No no no, about tip 1, you are supposed to swing wildly in all directions and then say that the combat system sucks.

Pro Tip for Newcomers: no caffeine before the Silent Realms. Your heart will thank you.

@heikitsune2181 5 years ago

Another tip for new comers and old players to skyward sword using motion controls: swing it like a actual sword. Don't fail about wildly. Take your time and think about your moves. Like an actual sword fight. The motion controls won't be as finicky.

The sitting in chairs to heal is one of the reasons SS is the only game with a good balanced hero mode. All the other games kinda just tacked it on with needing potions or fairies period. Plus SS has a medal that literally still makes hearts spawn in hero mode.

That thumbnail has big, " pictures taken moments before disaster" energy.

Make sure you have room in your wallet before you open any Goddess Chests. If you get a silver or gold rupee when your wallet is full, the rupees will be thrown away.

So far my faith in this game has been restored.

I can finally properly stab the spiders in Skyview to death

Stamina potion upgrades and health potion upgrades will be your friend! Stamina potion will make the sliding part of the Edin Volcano easier.

Imprisoned: (Is free)
Link: This is fine.

Another tip: if you’re impatient like me, you can roll directly right after climbing a ledge, opening a door, or anything else to reach full sprinting speed faster.

This basically negates time accelerating when you run, and makes the game feel faster. I believe SS speedrunners utilize this trick. It’s also useful in dodging enemies if need be.

I'm one of the few people in the world that enjoy the motion controls.

Pro tip for newcomers: When trying to catch bugs, it is most effective to run towards them at full speed swinging your net wildly in all directions. Take it from a seasoned veteran such as myself.

I’m glad more people will play this game and see that it’s pretty good!

@ThornPrincessForger 5 years ago

A note about stamina: it’s different than BotW. When you’re out of stamina, you can stand in place to recover stamina slightly faster.

Preferably, you’ll want to completely avoid running out of stamina; it’s more dangerous in SS because you move so slowly, compared to BotW when you can still walk quite fast.

The same goes for recovering stamina even when you don’t run out. Standing still will let you recover stamina faster than walking, running, and z-targeting.

Master the shield bash. It will stun certain enemies and bosses giving you the time and opportunity to counter-attack. I only picked this up in the second half of the game and sometimes I got frustrated because it took forever to beat certain types of enemies (like the three-headed snake).

@icards7986 5 years ago

I played the game back on the Wii, and I didn't know about the Imprisoned tip. That was neat.

@Galaxia_EX 5 years ago

Huh, after all these years I never knew you could draw a triforce on walls to get fairies.

@Vic-Valentine 3 years ago

tip nr 1. enjoy it becomes once youre done you feel empty

@mysryuza 5 years ago

“Patience is key” Damn I must be that strong because I did fine with the old motion controls.

@ThornPrincessForger 5 years ago

Possible Spoiler Tip for Hero Mode:

When you first get the goddess sword in hero mode, I believe it has the same skyward strike charging speed as the master sword in the end of the save file before. Use this ability generously; it’s quite powerful.

When you get the true master sword in hero mode, it charges instantly.
