nintendo saw ppl making flying machines and riding launched tree trunks and were like oh this is what you sickos like ok

i love the idea to make the monster parts actually useful for a reason besides exchanging for fun bokoblin masks
― ludicrously capacious bag (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 28 March 2023 14:59 (one year ago) link
yeah would be cool if the items in general are more useful and varied
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:02 (one year ago) link
sadly its not what i like doing myself in games even if the vids are cool

you don't like to ascend?

i've only just gotten to rito village, can i watch this overview without having anything being spoiled?
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:16 (one year ago) link
ya it doesnt really reference botw at all
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:18 (one year ago) link
seems like with the new powers the game will be pretty puzzley but not with just one or even a set number of solutions which is cool and unusual imo
I need to get back on the Master Sword quest. I managed to make it to the very end and oooooh shit nonono did not allocate my resources very well.
Can’t wait for this, so stoked.
― Cow_Art, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:20 (one year ago) link
idk i would contend that a puzzle without a fixed solution or number of solutions is an obstacle, not a puzzle
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:20 (one year ago) link
its a puzzling distinction
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:23 (one year ago) link
tip re the trial of the master sword in the final trials theres nine ancient arrows three chests of three and finding them all makes it much easier
I paid zero attention to video games for decades and only got into BOTW about a year ago so this pre-release hype is all new to me.
I'm assuming there will be a shitload of people sprinting to finish the game ASAP for internet glory? How long would something like that take to do?
― joygoat, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:28 (one year ago) link
i mean i'm sure at least one person will but these games are open and dont have much story to spoil so people will take their time
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:30 (one year ago) link
Totk truly Puzz3D to BotW's jigsaw
― Cinta Kaz is comin' to town (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:31 (one year ago) link
is this game looking to be more like a big DLC or more like a majora's mask
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:44 (one year ago) link
the latter imo
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:45 (one year ago) link
did botw have a long game-spanning sidequest chain i forget. if not they need to bring that back
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:51 (one year ago) link
captured memories, kind of
― ludicrously capacious bag (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:53 (one year ago) link
thats the main story isnt it?
i think tarrey town probably counts
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:54 (one year ago) link
i hope you can build more new towns in this i hope its kind of like sim city
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:55 (one year ago) link
xp yeah you're prob right
― ludicrously capacious bag (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 28 March 2023 15:57 (one year ago) link
i should play some botw ahead of this coming out

dont think ive touched it since 2017 honestly, despite never finishing it. i think thats fine tho
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 16:00 (one year ago) link
i tried and failed several times to do the trials to get the motorcycle, that was probably the last thing i did on it
― na (NA), Tuesday, 28 March 2023 16:03 (one year ago) link
sad for you guys that you never got to ride the motorcycle that you never got to gas it up with raw meat
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 16:06 (one year ago) link
not being able to save during it is what made it frustrating

i got the link motorcycle on mario kart, basically the same thing

they had to do something about the climbing raining situation
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 16:39 (one year ago) link
maybe they took out rain entirely but the catch is that hyrule slowly becomes an arid wasteland
― c u (crüt), Tuesday, 28 March 2023 16:57 (one year ago) link
maybe i'll understand the point of the mechanic better when i play it but i have to imagine there was a better solution for getting on top of stuff in a game largely about exploration than to slowly warp through the ceiling. odd choice for a feature to highlight. why not just bring back the grappling hook thing
― karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Tuesday, 28 March 2023 17:11 (one year ago) link
maybe link is dead and is a ghost now and that's why he can gloop through ceilings

Okay I was gonna defend Ascend. Then I saw someone say it was created because people thought climbing was boring. Climbing was my clear favorite part of BOTW. Never Ascend.

no this is part of the beauty of climbing, it's like life, goals that seem achievable and then slip out of reach, or vice versa

If Nintendo based new features off of BotW videos, there will be some serious sicko shit with the Yiga Clan

i'm ok with ascend but they really need to rework it so that it's explicitly a zonai hookshot

xp featuring lots of mighty bananas hopefully

Climbing that first tower was so satisfying.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 29 March 2023 01:08 (one year ago) link
Watched this with the kid earlier and he pointed out it had been uploaded 4 hours earlier and there was already a 2 hour long response video
― joygoat, Wednesday, 29 March 2023 02:09 (one year ago) link
Also rain climbing sucks so much, I keep thinking there would be some element of clothing or recipe that let you climb in the rain but fuck no
― joygoat, Wednesday, 29 March 2023 02:13 (one year ago) link
Speaking of towers, I assume sheika towers wont be the way maps unlock in this, given that's happened already. Unless this is set before BoTW... still isnt clear on that. The reverseo-chango skill has me wondering.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 29 March 2023 02:18 (one year ago) link
the gerudo one is the only one I've done so far! it doesn't require a paraglider. i'm more concerned about the rito dungeon boss tbh. when i first started out, i assumed i could get the glider suit and level it up to be impact proof, but the great fairies are locked behind the newspaper quest which i believe is locked behind the paraglider

You are a maniac
― octobeard, Monday, 7 August 2023 18:19 (nine months ago) link
Thank you for your service.
― Jeff, Monday, 7 August 2023 18:55 (nine months ago) link
Arent large parts of the main quest locked til you get the paraglider though?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 8 August 2023 05:05 (nine months ago) link
Or just the prompts for them?
some things are, but the four main dungeons aren't
― c u (crüt), Tuesday, 8 August 2023 12:01 (nine months ago) link
finally found all the shrines and lightroots. i am still addicted enough to play for a little while longer and collect some more armor sets, but i'm not motivated to find all the wells or hudson signs or whatever.
i think the link's awakening remaster is next on my list
― is he disgruntled adrian? (voodoo chili), Monday, 21 August 2023 17:33 (nine months ago) link
finished the dungeons without the paraglider. i was able to upgrade my armor after all, thankfully.
― c u (crüt), Monday, 21 August 2023 17:48 (nine months ago) link
the link's awakening remaster is just about perfect
― adam, Monday, 21 August 2023 18:08 (nine months ago) link
Okay wtf why am I so bad at this game? I’ve gone through all the fromsoft games with relative ease but combat in this game just ruins me.
Pls give me tips on how to be better at this, it’s killing me atm
― hrep (H.P), Monday, 21 August 2023 21:57 (nine months ago) link
Co-sign links awakening remaster being amazing. One of my favourite plays from this year
― hrep (H.P), Monday, 21 August 2023 21:58 (nine months ago) link
explore the depths, pick up lots of muddle buds and puffshrooms. they will help a lot vs all regular enemies
― is he disgruntled adrian? (voodoo chili), Monday, 21 August 2023 22:56 (nine months ago) link
attaching a frost emitter to a shield makes combat maybe too easy
― lag∞n, Monday, 21 August 2023 23:32 (nine months ago) link
or a sapphire if you wanna look cool
― is he disgruntled adrian? (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 00:14 (nine months ago) link
Latest "did not know" weapon combo I found was the forest dweller spear - you can fuse it to "burst" items like dazzlefruit and it wont disappear, it'll recharge!
Was handy in the depths against mini frox and skellies.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 04:03 (nine months ago) link
Sorry by "it" i mean the fruit you attach.
I think I was just doing things I wasn’t supposed to yet. Trying to clear out lurelin village while only having 5 hearts. Just finished my first temple (water) and feeling I am playing the game more as intended now. Lots of fun!
― H.P, Wednesday, 23 August 2023 12:58 (nine months ago) link
gotta get the hearts
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 August 2023 14:24 (nine months ago) link
Heck yeah my first task was to find and knock over as many shrines as I could, main quest be damned.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Thursday, 24 August 2023 00:30 (nine months ago) link
Still have 5 hearts but now I have an extra stamina wheel (ocd meant I needed to finish it after getting one extra part). Hearts from here on out. Currently meeting the founders of hyrule in a cutscene. Looks like Zelda’s travelled further than imagined. Oh well she can wait; shrines to explore!
― H.P, Thursday, 24 August 2023 01:13 (nine months ago) link
Finally opened this, put about 200 hours in over the last month. Just excellent. Amazed that they really nailed it.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 13:22 (eight months ago) link
I finally decided to give Ganondorf another shot (after initially stumbling upon him earlier). Lost again, not enough gloom busting food. I really just spend the majority of time just exploring. I’m still finding new caves and wells. Still need to beat a bunch of the Gleeoks. Many side questions remaining, but I think I’ve finished all the main ones, with the exception of the final battle. Need to find all the damn armor too.
― Jeff, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 14:34 (eight months ago) link
I've been putting off fighting Ganondorf for weeks now. I'm still running around doing sidequests. Amazing game
― treefell, Tuesday, 5 September 2023 14:53 (eight months ago) link
The Ganondorf battle really is something else — they went above and beyond atoning for the disappointing final battle in Breath of the Wild
This game is to BOTW what A Link to the Past was to Zelda 1
― c u (crüt), Tuesday, 5 September 2023 15:26 (eight months ago) link
Just picked this back up on a flight after playing Elden Ring for so long. I really need to be in the right mindset for this game after switching it up. I can't easily go "back and forth". It's so much easier to get side tracked in this game too.
BTW given I've started up Elden Ring this year, and will likely dive into BG3 once I've beaten that and TotK, this is looking to be a completely ridiculous year in gaming for me. And I'm really looking forward to that new Mario game and Dave the Diver once it's on Switch.
