Have a great day, and as always, thanks for watching!

Hello everyone, new sort of video concept (compilation). Let me know what you think, and as always, thanks for watching!

[ChiquiYouTube]

This guy deserves way more subs for the amount of work he spends adding timestamps, detailed explanations, and clips in each and every one of his videos. Keep the hard work up!

The Frox is very easy to defeat.

1. Shoot it with a dazzle fruit arrow. It will stun it (you don't even need to hit the eye)
2. Climb on its back and attack the ore things
3. When you see its back shake, it will fling you into the air. Activate your glider and it will face up to try and swallow you. Shoot it again with a dazzle fruit arrow and repeat process

Usually it takes me 2 or 3 dazzle fruit to kill him, and the Frox is basically stun-locked throughout. It is very easy to kill him though.

Others guides out there is like a advertisement show meanwhile this dude present it like a lecture, this deserves more subs and likes.

For the sky mines puzzle, you can use Ascend from the pillars to escape the sphere while it's moving, no need to do tricky platforming before placing the cube on the switch

[ToyKeeper]

Thanks for the informative video! Also, it's amazing seeing how many puzzles I accidentally skipped by flying in from above instead of climbing up from below. I've mostly been trying not to cheese anything in this game, because the puzzles are genuinely enjoyable, but there have been a ton that I skipped because I didn't even realize they were there. I love the freedom and abilities the game provides, but that also means it's often harder to notice that a puzzle exists than it is to just go straight to the goal.

[devak]

Dude you have literally the best TOTK guides on YouTube hands down. So detailed and clearly explained. Subbed & Thank you!

[freshproduce]

Thank you for being so thorough! The worst thing about looking something up about this game is you end up having to look up ten other things to complete the picture.

[bigbotzone]

Just ascend out of the orb. No need for all that reverse time stone block moving. Brilliant explanations btw, your videos are a blessing.

[robbynew]

Thank you for making these videos. Besides the clear, helpful content and organization, I also appreciate that
unlike many gamer channels, your vocal style and delivery does NOT remind me of a coked up morning zoo radio DJ from the 90s.

[lvertigo]

Simply amazing! This is extremely well put together and organized. Excited to see more of what you have!

[brewhog]

God, the stake idea for building devices is genius. I can't believe I didn't think of this before. Thank you!

[Stostri]

Easier way to get out of the orb mentioned in the sky mines puzzle 17:45, just jump on one of the three pillars and use Ascend.
You can also skip the entire trip to the North Tabantha Sky Archipelago 23:00 if you have the Zora armor already. Instead, go to Strock Lake and swim up the waterfall West of the island. Launch the wing and go to the center island as normal, but go to the Eastern island with the Flux Construct instead and use the pre-built device there to ascend to Lightcast Island.

This is probably the best guide for a Zonite progression without exploits.

I would like to add for those who don’t want to grind, that the moment you find a large zonite, you can duplicate 5 at a time every few seconds with a few methods and get the 720 large zonite necessary for 16 batteries almost instantly.

I did this and it doesn’t feel game breaking in the slightest, at least not like how duplicating Diamond does.

[EverythingWentSideways]

you are great at making guides man! really feel like i learned a lot and it wasn't difficult to understand. great work! :)

[TheLikeButtonLMAO]

It should also be known that when on a lynel's back, a fused gloom weapon will not inflict gloom on hit, so if you don't have royal guard weapons, fused gloom weapons are very good for killing lynels.

[kavorka]

I've been playing TOTK for over a month now, and I haven't completed 10% of it! It's a massive massive world! Some of the puzzles are quite challenging and OMG they can be solved in so many different ways!

[nblar]

So I am not one who normally tips video guides(or any YT videos) but yours are so well done and helpful that I feel almost obligated to reward the effort.

Thanks for the help!

[A-Person]

You don’t actually need to be in the enterance of the orb for the zonaite pants. You can just ascend through the roof and then glide down

[fitforfreelance]

Wow this game is way deeper than I thought! Talking about profit margins for cooking the elixirs!
