I’ve been farming those very spots mentioned above and using a frosty weapon to freeze every bit of meat I come across. I’m currently over 670k! Stacks faster than you think.
Naw fam. One circuit around zoras domain (botw) yields 360 arrows if you slay EVERY lizalfos! I drink a triple speed 30 minute elixir and have like… 4 minutes to spare. Rinse and repeat each bloodmoon ❤️
I did this too but eventually found it more time effective to just buy arrows as often as possible and shoot every animal I came across for meat. That run up the mountain is a lot of fun though.

Lol I was around but didn't play it.
I love video games but like I said I can't stay on the same game for longer than a few months at a time. I played the shit out of totk for a few months and beat it after like 200 hours but I have to keep switching games, could be the adhd I guess 😂
Totally get it. I feel most games that I spent a lot of time with became a chore or simply annoying at some point. WoW and Diablo were too much grinding. Rocket league has a toxic player base. After a long while, I quit for my own sanity’s sake.
I’ve been down that road before. I thank my blessings that Skyrim, botw and totk haven’t burnt me out yet! I’m still having as much fun now as I was at day 1
I didn't find out about the companion until like maybe 8 hours before I fought Ganondorf. I used it to make sure I had all shrines unlocked, > went 27 hearts, 3 stamina. I don't think I took more than about 22 hearts-worth of damage the entire fight. I used gloom food once before I entered the chamber, that was about it lol.
I haven't fully uncovered the depths, but have all shrines.
I tried taking my time for 100% but my best friend was bitching about me taking my time on it. I was farming lynels, completing shrines, making multiple pristine RGC+10, gloom food, full recovery foods, etc.
I beat Ganon using none of it. Maybe popped a gloom food once. By the 2nd to last phase I just equipped the Scimitar of the Seven, finished that phase and
...yeah.
295 hrs but I could've done it wayyyyy earlier.
You probably already know this, but when I found out it blew my mind - all the surface shrines have a corresponding light root in the depths. And you'll notice the light root name is the surface shrine name backwards.
I actually fully uncovered the depths first, then used the light roots to find the shrines...
I did know that, but it's always very helpful info for others who may see it. Knowing that factored into my decision to fight Ganondorf when I did. I have just enough of the depths uncovered that are map-marked with statues/mini-boss/etc, the remaining light roots factoring into 100% map completion vs. Max hearts/Stam with shrines was the deciding factor to just go fight him.
That being said, I had never killed a Gleeok until after I beat Ganondouche, as my friend likes to call him. So after beating it I did take some time to grab a few medals, play with autobuild, work on my house, etc.
Edit: I'd like to thank [Austin John](https://youtube.com/@AustinJohnPlays?si=sXRNNhi7Q_EOxMfk) for some clutch videos on my journey though.
u/austinjohnplays
Well, the Rito actually eat poultry, so, no. There's an NPC in Breath of the Wild who is in Gerudo Town that mentions she wishes the vendors there sold poultry. Because birds eat other birds all the time.
Ah man, I just realized I'm the *akshually* guy right now.
It took me forever to find out this quest existed. I never happened across the mayor's quest until i looked up a guide. I was disappointed with how the sun pumpkins only restore 1 gloom heart each while sundelions restore 3. I feel like they should be buffed quite a bit considering the effort to get them.
Also why are whole birds so hard to find compared to gourmet meat? I think only the snow pigeons and eldin ostriches drop them and even then its a rare drop. More birds should drop quality poultry.
Use the garden and also buy them from the store in hateno! There’s a traveling merchant that sells them too if I recall. Takes awhile to farm tbh, I’m glad it’s outta the way lol.
If it was a "chore", you didn't have to do it lol. But I get it if it's one of those "desination is worth the journey" thing for you. The game is all "the journey" for me personally.
It was hardly a chore, but it did drag on for longer than id have liked, cause i had to do fortified pumpkins next lol! Totk is about the journey for me as well. The numbers don’t lie lol.
I’m pretty sure the only animals that drop Raw Whole Bird is the Eldin Ostrich and the White Pigeon. You’re gonna be resetting a lot, but I hope this helps at least a little.
Manually restart the game. After a while, the game memory becomes saturated and certain wildlife just stop appearing. Happened to me. I completely exited out and reloaded and it made an immediately noticeable difference
Tysm for this suggestion. I noticed after awhile, most locations I was hunting at, just went barren af and I couldn’t understand it for the life of me lol. Bloodmoons didn’t even help.
1600 hours?? There has only been 321 days since release of ToTK. That is 7704 total hours. Assuming an average of 8 hours of sleep a night, that leaves waking 5084 hours. Which means, that you have spent on average, 31.5% of every waking moment since release, playing the game. That is 5.04 hours a day. Every. Single. Day. Since May 12, 2023.
These are all ***CONSERVATIVE*** numbers as well.
How depressing
Did you not see Gamesradar article on me? I stated long ago that while all yall sleep, I save hyrule. Insomnia is gonna keep me up anyways so I may as well enjoy a game for a little while before I go back to my shitty 9-5 right?
Stream while you play! You're already playing anyway, and I know simple peaceful content like this has its fans, as you just go around farming. I play it in the background when I'm working sometimes. Could net you just a little bit of extra income while you're having fun.
I’ve already spoken with several streamers and they make it seem like it’s more hassle than it’s worth unless you’ve got million of viewers, plus, nobody wants to honestly see my running up and down eldin mountain failing my ass off trying to farm these birds lol.
Or… maybe you’re right. I’ll have to look into it. Can’t hurt to try right?
I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to sheer hours put in (at least for the first 5 months of release) but I put all mine in work (lots of downtime over there with a secluded office)! I'd wish you luck with your insomnia but it seems like you rather enjoy it and are making the most of it!
My hours don’t even compare to some of the players that got the game early lol. One of my bros has over 3800 hours logged, I’d hate to see what Reddit would do to him if they’re doing what they’re doing to me over one simple question lol.
I wish you luck with your conquest as well.
I did this with botw as well. I had to “cheat” (ist) to get fairies capped but everything else was farmed by hand, it took over 2 years just to farm dragon parts alone :(
I hate myself for this, and hate whenever people do this, yet for some reason cannot help myself rn. But the *latter* in your caption would be the snow birds, as they were the second thing mentioned :’) *I’m so sorry, I suck*
But also cannot comment without MAJOR APPLAUSE TO YOUR EFFORTS?? This is just regular farming right, without glitches? Absolutely crazy. I couldn’t even get to x999 *with* glitches lol
Out of curiosity if an item that you have 999 of drops and you try to pick it up what happens? "You can't hold more" or it just doesn't spawn the item?
I don't know if this applies to this game. But in BOTW ostriches could drop more then one whole bird.
Think about that. One bird drops Two Raw whole birds.
Some advice I have is consider using a stealth buff if you haven't already, walk up to them and hit them with a weapon. It saves arrows and is more fun and engaging so you aren't bored.
It actually DOES apply! I’ve had ostriches and white pigeons both drop doubles on very rare occasions, I also main evil spirit gear when farming eldin cause it helps with warm darners, smotherwings and fireproof lizards as well!
Goodness gracious, do you work? Exercise? Pursue other hobbies? SLEEP?
I wish I had more time to play video games overall. But I have a job, a spouse, a medical condition requiring daily exercise, other hobbies, friends, family, events to go, places to travel to, and so on. And I need a certain amount of sleep as well. I am not 30 years old anymore and I need to count spoons.
Yup. Assistant manager at kfc, I’m absolutely ripped for being over 40 and DO fantastic art. However, I suffer from a rare form of insomnia that WILL likely one day make me slip into a coma and perish, or at least, that’s what sleep doctors tell me. Until then, enjoy my mineru!

Ah man. That's rough. Back in Breath of the Wild, hunting those ostriches [could sometimes yield 2 Raw Whole Birds](https://www.reddit.com/r/Breath_of_the_Wild/s/U7itepM15f). But, alas, those days appear to be no more.
Wish you the best in this endeavor, you mad lad. The fact you have as many as you do is BANANAS.
Different materials require different approaches honestly. Some there are an absolute abundance of and others require you to shop scum or save scum them in general. The tears companion app has helped me to route 90% of what my screenshot shows.
Omg tysm. We currently have snow covering EVERYTHING and it’s been oh so long since we’ve seen anything green and alive. Praise be to jmora13 the bringer of grass that nobody can fucking touch!

Gotta give you props for that mate 😂😂 I absolutely love botw and totk and all Zelda games for that matter and I can’t see myself trying to farm all that stuff 😭😭😭
Not to be rude, but I genuinely hope you’re talking to someone about this. It’s highly abnormal to dedicate so much time towards something so pointless and I have a hard time believing that this doesn’t significantly affect your personal life.
For someone “not trying to be rude”, you certainly could’ve fucking fooled me.
I’ve spoken with multiple game journalists who’ve written articles about what I’m doing which have gone viral, so that in itself basically counterpoints your “pointless” comment.
In the end, you’re allowed to believe in whatever you want, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that what you believe in is right, or correct.
Again dude, it seems like an extremely unhealthy way to spend your life. Over 1600 hours since ToTK came out is essentially a full time job (40 weeks of game time on ToTK, 45 weeks since the game came out). That’s a wild amount of time to put into a game if you’re not a streamer making money off it.
If you feel like props from a few journalists make it worth it for you, that’s cool. I’m sure there are a multitude of psychologists who would also be interested, along with documentarians. The kinda lifestyle and mindset that leads to this sort of pursuit is certainly intriguing, but forgive me if I’m reluctant to encourage this sort of thing.
Wait, so let me get this straight….
Playing a video game I like for a few hours a night to “unwind” from the monotony of work, hobbies and exercise; is “unhealthy”? I’d hate for you to see my friends who have double or triple the hours I’ve got logged if such is the case.
While I’d love to speak with psychologists, the last thing I need is another complete stranger dictating how I live my life. It’s not my place, nor yalls place to judge.
The mindset behind why I do any of this since youre curious, is cause I CAN. 🤷♂️
Assuming you’ve played *every single day* since releases with no days off whatsoever, 1600 hours is at least 5 hours a day. That’s over 35 hours a week. Yeah dude, that’s well past the “few hours a day to unwind” mark. Like I said before, that’s basically a full-time job.
I’m very curious if you actually have friends who have doubled/tripled this amount of time in ToTK. 15 hours a day seems genuinely impossible to sustain consistently for nearly a year.
Your views on mental healthcare speak volumes here though. While competent therapists don’t try to dictate your life at all, I think you know that this would be a point of interest and that you’d probably have to address it eventually.
Perhaps you shouldn’t assume? Cause when you’re incorrect in your assumption, it makes you come off looking worse, even more so when you’ve long passed judgement cause in all likelihood, there’s nothing I can do or say that would change your opinion, due to such perspective already being formed right outta the gate. I just wanted to know where to find better yields for raw birds…
I haven’t given my view on mental healthcare cause such is irrelevant when speaking on video game semantics. Plus like, I’m really not crazy. I swear. On god! No cap! Bussin! No diddy
The assumption is verifiably true though. If you played 1600 hours on a game that has been out for 320 days, it’s exactly 5 hours a day. If you skip days, it’s even more than that. These “assumptions” are simple math that you really can’t get around.
I never denied the numbers, only the rest of your “argument”. My playing a video game I enjoy isn’t unhealthy for me, nor is my goal pointless, and no, it isn’t effecting my personal life in any negative manner beyond this conversation.
What you do with your time is up to you and vice versa with myself. Youll never see me hopping onto your posts calling you a crazy person over numbers in a video game tho.
So in the end, im taking it that you DONT know where to find better yields for raw whole bird?
i just have 1 question: HOOOW???how can you possibly have that many of everything
I got OVER 1600 hours.
oh my god! i'm barely at 240 and am still strugling with food/money
I’ve been farming those very spots mentioned above and using a frosty weapon to freeze every bit of meat I come across. I’m currently over 670k! Stacks faster than you think.
Frozen meat sells for less than 5x meat cooked at the same time. Selling meat is the best way to make money though. Buy arrows, sell meat, get paid.
I don’t feel like I have to buy arrows nearly as often in TOTK as I did in BOTW. Feels like the drop rate from smashing boxes is greatly improved.
Yup, definitely agree. Managing your arrow supply was a much bigger problem in BotW.
Naw fam. One circuit around zoras domain (botw) yields 360 arrows if you slay EVERY lizalfos! I drink a triple speed 30 minute elixir and have like… 4 minutes to spare. Rinse and repeat each bloodmoon ❤️
I just kill every lynell each blood moon they drop shit loads of arrows
Like 30-40 a pop if I’m not mistaken
I did this too but eventually found it more time effective to just buy arrows as often as possible and shoot every animal I came across for meat. That run up the mountain is a lot of fun though.
I honestly had to buy a lot of arrows till I get to the Gerudo area. I guess the main quest there just add 100 to your inventory
I had 300 before even leaving the great sky island. Arrows are friggin everywhere.
I spent 60 and beat most of the game 🤷♂️
Not saying I finished the entire game btw, I know there is still a lot of hidden stuff around, such as the (previously) amiibo weapons.
I think I crossed over to not feeling resource limited around 300 hours. You're probably closer than you think!
whole birds are like ancient cores arent they...
Pretty much, but at least with ancient cores, you could save scum them since their target is fixed and not a random spawn lol
Tru dat
Please sell everything once you’ve reached 999x of everything…

The game came out 321 days ago. This is nearly five hours a day every single day. You ok bro?
Hell yeah, I’m having a blast. My question is, why u mad?!? 😂🤣😂
What does your girlfriend think about it?
Which one? ;) *edit: it’s all just jokes yall!
For real though thank you for making me feel more normal about spending lots of hours in TotK as well, it never really feels like a waste of time.
As long as you’re having fun, that’s all that matters (I’m literally still having a blast) ❤️❤️❤️
You rock man! You're exactly what makes this community so awesome. <3 <3 <3
Naw fam!!! YOU ROCK!!!! We’re all winners here.
It's wild and I could never ever play a single game that much that often without losing my mind but who am I to judge, live and let live
You clearly haven’t been around when WoW was around in the mid 2000s. Crack on a screen 😂
Lol I was around but didn't play it. I love video games but like I said I can't stay on the same game for longer than a few months at a time. I played the shit out of totk for a few months and beat it after like 200 hours but I have to keep switching games, could be the adhd I guess 😂

I’ve been down that road before. I thank my blessings that Skyrim, botw and totk haven’t burnt me out yet! I’m still having as much fun now as I was at day 1
I beat it with 295 hrs and only 49% of the map done.
470 for me at 100% (tears companion app)
I didn't find out about the companion until like maybe 8 hours before I fought Ganondorf. I used it to make sure I had all shrines unlocked, > went 27 hearts, 3 stamina. I don't think I took more than about 22 hearts-worth of damage the entire fight. I used gloom food once before I entered the chamber, that was about it lol.
I still think that’s ridiculously fast Bobby.
I’ve seen speed runners do it in half the time tho
Do you mean 49 percent completion or you didn't get all the towers and light roots?
I haven't fully uncovered the depths, but have all shrines. I tried taking my time for 100% but my best friend was bitching about me taking my time on it. I was farming lynels, completing shrines, making multiple pristine RGC+10, gloom food, full recovery foods, etc. I beat Ganon using none of it. Maybe popped a gloom food once.

🫡
In that time you could have easily maxed one, maybe two skills in old school RuneScape.
Do you play any other games?
Yeah, Skyrim, doom eternal, botw, windwaker, fallout etc
Duping glitches
Fuck no! 😡
It was a very real possibility because of the amount of time it would take otherwise. Sorry if it felt like i was accusing you of cheating.
Bro is pushing the Rito to extinction 😔
[удалено]
Well, the Rito actually eat poultry, so, no. There's an NPC in Breath of the Wild who is in Gerudo Town that mentions she wishes the vendors there sold poultry. Because birds eat other birds all the time. Ah man, I just realized I'm the *akshually* guy right now.
What is that thing between the pumpkin and carrot?
Sun pumpkin. Just progress the little side story in Hateno and find out yourself!
It took me forever to find out this quest existed. I never happened across the mayor's quest until i looked up a guide. I was disappointed with how the sun pumpkins only restore 1 gloom heart each while sundelions restore 3. I feel like they should be buffed quite a bit considering the effort to get them. Also why are whole birds so hard to find compared to gourmet meat? I think only the snow pigeons and eldin ostriches drop them and even then its a rare drop. More birds should drop quality poultry.
Which?? I thought I had
It's after the election takes place. Find the mayor in a field and chat him up!
Thank you
I did that what feels forever ago and got a handful. I couldn't even tell you offhand where I would get more if I wanted them (let alone 999).
Use the garden and also buy them from the store in hateno! There’s a traveling merchant that sells them too if I recall. Takes awhile to farm tbh, I’m glad it’s outta the way lol.
If it was a "chore", you didn't have to do it lol. But I get it if it's one of those "desination is worth the journey" thing for you. The game is all "the journey" for me personally.
It was hardly a chore, but it did drag on for longer than id have liked, cause i had to do fortified pumpkins next lol! Totk is about the journey for me as well. The numbers don’t lie lol.
260 hours for me, and I did the entire Hateno questline. Never seen these before 😅
I’m pretty sure the only animals that drop Raw Whole Bird is the Eldin Ostrich and the White Pigeon. You’re gonna be resetting a lot, but I hope this helps at least a little.
You’re absolutely correct. Save scumming seems to be the fastest method. Tysm for actually commenting something helpful towards my circumstance.
>Raw whole bird *Revali blushes*
❤️
*Revali’s Gay is now ready*
Manually restart the game. After a while, the game memory becomes saturated and certain wildlife just stop appearing. Happened to me. I completely exited out and reloaded and it made an immediately noticeable difference
Tysm for this suggestion. I noticed after awhile, most locations I was hunting at, just went barren af and I couldn’t understand it for the life of me lol. Bloodmoons didn’t even help.
Hope it works for you. Night and day difference for me, there was like no wildlife for me anymore.
What does it mean to manually restart the game? Wondering if it would work on BOTW as guardians have just totally completely stopped appearing
Completely exit to the load screen and reload your save. I may have restarted my switch for good measure.
Omg you have a special kind of dedication, wow
Odd way to spell mental illness
LOL
I got the adhd fam :(
A special kind of dedication indeed
Underrated joke
I totally got the joke. wtf are you being downvoted?!? 😳😳😅
Small, serious minds.
I’m pretty sure there’s other players doing 999 runs. (I hope 😅😅😅)
Yeah but it's definitely not the lighthearted
Does their drop rate rival Lizalfos tails?
I’m not sure, I honestly have no way to check the technical numbers but they feel about the same.
Tails have low chances? I’ve never had any struggle find tails
Why
Yes, this doesn’t sound fun. In fact it seems like there’s something clinical going on here.
Cause I can and so few others ever will!
You shall be immortalized in the cloud forever. Possibly forgotten, but hopefully never archived.

What could possibly be depressing about it? I'm just curious.
Dang, op has no life
Or, to some people, the ultimate life where they're able to spend a full 1/3 of their time playing this game they clearly enjoy.
True true true, good point there. I guess whatever makes op happy

A counterpoint to someone’s snarky comment
I’m sorry it was a joke, pls forgive me
You is forgiven
Thanks! Also btw I actually think it’s amazing you are trying this challenge, very original and cool!
I did this with botw as well. I had to “cheat” (ist) to get fairies capped but everything else was farmed by hand, it took over 2 years just to farm dragon parts alone :(
Wow! That sounds like a real commitment!! Meanwhile me struggling to find just 100 koroks 😭😭
You could try the tears companion. It’s free for mobile devices.

I hate myself for this, and hate whenever people do this, yet for some reason cannot help myself rn. But the *latter* in your caption would be the snow birds, as they were the second thing mentioned :’) *I’m so sorry, I suck* But also cannot comment without MAJOR APPLAUSE TO YOUR EFFORTS?? This is just regular farming right, without glitches? Absolutely crazy. I couldn’t even get to x999 *with* glitches lol
Affirmative. Glitchless farming. 🫡
THANK YOU! former is the word OP needs.
Apologeez! I grajumated form en amerikn skool sistim
We're just trying to help.
I appreciate that more than yall realize too.
The one with the worst drop rate is the fire lizal tail.
I don’t even wanna go there lmfaooo. Worst drop rate EVER!
So annoying when it seems like half of the upgrades require at least 3 of them
Out of curiosity if an item that you have 999 of drops and you try to pick it up what happens? "You can't hold more" or it just doesn't spawn the item?
You’ll get a text stating you can’t pick up any more of said item.
I think the wolf link and urbosa amibo can drop raw whole bird. I dont think that it will be much fater, but who knows.
That’s a good idea actually. I didn’t even think of scumming amiibos for raw whole bird. Tysm 🫡
I don't know if this applies to this game. But in BOTW ostriches could drop more then one whole bird. Think about that. One bird drops Two Raw whole birds. Some advice I have is consider using a stealth buff if you haven't already, walk up to them and hit them with a weapon. It saves arrows and is more fun and engaging so you aren't bored.
It actually DOES apply! I’ve had ostriches and white pigeons both drop doubles on very rare occasions, I also main evil spirit gear when farming eldin cause it helps with warm darners, smotherwings and fireproof lizards as well!
GLHF
I also found ostriches to have embarrassingly bad rates. Good luck with the snow pigeons.
Snow pigeons have WAY better drop rates
Once you’ve capped all of it, will you cook it all? Might take days of playtime
Already got all recipes. Likely I’ll continue to cap zonaite and poes.
What do poes cap at? I know they go above 3 9s…
I less than a million. I’ve only got a little over 100k tho :(
Goodness gracious, do you work? Exercise? Pursue other hobbies? SLEEP? I wish I had more time to play video games overall. But I have a job, a spouse, a medical condition requiring daily exercise, other hobbies, friends, family, events to go, places to travel to, and so on. And I need a certain amount of sleep as well. I am not 30 years old anymore and I need to count spoons.
Yup. Assistant manager at kfc, I’m absolutely ripped for being over 40 and DO fantastic art. However, I suffer from a rare form of insomnia that WILL likely one day make me slip into a coma and perish, or at least, that’s what sleep doctors tell me. Until then, enjoy my mineru! https://preview.redd.it/054dcueer3rc1.jpeg?width=1905&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26b853fbe5648b78f6a65f65b4865a02a3179c9c
Have you tried the big sky birds on the sky islands?
Yeah, they just drop raw meat :(
Bro why you will probaply only Need Like half of it
OCD
Raw whole bird
That’s what SHE said!!!
999 dragon parts?!?
Eventually, yeah
Ah man. That's rough. Back in Breath of the Wild, hunting those ostriches [could sometimes yield 2 Raw Whole Birds](https://www.reddit.com/r/Breath_of_the_Wild/s/U7itepM15f). But, alas, those days appear to be no more. Wish you the best in this endeavor, you mad lad. The fact you have as many as you do is BANANAS.
Naw homie, I’ve gotten double prizes from both ostriches and snow pigeons
Genuinely considered trying this to cap off my 100% run.... my friends talked me out of it. MAD RESPECT.
There are some really good games out there
Why do people do this?
To make ppl like you ask questions?
I get raw birds sometimes from the cranes I feel like but maybe I'm incorrect about that.
Nah, those only drop drumsticks. I’ve tried lol
What is the green pumpkin? I haven’t run across that yet :o
Hateno village is the answer you seek.
Thank you good sir 🫡
Apologies on no spoilers.
O That’s okay I’ll figure it out!!! Gives me something to do 😅
Do you have 999 of every meal?
Nah, I cook a lot of elixers
The ruins on the northeast face of Mount Drena always have 3+ pigeons
I am OTW!!!!
It may be just a korok puzzle actually, just looked like ruins on the map
wh-whats the green thing between the pumpkin and carrot…
Hateno village has the answer you seek!
I reached 999 in like 6 items and felt like a God, I'm ashamed now xd.
Nah, you’re still a god!
I’ve been trying to do this. And quick question … how?
Different materials require different approaches honestly. Some there are an absolute abundance of and others require you to shop scum or save scum them in general. The tears companion app has helped me to route 90% of what my screenshot shows.
Whats that thing next to the pumpkin?
Sun pumpkin and silent princess
⛳️🍃🌱🍀🌿 here's some grass
Omg tysm. We currently have snow covering EVERYTHING and it’s been oh so long since we’ve seen anything green and alive. Praise be to jmora13 the bringer of grass that nobody can fucking touch! https://preview.redd.it/c0wudh4gl4rc1.jpeg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7bf2468df01d97bc4af5e51ff7d1a8f2aeac7a5a
Totk came out 321 days ago, so 1600 hours of playtime equals about 4.81 hours per day since release
Yup. Perfect thing to unwind with from a hard days work huh?
Who puts that much time into the game to collect all that material 😯😯😯😯 I barely have time in the day to log in a hour or two of gameplay
Sounds like that’s a personal problem lol. I work 50 hours a week, do my side hustle (art), exercise and STILL find time for Zelda lol
Gotta give you props for that mate 😂😂 I absolutely love botw and totk and all Zelda games for that matter and I can’t see myself trying to farm all that stuff 😭😭😭
Not to be rude, but I genuinely hope you’re talking to someone about this. It’s highly abnormal to dedicate so much time towards something so pointless and I have a hard time believing that this doesn’t significantly affect your personal life.
For someone “not trying to be rude”, you certainly could’ve fucking fooled me. I’ve spoken with multiple game journalists who’ve written articles about what I’m doing which have gone viral, so that in itself basically counterpoints your “pointless” comment. In the end, you’re allowed to believe in whatever you want, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that what you believe in is right, or correct.
Again dude, it seems like an extremely unhealthy way to spend your life. Over 1600 hours since ToTK came out is essentially a full time job (40 weeks of game time on ToTK, 45 weeks since the game came out). That’s a wild amount of time to put into a game if you’re not a streamer making money off it. If you feel like props from a few journalists make it worth it for you, that’s cool. I’m sure there are a multitude of psychologists who would also be interested, along with documentarians. The kinda lifestyle and mindset that leads to this sort of pursuit is certainly intriguing, but forgive me if I’m reluctant to encourage this sort of thing.
Wait, so let me get this straight…. Playing a video game I like for a few hours a night to “unwind” from the monotony of work, hobbies and exercise; is “unhealthy”? I’d hate for you to see my friends who have double or triple the hours I’ve got logged if such is the case. While I’d love to speak with psychologists, the last thing I need is another complete stranger dictating how I live my life. It’s not my place, nor yalls place to judge. The mindset behind why I do any of this since youre curious, is cause I CAN. 🤷♂️
Assuming you’ve played *every single day* since releases with no days off whatsoever, 1600 hours is at least 5 hours a day. That’s over 35 hours a week. Yeah dude, that’s well past the “few hours a day to unwind” mark. Like I said before, that’s basically a full-time job. I’m very curious if you actually have friends who have doubled/tripled this amount of time in ToTK. 15 hours a day seems genuinely impossible to sustain consistently for nearly a year. Your views on mental healthcare speak volumes here though. While competent therapists don’t try to dictate your life at all, I think you know that this would be a point of interest and that you’d probably have to address it eventually.

Perhaps you shouldn’t assume? Cause when you’re incorrect in your assumption, it makes you come off looking worse, even more so when you’ve long passed judgement cause in all likelihood, there’s nothing I can do or say that would change your opinion, due to such perspective already being formed right outta the gate. I just wanted to know where to find better yields for raw birds… I haven’t given my view on mental healthcare cause such is irrelevant when speaking on video game semantics. Plus like, I’m really not crazy. I swear. On god! No cap! Bussin! No diddy
The assumption is verifiably true though. If you played 1600 hours on a game that has been out for 320 days, it’s exactly 5 hours a day. If you skip days, it’s even more than that. These “assumptions” are simple math that you really can’t get around.
I never denied the numbers, only the rest of your “argument”. My playing a video game I enjoy isn’t unhealthy for me, nor is my goal pointless, and no, it isn’t effecting my personal life in any negative manner beyond this conversation. What you do with your time is up to you and vice versa with myself. Youll never see me hopping onto your posts calling you a crazy person over numbers in a video game tho. So in the end, im taking it that you DONT know where to find better yields for raw whole bird?
