![]() ![]() The archers themselves also frequently drop all types of arrows (except Ancient Arrows) if you can beat them, making them a nice source of the more powerful arrow types. As well as this, many bridges and tall cliff areas are now guarded by floating platforms manned by enemy archers in Master Mode, many of which also carrying treasure chests that have a high chance of containing a weapon with a modifier. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Master Mode (as part of the first DLC pack) makes weapons with bonus modifiers (such as increased attack strength, durability, throwing range, etc.) more likely to appear early on than they might in Normal Mode.You also carry over your collected materials and insects, making upgrading your items easier. Hero Mode in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword doubles the amount of damage enemies do to you, halves the amount you do to them and makes it so that hearts no longer randomly appear, but the Skyward Strike starts off at full strength, meaning it charges up quickly and does about as much damage as a swing from the fully-powered sword and once you get the actual fully-powered sword, it charges up literally instantly.So, during Three-Heart Runs the normally infamously most difficult miniboss in the game becomes among one of the easiest. ![]() Dark Link in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time has the same amount of health as you do.Castlevania The Adventure Rebirth on Classic mode gives you the classical stiff jump physics, but it also removes the knife and stopwatch, two of the least effective subweapons in the game, so you always get one of the "big three" subweapons (Axe, Cross, and Holy Water).In addition, beating the Hard difficulty with a level 1 cap gets you the best helmet in the game that halves heart consumption and raises the normal level cap to 255 (your level carries over through even the lower cap Hard runs and any experience you earned during them carries over). In Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, starting a fresh game in Hard Mode gives you the Glyph Sleeve accessory (which allows you to store three glylph combinations to switch on the fly instead of using the Pause menu) right away instead of somewhere mid-game, as well as several glyph-dropping enemies who normally won't appear until later in the game.Since Expert mode is a bit more challenging but lacks anything in the way of Fake Difficulty, it's essentially an extended New Game Plus edition, as it's not available by default and you have to unlock it, either by beating the game on Normal or by using the Konami Code at the title screen. Castlevania: Bloodlines adds on a brief extra scene to the endings after Castle Dracula is destroyed, and also unlocks new areas and even a few extra boss battles (including a whip-wielding Frankenstein's Monster) not seen on Easy or Normal modes.In both Aria/Dawn and Portrait there are certain items that are only seen in hard mode - if you're playing on normal their map locations will be bare.However, treasure chests will provide much better equipment. Upon defeating Dracula for the first time, it's possible to play in the Hard version of the levels, in which enemies inflict much more damage, are faster and have drastically increased HP, as well as placing more enemies on the maps and making the hazards considerably harder to avoid. In Castlevania: Harmony of Despair, the players rely mostly on equipment found during the levels in order to power up the characters.Most Castlevania games have a version of this.All those extra critical hits make a normally hard final dungeon much easier than it has any right to be. ![]() until you reach the Very Definitely Final Dungeon where you're not allowed to sleep at all and the L-Quilt becomes a Useless Item for the remainder of the game. Even though the L-Glove is a good item the game is much harder overall if you pick it as being able to recover anywhere with the L-Quilt makes some of the later dungeons much easier to contend with. You can pick the L-Glove, which gives far more critical hits, or the L-Quilt which lets you sleep to fully recover HP, BP, and Stamina anywhere and anytime you want.
