Combat Basics for Beginners (Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom)

babe, wake up. new jonathan sh upload.

If SBR and TCR are no longer possible advance combats, I don’t think I will have the motivation to buy totk...

Do you play any instruments?

I love gaming and I’ve been gaming my whole life, but I’ve always been bad at remembering controls. And bad at combat. This helped me so freaking much!!

Combat seems fairer and slightly easier than in Breath of the Wild. I had no problems executing flurry rushes against the first couple of construct robots, whereas I couldn’t successfully flurry rush even a Bokoblin in BotW until after about 100 hours in.

Thanks for the tips! I just want to point out the audio is weird, specifically the recording of your speech. The audio cuts out during most of your consonants for some reason

if i go to settings and go to special controls i have everything unlocked except the 5th one please help me

Thank you so much ❤ you did a much better job explaining it than Nintendo's tutorial. Like the animations they do before a sertan attack. I didn't know that

I wish there were more videos like this that show which animations go before an attack of all the enemies. Would you make a video like that so we know what to look for from bokoblins, lynels,... That would be super helpful

WE ARE SO BACK BABY

Omg Thankyou Thankyou Thankyou!!!

I beat Zelda: BoTW on Switch, prior to beating Zelda: Skyward Sword HD. IMO, while Skyward Sword HD fighting might not have had the best button controls, but sword+shield fighting was far better than BoTW. Skyward Sword HD had many different ways to strike w/ the Master Sword (no other sword weapons in the game). The player could sword attack at various angles, perform special sword moves that took a lot of stamina, and shield usage was critical. Zelda: BoTW simplified the fighting scheme. While BoTW is a better game than Skyward Sword HD, fights were far simpler, and primarily won by cooking special foods, and taking special potions. I just started the very first part of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. I hope I'm wrong, but it appears the sword fighting is very rudimentary, like BoTW.

If you fuse a shield with a two handed weapon you can still use the shield!!

Great vid

This was better than that training shrine that taught me nothing LOL

Hey I hope you don’t take offense to this but I’m really just curious do you avoid saying “g” and “ck” sounds on purpose or is it like a medical thing? Great video btw super helpful

From one Jonathan to another thank you for these tips my brother! Honestly it should have been intuitive to dodge side strikes backwards and vertical strikes to the side but I guess I’m not as smart as I like to think😅

yeah, the only thing that I'm still need to learn is the perfect parry and this flurry rush

Thank you brotha. Hope you have a good day

I tried but i ca t get a flurry rush.

One thing I hate about this game is how six different things are matched to each button. Makes trying to do something specific very hard

Im really struggling with perfect dodges. I never get to trigger the flurry rush.

I don't mean this in a mean way or anything, but are you unable to pronounce "k" sounds? i notice when saying stuff like "backflip" you drop the "ck" and it sounds more like "ba-tflip". I've never heard anyone speak like that before.
(and I'm really not trying to be mean or make fun or anything, I personally can't make the S sound correctly and I'm actually kinda self-conscious about it because it's slightly audible, but more noticeably you can actually see it in my face anytime I make the S sound, it's hard to explain. But I just try overcome the self-consciousness and pretend like it isn't a problem, until I see myself talk on camera lol... anyway, I was kinda just curious to ask about whether it was an orthophonic problem like me or whether it's just habit or something.

I did it but I just get hit a rag doll down the mountain there’s nothing I can fly

Thank you. I have a tendency to just go into battle swinging wildly. But this has helped. Especially since I get one hit killed sometimes because I’m not properly dodging.

The flurry dodge is the only one I've never seen explained. But thank you!

Always bad at keeping track of this stuff, since I try to do it DURING combat. Thanks!

TotK is still too close of "perfect execution for x" for me. Worse yet i finally play it using pad. my hands just can't handle new controlling :/

Anyone knows how to use broad sword with flurry rush? I use it to fight lynel but after I’m done flurry rushing I can’t always draw the shield for some reason or not fast enough, and end up got hit. Is there a way to draw the shield faster?

Thanks I should know this even though I did all main quests. you explained it really well

The tip with rewinding the barrel into his face was hilarious (and also so useful). Thanks :)

thanks for tips i'll use this tips a lot

Dude great video. You showed more info in 3 min that the 13 min video I just watched. The one that had TWO FREAKING MINUTES of just his introduction! I left a comment there mentioning this lol.

I beat all 4 main bosses and am extremely deep in the game and finally was like man I gotta look up how to do the dodging and flurry rush etc lol

why is no one mentioning his speech habits, why are you skipping over the letters that need to be emphasized? wtf

Straight to the point, no needless yappin. Perfect video and explanation.

Ur the best

Without this video, I could never beat phantom ganon, thank you

Thanks

Man,much appreciated. Perfect for a middle aged gal who shits herself in fights

Great tutorial - thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. Google straight up lied when i asked about perfect dodges so this video helped out heeps

I played this game 40 hours and never knew any of this. I just thought the combat was janky af. Ha. Thanks.

Thanks!

Great video dude, I understood everyting🔥🔥
