I made it to Gerudo Town. Is there a fast travel point here? Maybe a shrine nearby? It's hard to see around here with the sand shroud, though.

HellOnEarth posted:I think you get 10 slots total after getting all the pony points, eventually? I think there's 5 unique horses, (two giant horses, a golden horse, the royal white horse and Epona) so it should be fine unless there's a bunch of undiscovered unique horses out there. I think the royal white horse and the Ganondorse are in TOTK even without the transfer, so technically 7? Thank you! There is also (quest spoiler, finished two temples) the horse belonging to the Lookout Point stable owner. I don't know if that's really a unique horse because the weather was too cloudy for me to see his colors, but I took him anyway when he was offered edit: I just realized the place is called Lookout Landing and not Lookout Point (only spoilered because of its implication for the previous spoiler).

Electric Phantasm posted:The shrine explaining the bow time mechanic is in such a weird place. I just did this and it is and isn’t! I’ve been thinking about this because if level design stuff: I’ve been following the games gentle nudge toward Rito town. I went up the first tower between hyrule town and Rito, coming down a glowing red circle in the direction of the story objective caught my eye, I flew toward and saw the island on the way, I juuuuuuust barely got to it before running out of stamina. the shrine on the island was a basic combat tutorial and now I really feel like I’m following the intended path and this was a tutorial along the way. But dang if it wasn’t a wild ride getting there.

i finally finished a dungeon and went back to lookout point its very funny talking to josha after having already done a lot of exploring. "Hey can you go check THIS out, I bet it'd be really neat... wait what do you mean you already did? Oh, okay. Um. Well, maybe have you considering taking a picture of this other thing i want to research? ...wait, you already took a picture of that too?? just because you thought it looked cool???" also I was able to kill a group of gloom floormaster things and then the boss that they spawn afterwards. Now i have a sweet-rear end club!! If only it didn't eat my soul to wield it, alas.

I got too invested in trying to take photos and it sniped me way outside the actual location it's in

How are you all upgrading your batteries so fast? I've been returning to farm near the foundry in the tutorial area and buying all the crystals, but it's 10 a time and you need 100 for a single upgrade.

You think it would be so hard to find giant glowing roots in the depths but I’ve been wandering in the dark for an hour now and am down to 2 non-gloomed hearts.

I've only done the one mission so far in the depths, they freak me out. Can I ascend at anytime? Although I guess it doesn't matter since I can fast travel to any shrine I want.

For the depths, the bone horses are immune to gloom and make traversal SO MUCH easier.

No the spots where you can ascend are like some very specific things jutting from the ceiling but in my experience they tend to lead you to something interesting on the surface so hit them up if you can

Blaziken386 posted:an important part of the roots is that they are almost always located directly underneath a shrine on the surface, so you can use that to pinpoint them if you cant see any. As you can imagine this is also useful for finding shrines on the surface that you haven’t seen yet or are obscured in some way

YggiDee posted:We had a spoiler thread when folks were playing leaked copy but I think everyone posts in here now anyway. Makes sense! After witnessing all the dragon tears, Zelda's dragon eyes being all iguana gecko-like weirds me out, but Ganondorf just possibly being a whole rear end separate Ganondorf from the Calamity Ganon of BoTW, since the game is absolutely not about anything resembling the Triforce but infini.....sacred stones. I don't think there was ever going to be any sort of timeline merging now that you're having ANOTHER First King of Hyrule retcon and no mention of the Master Sword existing in that era whatsoever. I'm just kinda wondering other than all the cool poo poo you can do and Dragon Ganon being a massive wet fart of an end boss, where the game can go from here lore wise.

went to the gerudo area and three things immediately happened 1: I love how the memory nearby is like, deliberately referencing Ocarina of Time both in camera angles and zelda's line about him having darkness in his heart. Also goddamn ganondorf is hot. 2: i did a shrine and audibly gasped when i realized that the zonai cart i've been using for my vehicles (because it looks neat) can be used as a SANDBOAT when flipped upside down 3: this is the first place where wearing the yiga mask means that people treat you as a yiga, by which i mean, they tell you to eat poo poo and gently caress off. That rules. I know the sheikah get all scared for a moment but then tell you to cut it out and stop pranking them, but they still talk with you normally because they know who you are. The gerudo are basically spitting on you as soon as you walk into town, I love when outfit customization is remarked upon.

I’ve put an unholy amount of hours into this game order the last 72 hours. More than any video game in my life. It is absolutely the greatest video game ever made. I don’t think there’s even a close second. It takes elements from the entire series to create a Grand Unified Zelda Experience. (Okay, not really, since it still doesn’t have the classic dungeon+item setup.) I feel like it’s pulling a lot from Wind Waker but I don’t know exactly how yet. Just a vibe I’m getting. One of my favorite changes to the game is how much more ALIVE Hyrule feels. Not just in terms of stuff to do, but the populace itself. It feels like people are all over the place and they have much deeper personalities and a LOT more side quests. BotW felt like a world where you were pretty much just alone, experiencing things that everyone else in Hyrule wasn’t privy too. This time though, there’s a real sense of civilization and active participation by NPCs. I just finished the Great Fairy quest, and seeing those musicians play with them felt so strange because in BotW it seems like no one but Link could ever possibly interact with them. And each musician had their own cute moment that was incredibly memorable. The Flautist quest is going to stick with me for awhile. The best way I can describe TotK is comparing it to a really great buffet. All the food available looks delicious and you fill your plate up, and it’s somehow better than it looks. And you eat too much but you can’t stop and you just want to gorge yourself until you die. I played so much on Friday that I was honestly fatigued by the end. I wish I had taken tomorrow off work as well, but I’m also grateful that I’ll be forced to pull myself away from this game because all I want to do is consume every little bit of it. I started my playthrough with no warping so I could really take in everything, but I quickly realized that this was leaving me feeling anxious all the time like I was missing out on so much. Now I’m teleporting left and right so I can just complete as much as possible. Eventually I’ll feel satisfied enough to enjoy the game at a more leisurely pace. But for now it’s just GO GO GO. And there’s been a lot of discussion about the Rito Main Quest, and rightfully so. But for me the entire Zora Quest was mind blowing. Some of my favorite video game moments ever. In any other game, either of these sequences would be the big climax of the game, but in TotK they’re right at the beginning. Somehow TotK has wildly surpassed by incredibly high expectations. Even without the Nuts & Bolts stuff, this would be GOAT. But there’s an entire extra game within this game and I can’t wait to play that more.

Riot dungeon was really cool, boss was easy but definitely felt climactic in a way that the blight ganons didn’t got lost in a massive cave, finally met a great fairy, and now heading my way over to Necluda. Really excited to see what’s up in the different villages, random NPCs have been hyping them up to me on a regular basis. the world feels so alive, every location has something going on and there are so many NPCs coming and going all the time and lots of new characters. even Lurelin village apparently has a quest for me to check out, that place just had a shrine and a gambling addict in BoTW

Just got to the wind temple and fuuuuuck. I never played Skyrim or other AAA games of late, but is this much 'vertical' something other games have achieved? Had a similar reaction to how far down you dive for the crevasses, but it just goes and goes and goes and goes in a way that feels truly monumental.

Today, we decided we wanted to check out the korok forest and see what they were up to. Holy hell what a day it was, from the journey there to the confrontations along the way to the capstone encounter. This game rocks.

I sincerely wonder if sky diving is going to see a rise in popularity thanks to this game.
