This can cause much slower and occasionally more frustrating movement in some sections of the game.

He swims much slower and does not have access to additional moves such as breaching onto land or spiraling turns except for a few select instances which require magic to use, which can cause issues when the player needs magic elsewhere. This makes swimming easier for new players but slows down many gameplay sections and can make certain areas more frustrating to complete.
