Daughter otm. I got really bummed out when I accidentally defeated Ganon and found out you can’t keep going after that. Would happily just wander about chatting to people, doing shrines and helping out with reconstruction work tbhIt’s been really interesting playing with my 6yo as well. He doesn’t like the fighting so I take care of that, but he directs the action and it’s just like you say - misses “obvious” signals but comes up with really interesting ways to solve puzzles I’d never have thought of. Also he makes me try things I’d dismiss out of hand as “not possible” and lo, they work. This game is amazing.

He’s really mad he can’t join the Yiga clan though, that first interaction with them where they invite you to join had him completely sold. So now we have to traipse about trying on different clothes in the hope they won’t recognise us and will finally let us join

You can't keep playing after beating Ganon? I think she's still playing, running around and doing stuff.
?
― Cow_Art, Monday, 7 September 2020 13:28 (three years ago) link
poss spoiler?You can reverse back to the time before you beat him (the game knows you've beat him and you get some extra stats) to continue playing, but you can't continue beyond a story point where Ganon has been defeated if you see what I mean. Whenever you're playing, Ganon has to be in the castle awaiting a showdown with you.

great post, cow_art!

Questions.
1. Early on, I assume the best way to spend spirit orbs is on heart containers?2. How does cold resistant equipment work? I bought a warm tunic and still ended up shivering when I was wearing it.3. I assume that beating some shrines require special abilities or equipment or levels first?
― Ruth Bae Ginsburg (Leee), Monday, 7 September 2020 20:41 (three years ago) link
1. balance spirit with stamina for improved climbing and whelping2. there are three 'levels' of cold protection. in addition to early cold-weather gear, you may need to eat some peppers to stay warm enough3. beyond the first half-dozen... not really? once you're off the plateau, you can basically do anything.
― america's favorite (remy bean), Monday, 7 September 2020 20:52 (three years ago) link
Yeah you get a couple extra abilites after you defeat each champion, but theyre gravy really (though Ravioli's Gale is v useful). Its not like other Zelda's where you have to do dungeons to get iron boots/hookshots/etc
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 8 September 2020 00:38 (three years ago) link
Speaking of the champion abilities, I almost never used daruk's protection. It just seemed to get in the way of my default sheild button mashing?
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Tuesday, 8 September 2020 00:41 (three years ago) link
Yep always spend your spirit orbs on hearts - it's dead easy to equip yourself with stamina potions for those long climbs xps
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Tuesday, 8 September 2020 06:31 (three years ago) link
The extra Champion abilities don’t work in shrines either so yeah, every shrine should be doable once you’re off the plateau. Oh: you do need arrows for a few, and a couple I found a lot easier with fire arrows/bomb arrows.
― stet, Tuesday, 8 September 2020 08:03 (three years ago) link
the combat trial shrines (are those DLC?) are much easier with some extra hearts and better weapons
― adam, Tuesday, 8 September 2020 11:45 (three years ago) link
second play through i maxed out stamina and just farmed durian for hearts having max stamina makes the game so much more enjoyable imo just flying climbing running where ever you want
― lag∞n, Tuesday, 8 September 2020 11:54 (three years ago) link
max stamina helps out with the most difficult boss in the game: a mild upward slope in the rain

a BOTW Musou prequel in a few months? I liked Hyrule Warriors so getting to play as Urbosa, Mipha, Daruk and Revali sounds good to me

lol plz tell me that Hyrule Warriors is not the "sequel" that everyone has been freaking out about for a year

So with this Hyrule game ... is the implication that there will be no BOTW2 this year? Or perhaps any time soon?
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 9 September 2020 20:04 (three years ago) link
no one knows, man. just give in to it

prob be out in like a year

i heard that hyrule warriors really is the sequel, as well as the final zelda game
― Karl Malone, Wednesday, 9 September 2020 20:15 (three years ago) link
The trailer I saw for Hyrule Warriors had the main BOTW guy announcing it and he basically said the sequel's quite complex so needs a little more time to work on. I was never expecting it before 2021 anyway. But this prequel snuck up out of nowhere!

― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Wednesday, 9 September 2020 23:24 (three years ago) link
Most gaming websites now seem to think BOTW2 will be October/November 2021 at the very earliest
― chonky floof (groovypanda), Thursday, 10 September 2020 10:19 (three years ago) link
So what does anyone think Nintendo's big holiday releases will be? Or, for that matter, big releases in the next 12 months or so?
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 10 September 2020 13:01 (three years ago) link
there are too many games already

BTW dont use guardian arrows on big enemies, cos they'll just pffft into nothingness, and then you wont get their awesome weapon and parts drops. I wish I'd learned that a lot earlier than I did.

found this out to my relief when i was trying to get dinraal's scale and the fuckin lynel started shooting at me
― la table sur la table (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 15 December 2020 16:46 (three years ago) link
found all the shrines. i’m happy i did, getting link’s ocarina/majora outfit was a surprisingly emotional moment for me. now i’m inventing tasks for myself to procrastinate fighting ganon.
“uhh, i need to make sure all the champions’ items are reforged and in my possession before i face ganon.”
“need to update my wild armor, better start collecting dragon scales”
“am i seriously gonna fight the calamity with such a small shield stash? better get some more korok seeds just in case!”
