Tears Of The Kingdom Players Are Using Spicy Peppers To Bring Back Revali's Gale

Better to waste a pepper to quickly get up a ledge than your prized Zonai artefacts.

Been running out of rockets and have wayyy too many peppers!" kitsunemeschief wrote. "You finally fucking did it! this is the one frfr [...] I don't play with shields and this is the true successor!!
