According to Gamespot, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild is "The most impressive game Nintendo has ever created."

With 120 shrines, 900 korok seeds, and 15 towers spread over a vast kingdom, the game sets players up for many hours of exciting gameplay. Unlike Zelda games of the past, Link must now scavenge what he can to fight the mighty forces of Calamity Ganon. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a perfect blend of nostalgia and new found surpris൲es for all ages to enjoy. Everything from Gerudo Valley to The Lost Woods is just dying to be explored.

That doesn't excuse the game from having its faults. Like all video games, there are always annoying little problems to attend to. Tedious enemies that offer little excitement. Puzzles that seem impossible to solve. Areas thaꩲt are difficult to navigate.

Breath of the Wild is still early into its release. This is an age where developers have the ability to tweak things as they go. Updates and modifications to the game are added regularly. Some bring a positive change to the game, and some are just a hindrance. No more infinite arrow spamming from your friendly neighborhood bokoblins. With a complete alternate plot, hard mode, and a cave of trials not far away, many new adventures await players right around the corner. Befor🐈e the new content is dropped this summer, let's go over a number of in-game features that are a real pain in the boko-butt!

15  The Yiga Cꦇlan ꦍ

Soon after the game begins these guys show up🍌, disguised as innocent travelers, to ruin Link's day. The Yiga Clan are a band of Shieka tribe members loyal to the mighty Ganon. Lead by Master Kohga, a joke among Zelda enemies, the Yiga are bent on revenge against the Hylian hero. Although their main objective is getting back at Link for the defeat of their almighty leader, Kohga really defeated himself with his own attack, thereby sending himself into an abyss for good. Pretty embarrassing.

They truly bring nothing but trouble for any player looking to complete side quests along their journey. The player has no real way of knowing if a passing villager is a Yiga assassin in disguise until he or she talks to them. If the villager turns out✅ to be a member of the Yiga, expect an obnoxious fight for Kohga's honor!

14 Octoroks

Octoroks have been around since the first game of The Legend of Zelda franchise for the NES. If one of these pops up, pull out that shield because, appropriately for its name, it will begin to spit rocks, and their aim has seriously improved over the years. Unlike Ocarina of Time, Breath of the Wild octoroks are very difficult to deal with.

In the past, it was a simple process. Pull out the Hy൲lian shield and deflect the projectile back at it. The strategy is more complicated than that now. Link is quick, but even in a full sprint octoroks can hit their mark. The only real weakness to these new and improved squids have is their health. They don't have much of it. One solid hit from an arrow should put them right back in the ground (or wa🔯ter) they popped out of.

13 Star Fragments 𒉰

Star Fragments caught the attention of gamers with their bright yellow beacon that shines brightly in the sky. Collecting these gives the player the ability to upgrade certain armor sets. On the contrary, they are a real pain to track down as they can fall anywhere in the distance. One of the nice features in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is the Hyrule compendium. This is an album of pictures taken throu🌃ghout the game༺ of every item, monster, weapon, and treasure. Well, almost every item.

Sadly for players, star fragments don't have a spot in the album.🔴 This i♊s only made more unfortunate by the fact that the sheika slate's sensor can be upgraded to have an item tracking function, granted a picture has to be taken of the item for the compendium. So in turn, Link can make his way across the vastness of Hyrule in search of a fragment just to arrive and have the star's locator beacon disappear. Better hope it didn't fall off a cliff!

12 Blupees

Blupees are small, blue rabbit-like creatures that give off rupees when struck with a weapon, hence the name. They can't die, but will run once they are hit. Blupees are a new addition to the Zelda universe having not made an appearance in the series until the release of Breath of the Wild.

Players can find them in the forest at night. If Link is lucky enough to spot one and manages to hit it, they'll try to flee, but also leave a handful of rupees behind. It's extremely difficult to land a second hit on a blupee. The payoff for what seems like such a rare find is so small it makes the task of ꩵhunting one down hardly seem worth the trouble.

11 Malice

Malice. Calamity Ganon is made of it. Hyrule Castle is surrounded by it. It is the ultimate threat to the kingdom. The giant globs of evil are al𝐆so extremely annoying to hike around. They can't be walked through without taking major damage, and, of course, they always block our hero's way. Players can also expect to find it inside of the four divine beasts.💮 It's always present at the sites of major boss battles.

Dealing with malice wouldn't be such a pain if it weren't for the minion-controlling eyeba🦹lls that always make an appearance. Destroy the eyeballs, destroy the malice. Unfortunately, the eyes aren't always 𝓀easy to spot. When it's time to make the trek to Hyrule Castle, be prepared. The Gatehouses are guarded by Lynels, and the Lynels are guarded by malice. Lots of it. As if Lynels weren't already the most difficult enemies in the game, they only become more difficult when coupled with biting skulls produced by the surrounding malice. Yikes.

10 Stal-Enemies 🤪

There are a variety of "stal" enemies players encounter in Breath of The Wild. Stalkoblins, Stalnox, and Stalmoblins are all skeleton-like, undead versions of enemies normally encountered throughout the game. They typically have very lღittle equipment to offer. That being said, they will go to such links as offering up their own arms and legs! Nobody wants an inventory full of arms and legs. Their power is low, plus it's just plain creepy.

They don't die when their bodies are struck. Players must hit them in the head tꦉo take them down. (Stalnox and their eyeballs are an exception). It's guaranteed Link will run into these guys as soon as the sun sets over the horizon. It's to the player's benefit to save their inventory weapons for more worthwhile enemies. Beat these stal-monsters down with their own body parts!

9 Koroks

Koroks are cute little forest creatures stationed all around the kingdom of Hyrule. Their looks may be adorable, but they'r🎶e a nuisance to come across. The number of koroks total up to 900. That's a lot of korok seeds! The only real purpose the seeds serve is to upgrade the player's max inventory. With that being said, the player's weapon slots are filled to completღion long before 900 seeds are collected. That begs the question. Why so many koroks?

One can only assume the sheer number of korok puzzles is to give the gamer the opportunity to max out their inventory no matter where they decide to venture, but what happens when Link finds all 900 of them? The time it would take to complete such a task is massive. Surely there is a big pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. There is no treasure at the end of this rainbow, just one giant-sized korok crap! In the game, it states that it's "a gift of friendship given to you by Hetsu. It smells pretty bad."

8 Rain

It doesn't matter if Link is trying to scale a cliff face, light a camp fire, or carry an ancient torch, rain is not a good thing. Anyone that has been lucky enough to get their hands on a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild would agree that rain and climbing don't mix.

Picture it. The Shrine is right atop that nearby mountain peak. The top is barely within reach. It starts to rain. Within seconds Link finds himseꦡlf quickly sliding down that mountain that took five minutes to scale. Time to wait for the clouds to clear and try again. Frustrating right? Carrying to torch to the ancient Hateno Lab wouldn't be such a daunting task if the rain didn't begin to fall in between each lantern. No campfires in ꦇthe rain!

7 🌺 Skyꦏwatcher Guardians

These guardians can be found flying all around Hyrule Castle and Death Mountain. If they spot Link with their red sensor beam, an onslaught of laser⭕ attacks is soon to follow. The only thing that could make it harder to sneak by the skywatchers 🍃is having to sneak an extremely large, clumsy goron by them. (Yes, it has to be done to get Link inside Vah Rudania.)

When it's time to finally take on Calamity Ganon, be prepared to take out, or sneak past a ton of these things. It works best if you have already deᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚfeated Medoh, and received Revali's gale. Fly up using the gale, then follow up with Link's signature slow-motion arrow shot to its eye, or take out the skywatcher's propeller. If all else fails, running and hiding is always a solid backup strategy. Just make sure to have plenty of stamina!

6 Sailing

Sailing in Breath of the Wild is a slow and tedious process. A Korok leaf is needed to propel the raft by blowing🙈 wind at the sail. Korok leaves are only useful for this, so it's mostly just a waste of inventory. Attack an enemy with a leaf? It doesn't go well. There are shrines and islands a pretty good ways out into the ocean, which makes for a long trip with such a slow sailing method.

It is possible however to tie octorok balloons to a raft, hereby transforming it into a flying ship of s♑orts. It doesn't much matter if the raft is in the air or sea; the process will still be slow. If it comes down to choosing between paraglider and raft for travel? Choose the paraglider. It saves time.
