Thanks!! Fine-tuning the special effects is always the toughest part tbh. For this one it was over an hour balancing all the different effects to try not to make any too overwhelming!

This is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I also think Tears is a 7/10 tbh. It's good for sure, Ultrahand/Fuse/Ascend are extremely impressive, but the story is the weakest in any Zelda game imo. As someone who 100%'d it it just felt like BOTW 1.5, Hyrule wasn't different enough in Tears

Yeah exactly! This is actually a glitch, this phase of the battle is not supposed to have any missing pieces of the track. I think I must've messed up the event flag timing or something bc out of my 100 attempts, this is the only time that happened

Yeah I agree! I actually just now got the gold after hours and hours of grinding. So much can go wrong in phase 3. I feel very fulfilled at having won but it also feels like I just got done serving a life sentence in hell at the same time somehow lol

As if the boss isn't difficult enough, the game on Switch 2 picks a random time to drop to 30 fps for the rest of the battle, which makes weak points much harder to hit. :(
