The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

oh geez he deliberately deleted the original tweets "out of respect" to the original talkers. someone get him on twitter and tell him the images don't embed on medium

lol

man, this game, even the glitches are cool. spouse just ran across a dlc bug where a treasure chest falls out of the sky over and over again.

The other day I used one of my amiibos to do a treasure drop, and it dropped a chest and 2 wooden crates. Then there was a flash of lightning and one crate just blinked out of existence.

I also found and rode the King of the Mountain the other day! He was spooky.

Lord of the Mountain rather.

Oh man this game. I've pretty much ignored a whole bunch of mechanics - quests, mini bosses, riding horses, shrines, korok seeds - and I'm still clambering over new mountains and creeping along new valleys, just trying to find out what's around the next corner. This is after about 40 hours. I got the house, though - Bolson is a dude.

And now my kids are playing it and noticing things that I breezed right past, setting bomb traps for octoroks, catching horse after horse - they're approaching it. in such a different way to me, it's an education.

So I’ve got like 80 shrines, and all of the beasts. I’m kinda petering out. I guess I should go to the castle and finish this, but I don’t want to end the game. Once I go to the castle can I keep playing the game after, or is that it (spoilers, I guess)?

that's it, pretty much. you'll get a save with a * so you can keep trying to 100% after if you want

there's the DLC, some of which isn't out yet, no?

I've only done two beasts. I became obsessed with obtaining and upgrading armor for awhile when life got very busy. I've also been playing mario kart because I switched game cards to play with friends awhile back, and it's hard to justify not playing mario kart whenever I pick the thing up. Now the new mario is coming out, and I don't think I can juggle 3 masterpieces.

xp oh yeah that DLC- will definitely buy when it's complete

the nice thing about single player masterpieces, they'll always be waiting for you =D but zelda is so good, finish it

finishing games is overrated imo

I wandered around for like an hour last night trying to find more shrines and ended up with like 2 stupid korok seeds. Guess it's time to wrap it up. Or I could just talk to every goddamn NPC in Hyrule and do all the side quests (many of which reveal shrines, I guess).

the ones that open shrines go into a separate section in your quest log iirc so you know which they are

Good to know, thanks!

using the magnet on a lizal boomerang is a great idea

a lot of those are fantastic

holy shit I'm riding a bear

take it to the gay thread buddy

yeah, quit with the gay stuff, we're trying to discuss our video game about the adventures of a fairy boy

otm

still riding him. he's way more biddable than I thought a bear would be

Ive only ridden one, but it was fun, plodding thru the snow.

Catching/riding a fuckn reindeer was way more impossible - and that one was a shrine quest. Took me forever to get one, they just heard me no matter wjat sneak shit I did. I ended up parachuting down onto one lol.

I didn't know that any of this was was possible

shut the fuck up, tree, and let me get this sword

a free bit got added to the DLC the other day. I finished it in 10 minutes. It was just to go to 3 places and stare in the right direction til you saw a red shooting star, to get some goodies.

New set of amiibos out a few weeks back, featuring the 4 champions. I snagged Daruk and Revali. Couldnt justify paying for all 4 this close to xmas :(

Anyone else collect the amiibos?

unless it's spoilery for some reason..

what IS the "breath" of the wild?

The wind/weather, I always assumed! It has such a vital presence in the game.

Horse farts is a better answer.

haha <3

The Legend of Zelda: Horse Farts

Now I'm picturing inventive battle strategies involving one Link, his horse, and a bunch of fire arrows....

oh shiiit new DLC is out. gotta pick it up

six hours into this (five hours of which has been walking from distant point to distant point, again and again and again) and i'm apparently having to make a recipe trial-and-error out of some random shit that's not explained. i'm tempted to cheat, not because i'm incapable but because this is so god damned boring.

the mystery ingredient is a fish. no way would i have stumbled upon that inside a year.

Walking distant point to distant point, trial and erroring spicy fish recipes is the gamd

Fuck did you just spoiler the DLC? :/

no i think AA is talking about the intro quest to get the glider. i relented and looked that one up too when i did it

yeah intro quest. i would never spoil brand new content (or anything important tbh).

this console reeeeeally needs some wii u ports btw. skyward sword would be pretty great too.

that's the quest for the warm doublet. there are at least two other ways to get it and there are ways to get by without it.

u suck at videogames

harsh but fair tbh

although since i got the paraglider i've been progressing fine, so maybe i just suck at recipes and patience (rushomancy otm, i should have just tried something else)

also i know i'm super late to this game but holy shit it's enormous

First off it's called "the spicy meat and seafood fry" which suggests fish might be a likely ingredient? Also there's a cookbook at the old man's cabin that tells you what's needed.

problem exists between chair and joycon

Yeah early on in the game, read every book you come across. They will give important advice. Also make note of the tips in the loading screens. There is a ton of useful info in there!

Or fuckit and just look it up on Polygon like I have done a few times because fuck a physics puzzle.
