Are there random elements to the chest items? I scoured the gently caress out of the plateau and never found a fire rod 😞 I watched some videos from last summer and I'm pretty sure I went to the area where people were finding it in the demo

Also the little Korok puzzles are clever and I love stumbling across them. Need to find out where the dude who updgrades your storage capacity goes after you exhaust him in Kakariko though, I'm sitting on like 20 seeds  Also just so everyone knows, the 3 DLC chests are all right next to some of the shrines on the plateau (one literally right next to the entrance, one on top of a wall in the area with the laser guardians and one on a snowy wall along the drop) and besides the Switch shirt its just a ruby and 5 bomb arrows

If anyone want climbing pants, I found some in the Hateno area: More specifically, the "line up three trees" shrine Also, please Nintendo: Make a toggle so I can play in 720p portable mode on the big screen. Bad frame rate bothers me much more than low res. (But I won't play a 100+ hour game on such a small screen) ymgve fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Mar 4, 2017 |

The density of this game is insane. I've played for like a dozen hours and have only visited 3 or 4 towers, barely scratching the surface of exploring each area. I only just got the camera functions. This game is seriously deep. I don't see myself tiring of it anytime soon. Too many open-world games are boring or repetitive, this one might actually be the real deal, finally. The density reminds me of GTA:SA - there's something noteworthy on almost every single block and the empty areas are noteworthy for being empty.

Some of the mountain areas seem a bit barren though - I get a little bit annoyed when I climb to a high peak and find gently caress all up there, not even a low tier chest.

I went off the reservation just trying to hike across a mountain to walk directly to my destination, and I found a Korok puzzle in the middle of nowhere.

Decided to focus on getting all the towers/opening the map up first (at least the ones I can - assuming there's one up near Death Mountain that'll gently caress me up without something with heat resistance - anyone know where I can get this?). Almost every section I've uncovered has been way bigger than I expected. This goddamn game.

Some of the towers I've come across have been so well guarded. I managed to avoid guardian lasers to scramble up one, but another had three wizzrobes and assorted lizalfos around it and I turned tail and ran

Anyone have any hints on how to kill the evil robots? Not exactly how to do it just hints and tips. I thought the ones outside of the bomb shrine on the plateau were new beamoses and could be beaten with bombs but I quickly realized my mistake when they said "gently caress you" and shot their lasers at me  My other story about them is (immediate post-plateau spoilers) after getting off the plateau I went north to try and get the tower for the area around Hyrule Castle and discovered these dudes were everywhere. I ended up stealth/fast climbing the tower because otherwise I was getting sniped off it by them. This game is incredible.

It took me about 4 hours of playing the game before I found out that the right joy con has motion control you use to aim the bow and scope. Now i'm wondering if theres a way to dive under water to get to this treasure chest.

Some of the AI is way too clever for its own good I tried hiding on top of a rock to escape the Lynel's shock arrows and hopefully reset him to wandering around instead of trying to murder me, motherfucker aimed vertically and started arching his shots at steep angles onto where I was hiding. Clever bastard  .

is there a way to switch lock on targets without breaking lock on? Also I'm 99% sure the answer is no, but can lock on be set to toggle?

It really feels like this game was supposed to use both screens on the Wii U (basically anything where you interact with the slate just screams "pad screen") and its like they just went and yanked that out to not let the Wii U version have any features lacking in the Switch version. Sucks because the other times they put the map/inventory on a second screen it was great. Also the box advertises that you can play with a remote and nunchuck but you cant. Beyond me whining like a baby about those two things, the game loving owns so far

It's more likely they folded development into a single version for a loving huge open-world game to minimize bugs and make it easier to dump the final build to both consoles come release/debug time.

So because I figured this would be such a broad experience and because I've always wanted to tbh I've been taking notes while I play in a little notebook. Just littlw observations like what ingredients to mix, some notes on puzzles and where I found some stuff. I've a small personal questlog too for some places to look for and some other things to try, because I'm bored as gently caress in work and I can't deal with it. I'm also curious about how everyone is finding/figuring out cooking. I'll spoil it just in case actually So how I think it works is the more food items you throw in the more hearts each dish produces and then more again if you mix ingredients but I haven't made any massive dishes yet just a mix of one or two ingredients. With seasoning I think the more seasoning you add the longer or stronger the buff effect is. So you could cook really potent spicy apples with one part apple four parts chilli. I for some reason never tried mixing seasoning to see if you can get multiple buffs per dish but I know buffs dont stack when eating seperate dishes. So you could make food that heals a lot buffs a lot or go halves on ingredients I think? I think elixers work similarly, but i have no idea if using multiple monster parts or multiple..uh regents lets say, changes anything. If it works like condiments the regent sould decide how strong a buff you get is but then what do monster parts do? Are some of them just better paired with certain regents or are they literally just bases for elixers with no real effect? Cooking and eating has been a ton of fun so far. My map is like 90% pot markers for cooking fires and even though I've been cooking like crazy I still feel pretty far from being a Hylian Gourmand

For cooking a few tips; Do not mix ingredients with active effects like +stealth and +def or whatever. You get a failed dish if you do (it'll restore half of what a successful recipe would) Mixing just vegetables and mushrooms will not get buffs activated if you include too many. 4 spicy peppers and an apple just gets you mixed greens which heals. You need a protein base.

Is there a comprehensive list on what the Zelda amiibos do? I've seen some lists but they seem to be incomplete. One will say only the Smash TP Link and Wolf Link do anything unique, others say other Link amiibo will drop special armor. None list what the Ganon amiibo does (which seems to be random items). It'd be a little weird to be if the special BotW amiibos didn't do anything actually special in the game.

I'm so goddamn stingy with weapon management I can't bother to save a slot for a korok leaf and instead opt to freeze block across the ocean when taking the raft w/ leaf is 10x faster. I don't carry torches so I burn 300 rubies to make sure I have more than 20 fire arrows at all times. Honestly you can never have enough regular arrows. I'm always restocking as much as I can get even if the prices are terrible. Taking out a blue lynel gives you a bow that shoots 5 arrows at once for the cost of one.

Oh my god I beat that puzzle you use the motion controls to move a ball through the maze by turning the maze around, waiting for it to drop again then slamming the board against it the right way to bounce it directly into the slide. Am I the only one having a lot of issues with the motion controls? It feels way, way worse than the original Wii, so while using the stick is oversensitive and slow I can't see another option. Game still great tho. Is there some detailed poo poo about the horses? Is there some early game thing you should deffo not miss? (I didn't find the improved pants until way later on the Plateau and I have pretty much no upgrades or cool poo poo but a climbing bandana)

I don't think there's a single person that did it the way it was meant to. Instead using the maze as a bat or the underside to roll the ball onto the platform. Nintendo we've gone through this, no one likes forced gyro mini games.
