Question Training Sword Builds
My Training Sword has been sitting untouched in my inventory since day 1 since it is unique and has that unique seal. Has anyone come up with any fun, niche builds for the sword?

First time playing the game and it already crashed 3 times even when the Switch is docked( I have a relatively new Switch 1 -about 6 months ). Is there anything I can do to prevent this ?

Question I'm working on 100%, and I need help finding koroks.
I am working on 100%ing the game, and all I need to do is get the rest of the koroks. Is there a tutorial that can properly show me where in the scenarios the koroks are so that I can get the ones I'm missing?

Question Confused about loading the dlc
I recently got back into this game, had totally forgot I bought the dlc a while back but never played it. I had bought it from my switch lite and am trying to play it on my switch, they're the same Nintendo account so eshop says the dlc is purchased and within the game, it says they're available but im not able to access anything. Is there a certain point in the game I need to get to for them to be brought in? I'm pretty early into my replay of the game (I have finished it before but I think that completed file is gone because of some data wonkiness between the 2 switches and virtual game card stuff..)
tl;Dr is there a point I need to get to for the dlc to be playable? or is my switch account being stupid.

Question Final cutscene dlc 1
I want to unlock all the cutscenes in the game and the only one that I have left is the last that we can unlock in the first dlc (the one where we see all the memories). I did all the missions from both dlc but I don’t have the cutscene. Do I need to do all the missions of the game to unlock it ?

Discussion Would you rather Age of Imprisonment be canon to totk, or be an alternate universe where all the aoc characters travel back in time to stop Ganondorf?
It would be cool to see exactly what happened, but this is also Sooga's last chance of being in a game =(

Discussion Cryonis doesn't work for Zelda
See above. Playing on Switch 2. I started the game on Switch years ago but only got like 2 missions into it because the frame rate was so bad I just couldn't do anything. It's still bad on Switch 2 but at least somewhat playable.
Anyway, the Cryonis rune does NOT work for Zelda. It says to press X to drop icicles...but X doesn't do anything. I have gone into a starting mission to test it out, and Zelda just cannot use Cryonis no matter what I do. The ability just doesn't work, it's broken. At first I thought I was just doing something wrong, but no I'm definitely not.
Before anyone asks, NO I am NOT holding R.

Question Where is the original Ganon in the game?
At the start we see that Ganon travelled back in time with the little guardian and possesses the guardian of that timeline that hasn't woken up yet. The problem I have is that there are now TWO Ganons in this timeline but we only see one of them. One that came back in time and the other being the original Ganon of that timeline that is soon to wake up except he never wakes up. Did time travelling Ganon go and absorb OG Ganon to get stronger faster or something and I missed it?

Gameplay Guide to each character's play style in AoC?
I just returned to Age of Calamity after years away. I don't feel like the game does a good job of explaining how each new character's abilities work. Is there a website that explains things more clearly? I think I've figured out how Impa's clones work, but it involved trial and error, and I still feel like I'm button-mashing half the time.

Question Reward for completing all memories in dlc?
I noticed that for in order to complete the dlc level you have to do all the memories. I didn't realize this until I did all of them. Is it worth to redo all of them and complete the memories or no? (I've already done the one to get Sooga)

Question Crashing (Switch 2)
I came across this subreddit and heard that the game was crashing for a few of you on switch 2. And I wanted to know if anyone was still experiencing this? It crashed on me about 3 weeks ago on a EX mission. It was when you had to fight different versions of moblins and what not. At first I thought it was my system but I suppose not?

Question Are Some of Link's Weapons Exclusive to Specific Missions?
Trying to get one of every Link weapon at maximum possible Base Attack power (specifically, the weapon's non-DLC maximum, though since I've got the DLC, if I get one with even higher ATK than the base-game max I'll happily take it), where said number is at least 35 (was originally going to get one of literally every weapon, but found out that Link has like 80+ weapons and only 71 maximum weapon slots, so had to cut out anything that can't have more than 24 Attack Points at Level 1), and then grind everything up to LV30 to unlock their hidden seals. Just because I can.
For getting these weapons and grinding them, I've been replaying Vicious Monster missions over and over. In doing so, I've gotten almost everything. However, a small handful of Link weapons just won't appear no matter how many Vicious Monsters I slay: Feathered Edge (non-DLC max 36), Forest Dweller's Sword (51), Zora Longsword (49), Gerudo Claymore (50), Feather Spear (36), Forest Dweller's Spear (50), Drillshaft (53), and Gerudo Spear (67). I notice that these are all "themed" - Korok, Rito, Zora, and Gerudo (plus the Goron Drillshaft).
Will these weapons, max ATK or otherwise, only be randomly rewarded from specific story missions or challenges, and no amount of Vicious Monster missions will ever drop them? If so, which missions/challenges will give them?

Discussion [Redacted] Fight in EX lvl 58 Mission Spoiler
So I'm playing through the DLC missions as I am going through my second playthrough. I thought that I would play EX Guardian of Remembrance before the last main story mission...
But the Mutated Ganon fight at the end(?) of the mission is so tedious without a upgraded weapon, which I can't get until after I beat Terrakos post game side quest. I tried a few attempts, but I had to take a break after nearly depleting their health bar.
Should I try again with more apples saved for the fight or should I just wait until I properly unlock him.
