I let my friend's son play. Told him to go to the castle after I let him run around a town and ride Epona. He was thinking this game was soft and easy until he saw a Blood Moon. On his way to the castle two walking guardians, two sentry guardians, a flying guardian and a Yiga Clan ninja lit his ass up AT THE SAME TIME! He used up so many fairies. The Yiga ninja who was laughing and shooting arrows at the boy got caught in a crossfire between two guardians. After nearly dying so many times and using up a shytload of meals., he was like can we find some easier enemies cause this is ridiculous after he finally hit that gameover screen. So I said yeah you need to find some bokoblins and showed him how to warp. He accidentally warped to a white maned Lynel. There goes the last of my fairies. I told him don't worry about it I'm not using this save file, warp somewhere else. He warped to Death Mountain caught on fire, I said ok thats also too dangerous try somewhere else. He warped to Gerudo they kicked his ass out. I told him he had to cross dress to get in then said fukkit gimme the controller, I sent him to the Great Plateau. He drowned in some quicksand before finally finding easy Bokogblins.
Because I've been playing so long I forgot how hard the game really is until I saw someone play it for the first time. This game is fukking ruthless to noobs that haven't started out on the great plateau.
