I asked Holliday about his farming routes and the hardest items to acquire. He notes that hearty versions of items are “by far the most tedious,” though the real sticking points are fairies and King’s Scales since they have lower innate soft caps which clash with the all-999 dream.
“The hardest material to gather for me would be stealthfin trout,” he adds. “They have two locations in-game which yield around five if you’re lucky, and most of the time I absolutely forget they even exist.”
With over 1,500 hours put into the game and some 1,100 hours of that being post-100% completion, how long will it take Holliday to reach his goal of filling Link’s inventory to its absolute limit? By his estimation, potentially years.
“I honestly have no clue, as it took me years to cap everything in BOTW alone, so I assume Tears would take significantly longer due to having 251 uniques on top of all other 100% qualifiers,” he says. Best of luck, goro.
Zelda leads said they were blown away by what Tears of the Kingdom players made with Ultrahand: “It’s beyond even the development team’s imagination.” I have to imagine Holliday’s quest would impress them, too.
