If it's reach? Link either already has reach by using a weapon or doesn't have reach because they're bigger and/or weapon-users. Also spears tend to be two-handed here and the shield is a handy thing to have.
Not quite. It was common soldiers gear so it was made with whatever was on hand and cheaply.
Gambesons is basically cloth padding; while great at stopping arrows it's not going to help much against Lizalfos equipped with metal weapons.
A brigandine and a cuirass would both cover the same region of the body... Do you want to get one for someone else in the party?
Yeah, forgot to note down that one was for us and one for Zelda.
Yes I know what it is, though in truth it's based more off the Jack of Plates on the same page and the Hylian set found in Breath of the wild. It's called a Brigandine for ease of differentiation and as was pointed out a Brigandine didn't have a set method of construction.
Lightning behaves like real lightning, though Hyrule's lightning strikes are more like artillery blasts than what we're used too and thunderstorms are terrifying in their power.
Pretty sure they meant as far as gameplay. Spears are my favorite weapon in BOTW too, because they get really high attack speed.
My only problem with Traveling light is that
Weapons here behave similarly to real weapons. A polearm is honestly better in a lot of situations and will punch right through mail if you manage to thrust it right. Those massive two-hander swords Link runs around with in game are just as easily wielded by him it's just here it take into context what hitting someone with a chunk of metal that size will do.
A cuirass is made of plate, a Brigandine is made of leather.
Bamboozled once again, I'm afraid. Cuirass metal, Brigandine cloth.
