Breath of the Wild Rafts or Cryonis?

[Vanessa28]

So, I'm on a treasure chest hunt and am at the area around Lurelin and Eventide Island. There are a lot of chests to capture. I know you can make things easier by taking a raft and use a korok leaf. I don't have in my inventory and can easily get one by warping to several locations, but I'm stubborn. I don't like the leaf and don't want to waste space in my inventory by using one. So I made it all my way by using cryonis. So this reminds me...what do you prefer and why?

 

[Jirohnagi]

Cryonis just because i like making the seas my bish, but no it's mainly due to the fact i know where i am going. I tend to use metal objects to go fast with rafts......

I got to Eventide by paragliding from Cape Cales. But I normally use cryonis stepping stones always. It's actually the rune I use the most. I seldom use rafts and cryonis is always available to me while rafts are not. Paragliding and cryonis are my alternatives to swimming.

Cryonis every time. Its too much faff with a leaf and a raft.

If botw had WW sailing controls we wouldnt have a problem

Why the raft sucks?
You have to have a weapon slot wasted with the otherwise useless leaf. Cryonis doesn't require a weapon to use.

Cryonis so I don't have to drop a weapon to take a leaf. The raft can occasionally be more useful for the really longer distances, but I mostly prefer cryonis

 

[YIGAhim]

I think I used a raft ONCE in BOTW...

 

[Night Owl]

I likte rafts because they are faster. I also dedicate an item slot to the useless korok leaf because it would annoy my brother to no end that I was carrying one.

I've gotten the raft to cruise so quickly that I've sent the raft several yards up the beach upon impact. The raft is amazing, though underutilized.

Now that I think about it... I don't think I've ever used a raft.

 

[Azure Sage]

I've occasionally sailed the lengths of the two main rivers and along the edges of the continent, but mostly I use cryonis unless there's a chest that you need a raft to get.

 

[Alita the Pun]

It depends on how far I have to go. If I'm going out to Eventide, I'll use the boat because you can get it up to speed. But for shorter distances like crossing a lake, I'll use Cryonis.

I think I just used the glider to get to Eventide.

I like Cryonis way better as well. I don't like the leaf plus with cryonis you got more control than being on a raft.

 

[Spirit]

You could always use the motorboat hack where you drop a weapon and use magnesis to push it against the mast and the raft goes really fast.

Its a pain to set up though.

 

[Wiggum]

How do I feel about rafts, you ask? Well, let me put it this way ... they can all burn in hell.

I guess that's a vote for either swimming or using Cryonis.
