I don't know about between but the Wii u version's load times are not bad at all.

So stuff like opals and amber. Okay to sell or keep them? I'm super loving broke but really paranoid about selling some rare drop that I might need for a quest

Only emojis can express my pure, simple stupidity.

So the switch is pretty much just wii-u portable without the game library lol

Epona's stats are max'd out, with max bond, and a gentle temperament.

Supposedly it's a one-time summon as well, so get your arse to the Stables pronto to register him before you get him killed.

diamonds are definitely not safe to sell. I'm not sure about opals and amber, I *think* they're okay?

I'm mostly selling monster parts since you can always farm tons of those. As long as you fight most people you run into, you should have a lot of basic monster parts and probably won't bother cooking them all into alchemy. Sell a big stack of parts and you make a few hundred rupees easy.

I don't know. I just heard there's something you can use them for later in the game, like trading for something. And I think there's only so many diamonds in the game period. Somebody else might know exactly what you get from them.

Oh my god I really hope this is true. I was really really hoping there'd be some mounts other than the horses, as awesome as those are. Oh man.

Is there a balloon around you can shoot with your bow?!

Various things:

- If anyone is super worried about a horse they like dying there is a great fairy who can revive dead horses, she is creepy as hell though

- I just stumbled across the most amazing puzzle involving iron boulders and trees in the Lost Woods. When the answer hit me I was stunned. This game is so loving clever.

- I also did the whole Zonai Ruins thing from the Game Awards footage today (where you get the riddle from the bird minstrel and go deep into the jungle to find a shrine). It was so fun but the hardest thing I've done yet. Died a lot. Ended up stealthing a large portion of it. Then I got to the end and it required you to have a SUPER rare item (a scale from the dragon near Lake Hylia) to get the reward. I just happened to have found that item like half an hour before. I was so relieved.

I'm still thinking "but what's in the snowy parts around mount hylia," even though I already dove off with my hangglider and there's like eight billion miles of crowded landscape to explore.

Yeah and what I've seen the story so far is pretty lame. It's more the delivery than anything: it's too formal and loaded with exposition.

Everything else 10/10 though.

Oh yeah, that's the one I stumbled upon. To be honest, I thought at that point the DLC kicked in and it generated the chest for me :shrug:

Out here, everything hurts


Mike Matei from Cinemassacre/AVGN has been streaming this for hours and it's sad to see someone struggle so much.

He just found a chest with a weapon, deleted like 6 other weapons from his inventory to make room, didn't get the weapon from the chest and then jumped off a mountain. He keeps saying he's just not used to this kind of Zelda.

I think he's getting better because he has discovered that cooking food and eating it does things, so there's hope.

It's gonna be interesting to see how people who have spent the last decade or so saying, "You know what they should do? Go back to the beginning. Just do Zelda 1 again but make it as next-gen as you can get." handle this game.

I don't think this is a spoiler.

On the puzzle where you have to roll a ball through a maze using gyro control I was hopeless but it turns out you can flip the board upside down which is pretty much cheating.

Do you want the Switch for anything other than Zelda for the next, oh, six months?

If yes, try to get your hands on a Switch. If no, jump in on the Wii U.

(Believe me, I'm having the same dilemma, right down to the "keep playing Horizon" part)
