Yeah I was trying to figure out why I'm not really engaging hard wi th this game, and it's definitely the lack of music

I just got off of the plateau and I'm kinda :geno: but I dunno if the game changes much so I'm soldierin' on

I will concede that the chill ambient makes it very, very easy to play for 4-10 hours straight without noticing the passage of time, compared to older titles where the high-energy pumpin' jams would lead to fatigue after a while.

Incidentally I just got off the Plateau and I'm still in my lovely too small pants and shirt and now I'm worried I missed stuff, but I'm terrible about exploring in video james

Maybe that's why I'm not attaching to this too hard too, I'm usually much more of a theme park than a sandbox game player

You absolutely missed some pants which were around the temple of time area I think and the doublet which was a quest reward from the old man

gently caress Lynel, man. Spent an hour trying to kill that fucker because I'd get him down to a sliver of health over and over then he'd get a lucky shot off on me because the dodging in this game is so inconsistent and he has a absurdly large attack range. Took so many hits from my 50-atk Edge of Duality that it loving broke when he was down to 25%. Sure I probably could have come back later when I had more heart and better gear, but gently caress that, that son of a bitch needed to be punished right away.

You should be able to mount a goat and walk straight up cliffs on them 🤔

Also I'm starting to think I'm overdoing it with exploring every square inch of the map. After 15 hours of doing nothing but exploring the plateau and the Necluda province (and whatever shrines I come across) I have 3 pages each of materials and food. I have hundreds of ingredients and monster parts, there's no way I'm ever gonna use all this stuff. And this game is gonna take me over 200 hours at this rate 😳

The full set makes the bandanna work. I don't got the deets for you, but from my understanding, you need to go Southwest to reach it.

Lost Woods is so loving cool. It has a strong-rear end gimmick that's amazing when you figure it out.

Solid, yeah I figured if I follow the Gerudo path of the main quest, I'd get it, but I'm super hesitant to make that my first route since boy i'll die in that desert

on the other hand, gerudos own

also man i cant imagine what the Lost Woods are like in this game gently caress

How does the stabling work? Does it mean I can always get the horse back, even if I wander away and it disappears? Mainly concerned about Epona as I read that you can only summon her once. Seems a bitch to have to constantly check her in and out.

Once you register a horse, they stay right where you leave them. You can even see them on the map.

Some of these towers are loving intense, completely unassailable until late game.

Also Skull Island is legit. Even Bokoblins will one-hit you up there, but there's some nutty stuff.

Epona is a 1 time summon. If you don't stable him you're hosed.

After that the chest will spawn various items. Potentially armour.

Whoever decided to design a Stasis puzzle with a 100% perfect timing requirement can go gently caress themselves. With a spike wrapped bat. The control scheme, at least on the Wii U, is not tight enough to make it anything but pure random chance to complete the second Mirro Shaz puzzle.

Played this game for like 10 hours and have two major problems;

-The complete lack of music while exploring is super dull. I normally like ambient tracks but I don't think it really fits Zelda. Its too minimalist.

-Cooking a fairy does not actually cook it

Otherwise its super fun

There is a special place in Hyrule Hell for Mirro Shaz, and if there isn't one I will make one for him and hate him into it.

Get a hammer (or any weapon, or stick to bombs) and mine. There's breakable rocks that have amber and such in lots of places, mountains specially (if you can reach the edge of the Death Mountain zone before the heat kicks in then you're aces) and sometimes you'll get rare gems that sell for over 200 rupees a pop.

It's cool that the shrines basically add up to a huge dungeon, I love the optional hidden chests.

It's fun to solve a puzzle and not be sure if you are abusing a mechanic or if it's just a super clever puzzle.

lmaooo gently caress that, bless your soul.

the only cool thing about that shrine was trying to jury rig the paths into ways so you could scurry along them rather than figure out how they actually wanted you to do it
