Went ahead and bought the Wii U version on the basis that I played Horizon for about half an hour before getting :geno: about the whole thing, which is never a good sign for a game for me. So we'll see how BotW does

For the record, Horizon doesn't really come into it's own till it lets you loose. Get past the stupid child poo poo, it gets better.

Yeah, I really like Horizon. I'm gonna pick up Zelda tomorrow, I think, but I'm definitely going to keep playing Horizon for a while. If nothing else, the huge machine fights are pretty fun and varied. Breath of the Wild seems to have a lot of flexibility and complexity in its open world, but Horizon kind of condensed all that flexibility and complexity into fighting robot dinosaurs, and it's a good time.

I can't ignore my hype for Breath of the Wild, though, so I'm going to grab it and a long-overdue Wii U Pro Controller tomorrow :D

Can you sell weapons? I don't think I have come across a merchant that will yet. Better question, should I be making sure I sell stuff instead of just dropping it?

How early do you get to repair weapons? I'm running around with four weapons nearly broken and the next best are the lovely ~4 damage starting ones lying around. Just got through Kakariko so I'm not too far in. Do I use any of the mining material to repair them or something? Having durability in a game that came out in 2017 is really weird and it's stressing me out.

I don't have the game yet, but from everything I've heard, there is no weapon repairing. Ever. At all. You're supposed to be scavenging for weapons and throwing them away when they're about to break. Later on, you'll find weapons with increased durability, and one weapon that can never break but instead goes on "cooldown" when it would otherwise break and you can't use it for a while but you can't ever repair weapons.

If it's about to break, throw it at an enemy for extra damage.

For those electric Lizalfos, make some electric-weakening elixirs. Their attacks will become paltry.

I had one that was given to me and I still got killed in a single hit.

I'm stuck fighting a throwback monster at the top of a waterfall and this is pretty brutal, I die in two hits and some of his attacks seemingly will do random things when I attempt to dodge them and I'm not sure what's going on. What initiates the Flurry Attack? Is the window just ridiculously small? Also trying to hit his face with an arrow during hit charge attacks is bullshit and neigh impossible with Gyro aiming so maybe I'll turn it off.

Flurry Attack is basically Witch Time from Bayonetta - dodge an attack at the exact perfect time and everything goes slow-mo and you can murderlize who you were L-targetted on to.

I seem to be getting the timing better but I really think I'm dealing with a situation I probably shouldn't be in at this point, my closest kill of this fucker wears down 4-5 of my highest durability weapons and they really just chip at him. This poo poo really sucks.

Cut the grass around the village, they spawn occasionally, just gotta grab em quickly after the cut.

For my own question, has anyone figured out this particular hidden treasure quest? It's the one given to you on a pillar out at sea and directions are something along the lines of going in the direction the arrow is pointing and "17 of 24" and I have NO idea what it means.

Edit: Nevermind, figured it out, I was thinking about it too hard.

I think so, because this is dumb at this point. I have at least 30 deaths if not more. Does dodging not give you invincibility frames?

When you get your horse's affection up high enough, go to the Woodland Stable and talk to Breen. She can change the bridle and the saddle (if you've obtained any of either, I don't know where you get them from), as well as the style of the mane on your horse.

My pretty pink warsteed Buttercup now has flowers in her mane :allears:.

Well you need it because I'm fighting Lynel and his charge attacks are so large that it's nearly impossible to not take damage unless you get a Flurry which is seemingly random. I've had it engage right before an attack hits me like it should, but I've had it also engage after an attack has wiffed me, or I'm out of range, before an attack has started. I've had the Flurry happen in situations when I wasn't going to even be hit.

When you hear them, cut some of the nearby grass. They hide in the grass. But you have to be quick, after you reveal them from cutting grass, they try to fly away. You have to nab them.

No, you cannot sell weapons or armor. Armor is permanent and you only get one of each, weapons and bows and shields are temporary but cannot be sold. Only crafting materials and such goods can be sold.

Drop any weapons you aren't gonna use.

Do it from the pause inventory menu. Sadly there is no shortcut to drop from the quick switch menu.

Oh ok, thanks. At least it's possible. I snapped off three arrows just to break a bow and was sitting here thinking there had to be a better way.
