The second time you talk to an NPC, don't let them just drone back the same initial response.

Breath of the Wild reduces the dialog on second approaches, getting you to the point much quicker.

second conversation:

  • delete the greeting and any other detail
  • deliver the highlighted text that references other game objects (i.e. quest metadata)

By the third time, it should be like:

  • ok, do you really need me to hold your hand?
  • The DRAGON comes at NIGHT.
  • Got it?
