I’m kind of bummed about this, the game already has a ton of content but BoTW had some great challenging DLC and ToTK would have definitely benefitted from something similar.

    I milked the shit out of BotW, explored every inch of Hyrule, did all the sidequests, upgraded all the armor, etc. Meanwhile, I delayed progressing the main story for months.

    Same thing I did and it completely ruined the first phase of the final boss. The divine beasts took half his health and then I had fully upgraded ancient armor, +++ attack meals, and an inventory full of ancient weapons. He was dead in like 10 hits.

      Lol the Ganon fight was terrible from start to finish. If felt so anticlimactic, especially the final phase with the giant beast. I also remember farming dragon horns to stock up on the mighty dishes for the big attack boost, only to find I didn’t need them at all. It was definitely more challenging the second time around fighting him without completing the divine beasts first, but yeah, would’ve been better if beating them provided some other kind of buff. I never finished the game in master mode (last I remember I was struggling to beat the rogue shrine monk or whatever from the DLC), so I’m not sure if the regenerative health thing made it any more difficult.
