Yeah I'm on Wii U. I'm in the same boat where I just want to quit sometimes because of the controls but the game is so good I can't stop.

I hate when games have special flower control schemes and give people zero options to customize it.

I really don't think this control scheme is all that bad, though. I'm not sure of any better solution for weapon/shield/bow/arrow/rune-swapping, given that putting them all on one ring menu or something would be a nightmare. You really do need separate buttons to bring up each menu. I could see maybe swapping sprint and crouch. Jump on X isn't so bad, and you can move it to B (so it's like games like Horizon) if you want to already.

The confirm/cancel thing fascinates me, because for some reason I have absolutely 0 trouble switching back and forth between Nintendo and Sony/Microsoft control schemes, but as soon as a game where I use a Playstation or Xbox controller uses O for confirm (even though it's in the same place as A on a Nintendo controller) it trips me up. It makes no sense.

I also enjoy the switch in Western games that happened around the time of the Playstation, because we were all used to A (right button) for confirm and B (lower button) for cancel, but as soon as Sony labeled them with a red O and a blue X people got confused in the west and we had to switch it, and now and forever more it's different in the different regions.

Speaking of, do you folks dye your armor to clash with their environment?
Fire gear is blue, Zora is red (for Mipha) and Squall is yellow. Though, Barbarian gets red because I like my Link to be hot and bloody.

I'm not dying Ancient because it is already perfect.

so with the camelblight gannon were you suppose to parry him or dodge him? I would parry him but only get one hit when he was stunned. I guess you could've dodged him and do flurry attacks?

If you only ever dye one set of armor, it should be the Radiant set. Just trust me on this.

I just did this yesterday, and my method was to get shocked and drop my shield or get chain hit from the perfectly timed attacks hitting me as soon as I got up for 80% of the fight and then cheesing it with Stasis+ and also just smashing its shield when it blocks over and over until it breaks and I get a couple hits in. Hope this helps!

Also lightning causing you to drop your items is bad game design :bravo:

When I went to find the Stalnox a second time to take a picture after killing it the first time, I was able to find him in the same place after a blood moon, but instead of getting stunned when I shot him in the eye, he just went "gently caress this" and dove into the ground, never to be seen again.

I just did regular block to his quick attack and he would stay still long enough for me to wail on his shield till it depleted then knock him down.

The worst is Sony because their Japanese games are O to confirm and X to cancel, but US games are X to confirm and O to cancel. If I play an import on my US consoles the save menus will even be reversed from the game I'm playing.

iirc Nintendo was the first to make the a/b combo but everyone else (playstation and xbox) made it the other way after, and yeah, the Japanese playstation counterpart at least is like Nintendo. All pretty silly regardless

Also maybe not the fastest, but the easiest way to cheese/exploit rupees is to

Gamble in Lurelin Village in East Necluda. Save, put down 100 rupees and try your luck at getting 300. If you don't put it down again and try because you'll still come out ahead. Then load/save and rinse/repeat

It doesn't seem that amazing or anything to me, but the english dub sets the bar pretty low with the breathy fake-rear end british accented VAs for Zelda and Mipha.

I don't think so. I think that line is just supposed to explain why Calamity Ganon is so different from previous incarnations. Ganon is super loving pissed about losing constantly so now he's turned into this monster fueled by nothing more than pure hatred. Rather than being a tyrant king he's instead become a force of pure destruction. So if he shows up again in this timeline he's probably still gonna be a pissed off goo monster.

Yeah, for whatever that's worth. She also says Ganon is gone for now in the post-credits stuff, IIRC, so who knows? I feel like Link has dunked on the absolute final never-coming-back version of Ganon like a dozen times by now.
