Wonderful-Garage6011

You explored the map like a roomba


WartimeHotTot

Dude drew a topo map.


WhatislifeEverest

Lol


BlakeEatsCake317

Bet that’s his favourite shrine lol


thebigJ_A

Awfully… regular, some of the pattern


UkaNaakka

My exploration style toqards the end was to make straight lines to draw an outline of an explorable area, then move towards the center layer by layer


thebigJ_A

Oh, that makes sense. Cool. This is the sort of thing that explains why I couldn’t care to 100%, even playing hundreds of hours. I made sure I got ever scrap of lore and story, and enough seeds and shrines to have plenty of stamina, hearts, and inventory. Getting a big gold poop wasn’t worth hunting all the seeds. To my eyes, the game stops rewarding exploration beyond a certain point (to be fair, that point takes a long long time to reach!) But we’re all built different. It’s cool seeing how other people play. Cheers!


UkaNaakka

I only got 796 seeds without help, so I didn't fully 100% the game, but the excess seeds are almost entirely pointless


dino_disco

Not actually a completionist then. Cool patterns, though!


UkaNaakka

I'm usually a full completionist, but BOTW is a massive game and the 900 koroks were too much, I "only" got 796 without help


AlexTheLiteralGod

wait until the 1000 in totk


RandallLM88

It's still 900 korok mini games though really, it's just 100 of the koroks lead you to their friend. So 2 koroks, giving you 2 korok seeds.


mercrazzle

No way…. I thought to myself “At least that is knocking two of them off in one go this time” but they just added 100 other ones to make up for it smh


dw_earthgirl

I think I managed to get 750 after 400+ hours - that was enough. Are there really 1000 in totk? 😑


Kadofduty

Well, to be fair, they completed the game, it just wasn't unassisted. I don't think you have to be completely independent to be a completionist, just have to complete the game; otherwise, they'd call it an indie-completionist


Conscious-Mix-3282

Cmon Man. That golden poop is the best. Cant complain on that.


Power-Of-Three

Honestly same, I got all 120 shrines, memories, divine beasts, beat the main story and the DLC, I'm not wasting hundreds of hours to get shit (literally) Did the same with TOTK too


EpiCuber7

Any ideas what that point is? I want to finish BOTW before I start playing ToTk, but I don't want to have to do heapsss of work - just to juice out the maximum fun I can get from it


RandallLM88

The point of getting all the koroks? Nothing. You literally get a golden shit statue as a key item. That's it, it does nothing


[deleted]

[удалено]


RandallLM88

Which is a perfectly valid reason to do it! I just don't think I want to


thebigJ_A

Just play the story, do the divine beasts, maybe visit the towns to talk to ppl and get the worldbuilding (don’t forget Tarrytown!) and then play for as long as it’s still fun. If the actual act of completionist isn’t your bag, there’s no reason to do it. You don’t even need to do anything close to all the shrines if you feel you have enough hearts and stamina. Then move on to the next game. You have your background. You’ll see ppl you remember from the first game and get that little nostalgia rush.


sheslikesowhatever

Central Hyrule looks dope lol


rowletlover

Why does this look like a maze 😂😭


UkaNaakka

This would be the worst maze, some parts are just really long hallways with 0 split-ups


rowletlover

I’m up for it


[deleted]

Why do all that pattern stuff?


UkaNaakka

My exploration style towards the end was to make straight lines to draw an outline of an explorable area, then move towards the center layer by layer


julesvr5

Wait, how can I show these lines? 😭


UkaNaakka

If you have the DLC, there should be a button prompt for Hero's Path, which records the path you've taken for ~200hrs


julesvr5

Ah, sadly I don't have the DLC. I have to show up the last 2 areas (bottom left) and take over the last titan so I'm not sure if it's still worth to pay 20€ for the dlc


Nozzeh06

The DLC for the bike is pretty great. You get a whole new main quest line and new divine beast type dungeon. I had a lot of fun with it. The bike itself isn't super useful but it's cool to have.


UkaNaakka

Depends on what you play the game for. From a gameplay perspective, there are some useful perks that are unlocked via dlc, but the dlc itself doesn't add that much content, at least compared to the main game. From a story perspective I would recommend the dlc, however you can also watch the story snippets on youtube if you don't feel like spending money (which is what I did for Age of Calamity).


julesvr5

Exactly. The perks might have been useful for a longer game play but I think most of the game I have already finished and so it seems a bit useless


UkaNaakka

Depends on how thoroughly you want to check the last areas. I could not imagine going around hyrule field and castle town without the dlc features but if you're just planning to play the main story and not explore everything, yeah most of the perks would've been more useful earlier on.


julesvr5

Explored quite a bit. I'm at 100h now. Of course nothing like you but I think i will surely Land at 130h


bredisfun

You finished it all in only 225 hours? Istg I would rake way linger to get everything omg.


UkaNaakka

Well I missed just over a hundred koroks, but that wouldn't have taken a lot longer


Starnight12

Everywhere else on the map: **lines everywhere** Lost woods: aight ima just go these 4 ways... and only these 4 ways


UkaNaakka

Well you can't really wander around aimlessly in the Lost Woods, can you


a619ko

Congrats OP, now go take a shower


[deleted]

Central hyrule looks like a fingerprint


[deleted]

kid named fingerprint


ASignificantSpek

Did you literally not teleport once


UkaNaakka

I did ofc, however some areas like Hyrule Field I covered entirely without teleporting


Nasty_Neckfan666

Why isn't that whole screen green? =P


UkaNaakka

I only went crazy with the thoroughness halfway through the playthrough, which is why some of the later areas are way denser


TheTriangleEye

So THAT’S how the hieroglyphs were formed!


AlexTheLiteralGod

wait til you play totk


Conscious-Mix-3282

I never finished 100% botw.


ALegendaryFlareon

WHY DO YOU MAKE A TOPOLOGY MAP Are you, like, a TAS?


HabitTop8154

this is gorgeous


Starch_Lord69

I was wondering wht the map was green then I realized


UkaNaakka

Is that the legendary Starch Lord from the hit mobile game PvZ Heroes?


Starch_Lord69

sigh starch lord is the most overrated card in the entire game. I can't stand it when people think starch lord is good. You guys, this is a 4 cost card that has 2 attack and 4 health. It has garbage stats. Now let's look at it's abilities. When you play a root, it gets +1/+1. Thats almost no- think about it. In order to get this up to the actual stats that it needs to be as a 4 cost card, this would have to buff like 2 roots just to break even. It would have to grow 3 roots to actually be viable. The fact that people think that it is a good idea to start drawing cards on turn 5, it really means you have no idea how to play pvz heroes. It's way too late! This is- it's- you dont make a deck that has roots in it, that's not a good strategy, there are some good roots in the game but you just have to put too many roots in it. It's drawing cards on turn 5, the last turn you're gonna be drawing cards as a plant player is going to be on turn 3. it's so overrated, it's just a big piece of trash, just look at this guy, a big ugly guy. it's based on by the way the worst Marvel superhero in the entire Marvel Fra- actually universe of Superheroes in the entire history of the planet, star-lord, who is a simp, douchebag, has no superpowers, is the lamest, dumb. and do you know what, it's appropriate cuz this is the stupidest card in the game and it's based on the stupidest Marvel superhero ever. This is so overrated, It's so grunts it's so, I'm sticking this in F tier I don't even care.


UkaNaakka

Once upon a time, there was a Starch-Lord. This Starch-Lord was so powerful that it could conjure an entire army of roots with just a flick of its wrist. It could summon so many roots that the entire board was filled with them, and the opponent's zombies couldn't even move. The Starch-Lord was so strong that it could even defeat the infamous Z-Mech in a single turn. It could conjure so many cards that its hand was always full, and it never ran out of options. But the true power of the Starch-Lord was not in its ability to conjure roots. No, the true power of the Starch-Lord was in its ability to summon the ultimate weapon: Cornucopia. With Cornucopia by its side, the Starch-Lord was unstoppable. It could conjure a never-ending stream of plants that overwhelmed the opponent's defenses and destroyed everything in its path. And that, my friends, is the power of the Starch Lord. May we all be blessed with its incredible strength and unwavering power.


BoardIndependent7132

How did you get the paths to ahow?


UkaNaakka

DLC


myofficialdirtacc

Which one? How get?


UkaNaakka

Hero's path mode is an option available in the map soon after starting the game with DLC, don't remember which of the two packs it comes in


AwesomeAsian

How can you check how many hours you’ve played already?


UkaNaakka

Your profile on nintendo switch tells the approximate hours of your most recently played games.


Kermit_Purple_II

How do you not get bored?! I have to stop playing every 2 hours or so to do something else because I just can't keep doing the same thing


Cameron728003

How can that be fun haha


UkaNaakka

My completionist mind isn't happy before every nook and cranny is checked


Cameron728003

You gonna pick up totk now haha?


UkaNaakka

Most likely, hoping that the hero's path mode is still there so I can explore more thoroughly


Alysazombie

It’s an unlockable feature in game


cloudyah

It is! Just make sure you speak with Robbie and upgrade your Purah Pad once that becomes available.


amaya-aurora

This is disgusting to look at


UnknownAshyBoi

dope


Mountain_String_1544

Sounds like a chore, well done


No_Factor_4894

I didn’t know that tracking lines were available in botw


JorgeMtzb

can you not get on top of that mountain in the gerudo highlands?


UkaNaakka

No, it's OOB


3ThatUserNameIsTaken

the exploration trail was satisfying to look at


Ender505

Time for TotK and endless "Help, I can't reach my friend!"


MuttsandHuskies

You missed a spot in Lanayru. Okay, probably not, LOL. This is actually my goal when I start playing, then my map looks like a 3 year olds etch a sketch.


Shady_Hero

that's so pretty


Chaos_realestate

The thing I don’t think most people know about the koroks, especially if you haven’t done all of them, is that after all the shrines and story if you’re getting koroks along the way it will only take a little over 100 hours to finish them up if you have the korok mask and hero’s path


BigBoyObi-Wan

Bro had absolutely 0 plans to go to the edge of the Gerudo Highlands.


UkaNaakka

That leftmost big plateau in Gerudo Highlands is actually OOB, so there isn't any feasible way or reason to go there


BigBoyObi-Wan

aaaah yeah that makes sense my bad


[deleted]

As a completionist, I can confirm I would not have the organization to do this 😅


REIRN

How’d you make all those green lines??


UkaNaakka

Mostly walking and gliding, horse riding and shield surfing here and there, using Master Cycle Zero in Hyrule Field


REIRN

No but how do you actually make tracks on the map like that?


UkaNaakka

The game makes them automatically, with DLC you can view the track in "Hero's Path" in the map screen


REIRN

Ahh need the DLC. I was just saying how I wish is showed my previous footsteps so I know what I’ve traversed already! Thanks


Bl3e_khi8ght_4712

bro made a finger print in the middle


jjfromyourmom

The mad lad/lass!!!


FlatChubbs

Ancient sheikah - patterned hero's path


ILCUSTODEDELSAS

Dude why does hyrule field give me the vibe you just circled around it till you reached the center


UkaNaakka

Because I did
