Zore posted:We know that Zora age slower than Hylians and live a ton longer. Mipha talks about it during the cutscene you get with her and Link on the Elephant. Sidon is over 100 for instance. She even says at the start of the quest that the reason she's having you follow the letter instead of doing it herself is because her mom won't let her wander too far from home. I think Mipha is what a Zora teenager is supposed to look like, since she's halfway between the children and the adults.

Thanks!  Is there any way to get heat/cold resistant clothing without actually getting to their respective locations first? I'm extremely bad at using elixirs. s.i.r.e. posted:Speaking of, is there a full set of Zora Armor? I only got the shirt because of the story but I never found the hat or pants. There's a full set and it's pretty nice. You get the pants from a sidequest in Zora's Domain and the hat is hidden in a chest. The location of the chest is on one of the large ancient tablets around Zora's Domain.

Harrow posted:The only downside is that weapon durability makes me want to avoid combat when I can, because even though I usually win, it often costs more than I gained. Maybe when the light scaling kicks in and enemies start carrying better weapons I'll stop feeling like I wasted durability on my good weapons just to walk away with a handful of arrows and a club. For real don't worry about it. There are weapons everywhere and very quickly you'll find better.

Kirios posted:I... I loved Witcher 3 to death, but I'm definitely loving this more, and I'm struggling to figure out why. I think part of it is, W3 only really has three regions.

Hell, I'm not sure I could get lost in this game, even Generic Mountain Valley #17 has a unique identity. What's bugging me is that I cannot work out exactly how they accomplished this.

causticBeet posted:Rain is the most hilariously unfun bullshit. Like it's a neat idea but you literally cannot climb in the rain and it's such a huge part of the traversal mechanics. I think it's hilarious. I didn't even realize that rain had an effect on climbing, so I was showing my friend the game and said "you can climb any surface no problem!" And proceeded to slip down a tree.

Is there any more Korok to explore without being swallowed by the mist? It's such a relatively small area for being so cool looking, so I'm gonna be sad if that's all the whimsical woodsy stuff in the game. Also, it seems like a huge chunk of map is taken up by Lost Woods mist shenanigans. I feel a bit cheated. >: (causticBeet posted:Rain is the most hilariously unfun bullshit. Like it's a neat idea but you literally cannot climb in the rain and it's such a huge part of the traversal mechanics. The frequency of rain sucks a giant butthole. A few things I've noticed that kind of help: - rain is somewhat dynamic in that it won't just fall through scenery. I've frequently been able to climb like normal if there's a ledge/overhang/anything above me shielding the rain. - mashing the jump button will get you farther than attempting to climb normal speed.

Gerudo has 3 outfits, Goron 1, Rito 1. Plus Gerudo has 5 hats as well. There are also 3 shrine-reward outfits, an outfit from a hidden travelling merchant, 2 sidequest exclusive pants in the Gerudo region, 4 travelling merchant masks, 3 outfits in Kakariko/Hermeno, 1 anti-guardian outfit and the old shirt/pants

Hell, I'm not sure I could get lost in this game, even Generic Mountain Valley #17 has a unique identity. I really think it comes down to a couple of things (that I'll compare to other open world games that are both very, very good in their own right): 1. They made traversal part of the game in a way most open world games don't. In The Witcher 3, your choices are run or ride Roach. In Horizon, your choices are run or override a machine to ride, and sometimes you can climb specific cliffs. In Zelda, you can run, ride a horse, get up high and glide, climb every mountain or hill in your way or go around them, make yourself an updraft to glide up and get a head start on climbing, swim up a waterfall... 2. The world at once feels big and spacious and packed with life. In The Witcher 3, if you wander around, what you're going to find are monster nests with a couple of out-of-the-way side quests. In Horizon, same deal--you're going to find some machines to fight, maybe a big one, and possibly a bandit camp or one of the handful of collectibles. You're never going to go far in either game without stumbling into one of those things. In Horizon, you'll even see most places that are actual destinations pre-marked on your map, including cauldrons, even when you haven't climbed a tallneck to reveal that region's map. In Zelda, you're going to find korok puzzles, weird NPCs who want to chat, shrine puzzles, and shrines, and those are just the things that a) aren't enemies, and b) aren't marked on your map at all, even when you reveal the region by climbing a tower. What that did is it made a huge open world that takes a while to get around (when you aren't fast traveling) into something that you enjoy taking that time to traverse. I won't say I don't feel the need to use fast travel--game's fuckin' huge and sometimes I don't want to spend an hour traveling to get back to Impa and finish a quest--but there's never a time when I'm going somewhere new and wondering, "Am I there yet?"

Yeah, I know there are official guides but gently caress those guides. If there was ever a game to say "you know... we're not going to publish one for this game" this would've been it.

You can use any bit of terrain or any object in the world in conjunction with your abilities for some purpose. A boring ol' chunk of ugly mountain geography can actually be utilized, whether you're rolling something down it, climbing up it, flying off of it, etc. The same with grass, water, etc. The systems make everything at least somewhat meaningful and not just art assets to look at and pass by. I also dig that animals/critters/food/materials that are only present in certain locales give the game a bit of a pokemon element. A dragonfly that gives heat resistance is found roughly where you'd expect, etc.

Harrow posted:1. They made traversal part of the game in a way most open world games don't. This is the best thing ever about Breath of the Wild. My mind was blown when I realized I could climb anything, only held back by my stamina (which can be upgraded, refilled, etc.). No "climbable walls", just walls. No invisible walls or "can't go that way" messages. I feel like their design process was "can't have sequence breaking if there's no sequence  ". It's surprising coming from Nintendo, and especially surprising after Skyward Sword which was painfully condescending in a never-ending tutorial kind of way. Sure you can get to Kakariko by following the road and talking to NPCs that give you some tutorials along the way... but nothing's stopping you from climbing straight up the Dueling Peaks and paragliding straight over there (which I did)

Eiji has stated in an interview that they started with an empty field and kept playing the game and adding things to make it fun and playing and adding over and over endlessly so I'm sure at a lot points they felt filler moments too and would add a little something to make it more interesting

I found a lovely little cave full of great ore deposits; worth marking on your map and returning periodically. Just east of Lurelin there's a rock monster in an alcove. Climb the wall behind it to reach a landing with a little pond and a cave. Go in the cave -> profit. Also tons of cattle roaming in this region. Shoot and collect.

Killed my first guardian! It was one of the ones stuck in the ground... I ended up paragliding on top of it and landing on the back of it's head and it couldn't figure out where I was attacking from. Huzzah! I've also been thinking about the gameflow a bit... The game points you East towards Kakariko at the start and I feel like most people bumbled into Lanayru and Zora's Domain shortly afterwards. Did anyone trying saying 'gently caress it' to Kakariko and striking out west or north at the start of the game? How did that work out for you? I'd be curious to try it myself.

So I said gently caress it, I'm gonna go beat the game and.. I was getting murdered by all the guardians around the front of the castle, so I looked around the back and found a waterfall leading up to the castle. Turns out that waterfall lead to the final boss and I skipped pretty much the entirety of Hyrule Castle inadvertently. Kind of anticlimactic.
