Japanese Amiibos are in stock and work identically to US Amiibos. Just gotta wait for them to ship from glorious Sunshine Land. You can get them on Ebay or Rakuten. :japan:

Where? Everyplace I've checked either is out of stock or sells them for the equivalent of 60 dollars.I found an 8Bit link at TRU so at least I can get that hat.

This is unironically a good showcase of why this game owns.

Ugh, the stupid WiiU resets the deadzones on the Pro controller thumbsticks every time it wakes up, and it auto-sleeps if you don't use it for a couple moments, and then if it messes up the deadzone you are hosed because the tablet refuses to do anything while the Pro controller is sending inputs, and there's no way to power off the controller without turning off the console too.

This has happened to me like 3 times now where I have to reset the console to play, and right now I'm in the middle of a boss, so its gonna send me back to the start of the dungeon. Not that they're long, but comeon.

E: Thank god, you can fix it by holding A, B, +, and - for several seconds. Was driving me crazy.

I agree that it is dumb but instead of doing that I think you can hold A, B, +, and - for 3 seconds to recalibrate the sticks, similar to L+R+Start on the N64.

This is a dumb question but do things sell for different prices to different vendors? I see people post things like "combine a firefly with four lovely goblin horns for 100g" but I only get 40 from doing that. And increasing the quality of the horns still makes them sell for really cheap.

Seriously, thunderblight ganon is the most infuriating boss I've fought in any zelda game. I struggle to think of dark souls bosses as frustrating as this. He warps around which breaks lock on, then he has perfect guard so a parry is the *only* way to hurt him, then he strips your shield constantly and attacks you while your shield is stripped, AND he has guardian lasers with massive AOE which hit you even if you're standing behind a wall. gently caress!

I just looked up a video of somebody fighting him and after he goes to phase 2 he doesn't do the teleport strike at all anymore, but for me he just keeps doing it over and over and over. Maybe its bugged. This is ridiculous.

I've beaten every other boss in this game on my first try without even thinking about it, and then suddenly this guy is like dark souls on cocaine. What the gently caress?

I haven't fought him yet (couldn't figure out how to wake him up and still haven't, I guess he's just getting his beauty sleep :v:) but I did enjoy stealth-climbing up and in, and then looking out the door and seeing the "traditional" Ganondorf Castle Staircase that I had skipped entirely. This game does a great job of keeping the traditional Zelda tropes and then letting you subvert them entirely, laughing all the way.

Also with the above, I really like how there's not really any gating (so far) that's not knowledge- or skill-based-- so far the only restrictions to getting places have been "knowing the trick" and "being able to survive the thing between you and it" instead of "you don't have the proper plot macguffin".

Also I've heard that the Hylian shield is available but don't want to spoil it outright by looking up the questline, is it like the Master Sword in that there are clues if you've played other LoZ games, or does it just start from some random no-name somewhere where I have to talk to everyone in every town before and after every plot quest to make sure I don't miss it?

I've been trying to attack him and literally nothing will get past him except a flurry. I have him down to a sliver of health but now he just keeps stripping my shield and I can't get a parry. This is loving insane.

E: FINALLY got another flurry. I had to go through 3 shields.

It drops from an optional boss in Hyrule Castle, no quest attached. It has extreme durability (the #2 most durable shield in the game according to the book has 32 durability, Hylian has 800) but it can break and outside of a lucky amiibo scan you can't get another one.
