Because “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” is just a month old, gamers have yet to discover tips and tricks of the video game that was launched on March 3 together with the Nintendo Switch. One tip that a gaming website shared is how to ride the dangerous Guardians that are scattered throughout the game. The Guardians are a group of mechanical enemies that share a similar design and are products of the ancient technology of the Sheikah tribe.

Ancient Guardian Key. GameSpot notes that several animals on “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” are easy to mount. The trick is just to sneak up on the animals, which includes Bears and Stags. But to ride the Guardians, there is more preparation required as well as a very special item.

The player of “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” must have the Ancient Guardian Key in possession before approaching the enemy. To create the key, the gamer must distill the Power, Wisdom, and Courage of Dinraal, Naydra, and Farosh, the three powerful dragons. Once the player holds the key, he would receive the new “Enter” command prompt that is a signal to mount the Guardian.

How To Have A Clean Weapon. Although the key to mounting the Guardian has been revealed, the enemy’s destructive power is still a well-kept secret of “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” not yet discovered by GameSpot. Besides the key, IGN has also discovered 100 small things in the game that it shared to players. Leading the list is that the Octoroks would suck up a rusty weapon thrown at it, and it would spit out a new and cleaned weapon.

Meanwhile, Polygon’s tip for “The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild” players is how to acquire a Hylian Shield. It is actually easy to enter the Hyrule Castle’s prison basement which is where the shield is hidden, but the area is surrounded by danger at every turn. The best way to break into the castle is to enter its southwest corner, travel from Central or Ridgeland tower until the player reaches a bridge and a very small piece of land at the water’s edge. Follow the track for a mine cart, glide, swim, and climb to the ridge until the three barrels are reached. Finally, enter the tunnel to the end of the mine cart track, place a bomb behind the cart, hop in, detonate the bomb, and repeat the process to ride the cart to the opposite end.
