Esequiel Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 That's quick @Hero\-of\-Time ! I'm just trying to get to the Zora Domain at the minute. Ran into some huge ogre thing and: A huge dragon called Naydra and saw a flying green thing one aswell! Actually finding it quite difficult, only unlocked 4 areas so far and done maybe 15 shrines. Got a lot of seeds aswell to hand in, and found 1 shrine I couldn't do!!! It's quest thing is major test of strength and it's solid! Will jump back on in a bit
Hero-of-Time Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Which dungeon did you guys end up doing first? (assuming you can do them in any order) The Zora area one. The ability you get off of it comes in very handy. Actually finding it quite difficult, only unlocked 4 areas so far and done maybe 15 shrines. Got a lot of seeds aswell to hand in, and found 1 shrine I couldn't do!!! It's quest thing is major test of strength and it's solid! Will jump back on in a bit That shrine can be quite dangerous at lower levels. Once the enemy gets low on health it goes completely nuts. I went through a few weapons beating that stage.
Grazza Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 It's weird, I love it again now. It really is one of those games that forces you to adapt to it and become a better gamer. Doing so may be uncomfortable, but it's undeniably a good game. The word "phenomenal" is not an overstatement. I've started enjoying it more by not following the story so closely, or rather, not trying to rush it. Instead of heading to the yellow markers, I've adapted these priorities: 1) Find and activate the tower in each land 2) Complete all shrines in that land Then when I've done that, I don't mind heading to a yellow marker that's in another land, if you know what I mean? It also helped to buy all the best gear I can find at the moment, and get it upgraded. Doing so has made battles that much less fraught. Oh man, Nintendo has really done it this time. This is an outstanding moment in the company's history.

Happenstance Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Ok to save having to work this out for myself and selling something thats helpful in a recipe later. Are there any items that are definitely safe to sell?

Naar Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 The only thing I sold was rubies. The rest of the stuff I kept. I'm a hoarder. (just me being jelly i cant play this game right now)

Once the enemy gets low on health it goes completely nuts. I went through a few weapons beating that stage. What sort of equipment do you unlock later on? I have the blue link top, currently wearing knights armour which upgraded takes me to 21 defence. Got some 38 attack weapons too. Just wondering how much stronger I can get and if it makes things any easier!

Just got to a new area and Im blown away by the LOTR-like structures...:heart:
Grazza Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Wow, that's quite a U turn from your thoughts earlier! It's that crazy a game.
Serebii Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Finding myself dying a lot less now. I just needed to adapt how I played early on. Now, I am a master of the combat. Still loving it though. I have almost 50 shrines done now. Lots more to do, but I'm finding the shrines harder and harder to find now :/ Though... I did see dragons! I guess we have to kill them, but I never could get close. I know one is needed for the Spring of Power, and I think I saw that one (Dinraal, Din so fire) but can't get it to appear again. I did find the yellow one twice. Once in Lake Hylia and another time a bit south east but couldn't get at it. Any tips?
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Im still in shock really... I mean I was expecting something good but this good is unbelievable. This new team are coming out all guns blazing. Finding myself dying a lot less now. I just needed to adapt how I played early on. Now, I am a master of the combat. I find the combat really rewarding, just needed to wean myself off of the usually easy Zelda fights, which was pretty much hack and slash easy mode. Here, Im actually practicing stuff like backflips for that McFlurry.
drahkon Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I did see dragons! I guess we have to kill them, but I never could get close.

Once in Lake Hylia and another time a bit south east but couldn't get at it. Any tips? Climb the mountain east of Naydra Snowfield (in the southeast of the map). That's I'll give you :p Am I the only one who finds this game easy?

Got some 38 attack weapons too. Just wondering how much stronger I can get and if it makes things any easier! The knight armour is fine. Just keep upgrading it with the Great Fairy fountains.

At least that's what I done for the couple I faced. The adventure is over. You must have JavaScript enabled on your device to view Miiverse posts that have been embedded in a website. View post in Miiverse The build up to the final battle was amazingly epic, especially the music. Sadly the final boss was a bit meh and ridiculously easy, even more so if you've completed the 4 main dungeons. I'll post my final thoughts on the game sometime tomorrow. At the moment I'm physically and mentally exhausted.
drahkon Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 4 dungeons completed and 69 (hehe) Shrines done. Not sure if I'll want to do more before tackling the final area of the game...
Happenstance Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Dying a lot at the moment on the Major test of strength shrine
Tales Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 Had to give give up on that one. But I marked it on the map so I can come back later. Really like the map in this game. It's very detailed and I find myself constantly refering to it at several zoom levels as well as leaving a lot of markers for locations I want to visit.
Happenstance Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I managed to do it in the end, just took a hell of a lot of dodging and spear attacks.
Falcon_BlizZACK Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I love those tests of strength and the rewards... But yeah, had to U-turn that Major test going off how the moderate test went lol.
drahkon Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 And it's over. What an icredible letdown of a final boss... The build up to the final battle was amazingly epic, especially the music. Sadly the final boss was a bit meh and ridiculously easy, even more so if you've completed the 4 main dungeons. Absolutely agree.
Tim B Posted March 5, 2017 Posted March 5, 2017 I'm up to what I assume is the first dungeon, near Zora's Domain. Just used my shock arrows to smash the pink spheres. Unbelievable that some of you have finished it already . Roughly how many hours did it take you please?
drahkon Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 Roughly how many hours did it take you please? 50. Man, I really did not get a lot of sleep since Thursday
Ike Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 There's a side quest that lets you buy a house for 3000 Rupees. Is it really that much? I have like 200. Striking an enemy with a lightning bolt during a thunderstorm is so satisfying.
