First Playthrough Challenges!

So, largely over my lifetime I’ve only casually been into Video games. I spent a lot of time at the arcade when I was a kid and absolutely loved Joust, Burger Time, and Dig Dug. I’ve tried over the years to get into it but nothing really clicked however I figured I would get myself a Switch 2 for my 50th Birthday because it looked like fun.

One of my friends strongly suggested Breath of the Wild. Wow. So beautiful and such a good story with fun puzzles. I’ve opened all the Shrines and defeated three of the Divine Beasts. My stamina is maxed and I’m at 20 hearts.

However I want to start tackling Lynels.

I haven’t really mastered the special moves beyond Bullet time. I tried to go back to the tutorial shrine for flurry rush hoping it respawned but no.

What is a good way to practice? Lizals are a pathway to madness, Bokoblin are too erratic. Any other good tips?

Also I was thinking of using my Ancient Armor with my Ancient Weapons (not the arrows tho LOL) as that’s my best weapons and armor combo. I figure with a 3x attack up I should have my best chance. However my fighting elegance is all about running around like a fool to evade blows and button mashing.

I probably should have spent more time practicing combat instead of running away and wandering aimlessly, mostly through the help of Zelda Notes (The navigation tool is awesome!!!) but that part was so much fun and the combat has only become interesting to me recently.

Anyway, thanks for listening to my ramble, and hoping for some solid tips.
