RESCUING ROYALTY

 

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD - https://youtu.be/at4TeY4QIIM

 

This is a lot more stressful on first playthrough.

This is actually only my third playthrough of the game: the first was on Wii, as a child, with the Prima guide, and the second was on WiiU, in college. I find it fitting to play it once again nearly a decade later. However, the only real frustration I have is when things that have historically gone well for me suddenly do not, such as with the horseback combat section earlier. Meanwhile, Telma's escort mission is really easy, so long as you have enough arrows and know the Gale Boomerang puts out fire. (And enemies drop arrows if you start to run low.) The enemies target the cart more than they do Link, so you're far more liable to lose if the cart burns too much, but the Gale Boomerang heals it by about half its health in one throw and ZL-targeting is so handy that you never have to take the time to aim anything. Just hit the button until you have the right target, and eventually you'll get there. The Kargorok with the bomb is a little hard to target in the original short window, but on second try (or later) it has a huge window to smack it with an arrow.

As for the other things in the video, Twilight Princess, like many Zelda games, has a whole lot you can do after each dungeon or similar section. The Twilight locks away western Hyrule entirely until now, but now we have access to several minigames. One gives a lot of rupees so I'll be putting it off, but the rest can give you handy items if you do well enough. That, and there are a few spots scattered about with short challenges for heart pieces.
