynels.
Yeah......I'll admit, I cheesed that.......I found the trousers and the tunic on my own, but was having difficulty finding the cap. A friend of mine told me he had the whole set when we were hanging out one time, so I asked him where the cap was. He told me.......and I promptly whipped out my Twilight Princess Link Amiibo when I got home, used it and got the cap. I'm not too fond of fighting Gleeoks, and was all too happy to go about getting that cap the way I did if it meant avoiding that fight.......I got all the other formerly Amiibo exclusive armor and weapons without using them, though, so there's that......
Just use an Amiibo.
Gleeoks are very easy if you stock up on Keese eyes. They turn your arrows into homing arrows. You just stay on the ground, fire the homing arrows into the sky, they'll hit Gleeok. Use a greatsword or any weapon that has the powerful spin attack. Rinse and repeat. And King Gleeok doesn't change the environment like the other ones do. They're actually really easy if you do it this way. I remember dreading fighting one then was like, "really? That's all I had to do?"
Honestly, I don't think the Gruedo Training Ground is that bad.🙄
It's not. The problem is the treasure room has a "good" path and a "bad" path. If you take the latter, you need an additional 2-3 keys. And those keys are well hidden and one of them requires the Silver Gauntlets. If you choose the former, you only need seven keys and nothing beyond the Longshot. So you need to walk around the room and figure out which path to take.
@@drygnfyre Personally speaking, I always found myself taking the "good" path not only because of the key count but also because from the looks of it, the "bad" one took you to absolutely nowhere. So really, I don't have a problem deciding which way to go.
bro he said that skyward was made in 2021 and wind waker in 2013
THE FIERCE DEITY mask was easy for me i think i got it without knowing
Majoras mask in tears of the kingdom
im suprised majoras mask from tears of the kingdom isnt on there
Bomarang in links awakening
Ocarina of time is easy
I didnt know about the charm from ww I gotta boot my gc back up lol
No Biggorons Sword from OoT?? C'mon now.
The only one whos worth it it's the Fierce Deity mask
Why was the title on the scrub bar “Introduction to Piss Shivers”?
I've found like 200 seeds. 900 wow
Did they change something about the training ground in ocarina of time 3D? I can't get further. I mean I have no keys but I've walked through the training grounds a thousand times in search for more but there's none. Did they reduce the keys that can be found or increased the doors?
Nothing changed at all. It's the same as it always was. There are enough keys for the doors. Some are well hidden. It's a common misconception that you can run out keys, but it's simply not true.
Replace that minish cap ltem with the heart piece for getting all those damn figurines
