Hack of the Week for Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Hack of the Week

Playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild? Here some tips to make your journey through Hyrule a little easier.

Money

Sell your gems.
Cook and Sell Food (some sell for 490 rupee a skewer).
Kill Guardians! It takes some skill but the rewards are worthwhile.
Use Your Amiibo for fun surprises.
Gamble in Lurlin Village.

Attacks

Learning to jump and stop time to fire an arrow is a core mechanic. I defeated Vah Ruta, the Elephant Divine Beast, without knowing how to do that. It makes many battles a lot easier.
You can drop bombs when using the parasail, like your own personal airstrike. I love that.
You can use your shield to deflect shots right back at enemies, kinda like hitting a baseball back at a pitcher.
You can cut off the legs of guardians if you have a strong enough weapon.
Elemental weapons (fire, ice) offset environmental effects like cold and heat. You can even use fire weapons to melt giant ice formations in the mountains.

Bonus Tip: If you go to the main screen and select your profile you can see how many hours you have played Zelda. As of the time of this writing I am at 52 hours… No judgment!

What are your favorite The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Hacks?

The Nintendo Switch Has Arrived at GameTruck!

Nintendo has released a new console called Nintendo Switch, and we are beyond excited about it. We are mostly excited because GameTruck is now offering Nintendo Switch along with our other gaming features.
But what is Nintendo Switch? It is a new home console with a portable twist. You can play using the single player option that is similar to Nintendo’s Wii U console. You can also switch over to multiplayer mode. The screen and Joy-Con controller combo turns into two Joy-Con controllers for splitscreen multiplayer fun.

We’re not only excited about the console release, but the new games that we are offering. Let’s check them out!

1-2-Switch

1-2-Switch is a game of mini-games that encourages you to engage eye to eye with your friends, rather than on the screen. There are three different modes to play: the normal mode which has no restrictions, shuffle mode which randomly cycles through the minigames, and lastly, there is team battle mode which allows you to battle on teams of two.
There are 28 mini games within 1-2 Switch. One of our favorites is called Quick Draw, a Western-style showdown where you have to beat your opponent to the draw. Another favorite is Samurai Training where players take turns slashing and catching a sword above their head.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

In the story, Link is destined to defeat the villain, The Calamity Ganon, before he gains too much power and destroys the kingdom of Hyrule.
In the game, you play as the character Link in the open world of Hyrule, meaning you can explore the game freely. There is little instruction, unlike previous Legend of Zelda games. The game is set up for more player involvement, decision making, and experimentation. Players can control Link by climbing, collecting items and weapons, and eating food to gain health.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Everyone at some point has played Mario Kart with all our friends. This game is a new and improved version of the popular Wii U game. There are new battle modes like Balloon Battle and Bob-omb Blast, and returning modes like Shine Thief. The game includes all of the previous versions’ downloadable content, as well as new courses and vehicles for players to choose from. lNew courses and vehicles are available for players to choose from as well.
