How can i prevent link from spawning on a horse during dark beast Gannon fight?

I’m doing the moon jump glitch but need it active during the dark beast fight however the game forces me onto a horse at the start of this fight which removes the moon jump, i tried getting moon jump then killing my horse and fighting but it gave a default house to ride, anyone know a way to start this fight on foot?

Need advice

Hey guys I got a couple of questions. Long story short, I got botw and I plan to finish it in master mode with 100%. I'd need a tracker, but breath companion needs in app purchases and I don't have money. I don't want to use some website bc it's incredibly unhandy, so does anyone have any other options? Idk if botw is still being played but I hope it is. Also, I have no idea How to beat a lynel. I'm using stasis, decent food, the champions blessings, everything. it'd be nice if someone gave me advice on that too.

BoTw and TotK house question!

Does either game allow you to hang defeated creatures heads on the wall like trophy mounts? (Similar to the way you can hang weapons)

Thanks!

Quick question

So, I'm in my second playthough of botw. I got into gerudo town, and riju and buliara were talking about how I didn't have the master sword. This got me curious, if I get the master sword, does that dialogue change? In a game as detailed as botw, I figured it probably does. Does anybody know for sure?

I got 2 Questions

So the Giant bird. Where are the people to help me fight it? Or do I fight it by myself?

And then how many floor levels are there for the master sword. I got to floor 25 I think and died and had to restart from the start. Is there a check point I can reach or am I just cooked if I reach like floor 100 or something and die?

If you get a Hylian Shield with modifiers, when it breaks and you buy it for 3000, does the bought one come with the same stats or base stats regardless of what shield you got in the chest?

First timer

I’m on my first playthrough and I’m struggling. I’m new to video games in general and just got done playing Witcher 3, which was my very first game I played all the way through. I’m struggling bc I suck at fighting and I feel like my gear is really low and I feel like my skills are too low even for the beginning of the game. I’m on the first divine beast over by the zora where you swim up the water fall. I’m just on the lightning lynel thing and I’m like HELLA fucked every time I try to play. Idk if I’m doing it in the wrong order or if I missed something I needed to do or get first. It’s frustrating. I originally was going to each memory but when I asked my husband for help, he said it seemed like I was somewhere I wasn’t meant to be yet. So I went back to the zora storyline, which I originally stopped this quest bc I felt like this was too hard for me at that point.

Thanks for any help.

Me, 'a souls veteran' that can't spell

My wife loves this game and Tears of the Kingdom. Finally giving it a proper go on her recommendation and having a lot of fun.

That's all. [T]/

My boyfriend set a dog on fire😥

Already posted this to the botw subreddit, but I thought you guys would like it too.

Exactly as it sounds. My boyfriend, love him to death, was trying to relight a cooking pot at a stable and hit the dog with his flame spear instead. He stopped, aimed, and hit it. In his defense though, he has very poor vision, and the tv is several feet away. That poor dog... He says that it was dark and the dog was the same color, but the dog had a very noticeable white streak. He will never live this down.

Another little detail about the Blights I noticed.

So I’m not sure if this has been noticed before (it probably has, on balance) but between my third playthrough of the game and watching some speed run videos, I noticed another fun little thing about the Blights.

It’s well known that each Blight carried a weapon of the same class as its respective champion, only better, in order to counter them- so, Water had a longer spear than Mipha, Wind had a better projectile than Revali, Thunder had a more curved scimitar and durable shield than Urbosa, and Fire had a chunkier two-handed than Daruk.

But…what I don’t see noticed often is that each Blight also has a similar ability to its respective champion- but each copied ability has a glaring flaw.

Waterblight can manipulate water with a shimmery spell, the way Mipha can- but it can’t use it to heal, only to attack.

Windblight can create powerful wind gusts, the way Revali can- but the gusts are always bound to the ground, and don’t go as high.

Thunderblight can shock everything in the vicinity with a powerful thunderbolt, the way Urbosa can- but it can only do that if there are metal objects around to conduct the electricity (like the poles it drops in phase 2).

And finally, Fireblight can cloak itself in a protective sphere, the way Daruk can- but unlike Daruk, this shield is badly weak to bombs.

What does this mean? Well, I think that this really drives home the point that the Champions and their abilities are pure, noble, and can’t be warped for nefarious deeds.

Ganon custom-builds the Blights to be a carbon copy- only stronger- of each Champion. So he’d naturally want to make it so that each Blight has the Champions’ very useful abilities as well. But try as he might, he could only get flawed and cheesable versions to work- because the Champion abilities can’t be corrupted. They are bound to their respective user, and only their respective user can bestow them upon someone.

Ganon could take over the Divine Beasts, throttle the various races of Hyrule, and try to copy their fighting style- but he can’t touch their spirits, and their ability is locked up in their spirits.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed my theory (it’s probably been done before, but I had to say it). If I were totally mad I’d carry on about how the reason he can’t touch spirits is because Mineru’s power still has a death grip on him, even though the reason I think the Calamity happened was because Rauru’s seal on Ganondorf was broken slightly by excavation of the Sheikah Tech, allowing a gigantic leak of Malice out that would form Ganon…but cross-game theories are for another day and I’m tired :)
