If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

If you run up to the highest spot in the mountains the old man will be up there and he'll give you some. Very handy.

Well Imma just go do that right now then!

In case anybody missed it, there's one of those leaf spirit kodama things hiding on the topmost point of the temple of time, if you climb all the way up there assassin's creed style. Also a chest with a bow.

Also, general pointer for y'all: when you get to the first village, talk to the guy that's not from that town, he'll have a stupid easy sidequest that opens a Very Important thing, and after that he will start helping you with another, way more interesting, sidequest that'll have opened up at that point.

The painter? I talked to him and he didn't give me a sidequest. Is it because I had already done the thing he seems to want done before finding him? Did I miss out on the follow-up quest because of it?

Walked into Best Buy in a mall, walked out with a neon switch, Zelda, and a leftover promo keychain from SS as a freebie. I have only watched the original trailer, read no previews and no reviews, and staunchly avoided the hype.

Now I hang off the side of a building on ropes for four hours with the anticipation threatening to kill me. :black101:

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.
been playing on tv mode all day and then i switched! and i did one of the shrines on the toilet and i now agree switch is good console with a very good game. whats the likely hood of waterproofing the joycons do you think, because if i can play this while showering every morning we have truly entered the next generation.

wish that pro controller was cheaper tho, i keep hitting zl/zr instead of l/r with the grip :|

I'm jealous of all the people that got the game already. I'm super looking forward to it and I'm even more excited to hear about how good it is.

I'm also jealous of the people waiting until Tuesday or whatever for their copies to arrive, because my stuff got sent to the wrong address, in the wrong city, in the wrong zip code... :smith:

How do I cook poo poo that isn't throwing things into a fire, or lighting poo poo like barrels with objects inside, on fire?

I've found the pots, and started the fire under them.

lol metacritic is so loving bad compared to Opencritic. The only site where a movie or game can get like universal praise and then it turns out the 98% is actually a 78% and/or a user score of 6.5. forgive me if I don't believe all 300 "0 rating" reviews are legit especially from accounts that just signed on to make one review due to some weirdo loving hateboner

you go into your inventory and pick "hold" for each item you want to cook, up to 5 pieces then walk to the pot and you get a option to throw them all in.

protip as it is probably pretty easy to miss the shine that tells you this


basic mechanics spoiler, not even an item you can do this already
this game has a parry system and perfect dodge system, both of which let you get in 'flurry' critical hits after executing the move


edit:
also this flaming sword is unbelievably dope. it fully flames doesn't just glow


is there a way to repair weapons?

Khajit was up all night to get lucky.
So I did some great plateau things in a specific order and I'm wondering if I locked myself out of something, not sure if anyone else did the same. It's clothing-related.

I did all four shrines and got the King's cutscene before I ever gave the spicy food to the "old man" or climbed that one mountain, is there any other way you can get the warm doublet? Google has been thoroughly unhelpful.

Dexie posted:

If you press X to jump while pressing left or right while locked on, you'll jump to the side and dodge. If you do this at the last second before you get hit, time will slow down (matrix bullet time) and you get a prompt saying you can mash Y to do chain attacks real fast. Its super obvious that you've done it if you time it right. If you get hit, too slow, if you just dodge to the side, too early. (But early is safer than late!)

I don't know the specifics but some sort of repair blacksmith unlocks after beating the zora area's divine beast. you might need to bring him mats for the repairs.

Three mongrel men in exchange for a party member? I found that one in the Faustian Bargain Bin.
I'm really interested in this game, and own a Wii-U, but don't want to spend $300+ on a new Zelda machine. The OP says the Wii-U version is virtually identical, but has anyone posted an actual analysis or comparison? I don't want to drop $60 and spend a few hours of my time just to be disappointed.
