294 - Sound Logic Right Here
What's this explosion made of, air!? Why would it not still destroy!?
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #Shrine #treasure #getitdown #FireArrows #notalot #alternative #BombArrows #experiment #didntwork #nofire #confused #howdoesthatwork
Link: I'm a bit low on Fire Arrows at the moment, but let's burn down the scaffolding with Bomb Arrows! A Bomb Arrow is shot, creating a massive explosion. As the smoke clears, the scaffolding holding a treasure chest is shown to still be intact. Link (flabergasted): ... Wha-what? Why, why would an explosion not start a fire?

292 - Curiosity Can't Kill This Cat
And now we know (and knowing is half the battle!)
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #CentralHyrule #ThundraPlateau #curiosity #whatisyourdeal #Shrine #ShrineQuest #fetchquest #thunderstorm #challenge #dangerous #nottoday
Link (paragliding into the Thundra Plateau): Okay, this place is bugging me too much: what is your deal!? Monk Voiceover: In order to access the Shrine hidden here, you must complete a fetch quest within this dangerous, yet restricted thunderstorm (better hope you have some protection, scrub). Link (casually hopping down from the plateau): Another trial for another day...

291 - My How the Times Have Changed
What a difference over 100 comics makes
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #Wasteland #Shrine #backtrack #arrows #nowihaveenough #preparedthistime #myhowthetimeshavechanged
Link (talking over a flashback of comic #64): Remember way back in the second story arc when I didn't have enough arrows to do that one Wasteland Shrine? Link (present day with a quiver over flowing with arrows): Now I'm just past the part I need arrows, and I still have too much!

289 - Don't Like You As Far As I Can Throw You
I was less inclined to take his challenge so much as I wanted to kick his teeth in
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #RidgelandTower #sidequests #flight #Rito #obsessed #looksdownonme #pretentiousjerk #dontmakemedosomethingwellbothregret
Branli (overlooking the horizon): The vast landscape you see before you may be treacherous for the likes of you and me, but this is merely a playground for the Rito. The majestic, graceful, sexy bird people of the Tabantha Frontier can make short work of any expeditions by their enviable wings, capable of such tremendous flights of fancy. Branli: Scrub Hylians like yourself can only dream of that. Link: I can't fly per se, but I can throw your smart ass off this tower!

288 - Shoot Where I Am, Not Where I'm Going to Be
Sometimes it is just that easy
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #HyruleRidge #RidgelandTower #climb #easy #surprising #enemies #attack #tryingtostopme #failing #notgoodenough #dontevennotice
Link (looking up the remainder of the tower he's climbing): Boy, you'd think with all the enemies patrolling the pond down there that this tower would be less of a breeze to climb! As he says this, arrows, lightning blasts, and even a jet of water are shot up to the ledge of the tower he's standing on.

287 - Something About Shrooms and Tripping
How else are we supposed to react to this?
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #CentralHyrule #ThundraPlateau #firstimpression #thunderstorm #strangeplants #mushrooms #toostrange #whatisthat
Link sees the Thundra Plateau in the distance, a place with large vegetation that look like mushrooms and a localized thunderstorm blowing over it endlessly. Link: ... What in the fuck am I looking at here?

286 - Easy or Fun
You just gotta strike the right balance of challenge and enjoyment (it is different for everyone)
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #Shrines #puzzles #balls #launching #soundstricky #beprepared #actuallynot #supereasy #effortless #wheresthechallenge #wheresthefun
Link: Another ball flicking Shrine. No motion controls, but it still sounds like a doozy (it is called Drawing Parabolas). Might wanna keep Zelda Dungeon open in case... Link: ... Oh... Link sees that he is already at the altar the Sheikah monk hangs out in at the end of the Shrine. Link: ... Well easy doesn't make it any more fun.

285 - A Pain in the Eye
I am so happy they programed this!
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #miniboss #Stalnox #eye #eyeball #stealit #throwitaway #puntit #cheeky #funstuff
Stalnox: CLACKITY-CLACK [No give it back!] Link gleefully kicks the Stalnox's eye over a cliff, chuckling mischievously.

284 - SD Comics' Pro Skater
Nothing guarantees I don't use your mechanic ever again quite like moments like these.
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #shield #sledding #dontdothisenough #tryit #nomomentum #grindtoahalt #fail #nevermind #moodkiller
Link: Wait a dickens: I'm going down the mountain. So why the hell am I not surfing down it!? Link hops on top of one of his shields. Link lands on the slope of the mountain and slides down ever so slightly, with a weak RRRRRR. Link stops dead in his tracks instantly. Link: ... Aw.

283 - Gotchya!
I flirt with danger, tease destruction, and commit indecent exposure to death!
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #enemies #Lynel #arrows #shoot #potshot #whilehesnotlooking #runaway #messwithhim #dangerous #funtimes
A Lynel stands menacingly, growling. An arrow strikes the Lynel in the back of the head, dropping his HP to 3999/4000. The Lynel turns to see a dust cloud up on high cliffs, with joyous giggling sounding out and growing fainter as the perpetuator (Link) runs away.

282 - In the Dark of... Darkness
I could take on a Hinox at this point, but I didn't have the stones for whatever the hell this was yet.
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #Shrine #ShrineChallenge #maze #darkness #miniboss #Hinox #soundsrough #notnow #anothertime
In order to overcome this Shrine Challenge and receive another Spirit Orb, you must traverse an ancient maze over this tar pit in complete darkness, weaving through danger and taking an orb from a Hinox Link: Yeah, perhaps another time...

280 - Read the Stars (or Zelda Dungeon)
Cuz who actually did this puzzle the way the devs intended (besides the people making guides, of course)?
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #Shrines #puzzles #stars #constelations #match #toohard #toolazy #lookitup
To solve the puzzle of this Shrine, you must gaze upon the stars in the night sky, and place the balls into the holes that correspond with the constellations. Link stares off into space at the dawning of this information. Link continues to stare as he takes out his laptop.

279 - The No Pants (or shirt) Dance
I kinda gave up on the idea of seeing people's reactions to seeing Link go topless, but I had to at least see Hestu's!
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #CentralHyrule #KorokForest #Hestu #armor #notwearingany #reaction #dance #wild
Hestu (dancing): Naked Naked Naked Naked Naked Dance! Naked Naked Naked Naked Naked Dance! Link (without any armor): Try not to take this out of context, kids!

278 - Brother, Can You Spare a Heart (or any other organ)?
At least I found the forest, save time later
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #CentralHyrule #KorokForest #Koroks #Chio #MasterSword #pullitout #test #notready #willkillme #harvest #organs #front #comebacklater #wontriskit
Chio: You, Hylian! You're the Champion, aren't you? Shouldn't you try to pull the Master Sword? So you can defeat the Calamity? Link: You mean the sword that's rigged to kill me? I heard that it will drain my health if I try to pull it out, and that I need like eight or more (hearts) to pull it out. And I still need quite a few more containers in order to live, dude. Chio (holding a scalpel and hiding a cooler labeled 'KIDNEY'): Nah, guy, don't even worry about that! Link: Yeah, I'm not interested in being harvested, so I'm just gonna go beat the other Divine Beasts and make sure I have enough vitality first, thanks.

277 - Paint With All the Colors of the Fire
Whichever you want to call it, it's pretty neat!
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #Eldin #LostWoods #KorokForest #findit #puzzle #hiddenpath #torches #firelight #follow
Link: So to get through the Lost Woods, I light the torch and follow the fire in the direction that it is being blown, using a torch or combustable weapons to reach Korok Forest. Link: Isn't this more like following the wind and not the fire?

274 - Buyers and Sellers, Pimps and Whores
This Strat can actually carry you pretty far in terms of arrows (just so long as you do other things that can lead to getting more arrows)
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #items #treasure #gems #sellthemall #arrows #restock #adecentamount #rinseandrepeat
Before Beedle Link: I GOT A SHIT-TON OF GEMS!!! After Beedle Link: I... got a bundle of arrows...

273 - Fast Friends
I feel like the messaging that wild horses are lonely and in need of friendship may be a bit dangerous to more impressionable audiences
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #horses #newone #bonding #mechanic #maxedout #instantly #waytooquick #thatssad
Link (on a new horse named Bullcock): Horsey and Speklbut are both scattered somewhere, so let's see how long it takes to befriend you! Bullcock Bond: Max Link: ... Oh. Well that seems depressingly quick.

271 - Shocking (and infuriating) Developments
Seriously, what is the deal with the lightning in this game!?
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #weather #thunderstorms #metal #remove #safeandsound #not #notaguarantee #lightningstrike #tooclose #whataretherules
Link: There's lightning in the forecast, so these Guardian and wooden weapons should keep me from getting smacked by Zeus' co- Lightning strikes with a loud CRASH. In the smoke, Link stands in a startled pose with a frightened expression [Barely Missed] Link: WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?!

269 - Welcome to the Jungle
Why didn't the Yiga Clan set up shop in the banana-infested rainforest?
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #Faron #rainforest #trees #bananas #MightyBananas #lotsofthem #casualobservation #distractions
Faron Area = Rainforest, Apparently Link: Well, contrary to my belief, Faron does not have the next story spot. Link (examining the trees): But it does have Mighty Bananas. Lots and lots of Mighty Bananas.

If only I knew just how much I would be seeing of these fucking dragons between both of these games
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #dragons #Farosh #foundit #finally #surprising #amazing #hunt #harvest #oninstinct #onlythebeginning
The dragon Farosh flies over the Faron area, balls of electricity forming around it. Link (frantically pulling out a bow): HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT IS THIS DRAGON AND WHY MUST I SHOOT IT!?!

265 - Freeze Mister!
I don't care that I didn't ever use it after this, Stasis+ was totally worth it!
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #SheikahSlate #Stasis #upgrade #testrun #enemies #Bokoblin #freeze #inplace #whilemoving #tripup #hilarious
A Bokoblin is seen riding a horse through the fields. The Bokoblin is frozen in place by an upgraded Stasis, and the horse continues to run forward without it. Stasis wears off and the Bokoblin falls flat on its face. The Bokoblin is visibly confused as it gets up. Link (off-screen): PFFFFFFF-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

264 - Killed a Hinox and My Patience
Yeah, probably should've tried fighting one earlier when the loot would've meant something
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #miniboss #Hinox #defeated #victory #spoils #loot #weapons #lowlevel #worthless #wasteoftime #frustration
A large POOF of smoke signals the defeat of a Hinox, with the end of the George of the Jungle Battle Music. Link (sweating and raising his Guardian Axe triumphantly): Ha-Haaaaaa! I did it! I've slain the beast! The Hinox is dead! The loot left behind by the Hinox include a toenail, a Traveler's Sword (5), a Traveler's Spear (3), and a Traveler's Claymore (10). Link (burning with fiery rage): BUT THE HINOX'S TREASURES ARE FUCKING GARBAGE!!!

Had to try sooner or later (auto-life and barrier are good enough boons to start with)
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #miniboss #Hinox #prepared #nervous #powers #DaruksProtection #allset #noneedtofear #giveitatry
Link: Oh damn, a Hinox! Link: I've killed two mini Ganons now, so I MAY be ready to kill it. Maybe when Daruk's Protection cools down- DING! Daruk: Daruk's Protection is now ready to roll! Link (pulling a strength boosting meat skewer): ... Alright, let's do it!

262 - Sixth Sensor
Give it time, Link. Give it time.
#SDComics #BreathOfTheWild #SheikahSlate #SheikahSensor #upgrades #items #tracking #findthemeasier #handy #butnotforme #willieverneedthis
Purah (as narration): With the Sheikah Sensor +, you can find specific objects in Hyrule by taking pictures of them and storing them in your Hyrule Compendium: perfect for side quests and finding certain ingredients or armor upgrades. Link (staring at a mushroom he found using this upgrade): ... Again I say, it's handy, but at this point I would actually prefer sticking with the Shrine part of the sensor for a while, Grannie.
