Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) About changing weapons, one of the first things the game tells me is that I can change weapons with the d-pad. It even stops time while doing so. Unless that was the problem? Anyway, is there a way to change the buttons except just switching jump and sprint? Edited March 3, 2017 by Tales Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 3, 2017 Browsing through the User Review on Metacritic is my new favourite pastime. "I gave this a 0 because it's a game that deserves a 7 or 8!" Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2017 "I gave this a 0 because it's a game that deserves a 7 or 8!" Lol And how many of them have actually played it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2017 And how many of them have actually played it... Probably very few. Same thing happened with Horizon the other day. Essentially the metacritic user reviews for both these games have turned into a Sony/Horizon vs Nintendo/Zelda fanboy war. Hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2017 As usual its just pathetic. Gamers should just be happy that two great games came out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More likely Microsoft fanboys as no game came out alongside these that was worth mentioning! We're too busy with these games! Haha :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) I've been playing this for a couple of hours and I have not even gone to the first objective on the map. I've been enjoying exploring, collecting, trying to battle, trying different weapons and cooking:D Edited March 3, 2017 by Blade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 3, 2017 In my quest to climb all the towers I find, I came across one that I really shouldn't have tackled. I was there for about 30 mins trying to get to the top. Every enemy around the area was firing various projectiles at me and killing me with one shot. Must have died about 20 times off the trot. I refused to walk away from it and managed to make it to the top. I came across another one where I clearly needed an item or a hell of a lot more stamina to get all the way up. I had to leave this one. Gutted as it took me ages to actually reach the area it was in! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 3, 2017 The map ones. The one I couldn't climb was the Faron Tower. I actually meant which of the map towers you were talking about. What a coincidence, by the way. I just reached the Faron Tower and climbed it. You have to defeat the Octoroks that are in a pond right next to the tower and use the Octo Balloons they drop on those stone plates that are lying around the tower. One of them reveals an air stream that can propell you upwards. Then you can glide to the tower and climb it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 3, 2017 Played about three hours so far. Did everything to get the sailcloth thing. Enjoying it so far. Gameplay is fantastic. But...so far, it's missing that trademark Zelda humour. I'm hoping to happen upon some towns and villages with some interesting NPCs soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2017 I'm not going all the way back there yet. I'm at the other end of the map now. Fair enough I'm just about to get my 6th and 7th heart containers and then I'll try to reach the remaining 6 map towers and the occasional shrines. I also need to... ...trade in Korok seeds and upgrade my bag. I really want to carry more melee weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the reminder about the inventory. I need to go back and sort upgrade that as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2017 7 straight hours played so far, think I've barely scratched the surface. I'm starting to get to grips with the new battle system though...gradually. Just did a shrine with a simple combat thing against one enemy and it completely wrecked me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2017 Man I'm having so much fun with this. I have spent hours just exploring and cooking and fighting and dying haha. How good is the screenshot on Switch too?! So fluid, shame no Miiverse to take advantage. One of my fave things so far... Pushing boulders from a great height onto unsuspecting Bokoblin haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 3, 2017 Three Sheikah Towers left. But I'm getting a little bored of going after them. I think I'll just choose one area I haven't been to (except for activating the tower) and explore the shit out of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
