Same! The worst thing about Breath of the Wild - an otherwise objectively wonderful game - is all the parrying you have to do to fight all those guardians. I hate it.

Same. Link is a good fighter. Why is he being punished for my terrible reflexes? 😂

I have managed to never parry anything in BotW or Tears. Generally, it's bombs for the Guardians.

Wait, that's not true. There are the training temples where parrying is required. I struggled mightily.

I think I eventually gave up on those shrines 😆

Oh same here. The ones harder than a Minor Test of Strength, at least.

I feel so much better that it is all of us. Somebody should let Nintendo know.

They'd probably be proud.

Yes, but they could also leave parrying out of the next Zelda. Same frustration for all of us.

They kind of did? Mostly? In Echoes of Wisdom you mostly have your echoes do all the fighting for you.

What was your favorite echo? Mine was bed 😆

Ohh, so many of them were good... of the non-combat echoes, I agree about bed, although water block is also fantastic, but for combat I have a soft spot for the peahat and bombfish. Later on the level 3 sword moblin is also great.

Haaaaaates those.

Yep. Such a pain. They want just one parry and I can NEVER do it.

I've heard that a TV may add visual lag due to performing video post-processing that makes parrying and other reflex based tasks in video games harder. There might be a "game mode" or other TV setting that disables that function that may somewhat ease such a parry challenge.

yeah I play exclusively on my Switch. I'm a relatively new gamer, this is all on me.
