I’ve been playing a ton of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and it wasn’t until today that I dug out my old Nintendo amiibos to use in the game. Amiibos can be used in the game to give the main character, Link, some additional items. Apparently some amiibos can also give Link special fabrics for his glider. I do not have all of the Legend of Zelda amiibos out that but I do have quite a few and they did give me some cool stuff in the game.
I am enjoying the Legend of Zelda DLC Pack 1. With it you get a whole bunch of new armor that you have to find throughout the world and a whole bunch of new challenges. The most important challenge for me is the Sword Trials. This is old school gaming at its best. I say old school because there are no breaks and there is no way to save your progress. Also, if you die you start all over. It is frustrating but I do like a challenge. With 45 separate floors or challenges broken up into 3 fifteen floor sets there is a lot of work to be done.
You start the floors with nothing. You only have the abilities that you have mastered with you Sheikah Slate. The Sheikah Slate is a magical tablet that grants you different powers like generating bombs, stopping time and mastery over magnetic items. With it you can get started picking off bad guys. You have to find everything you can as you go through the floors to help you through all the trials. It has been fun to do and I made it through the first 15 so far. I hope that I can work through the rest of them to upgrade my sword. Then I will attempt to play the game on the hard or master level.
