Yea, that is not available on the Switch I don't think.  BOTW is a fun game, just the bosses are a pain to beat.  And some of the tougher characters kill you  with 1 shot.  Again, I may need to beef up my armor/resistance. Still using basic armor as right now, rupees are not easy to come by.  May need to do some gem farming.

Rubies in BOTW they are hard to find in the open so the best way to get them is by collecting items and selling them. If you want to farm something to sell then the breakable rocks are a good source.

The only boss i had trouble with in the main quest was the Thunderblight Gannon. I fought the Waterblight Gannon first but I think going after the Windblight Gannon first is a better move since the power you receive after that fight helps you out a lot when exploring.

So which bosses are easiest ranked from 1-4 then?

Started playing this again.  Got to the first machine thing to take over.  Think there is 4 of them.  Anyway, bosses are hard an a PITA in this game.  Maybe I am low level and need better equipment or something.  So I am skipping the boss and exploring now.

Food is the key to this game. Since it can take a while to get enough resources to buff up your gear or to get extra hearts and stamina, food can easily make up the difference. The only real hard enemies are Lynels and maybe Thunderblight Gannon. Everything else is just a matter of looking at the best weapons and food for the situation. I do recommend that you exploit the hell out of the bombs as it will save you weapon durability against the weaker stuff. Keep in mind the game scales up based on how many of certain enemies you kill. I don't have the exact numbers, you can search reddit for that, but once you kill like 15 or so of a specific creature it upgrades to a higher version a little later in the game, but this is also when you start to get better weapons. Last but not least learn to parry. It is the one skill that will help you more so than anything else especially against Guardians. On non-master mode you can pretty much kill them easily with their own beam attacks. If you are on master mode I recommend ancient arrows instead.

I got the master sword and Hylian Shield.  First boss went down easily after that.  Also, got some better armor.  took less than 2 minutes.   at thunderblight now, but going to level up an armor set to level 2.  At L2, the armor gets lighting resistance.  Should help.

    • Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
    • "This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time" ... Lol.
    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
