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

Totk truly Puzz3D to BotW's jigsaw

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

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

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

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

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

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

Climbing that first tower was so satisfying.

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
you can see towers in the background of that video theyre different towers tho

Most maddening BOTW element is accidentally crouching when I'm panicky and trying to run from something horrible

Finally watched that video, new game (mechanics) look awesome. I rarely play my Switch, but will def. (eventually) get this.

i think the only way to manage it is some sort of rewards system (identify a possible job opp, reward with a shrine, update a section of the resume, shrine, 20 minutes straight of trying to find a job and failing, shrine). however, i have never successfully implemented this system for longer than a day. signed, unemployed happy guy

actually, don't do that. zelda would kill millions of people that way

i think this game is going to be great botw was amazing even tho it often wasnt that good as a game where it seems like they stepped up the game stuff with this one, lord willing it will have dungeons

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 (seven months ago) link
gotta get the hearts
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 23 August 2023 14:24 (seven 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 (seven 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 (seven 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 (six 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 (six 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 (six 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 (six 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.
