Ronnie Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Reveal hidden contents Ok... I was in the region just east of the Plateau, wide open fields, then the red moon suddenly rose and turned the whole area to darkness + the cutscene with Zelda.... oh my god. Favourite moment of the game so far. From being all WTF at this giant glowing red sun rising at night, to the terrifying scenes that followed. Fantastic.

Hero-of-Time Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 drahkon said: Absolutely agree. Reveal hidden contents Having the beasts take off over half is life was a bit of a joke. The fight wasn't hard anyway, so I didn't see the need to make it any easier. I also didn't care much for the design of Ganon. It's probably the weakest design out of all the Zelda games.

If you cook during that period of time you will get some nice bonuses.
Tales Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Where do I find that guy who increases your inventory the second time? He said I could find him somewhere else after the first time I met him, but I don't remember where.

I'm not sure if he goes anywhere else first but that's where I found him when he flew away from his starting position.
Tales Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 What region of the map is Lost Woods in then? I'm currently at the bottom right one but I'll head there when I'm finished with this region.
Cube Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I spend most of the weekend playing it and I absolutely love it. Moving around the world is so much fun and there's lots and lots of small details, ruins and all sorts. Currently done two of the divine beasts. Even though they were short, I really enjoyed them. Bosses aren't great, though. The shrines are a lot of fun, too, especially the ones you can complete in unconventional ways due to the physics system. It definitely has the thing of "I'll do this" then when I get there I get distracted by other stuff. I went looking for a Goron for a quest and ended up defeating a divine beast.

He's usually near stables.

It's north ( a little east, as well ) of Hyrule Castle on the map. Sales stuff. Quote Released on Friday, Nintendo Switch brings with it ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild’, which debuts at No2 for both Switch and Wii U. 78% of sales were for the Switch version with 22% for Wii U. The Switch version becomes the 3rd biggest ever launch of a Zelda title, behind ‘Wind Waker’ on Gamecube and ‘Twilight Princess’ on Wii. Edited March 6, 2017 by Hero-of-Time
FalcoLombardi Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I'm enjoying the game, but I'm honestly not that good at video games anymore. Luckily, I've become kind of good with the bow and bombs (as well as stealth) in order to keep my distance.

Rummy Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 @Hero\-of\-Time and @AnyoneElseWhoHasCompletedIT - how would you surmise your experiences with the game and if inclined to score it, where would you put it?
Shorty Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 This isn't quite relevant to Zelda, but I just want to correct myself... Simply Games didn't drop the ball, I did, I got the postcode mixed up Glad I bought a separate copy!
V. Amoleo Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Just killed myself by using an amiibo. The chest landed straight on Link! D'oh!

I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I don't hate it but I certainly don't adore it, either. There are far too many things in it that I don't like to rate it highly.
Grazza Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Well done to @Hero\-of\-Time and @drahkon for completing the game . I had a very enjoyable time playing it last night, just trying to find shrines and towers. Reveal hidden contents I got the Climber's Bandana from the shrine between the peaks, which has made mountaineering that much easier. I ran up the cliff and found the shrines with the "Twin Memories" puzzle. This really impressed me in the same way as the "Goddess islands" moment in Wind Waker. Reveal hidden contents With the Climber's Bandana, I could finally get up this tower. Doing so gives an immense sense of satisfaction. Reveal hidden contents (Lake Hylia) The base was surrounded by all kinds of villains, so I just ran past them and zoomed up the tower! Reveal hidden contents (Faron?) I accessed this from the nearby plateau (not the Great Plateau) and just glided down onto the side! I suspect you don't have to climb it at all if you time it right! Just trying to build myself up as fast as possible by completing shrines, and finding towers to base myself from. This is one game I should have bought the official guide book for!
Blade Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 To me the more I play this game the more I think it is a contender for the best game ever made! Its so far definitely up there with Ocarina of Time and Metroid Prime!

Yeah, the armour set you mentioned comes in great for climbing. Once I got it I was always using it when I went exploring. Getting the towers first was always going to be my first objective. I tend to play most open world Ubisoft games this way, as well. It makes it far more snappier later in the game if you are willing to put in the leg work early on.

I'm playing it a different way to you by fully exploring an area before moving onto the next and moving on with the story. I love the fact that you can play the game how you want and there is no "correct" way of going about things.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Damn that volcano is daunting to travel up, I only just made it to the Shrine in the last few seconds so I didn't have to venture up it again without the neccesities. Love how they replicated the realism of going up a volcano. This is no friendly walk up a hill.
Blade Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I've just reached the first Great Fairy! It was so good hearing that familiar tune! Thats one thing I have not enountered very much so far...familiar Zelda music
Serebii Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Reveal hidden contents Huh, just saw a green glow in a mountain, went to investigate and found the Lord of the Mountain with a load of Blupee. Fascinating.
liger05 Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 How do you make a horse your own. I had one but when I whistled it did nothing.

Esequiel Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Jesus Christ. I don't recommend doing the gerudo divine beast early on. It's the second "dungeon" I did, I was tearing my hair out by the end. That boss was very very tough. The puzzles feel very Zelda to me in fact, that dungeon reminded me of the water temple a little. Having a little break now and then need to start finding shrines. I've only done 20 or so.
Aneres11 Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 What in gods name is this shrine with the motion controls? What the actual fuck kind of fuckery?! I can't do it and I'm ready to smash something. Whyyyy.
