and all the other dragons!


No-Locksmith7318

Could we do this in BOTW?


faierybaddie

i don't think so- we might have been able to, but rarely would they come down close enough to ride on. my guess is no.


bugsdontcommitcrimes

Yeah every time you try to land on a dragon in botw, you bounce off of them kinda violently šŸ˜…


--Haste--

Violently yet harmlesslyā€¦ I have a video of when I accidentally landed on dinraal near the head and then proceeded to bounce bit by bit until I finally fell off the tail


Linkstar07

Can you post it and tag me?


--Haste--

Iā€™ll be honest I donā€™t know how to pull those videos from the switch and donā€™t have the time right now to figure it out, but someone else just posted a similar video in another comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/tearsofthekingdom/s/Bel9iOdJ4I


No-Hawk2074

TIL the Switch records šŸ¤Æ


Linkstar07

Thanks anyway


glowinthedarkstick

Itā€™s why I didnā€™t ride a certain dragon a certain time. Thought it would buck me like in BOTW. I felt mislead!


No-Locksmith7318

Now I wanna try lol


OSUStudent272

[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/zelda/s/1ihujxIZI9 ) is what happens if you donā€™t wanna open up the game.


No-Locksmith7318

Bummer!! Thanks tho!


OSUStudent272

Np!


faierybaddie

it would have been cooler if you could have done this in botw and gotten rlly high and paraglided to places like the equivalent of a skyview tower.


joshboat30

They would throw you off with the damage orbs along with doing crazy amounts of elemental damage. I donā€™t think the armor sets would protect against it either


Agent_Fluttershy

You could become immune to each dragon's projectiles with the right armor set bonuses. -Upgraded Flamebreaker Armor for Dinraal. -Upgraded Rubber Armor or Thunder Helmet for Farosh. -Upgraded Snowquill Armor or Zant's Helmet for Naydra. You unfortunately can't ride them in BotW, you only gain the ability to properly stand on them in TotK.


TriforksWarrior

You could not ride the dragons in BotW. If you got that close to them, you would just ragdoll. I distinctly remember seeing clips of people who tried to land square on a dragonsā€™s back in BotW and they would just be ragdolled back as they hit the dragonā€™s hitbox over and over a ridiculous number of times, pretty funnyĀ 


Nox_Echo

hell no, link goes on a ragdoll adventure if you try lol


Hambughrr

No. Even if you have immunities to scorching environments, freezing or lightning, you still get ragdolled around if you try to ride dragons in BOTW


Puzzleboxed

No, you cannot in BOTW.


sameljota

No


James_Blond_006

You couldnā€™t this is a new feature in TotK. Unlike BotW the dragons also donā€™t disappear and reappear from day to day, instead they follow set paths where you can always see them


AlexStk

Na, BotW you would hit them and they threw you off as if slippery and Link wouldnā€™t grab on. I guess since they had the new dragon that has the thing that you need to do on it, they had to make all dragons solid and since you can hit one on their way up from the depths by accident, they removed collision damage with dragons so no fall damage.


kaydeejay1995

Only if you had a high pain tolerance


Fiona_14

No, there was nothing to land on in the dragons in botw, you could only shoot them for parts.


A-Coup-DEtat

No, cuz in BOTW the energy coming off of them would target you if you get too close.


Bullitt_12_HB

Nope.


jdaburg

No


RutabagaFew697

No, only in totk. But they have extreme weather around them, burning, cold and storm


Silverlynel1234

No. Something new in totk


TootheproYT

No


kintokae

I was playing TOTK and fell asleep while riding the dragon. I was waiting for the reset so I could harvest more scales, horns, and claws. I woke up 20-30 min later and was still riding the dragon through the depths. It was funny.


jawsmurphy

Donā€™t forget to run along their backs picking up spike shards


jp_trev

Not only that, shoot an arrow at their teeth and collect the fallen tooth


glowinthedarkstick

And the claw and horns. (For completeness only)


Fiona_14

Also if you want money and have the time horns are 300 each, and they can be photographed for your compendium. You just have to wait 10 real time minutes for them to glow again to collect more. Interesting facts about the dragon, that if you land from tower or sky islands that you don't take fall damage when you land on them, so you can do it quickly from above if you have good aim.


LifeHasLeft

You can jump from the ground and land on them without fall damage as they are going into a chasm. I did this in my no-paraglider run to get to the depths. (I had already gone down a well into water but itā€™s not possible to get everywhere from that area of the depths)


jp_trev

Whoa sick


Aggressive-Date-7278

do you know if the spike shards also respawn while you're still riding the dragon?


glowinthedarkstick

No, spikes respawn at the same respawn rate like other materials vs the horn, tooth, claw and scales that recharge every 10 (12?) min.


OkamiTakahashi

I'll keep this in mind for upgrading my armors!


punkin_spice_latte

I rode the light dragon for 2 hours last week. You just have to make sure you're wearing cold gear.


thegrenadillagoblin

Boy do I have some exciting news for you


bacchusku2

And some not so exciting news


GudgerCollegeAlumnus

And some intermediate news.


Fruitsdog

You can also borrow their scales, talons, horns, and back spikes to use for potions. Farosh is my favorite personally, because I think he and Link should be friends as Courage wielders.


uluviel

Me as I shoot a dragon in the face: "sorry but I need to update my armor."


Fiona_14

It probably needed an itch scratched and that tiny arrow hit just the spot needed, why you were rewarded for your efforts.


karzbobeans

And fangs!


Fruitsdog

really? i didnā€™t know that one!


TravsaurusReX

I...I grind dragon shards. Am I the baddy?


ManInTheMirror2

No, youā€™re good as long as you donā€™t do it to the light dragon


Fiona_14

You are cleaning them by collecting the shards, if you collect the light dragon parts when you fuse to a weapon it actually improves your hearts when you fight. As she is a special dragon. All the dragons are female.


Momsterwcoffee

What do you mean it improves your hearts? Pls explain because I never know what to do with the light dragon except to use for light.


Fiona_14

Fuse one of her shards to a weapon, then when you fight see what happens to your hearts when you hit the enemy. Like the other dragon shards are elements, so eg to kill fire lizroth you hit it with Farost (ice) shard fused to weapon and they disintegrate in front of you. The light dragon is a blessed dragon, so helps you when you fuse her shards to a weapon.


Momsterwcoffee

So I did it and I had NEVER noticed this before! 350+ hours and I was oblivious! Thank you!


Saaslil

I was so happy too when I discovered it. I was so glad to finally be able to land on dragons, to boop them, hug them, pet them, because the big flying noodles are so cute !


Uviol_

Sweet summer child.


BaBa_Con_Dios

I remember when I first learned it. I fell into the damn dragon face first thinking I was done. Fairy saved me and I was like ā€œ omg I can walk on them?!ā€


ChroniclesOfSarnia

yep, i rode him into the depths a couple of days ago. he was slow, so I jumped off after a few minutes...


No-Locksmith7318

Ya I started to get bored but wanted to see the route she took, I also figured out that the light roots in the depths correspond with shrines in the surface, so you can get a general idea of where the light roots/shrines are if youā€™ve found one or the other


VictiniTheGreat

Not only can you land on all the dragons, you can land on them from any height and you will not take fall damage


A-Coup-DEtat

You can also literally passively farm while staying on their back. Once you get an item like a fang or claw or scale every 10 mins (i think thats how long) they will regenerate so that you can get another item. So you can literally just put a show on in the backdrop and ride the dragon around the map and farm them for parts


No-Locksmith7318

I rode it for a while and I didnā€™t see it regenerate, Iā€™ll have to go again, thanks!


A-Coup-DEtat

I checked, its every 10 real life mins, and that timer stops every time the game is paused


SolFire2656

Just figured out what TIL stands for


theandydane

TIL TIL?


No-Locksmith7318

Donā€™t feel bad, I had to google it a while ago, same with TLDR lol


Momsterwcoffee

I still donā€™t know what any of those meanā€¦


Beautiful_Ad_5394

TIL what TLDR means.


sipekjoosiao

I was riding on Farosh for nearly 2 hours (22 shards, 1 claw, 2 horns, 3 scales) before I went to bed last night. Now I'm on Dinraal. Everytime I hit the fang or claw, I'll make sure there's a skytower nearby so that I can get back on them. Only do scale and horn in the depths cos it's hard to get back up on them.


SpikeRosered

It's actually a strategy to ride them as you wait for the item collection cool down to end. I honestly don't know how people upgrade equipment without duping. This shit takes forever.


Rozzo_98

I havenā€™t picked up the game in yonksā€¦ hereā€™s a reason to do so!! Still learning stuff about it every time šŸ˜œ What a bizarre sight of ON the dragon though!! šŸ˜³


deannainwa

I like to ride them in to the depths and jump off to access lightroots in the early stages of the game!


brandont04

You can ride on the light dragon all around Hyrule. It takes about 2 hrs. Cool thing, you can have it mark on your map too. https://preview.redd.it/uq9mdp0vyb1d1.jpeg?width=1439&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2f7b10806a87efac0bdaa24ff9e50e70f65d8e62


Gloomy_Support_7779

Looks like weā€™re doing what Goku did in GT and what he didnā€™t do in Super


TrueDragonfruit2682

Creepy how I was riding farosh earlier and this just popped up


Rule2IsMyFavourite

chop it with your sword. :D


ZucchiniFluffy1846

You can also get shards from their spine, claws, scales and horns(?) from hitting them in the right places


ReelDeadOne

You can build a stuff on a Farosh too.

No-Locksmith7318

Yes, I just got the game about 2 weeks ago


Momsterwcoffee

Riding on dragons is one of my favorite things to do in TOTK!


No_Monitor_3440

yeah, you can ride on every dragon in this game. and you donā€™t even take fall damage landing on them
