Stop the fight, it’s over
Although we’ve seen plenty ofZelda: Breath of the Wildstyle videos, this particular clipfrom Redditor DuplexLinkreally caught my eye because of how badly thisZeldaGuardian is bested. Simply titled “I remember when I was scared of guardians…pathetic,” it gets the point across.
There’s a lot going on here, most notably the use of basically every Champion power, as well as some quick weapon swapping to give the beat down more variety. It pretty much combines all of the staples, including theZeldaGuardian flip, which is followed up by an aerial rave straight out of an anime fight scene. Naturally, at the end, there’s the slow explosion walk.
Remember when aZeldaGuardian seemed unstoppable?
You know what, most of usdo rememberwhen we were scared of Guardians! In fact the timing is serendipitous, aswe just explored that collective memory last week. It’s so easy to recall venturing off the plateau and into Hyrule Field, getting laser-beamed to death for the first time by those relentless cursed machines.
Plus, it’s hilarious playing throughAge of Calamityand cutting through them like butter on the battlefield (or playing as one!). Our perception of Guardians has changed over time, but the fact remains that they’re still incredibly memorable, and one of the most unique character designs to date for the series.
