I'm confident that there will be plenty of new stuff to explore, but I have some concern that perhaps something like 75% of the surface will feel very similar to BotW, and that I'll still feel the need to explore it to be sure I'm not missing the 25% that is substantially different. But I'm less excited about spending a substantial amount of time re-exploring areas that are like: the geography is the same but koroks and enemies are in different spots. This makes me wonder if the champion weapons were originally going to be more closely tied with the Divine Beasts - maybe you find the weapon somewhere inside the Beast, or the Blight has a weakness to a certain type of attack which means it's much easier to use that champion weapon (or at least a weapon of that type) to defeat it.Thanks for this thread! I've got a question:Īs someone who spent 200 hrs on BotW combing through the landscape to find all the shrines and enough koroks to unlock all the item slots - I love what I've seen of the sky islands and the teases of underground, and I'm interested in exploring surface areas that feel substantially different. Whenever an enemy dies, the game increments a flag 'Defeated_ Progressively replaced by more powerful variants as you gain more points. Killing enemies is the only way to receive points. Overviewĭifficulty scaling in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is based on a point system. Here are the results of 5 days of research. I hope this post will make the mechanics behind the scaling system perfectly clear and easy to understand. However, because there are some edge cases that cannot be explained with pure testing, and because I like results that can be verified by everyone, I decided to have a look at the difficulty scaling system by analysing the game logic and files directly.įor people who have already read the aforementioned posts, some of the information contained in this post may be redundant but will include many more references and clarify some details. Many of you probably also know that this difficulty scaling system is based on killing enemies, as explained in these two extremely detailed posts on enemy and weapon scaling by _KERO_. ![]() The latest version of this post (with less uncertainty now that more research has been done) is available on the ZeldaMods wiki along with other mechanic breakdown posts.Īs everyone knows, both enemies and weapons in Breath of the Wild progressively become more powerful during a playthrough. My first idea was to use a GitHub repo, but a wiki turned out to be better for making information easier to edit. Update : I've been setting up a dedicated wiki to keep all information in a single place, instead of putting it on random reddit posts. TL DR: I figured out the actual rules for enemy and weapon scaling in the game. There's subreddits for that and this isn't one. Applies to some comments but not always enforced on them. However, future posts like this will be removed due to bashing a political party. For example, a post like this is allowed, it's not taking a side, it's a Zelda play on a common meme. Political memes are allowed, but not if they reflect affiliation with a certain political party. Sexism, Political, Racial, Or Any Discrimination Posts more suited for their Facebook page or blog, not all low quality posts need removal but the report brings it to a moderator's attention.
